I'm looking at Ashville, NC at my retirment destination. It's got a gorgeous back drop in the mountains off the Blue Ridge Parkway and is reasonable distance to Raleigh, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte, Hilton Head, Atlanta, Knoxville, Spartanburg/Greenville, Columbia, Athens, Savannah, etc.

Been there 3x already. For us hiking, scuba diving, kayakin, boating, fishing, tennis, and spring weather all year are our motivation.

One of my tennis buddies has a vacation home in the mountains of nc. Were also talking about trying lake tahoe or Denver as we wouldn't have to sell our cars.

I didn't say it wasn't nice, I just said there isn't much there. It's a great place to visit, spend a long weekend anchored in the cove there. I'm just not sure living there year round is all it's cracked up to be. I've known people who lived there, they damn near went stir crazy.

The wife is now leaning heavily towards Napa, she's found a very nice long term rental.
We are looking also at a three story 1,700 ft 2&2 on a postage stamp lot for about what we paid here, and it sold for double that price in 2005. I'm not giving up on convincing her on Catalina, but she's thinking along Normans line. We hear people talk about wanting to get off the rock while there. lol
