Given our limited budget, we're thinking some kind of time-share would be best but the mere thought of a time-share gives us the willies, with all the negative things we're heard.
Thoughts?

We're probably retiring within the next 5 years and are thinking about investing in a place in which we could spend a month or two each winter. Our problem, as ever, is limited funds. And mrs. bman wants to be beside or VERY near the beach, while I want the same, but substituting "wine store" for "beach". If one was ever to jump into Florida real estate, some time over the next year would seem to be the time.

We actually spent a few days on Hollywood Beach a few years back - if we wanted to see Quebec TV and eat poutine, we'd just stay in Ottawa

Over the next 30-40 years Orlando and Tampa are going to grow together into a large Orlampa metro area with upwards of 20 million people in it. That's as many people as in the whole state right now. Great place to own a rental but I'd never live there.
JAX is not well run as a city. Too far north. I also would avoid Tampa and Orlando. Places are tourist crazy, and quite crowded. Move to Ocala. More open
If I were you, I would choose a warm place near the sea. Also it should be calm there as you are going to rest there. In case someone can't choose a proper house/apartment, I can suggest visitng fodyo.com. This marketplace has a great database with information about real estate all over the world. It is possible to look for a property using a map or exact address. Maybe this info will be useful for someone.
