Bear in mind that the further inland you go, the less you will get ocean breezes to cool off in the summer. Of course, you're spared the problems of being trapped on the barrier island if/when the bridges are closed. There is a reason that house is on stilts and it's not to give you a great view of the surrounding countryside. Having said that, I liked the attitude of the local sheriff when I was living in Brevard County (NOT to be confused with Broward which was a s--t show) and the afternoon rains helped keep the place cooler than Orlando.
