Winter is a perfect time because it gives everyone a chance get away from the cold and snow (who live in that kind of climate). I long to get away from the rain by January myself even though I live in Northern Cal. I say January up to Spring Break time (when Florida should be avoided) is optimal. Lodging can be cheaper in non-winter months. But, if booked a reasonable time ahead, lodging can be pretty cheap in Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood during the winter. Of course, if one avoids major hotels and stays at a smaller motel. Miami Beach and the Keys are more expensive. I used a free ticket to fly there last Jan. but my friends paid only $200 RT on Southwest because they booked well in advance and the plane did stop once on the way. A rental car only cost about $150-200 for a week.
