Can't comment on any particular CG on Siesta Key. It is a very nice area tho. But what kind of storms are you worried about?

There have been very unusual, once a century, winter storms like the one that hit the Cedar Key area and was called "the storm of the century" no surprise. But that's the only one I recall and I've lived in Florida since 1960.

Wait! Hurricane season is from June 01, until NOVEMBER 30.
Don't believed me, here is a link: National Hurricane Center
I have also lived in Florida many years, (over 40) and we found September to be the most active month. Not too many storms in October or November, but they have occurred. That is also confirmed by data from the National Hurricane Center.
In fact, Hurricane Wilma hit Naples on October 25, 2005. We lived through it. It was a Cat 3, and we had no power for 17 days. It was one on the three major factors that made me retire.
So bottom line is: It really depends on how you define "Winter."
