The Texas coast is nice. Consider Port Aransas, just off Corpus Christi. Kinda quiet there, but CC is right down the road about 20 miles, and there's a lot of stuff to do in the little artsy hamlets up the coast form Port Aransas and the surrounding area.

I forgot about Texas. I'm kind of partial to South Padre Island, its a great spot, but even texas can get a little chilly in Jan, but the beach combing on SPI is great this time of year.
- quiet and restful, a studio/condo being prefrable to a hotel
- beaches or outdoor pools available for swimming
- ocean beaches, preferably with shade, for strolling
Well... my parents have an old trailer house at Lake Kemp, down by Seymour, TX. Plenty of fresh air (unless the guys two cabins down go too heavy on the beer and brats). Quiet and secluded. The folks in the next cabin over even started pulling their shades down before they.. um... 'exercised' (he's about 300 pounds on a good day and she outweighs him by a good 30 or 40). And there's miles of beach to walk on - all you have to do is dodge the rattlesnakes, scorpions, and occasional wild hog.
I'm sure the rent would be very resonable.
