Looks like this. The valve part is set back so the water cuts off inside your house. So there is less chance it will freeze.

You may not need a frost free in FL, but you should install one with an integral vacuum breaker (anti-siphon). This prevents water from the hose being siphoned back into your potable water system. Anymore, hose bibbs with a vacuum breaker are required by code, and most of them just happen to also be frost free (meaning the actual valve is housed at the back of the fixture, which would place it inside the conditioned space of the house instead of outside at the point of use).
This is what you want. If you scroll down and look at "People also bought..." you'll see a SharkBite FIP. Get that, as well. Cut your pipe back inside the house to where it needs to be using a tubing cutter (NOT a hacksaw... you need a clean cut), pop the SharkBite FIP on, and screw the new sillcock into it (with a couple wraps of tape). The SharkBite can rotate on the pipe, so the orientation of your new hose bibb is whatever you want it to be; just screw it onto the house when it's pointing the right way.
