Do people cover windows in prep for hurricanes or is TV too far inland to worry about such things.

Lots of good comments and suggestions. You also might want to take a (sunny) day or so and drive around various parts of TV at different times of the day to see for yourself examples of east facing fronts, west facing lanais (and vice versa), factor in the effect of shade
trees, etc., mature landscaping versus new (barren) construction, etc. We wanted an east facing house with west facing back yard and lanai (with no neighbors) and shade trees in the back that lose leaves in winter and provide shade and protection in summer. We were lucky and found what we desired — all of the above and a house with a hip roof. And no “live oaks”, no palms, 3 chinese elms* in a row along the back that provide shade in summer. (*Fairly easy to maintain). Good luck. Pic shows house and roof structures for easy identification.
