It can vary, but the general rule is May through September is 100% off season.

Easter ends our busy season typically, and it starts after Thanksgiving...

Is there a sweet spot where it's not too hot but still in the off season period?

Not really. Its like saying is there a time in winter in Michigan where its not too cold.
The summer months are going to be warm. Its the beach though. Its supposed to be warm. Nice breeze from the gulf and its great.

May is hit or miss. After that it's going to be hot.

Will all the snowbirds be gone?

Jrod,
Based on where you are going to be staying, you wont really have to encounter too many snowbirds in that area. Moving west towards the beach there are some obviously, but most are gone by then.

You would be hard pressed to find more beautiful beaches in FL than in Destin. Golf, restaurants and shopping are plentiful as well. There is actually a fairly active airport between Niceville and Ft. Walton Beach that would cut the commute time down from flying into Pensacola or Panama City.

I don't know if you remember or not, but at the Saturday dinner in Indy I went down with double leg cramps. Unfortunately that happens to me a lot no matter how much I hydrate. I suffered a minor heat stroke in 2001 and ever since then have always struggled in heat, especially when it's humid. More than anything, that question was to give me away to mentally prepare for what to expect when we do go down there.

Mr. Inconsistent
The in-laws are throwing around the idea of a vacation rental on the Florida gulf coast for a couple weeks early 2016.
My FIL is an avid golfer and we'll probably join them for up to a week at some point.
Any suggestions?

Gulf coast is a pretty big region, we talking panhandle or on the peninsula?

The farther south the better to me that time of year. I would look no further north than the Pinellas area (Clearwater, St Pete Beach and others), but that time of year I would say ft Myers to Naples might be a good idea. All of the Gulf Coast is beautiful, and I love the panhandle, but your best chance of warm weather is south.

What wake said, Clearwater south to Marco, lots of hidden little gems in between. Depending on the activities everybody wants to do. Bonita Beach/Springs is a nice middle area if you want to be able to travel North or South for day trips.
Add a nod for Crystal River as well if you stay farther North.

I would say Sarasota hands down but our favorite bed and breakfast closed last spring. Now I'm biased against Sarasota lol. Do miss steaks and mixed drinks from Hyde Park though.
