North Port Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
North Port
is located just twenty minutes from the Gulf of Mexico in Sarasota County, Florida. It offers a combination of relaxed country lifestyle with all the conveniences of a big city. North Port has the distinction of being the smallest “big” city in the state of Florida. It is the fifth largest city in the state in land area but is only 10 percent populated. There are unlimited recreational opportunities and 1,000 acres of beautiful parks surrounding North Port where you can enjoy activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, golf and hiking. Cruise the Intercoastal Waterway or rent a boat for a day of deep-sea fishing. Explore the white sand beaches and other unique towns on Florida’s central Gulf Coast, or take a day trip to Walt Disney World, just two hours east of North Port. North Port is also home to Florida’s Warm Mineral Springs and Park. These springs produce nine million gallons daily and maintain a water-surface temperature of 87 degrees. Thousands of guests visit annually to experience the heavily mineralized, warm spring waters. There is every type of restaurant you can think of in the North Port area, and shopping and lodging accommodations are abundant, making your Gulf Coast Florida vacation complete.
The Southwest Region of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, has comfortable weather year round. At 5 to 25 feet above sea level, the region has a subtropic climate that is checked by the tempering influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The Peace River, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, contributes to the hot and humid climate in the summertime (but it's not unbearable due to cooling Gulf breezes.)Prevailing winds are normally 12-18 mph. The rainy season lasts from June through September, with rain spread fairly evenly throughout those months. Thunderstorms tend to pop up quickly but also dissipate just as quickly, with the sunshine quickly returning. The winters are lovely with warm afternoons and mild evenings and much less rain. Hurricane season generally runs late summer through late October in the Gulf of Mexico.
