My wife and I are 65+ & both retired. At the present time we want to keep our home (Lexington, SC) and rent for 3 months in the summer in a cooler climate such as in the mountains of NC, PA, ME etc. and during the winter months rent a home in FL. for 3 months and get the best of both worlds so to speak!

(December, January, February) down south
We loved the Del Webb, Sun City 55+ type communities that offer a lot of amenities but are having a devil of a time finding homes for rent by owner to keep the rental costs down. When we contact these type of 55+ communities all they want to do is sell us a home naturally. Eventually we may purchase a home in a retirement community but right now we just want to sample a little.
Not much luck with web sites on the net and with local realtors who seem to only want to sell us a home.
