Trying to dig a basement in most of Central & South Florida will only
get you wet.   Some places are less than three feet above the water
table.

I had similar cooling problems in an apartment I used to rent.  In
winter (yes, we have winter here, well, in North Florida, anyway), I
would have the window open, even when it was in the 30's outside.  Kept
the room comfortable.  In the summer, I had the window unit running 24x7
and the door closed.  The temp would vary from about 68 to 76 degrees F.
