Let me tell you from a FL native that the summers are horrendous. I will say that winters are usually great, however, I remember some Christmases where it was actually hot. We aren't beach or pool people, so staying cool in the water is not an option. The only option is to get out for a few months to some place cooler. As mentioned earlier, the N. GA mountains are really nice. We used to have a cabin in Rabun Gap, which is basically Clayton GA. Clayton is a nice small town, and we love the area. If we didn't have family and a grandson in central FL, we'd probably move to the Clayton area. You also might take a look at Franklin NC.
