Santa Rosa Beach is a slice of heaven.

Santa Rosa Beach is a great place to live. Weather-wise it's really two-seasons only. It will go below 50 or 60 degrees in November through March. Then things start warming up quickly. It's peaceful yet lively when it needs to be, all along 30A there are all sorts of interesting shops and restaurants.
The schools both public and private are some of the best Florida has to offer. Class size is relatively small in the public schools and very small in some of the private. Like most beach towns the closer you are to the beach the more expensive housing can be, but otherwise, the cost of living is reasonable.
You will need a car or mode of transportation since there is no public transportation. Of course, in the various communities, bicycles or walking will do. Job wise this area would be a good place for entrepreneurs, service providers, hospitality industry, professionals, construction, and artisans. There is very little "manufacturing" industry here, only small scale specialized opportunities. Also, there are very few public or government job opportunities. Keep in mind the population is small, and the crime rate is very low.
It really is a wonderful place.
