Very Few Florida homes Have Fireplaces

We have lived in Central Florida for 10 years.  During that time we have owned 5 homes and none of them have had fireplaces.  I understand that Florida is warm but we do have some pretty cold nights during the winter months and I would love to have a cosy fireplace to curl up next to.  Now we are building a home and you can bet this on is going to have one with a big hearth.  I have always loved having a fire going on a cold night and now I will be able to have one for the first time in over 10 years!
