I'm with Jeff on this one. If there's heat gain from south-facing windows and you can't wait 10 years for that tree to grow, I'd consider an outdoor shading system like an awning or ext. window shades. It's easier to control interior temperatures if the heat gain is reduced as much as possible, preferably from the outside.

That's heat. Humidity is related, but the only way to reduce humidity levels is by treating with conditioned air, A/C. A small window-mount A/C unit in an equally small room to habitate during the more brutal hours of the day might be the answer. That or plan frequent visits to the local movie theater, mall or frozen food section at the local grocery.

How bad can it be at the beach you lucky bastard. :)
