I’m 150 miles off the coast but “easy access to water and a dock” anywhere around the coast makes you vulnerable to hurricanes. If there’s a hurricane, depending on where the eye goes, the bays and inlets can be as bad as the actual coast for storm surge. Around Gulfport qnd Biloxi, you don’t want to be south of the railroad track (berm). Katrina just about wiped out everything between the RR berm and the beach. My son helped salvage some stuff from a branch of USM and he said there was NOTHING left below the third floor. Camille did pretty much the same thing in ‘69.
Low cost of living, lots of house for your money. Any retirement pay is not taxed by the state, ie, military retirement, teacher’s retirement, etc. That doesn’t include SS.
