The weather is fantastic in the summer an will be much less humid in the summer than Atlanta.  

AC is a must in summer, and recommended over swamp coolers, as those do not work on humid days.

LOTS of people in beach markets like mine report the Schlage Encode has issues with the humidity/moisture. 

That would br a lot of humidity in a basement. 

If you're trying to salvage the carpet, turn the carpet over once every 3ish hours, and keep the fans on the carpet for 24 hours until the carpet is bone dry.  8) rent an industrial dehumidifier from home depot/lowes, and run it in the basement for at least a day or two until the humidity of the basement is low.

This material has 0 tolerance for humidity of any type, and will explode like a sponge if it gets wet a couple times.I have seen situations where homes are closed up all summer due to foreclosure and large portions of the floor start to swell and buckle just from excess humidity and no A/C.

Double-tapped breakers, all dishwashers did not function at all, multiple sinks and faucets actively leaked, Improperly installed flooring that had buckled, very high humidity in one units was causing moisture damage, furnaces full of drywall dust, radon systems that were not air-tight in the sump pit, and the list goes on and on.I listed just a few of what would ultimately be the longest repair request I've drafted in my career.  

Watch out for build-up of humidity.

The default mode of operation for mini-splits is to run the fan continuously 24/7, which causes high humidity because all of the condensation is being blown back into the building.You can get top tier mitsubishi units for cheap at surplus city liquidators.

In Jacksonville, it gets so humid that it is necessary to attract good tenants.
