Make the Most of Labor Day Weekend at the Cove!
Labor Day Weekend is almost here, and we’re ready to send summer off the Cypress Cove way with good friends, plenty of fun, and a long weekend made for enjoying every minute.
We’ve packed the weekend with plenty to do, whether you’re looking forward to relaxing poolside, joining in the games and entertainment, dancing the night away, or simply catching up with Cove friends you haven’t seen in a while. Check out the accompanying flyer for the full lineup and start planning your weekend!
Two events you’ll definitely want on your radar are the 13th Annual Labor Day 5K on Saturday, September 5, and the Labor Day Pickleball Tournament on Monday, September 7. Whether you’re running, walking, playing, cheering from the sidelines, or happily doing none of the above, they’re always a fun part of the holiday weekend.
And while you’re making plans, don’t forget to leave a little time for yourself! Spa Oasis is the perfect addition to a long weekend at the Cove. Treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation and make the holiday weekend feel like a true getaway. Appointments can fill up quickly on busy weekends, so book yours early by calling 407-319-8728.
Remember, Labor Day is a three-day weekend, so there’s no need to rush home Sunday. Stick around, enjoy that extra day at the Cove, and squeeze every last drop out of summer.
Gather your Cove crew and get ready for a Labor Day Weekend full of familiar faces, friendly competition, great entertainment, relaxation, and plenty of reasons to stay just a little longer.
MOSQUITO & DENGUE PREVENTION REMINDER
Osceola County Mosquito Control and the Florida Department of Health continue to monitor mosquito-borne illnesses, including dengue – “DEN-gay”. While there are currently no Osceola County dengue-specific health alerts that we have identified, there are 40 confirmed cases in neighboring counties to the west, in Hillsborough and Pasco.
Cypress Cove residents, campers, and guests are encouraged to take precautions to reduce mosquito breeding and protect themselves from mosquito bites.
Please eliminate standing water around your home, including water collecting in flowerpots, buckets, tires, gutters, tarps, birdbaths, children's pools, and other containers. Even small amounts of standing water, like in a Bromeliad plant, can provide a breeding site for mosquitoes. The use of Mosquito Bits Larvae Control Granules is recommended for use in water-holding plants, which is plant and environmentally safe, but kills mosquito larvae.
When spending time outdoors, particularly around dusk and dawn, consider wearing long sleeves and pants and using an EPA-registered mosquito repellent containing DEET or picaridin, following the product's label directions. The County also recommends following the repellent label carefully and notes that some repellents aren't appropriate for young children.
Osceola County Mosquito Control will be spraying for mosquitoes throughout Cypress Cove this week.
Please, let’s all do our part to keep ourselves and our community as safe as possible.

1st Sunday Brunch at Lakeside
September brings a slower, more relaxed pace to the Cove and that makes them the perfect months to enjoy 1st Sunday Brunch at Lakeside Restaurant.

A Fresh New Look Is Coming to the Villas!
Plenty is happening behind the scenes at Cypress Cove! Our villa remodel is moving forward, bringing a fresh new look to both the interiors and exteriors of the buildings.
The updates will give the villas a more modern, welcoming feel while bringing them in line with the style of our previously renovated buildings. Villas 1 and 2 have been painted tropical colors of green and pink. Work will continue over the coming months, with completion anticipated in mid-to-late fall.
Speaking of those new colors, we thought we’d give our readers a chance to have a little fun with the renovation!
Want to win a 2026 Parrothead T-shirt?
Villa 3 hasn’t been painted yet, but we’ve already picked its new color! Think you can guess what it is? Be one of the first five people to email Newsletter@cypresscoveresort.com with the correct new color of Villa 3, and you’ll win a 2026 Parrothead T-shirt!
We appreciate everyone’s patience as the work continues. We’re excited to see these transformations come together, and we can’t wait to find out who can correctly guess Villa 3’s new look before the paint even goes on!
Baking for Boobies Celebrates 15 Sweet Years!
Get ready to indulge for a great cause! Baking for Boobies is celebrating its 15th annual fundraiser on Saturday, October 17, from 12:00 - 4:00 pm in the Gameroom, kicking off a very special week of fundraising at Cypress Cove leading into Nude-A-Palooza.
