For some people, sharing a home is very successful but for the majority, it's not. In the end there are either massive arguments, one half ends up buying out the other half or the home ends up being sold altogether.
If you're thinking of doing something like this, be prepared to lose the 'friendship' of the other person(s), get a solicitor to draw up an agreement of how the sharing of the home and expenses will be set up and also what will happen if the other person wants out of the agreement.
I don't think you could do a sharing deal with another party who also wanted to winter in Florida (because that means that you'd be stuck with their company for up to six months a year) and you'd need to find someone whose uses of the home were the opposite to yours.
