My parents have been spending winters in Ft Myers and seem to like that general area. The wife and I are in the process of looking at properties in the St. Pete area.
As other have said, I wouldn't go near Orlando.
Personally, I love Miami Beach, but it's more pricey.
Boca/West Palm Beach/Fort Lauderdale is a nice stretch on the east coast of FL, but we seem to prefer the Gulf side.
IMO, the Tampa/St Pete/Sarasota region has good property values, lots to do in the area, great boating access and a good vibe. Sarasota is a little more "retirement" vibe than St. Pete.
