We have vinyl and are happy with it. You don't have to worry about the high winds that you do at the beach. We lived in Kitty hawk a couple of blocks from the beach and experienced many a nor'easter. We had vinyl there also and never had a problem with the siding. The winds in central Fl aren't near as bad. We even survived many a hurrican up there. The only problem you may have down here is a tornado (One went thru Feb 2, 2007) there was damage to vinyl as well as block homes. That's the only tornado that I have heard of in this area.
For maintance we wash it down twice a year, using a mixture of bleach/water in sprayer and our garden hose.
