To each his own. I've been in Florida most of my life and except for my first home in Miami all I've had is tile.......except for now here. I hated how tile would chip if something dropped on it, and especially how dirty the grout got in traffic areas. My last home in Boca Raton was to cost $1000 to restore the grout and it probably wouldn't have stayed clean for more than a year or two. I'll take the softness and warmth of carpet anyday. If you are new to Fla. and this is all new to you then you'll probably like tile. As they say......You pays your money and takes your choice.
