Hilton Head is still very much in play, but it may be a little too close to my wife's family in Charleston. There is a risk of unwanted guests.  Also, I've gotten close to my 3 year-old grandson here in Ventura and my daughter is now pregnant with twins. Hilton Head is quite a ways from an airport and no direct or cheap flights to LAX from Charleston or Savannah. Easier/cheaper to see the grandkids from Tampa, and a house with a dock and boat is more likely to bring them to me for vacations.
My retirement hobbies are golf and fishing. Hilton Head is great for golf, but one injury can end that. The fishing is WAY better on the golf coast of Fl, and I can get a house with a dock there in my price range. Hilton Head dock homes are getting pricey.

You might really enjoy it down there if you can hack the climate. I went to Clearwater/St.Pete in HS in the late '70s for a couple weeks, the gulf was very warm and clean and I remember the intense sunshine in May. You have the right hobbies for the area, though.
