EGDR,
You'll be spoilt for choice. Get the little green book (i forget what its called but you'll find it in any FBO) with all the airport info in it and check out the facilities section...that'll tell you a lot, try and get a place with a large pilot shop on site as they have some great deals.
Some ones i'd recommend would be Occala(quiet enough, beautiful location and stinks of money), merrit island, west palm beach, clearwater, zephyr hills(purely for the girls in the fbo ) and of course you have to do the Shuttle tour, you wont be allowed land but you can do a direct approach to the shuttle landing runway down to 500 feet....excellent.
Have a great time over there and watch out for the military airspace..fecking Apache gunships.

P.S. FBO stands for Fixed Base Operator - the people who look after the airport essentially, they usually have a little premises somewhere on the field
