I live in Weeki Wachee, which is about an hour North of Tampa. Tampa itself has awful cuisine (so if you're a foodie, stay away).
St. Petersburg is a great city, and is a short drive from Tampa, if you base out of there. Lots of places to ride a Segway, go for a run, or relax by the water.
The people here are mind-numbingly stupid, but they're also often nice and genuine. Expect a lot of right-wingers to be talking about Jesus. As an Atheist, it's annoying, but not a deal-breaker.
