If you really want to be sure of beach time I wouldn't go all the way to Miami - Palm Beach and Lauderdale are closer and easier to get to, IMHO. You might also think about taking a Southwest hop from MCO to FLL to cut out the drive, but the total time required (including check-in, security, etc.) will probably be close to a wash.
Be forwarned that a number of hotels in Daytona are still closed because of all the hurricanes this past summer. And some of those that are still open are still having work done on them and might not be up to speed yet.
