That sounds like a good plan.  We live about 15 minutes from the beach, but not in an area prone to flooding.  

We haven’t had snow for the last 3 years.  The summer heat /humidity can get oppressive but as long as the power grid holds it’s OK.  All things considered it’s a good location. So far.

Would your main concern be hurricanes? 
 @754d2f63 
Yes, because of the potential damage from wind.  We live surrounded by trees.  Bad nor'easters are a threat as well.

Our house sits high enough that it would take a LOT of rain to flood us, although we could be cut off from major roads I suppose.  

It's hard to feel "weather secure" anywhere anymore. 
 @51fb1883 

You are so right about nowhere being weather secure! There is also fire risk everywhere. 
 @754d2f63 
Yes, you’re right about the fire danger. I’d forgotten about that.
