Just got back from investigating the Tampa area, mainly Clearwater beach area, and the fort Meyers beach area.....I fell in love with the fort meyers beach area and am looking to maybe buy in that area. But won't rule out the Clearwater area....any advice, suggestions, pitfalls, etc. From anyone that knows what to look for or watch out for? By the way.....WHAT A BEAUTIFULL AREA.....

Everglade rednecks that make Ozark hillbillies look like members of The Royal Thames Yacht Club.
