Living on Texas coast? Any advice

We used to own a beachfront property in Virginia - sold it this year. The rate at which things rust and corrode is hard to comprehend until you have lived through it. It is one thing when it is an income property, but as a retirement property make sure you budget for a lot more maintenance than in a non-beach location.
 
We own a house in New Smyrna Beach Florida. Step off our deck into the beach sand of the barrier island just half a mile beach walk from Cape Canaveral National Seashore.

Oh, we can sit on our rooftop deck and watch the rocket launches too!

We rent it out to vacationers about 18-22 weeks a year, which mostly covers the cash flow. We get to use it only 3-4 weeks a year, at least until our kids graduate from high school in 7 years...

NSB is a wonderful, low key, low density surfer/artist town worth checking out.
