Curious. Where could one find in the continental US a beach or lake life (clear/blue water only) that doesnt get super hot with high humidity? Humidity is the killer factor...
 
Lake Tahoe, CA/NV, But it depends on what you call high heat, humidity, Are we talking about a place to live, or a place to visit? If just visiting, the target dates would make a difference.
 
The wife is interested in a change of scenery in the next couple years.

Places like Florida, Georgia and SC are "satan's armpit" in her terms. We strongly considered a move to Oahu a year ago.

She is open to purchasing a luxury pull behind and doing many different places. Otherwise looking into one of this simple cabin kit homes and creating a frugal "base of operations" which would enable us to leave and live in UK for a year if we wanted to. For example. She wants travel to be a better option as both our jobs we can do from anywhere with a computer and cable internet connection.

She also loves snow and winter, but the past 100 or so conversations have been themed "when we moving to the beach"? Lol so maybe beach life first and then mountain life again. Who knows.

The only certainty known at this point is that her blue blood is extremely sensitive to humidity (can't breathe?) and sweat. Haha
 
@ckruzer have you guys ever been to Hawaii? I worked on Oahu in 2012 and it is beautiful but it starts sucking after about 10-14 days when the new wears off. It is extremely overcrowded and over priced I.E. 2 BR condo in Waikiki with utilities included in 2012 ran me $7k a month. Traffic in Honolulu is some of the worst in the country due to overcrowding and 20+ years behind design.

If I was moving to Hawaii it would be to Maui, Big Island or Kauai as they are beautiful and not nearly as crowded. You will pay a premium for foods and goods that are not grown or sourced on the islands. Plan on 40%+ more for groceries and such. Also have to consider vehicles whether you ship yours over at the tune of $2k+ each or pay the island premium to purchase there.
 
I haven't been there in a very long time (Over 20 years), But I was stationed in Sacramento California for 4 years, and you could get to Lake Tahoe or the Pacific ocean in under 2 hours, I think Northern California, or Southern Oregon might be worth a look if you can stand living on the left coast for a bit, you'd have relatively easy access to all the check boxes on your current list
 
since you didn't actually state ocean beach, lake superior in upper michigan. low population density and absolutely beautiful scenery but a little chilly in the winter.
 
X2 on Tahoe. The s.beach California side is where to go.
Mid July heat at shore feels like a breezy 70 here, and at the top of Mt Tallac ~10k ft feels like a windy 55 here. Perfect.
 
I had an engineer that worked for me decide that he was going to retire and live on an island. He researched the heck out of it, weather, exchange rate, crime, cost of living, medical care, etc and took some trips to several places to check them out. He ultimately moved to Trinidad/Tobagos.
 
Little slice of blue water heaven just across the river from where my wife grew up.....I bet you could even get some land pretty cheap....:D

Flathead lake in NW Montana, it's the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Low humidity and gets plenty of snow in the winter. Lots of hiking and camping opportunities during the summer, two ski resorts within 45 minutes for your winter entertainment. It's a beautiful area.

Torch Lake, MI

Grew up 5 minutes from Torch lake, Elk Lake and the Grand Traverse Bays in a small town called Elk Rapids. I loved it up there and seasonal weather is awesome year around. Property values are fair if you find the right spot. Oh, and the wheeling/ camping isn't too bad either.
