Longer ducting runs to those rooms from the heater system will help a little. Hopefully those rooms don't have shorter duct runs.

My master bath and bedroom are interior to the house with the garage on one side so they are natually hotter. I do the vent thing as well but a lot of times I will leave the bathroom fan on in the bathroom to pull hot air out and will crack the bedroom window a little in the winter.

You have a design problem and you are going to have to find a good company to come in and figure it out. Seems builders the past 20 years or so chisel all the contractors and if it was built as a spec house especially they will always go with the lowest price available and then you have design problems. Do some research of HVAC contractors in your area and find a good one. May be a fairly inexpensive fix but who knows until you know what the real problem is.

I also use those portable radiator heaters in the downstairs bedrooms in the winter. Hot air flows up so I can practically leave the heat in the rest of the house off with those going.

If you have a 2 story house with (1) system that always gets hard to control. You may have to check into zoning the system, then you could have a thermostat in upstairs and in downstairs. Possibly even another in the master suite.

Sorry, I seen the post above mine and thought it was you. Zoning is still an option. I have been a contractor in SEK for 24 years and I do a lot of zoning just for these reasons plus you can turn other parts of the house up or down when you are / are not using it.

Why would the room be hotter during the winter time though? You'd think that it would be colder because the heat isn't getting there.

It stays hotter in the summer and winter? My man cave and master bedroom used to be hotter in summer and colder in winter. I fixed it by replacing the windows, adding insulation in the attic and running an 18" duct directly off of the air handler an splitting it down to 12" at each room. Worked like a charm

Don't know but almost certainly a duct issue. Being hotter in summer and winter is usually a sign of a lot of hot air migrating, like upstairs but on a single story house IDK. Like I said really need to have a real good contractor look at it. If it was windows or insulation I would think it would be hot in summer cold in winter.

I've got the exact same situation as you. Same amount of rooms and single level house like you. That side of our house is the west and southwest side of the house. Our master bedroom and bathroom together. We have two AC zones in our house so I keep that side a few degrees cooler when running the AC. We also put up dark sun screens on all those windows. While it's still hotter over there, the sun shades have helped tremendously from when we moved in. I would start with doing some sort of window screens(can be removed) or window tinting. It wasn't terrible expensive.

The only simple solution is to set the fan to run all the time thereby keeping the air circulating constantly. Otherwise you're probably looking at modifications to the ducting system which could be difficult if it's not easily accessible.
