That's a nice area, as are Brooksville, the Crystal River area, Ocala. The panhandle is pretty, too.
You can't escape hurricane risk here (nor earthquakes in Ca, brushfires in the SW, blizzards in the north, etc.). But you can eliminate the rising-water flood risk by staying back from the coasts.
We like the Tampa area, but are still city-types and still working. You'll find some place you like - it's a great state.