Cypress Cove’s very own Herman Galon spearheads this fundraiser every year, driven by his deep passion for supporting those affected by cancer. Once again, proceeds from the event will benefit Florida Cancer Specialists, and there are plenty of delicious and fun ways to show your support.
40 Cheesecakes. One Very Good Cause.
The star of the day is, of course, the cheesecake! Choose from an incredible 40 different varieties, available for $6 per slice. Whether you stick with an old favorite or make it your mission to sample something new, every slice helps support the cause.
But cheesecake isn't the only treat on the menu! Baking for Boobies is a full bake sale, with a variety of homemade goodies available for purchase, including cookies, muffins, and other baked treats. Come hungry and take a few extras home for later!
Want more than a slice? Eight whole cheesecakes will also be available to order for $72 each. With a limited number available, you'll want to get your order in early.
Raffles, Raffles & More Raffles!
Raffle tickets are just $1 each or 15 for $10, with a great selection of prizes up for grabs. Tickets may be purchased from Herman at Cheeks, Monday through Thursday.
The small raffle prizes will be drawn during the pool party on October 17, and you must be present to win. The Large Prize Packs will be drawn that evening at Lakeside, and you do not need to be present to win those.
Prizes you could take home include a sterling silver Cypress Cove pendant and necklace, a Nude-A-Palooza Prize Pack, a Deck Party Prize Pack, and more!
Who Are You Fighting For?
This year's fundraiser also gives you a special way to recognize someone who has been touched by cancer. For a donation, add an "I'm Fighting For: ______" dedication card to the Pink Tree. Write the name of someone you're honoring, remembering, or supporting and help fill the tree with a powerful visual reminder of why this fundraiser matters.
Make It a Week of Giving
Baking for Boobies takes place just one week before Nude-A-Palooza, making October a big month for coming together, having fun, and supporting an important cause.
Come hungry, grab some cheesecake and baked goodies, buy a few raffle tickets, add a dedication to the Pink Tree, and help us celebrate 15 years of Baking for Boobies. After all, supporting a great cause never tasted so sweet!
*Herman needs volunteers; please email Newsletter@cypresscoveresort.com to help on October 17th!
We Did It Again! Cypress Cove Named Best Kept Secret
We have some exciting news to share... Cypress Cove has been named Orlando Weekly’s Best Kept Secret for the second year in a row!
Winning once was an incredible honor. Winning again makes it even more meaningful, because this recognition came from the people who took the time to nominate us, vote for us, and show their support.
To everyone who cast a vote for Cypress Cove: thank you! We truly appreciate every nomination, every vote, and every person who encouraged a friend to show the Cove some love.
Of course, those of us who spend time here know the real secret isn’t simply the beautiful lake, the sunshine, or everything there is to do. It’s the people. It’s the friendships formed around the pool, familiar faces at events, conversations over dinner, and that unmistakable feeling of being somewhere you can relax and be yourself.
That’s what makes Cypress Cove special, and we’re incredibly grateful that so many of you think it’s worth celebrating.
Being named Best Kept Secret two years running does present us with one small problem, though…
We’re apparently getting pretty bad at keeping the secret.
Thank you to our members, residents, guests, friends, and everyone who voted. This one belongs to the entire Cove community.
Here’s to another year of being one of Central Florida’s favorite not-so-secret places!
A Message from the Mardi Gras King and Queen
Hear ye, Here ye, from your King and Queen of Mardi Gras 2026. We would like to recognize ACTS OF KINDNESS. If you do an act of kindness or one is done for you, we want to know about it. There is a velvet box on a table at the castle (Lot 526) for you to leave your messages, or you can tell us in person. You will receive a sticker (made by Brian) for your participation. Let’s all be kind to one another.
Have you booked your vacation at the Cove?
Whether you roll in with your RV, pitch a tent beneath the stars, or book a villa room, our park is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Wake up to birdsong, sip your morning coffee with lakeside views, and spend your evenings by the pool cooling off under a blanket of stars and warm summer breezes. Reserve your spot today and experience Cypress Cove the way it’s meant to be: peaceful, scenic, and refreshing!
