Snowbird moves are not ordinary moves. Timing is tied to the season, the Florida home often sits empty through hurricane season, and many seasonal residents only need part of a household shipped between two addresses. We plan around all three.

For arrivals, we coordinate delivery with your closing, lease start or HOA move-in window and place furniture where you want it. For departures, we can move lanai and patio furniture inside or into storage, pack what is heading north, and leave the home ready for storm season. When you return, we redeliver.

Long-distance and interstate moves to and from Southwest Florida can be full loads, partial loads or boxes-only shipments, so you pay for the weight you actually send. Short-term storage bridges the gap when dates do not line up.

Peak weeks (October and November, April and May) book up first. Request a free quote online or call 941-273-6928 with your dates, both addresses and what is moving, and we will send a written estimate the same business day.

Seasonal moves built around the snowbird calendar

Southwest Florida's seasonal residents move on a predictable calendar: arrivals in October and November, departures in April and May. We plan crews around those peaks so your closing, lease start or HOA move-in window lines up with a confirmed truck, not a waitlist.

Closing up your Florida home for the summer

Before you head north, we can move patio and lanai furniture indoors or into storage, pack the items you want shipped, and leave the home ready for hurricane season. When you return, we redeliver and place everything where it belongs.

Partial loads and boxes-only shipping

Most seasonal moves are not full-house moves. Ship boxes, bins, bikes and a few furniture pieces between homes and pay for the weight you actually send. Ask for a boxes-only or partial-load quote.

Frequently asked questions

When should snowbirds book movers in Southwest Florida?

Book early for the two peak windows: October-November arrivals and April-May departures. Those weeks fill first in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Venice and Cape Coral. Two to four weeks ahead is a safe target; mid-week dates open sooner than weekends.

Can you store my furniture while I'm up north for the summer?

Yes. The same crew that moves you can wrap, inventory and store furniture, then redeliver when you return in the fall. Storage is quoted with the move so there are no surprise fees.

Do you move snowbirds between Florida and other states?

Yes. Flamingo Moving handles long-distance and interstate moves from Southwest Florida, including boxes-only and partial loads when you only need seasonal belongings shipped.

What about hurricane season when my Florida home is empty?

Many seasonal residents book hurricane prep storage before leaving in spring: furniture from lanais and ground floors goes into secure storage and comes back after the season.
