In a world filled with busy schedules, endless notifications, and constant distractions, it can be difficult to find quality time to simply be together. Summer Family Weekend at Cypress Cove is a chance to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful memories with the people who matter most.
Whether your family includes parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, siblings, chosen family, lifelong friends, or multiple generations gathered together, families come in many forms. What they all share is the desire to laugh, connect, and spend time with one another.
Throughout the weekend, you'll find opportunities for all ages to join in the fun, enjoy friendly competition, and experience the unique sense of community that makes Cypress Cove so special. From poolside activities to evening entertainment, Summer Family Weekend is designed to bring people together and remind us that some of life's best moments happen when we're fully present with one another.
So gather your loved ones, make new friends, and celebrate the joy of family however you define it. We can't wait to welcome you for a weekend filled with fun, connection, and memories that will last long after summer ends.

As we celebrate this month’s beautiful Yard of the Month winners, we also wrap up our Yard of the Month program for the season. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and helped make our community so vibrant, welcoming, and uniquely Cypress Cove.
From creative landscaping touches to relaxing outdoor retreats, each yard added something special to the atmosphere we all enjoy. We appreciate the pride, effort, and personality that our residents bring to their spaces throughout the year.
Yard of the Month will return in March of next year, and we can’t wait to see the creativity bloom again. Until then, enjoy the season. Thank you for helping make Cypress Cove feel like home.

Do You Have Your Flamingos?
If you’ve noticed flocks of flamingos popping up around Cypress Cove at campsites, villas, and by the pool, you’re witnessing the beginning of something truly meaningful. These pink ambassadors are part of the Flamingo Adoption Program, a fun and heartfelt charity effort led by seasonal residents Ric & Laurel in support of the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
This beloved summer tradition also marks the kickoff of the 21st Annual Cypress Cove Parrothead Breast Cancer Fundraiser. When you adopt a flamingo (or an entire flamboyance!), 100% of your donation goes directly to the cause, and you’ll receive raffle tickets for incredible Parrothead Weekend prizes.
Parrothead Raffle prizes may include:
• Artwork
• Cypress Cove Villa stays
• Grills
• Bicycles
• TVs
• Top-shelf liquor baskets
• And much, much more!
Even better, you do not need to be present to win. In mid-July, participants will receive a link to preview the prizes and select which raffle tubs they’d like their tickets placed into.
While adopting your flamingos, be sure to ask about the Islandfest Raffle, a separate fundraiser featuring prizes designed to make your Parrothead Weekend even more enjoyable.
Islandfest Raffle prizes include:
• Reserved parking spots (trust us, these become gold during Parrothead Weekend!)
• Coolers packed with event goodies
• Use of a pink sunshade tent in a prime poolside location for the entire weekend
Islandfest Raffle Tickets will also be available for purchase on Friday, July 17th, with the drawing happening Saturday, July 18th.
And this year, Team Cypress Cove Parrotheads is celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary with something extra special!
Only 24 Patriotic Fun Bags have been created and 11 are already gone. For a $100 donation to the 21st Annual Cypress Cove Parrothead Breast Cancer Fundraiser, one of these limited-edition bags can be yours.
Each Patriotic Fun Bag includes:
• Assorted America 250th anniversary memorabilia
• 150 raffle tickets for the Parrothead Weekend raffle
These exclusive bags are going quickly, so reserve yours soon!
To reserve a Patriotic Fun Bag or adopt your flamingos, contact Laurel by:
• Facebook
• Email: StrideWithLaurel@gmail.com
• Text: 407-922-7004
• Visiting the pool to find Ric & Laurel with their wagon full of flamingos awaiting adoption
