The issue with having Arcadia as our summer place is that we'd need a reliable winter place as there's no flexibility with the open/close dates of the season. Renting, therefore, may be a challenge, though maybe a similar type association might work.
It's kind of in the boonies, but there's an Arcadia in Florida. The Peace River runs nearby, the plentiful source of large fossilized bones—and Megalodon shark teeth!

Would love to hear any SC or GA recommendations. (I should also add that while we both play golf, we don't want to be in a golf community...ideally would like to be on some sort of coastal waterway, bay, etc) Thanks!
Driving from Key West to Pensacola, it takes 13 hours to drive across Florida—if you don't stop.

Surely, there's some places that would appeal to you. A reminder...in Winter, the difference in temperatures can be 30 degrees between Miami and Orlando.

Many times, a couple of Florida beaches make "The World's 10 Best Beaches" list.
