Trading Rain for Sunshine: What It’s Really Like Moving Your Family to Florida

If you’ve ever tried moving house with kids, you already know: chaos comes standard. Toys in boxes that should hold towels. Tearful goodbyes. A dog that knows something’s up.

Now imagine doing all of that an ocean or continent away.

The idea of moving your family from the UK to Florida sounds exciting — beaches, palm trees, outdoor living — but behind every dreamy Instagram post is a parent wondering, “Where do I even start?”

That’s exactly where we come in.

At Jacobs Relocation, we help families turn what feels like an impossible move into something calm, organized, and (believe it or not) even enjoyable. Because we’ve done it ourselves.

A Family Move Is Never Just a Move

Relocating abroad isn’t just about shipping boxes and signing leases. It’s about helping your whole family land softly in a new life.

We focus on what really matters to parents — the schools, the neighborhoods, the routines, and the comfort of knowing someone’s got your back.

Here’s how we make it easier:

• School Guidance That Actually Makes Sense
  From international and British-style schools to the best-rated local options in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and beyond, we help you understand what fits your child — not just what’s closest on a map.

• Neighborhood Matching (Because Google Maps Doesn’t Tell You Everything)
  Florida is full of beautiful options, but each area has its own rhythm. Whether you want beachside calm in Delray, family-friendly communities in Boca, or something more city-based in Miami, we’ll help you find your perfect match.

• Relocation Logistics Without the Headaches
  Visas, movers, shipping, and temporary housing — we connect you with trusted professionals and handle the details so you can focus on your family, not your inbox.

• Local Support From People Who’ve Been There
  From finding a pediatrician to discovering where locals grab Sunday brunch, we help you settle not just your furniture — but your life.

We’re a Family-First Relocation Service — Because That’s Who We Are

I’m Adam Jacobs — a dad, husband, and real estate professional who made the same leap from London to California and then to South Florida. I remember the mix of excitement and anxiety, and how invaluable it was to have someone on the ground who understood what mattered most to families.

That experience inspired Jacobs Relocation — a personal, boutique-style service designed for people just like you.

We’re not a corporate relocation company. We don’t hand you a checklist and disappear. We walk beside you through every stage — from the first phone call to the moment you’re watching your kids run barefoot through your new garden.

Making Florida Feel Like Home

If you’re dreaming about trading grey skies for sunshine, but the logistics feel daunting — take a breath. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Let’s turn your family’s move into the fresh start it’s meant to be — smooth, supported, and even a little magical.
