Tokens of Appreciation for Our Wonderful Staff
Each year, as the holiday season arrives, our front desk transforms into a heartwarming display of gratitude, filled with gifts thoughtfully given by our wonderful members, guests, and residents—a beautiful tradition that reflects your appreciation for our dedicated staff! The highlight of this season is our annual holiday party, where the grand unveiling of these gifts takes center stage, a moment our staff eagerly anticipates.
This year, employees will gather for a memorable celebration on December 11th at Lakeside restaurant, a perfect setting to share in the holiday spirit and exchange gifts, along with some special Cove treats. For those here at Cypress Cove, our front office is delighted to accept your tokens of appreciation, and we encourage you to include a personal note for the recipient. This tradition complements the annual bonuses Cypress Cove provides to our amazing staff, giving you a chance to show your gratitude to those who go above and beyond to make your visits special. Please make sure to have your gift delivered by December 9th, so we can ensure each employee is recognized by our amazing community.
For those unable to join us in person, we’ve made it easy to participate through our online store, where you can select a gift, and we’ll handle the rest.
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the kindness and generosity you have shown my team over the years. The Cypress Cove family truly shines with warmth and appreciation, making this community one of a kind.

Blessings of the Cove
As we approach the close of another year and enter the season of gratitude and giving, Cypress Cove is pleased to re-introduce a cherished tradition: the “Blessings of The Cove.” This holiday initiative is dedicated to supporting those in our nudist family facing the greatest needs during these challenging times.
Through the end of the year, Cypress Cove residents and members are invited to reach out and share how we can best support you. If you’re in need, please write to us and let us know what would bring the most relief or joy to your holiday season. Each week, we’ll select a letter and respond with assistance. You can either drop off a letter at the Main Office, addressed to me, Peter Sewall, or email me at Peter@cypresscoveresort.com.
Cypress Cove has a rich history of community support, driven by our naturist members who have fueled our growth and success over the years. This season, our focus is on those “inside the gate,” as we aim to brighten the holidays for our own members. We know it can be difficult to ask for help, but please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have an exceptional need.
For those who are not in need, we invite you to extend your support to your friends and neighbors in the spirit of generosity that defines our community. If you'd like to contribute directly to the “Blessings of The Cove” program, please follow this link and select the Blessings of The Cove Donation option that resonates. Together, let’s ensure the blessings of this season reach every corner of our incredible community.
With thanks and gratitude,
Peter Sewall

Blessing of the Cove Recipient
Earlier this week Cypress Cove received this letter from Timothy
Dear Cypress Cove Family,
I’m reaching out regarding the Blessings of the Cove and am hoping you can offer some guidance on how it works. I’d like to keep most of this anonymous, but I wanted to share a bit of my personal journey and where I’m at right now.
I’ve been a proud member of Cypress Cove for many years, and it’s a place that has truly become like a second home to me. I believe strongly in its mission, and I’ve had the privilege of sharing it with many friends and family over the years.
Unfortunately, after a recent career change, my family has found itself in a difficult financial situation. I took a job that I felt passionate about and truly believed in, but it came with a significant pay cut. My wife has been out of work for over a year due to pregnancy complications and health issues, which has added to our struggles. Between medical bills, taking time off to care for my family, and an overall drop in household income, things have gotten incredibly tight. We were unable to pay our mortgage this month, and we've had to rely on the food pantry at our church just to get by. On top of that, our credit card debt has been increasing, and we're now in the process of selling our home and downsizing to an apartment. Even then, expenses will remain a challenge.
We have two young children at home, and it’s been really hard to balance trying to provide for them while dealing with everything going on. I’m doing everything I can to support my family, but it’s been a tough season, and I know I’m not alone in facing challenges like this.
With all that said, any help would be an incredible blessing as we navigate through this time.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your understanding and any guidance you can provide would mean a great deal to me and my family.
Thank you,
Timothy
Dear Timothy,
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt story with us. We are truly honored to have you as part of the Cypress Cove family, and your strength and resilience during such a difficult time are deeply inspiring.
We want to do something special for you and your family. To bring a little extra joy to your holiday season, we’ll be providing you and your wife each with a gift card so you can choose something meaningful for one another. In addition, we’d like to give you a Publix gift card to help replenish your pantry and ease some of the burdens you’re carrying.
We also want to invite you and your wife to enjoy a special evening at Lakeside Restaurant—just the two of you. Take the day off, relax, and let us treat you to a lovely dinner. This evening is completely on us, and we hope it gives you both a moment to unwind and reconnect.
Please know that we are here for you and that our thoughts are with you during this challenging time.
Warm wishes,
Cypress Cove Resort

Have You Seen Us Lately?
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
You don't have to put on clothes to do your holiday shopping. We got lots of great gifts right here at the Cove.
There are a lot of great gifts available at Nature Hair and gift cards too.
It is hard to leave the Fig Leaf Boutique without buying some of their wonderful shirts, hats, clothing, sunglasses and hundreds of other items.
A massage gift certificate for the Spa Oasis would make a great gift. I know I would like one.
Dinner and dancing on Saturday night at Lakeside Restaurant.
This is what a December afternoon looks like at Cypress Cove. Living in Paradise.
