Agreed that there are nice places, but the east coast does not benefit from Gulf effect warmth either. My family (grandparents) would go down to the east coast every year until they bought a time share on the west coast IN Ft. Meyers. They never went back to the east coast and never wanted to as far as weather goes. Plus being close to other teams is nice. Just to play the Sox, Rays, and Yanks would up ticket revenue.
i've been fortunate enough to see a great deal of Florida (except Naples and Key West). My absolute favorite spots are Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel, but Amelia Island was really nice too. I was there last August and the heat wasn't unbearable. Least favorite is without a doubt, Orlando.
