I liked Flemming Island, just a ways outside Jax.
I’ll look into Flemming Island, thanks. What do you like about it?
Check out Ormond Beach (just north of Daytona Beach). About a 45 minute drive from Orlando. Real estate is still a bargain in the area. Beastly hot and humid in the summer, but with the ocean breezes it’s usually not as bad as the inland areas around Orlando. You can drive right onto the beach which is very convenient compared to the beaches further South.
