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 Josh
Dear Cypress Cove Family,
My name is Josh, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a lot of hope. This past year has been incredibly challenging for my family. I lost my job a few months ago, and despite applying to everything I can and picking up small jobs here and there, it’s been a struggle to keep up with the bills.
I have two wonderful children, Sarah*, who’s 9, and Tommy*, who just turned 6. They’ve been so patient and understanding, but as Christmas approaches, I can see the hope in their eyes, and it breaks my heart knowing I might not be able to give them the holiday they deserve. They’ve already had to adjust to so much this year, and I just want them to feel the joy and magic of Christmas, even for a little while.
I’ve always tried to provide for my family on my own, but this year, I’ve realized that sometimes we all need a little help. When I heard about the Blessing of the Cove, I thought maybe, just maybe, this could be the answer to our prayers. Whether it’s gifts under the tree, a special meal, or just some support to help us get through this season, it would mean more than I can express. We've come to Cypress Cove several times as a family and we've always been welconed and felt like family.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I know there are many families who need help, and I’m grateful for the kindness and generosity of the community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for considering us.
Warm regards,
Josh
Dear Josh,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your story with us. We’re truly moved by your courage and resilience during such a challenging time. It’s clear how much your family means to you and how deeply you want to create a joyful holiday season for Sarah* and Tommy*.
At Cypress Cove, we believe in supporting one another, especially when times are tough. Through our Blessing of the Cove program, we’re honored to help bring some holiday magic to your family. We’ll be sending you a Publix gift card to ensure you can enjoy a special holiday meal together, a Lowe’s gift card to help decorate your home and fill it with the spirit of Christmas, and a couple of Amazon gift cards so you can find the perfect gifts for Sarah and Tommy.
We hope this support brings a little light to your family and reminds you that you’re not alone. You’ll always have a place in our Cypress Cove family, and we’re here to help whenever you need it.
Wishing you and your family a joyful and magical holiday season filled with love and hope.
Warmest regards,
Cypress Cove Resort
