Summer Vacation Rental

I'm flying in Orlando in August to scope out a place to buy a vacation house. I want to become a much hated snowbird :) I will probably stay from Nov - April and then head back to Arkansas for the Summer.

I'm torn between Orlando and Tampa but everything I've read says I want to be in a suburb of Tampa.

I'm 30, single, no kids. I want to rent the house out during the summer months, so it needs to be some place attractive for tourists. I will be working from home, so job market and commute isn't an issue. I would prefer some place closer to the beach, but driving a bit is ok. Don't want to live in an old community.

My budget will be around 200k. Any advice?

If you want to rent the house during the summer you'll want to be in a tourist heavy area - the west side of st Pete or destin would be good for that.
