The Butler lake chain is a good place also. Sand bottom lakes, you can put a 24' cabin cruiser on there and go full speed. No speed limits and the lake chain is all connected by canals. I hear the water, but be up for a 10 times on your homeowners insurance even a few miles from the shore. If you want a nice beach place, try also Sarasota and Dunedin. Definitely the West coast. Still, for the ease of what I do, Orlando is ideal. I was just in Hollywood and Lakeland today.
