What do you mean by bottom ventilation. I do have cross ventilation at the top.Hi, fellow central Floridian!
Our cold snaps are such silly, weak things you don't have to worry. The birds love it.
Humidity being so high year-round means sealing that wood with paint or sealant is really important. We've had some unpainted boards rot when we thought we could get away with it.
You've got good upper ventilation to let the heat out, but I don't see lower ventilation to let the cool air flow in. A chimney effect is the goal.
Even though you have those sea breezes, Florida is way too hot for closed in coops.
At the least I would change that access door to be HW Cloth instead of solid. Unless you have a big window not pictured on the other side, and even then...
Experience with birds during scorching summers makes me want to see every coop be an open-air coop.
