To be completely honest with you, it is a daunting task to even be able to write a review about our experiences at Cypress Cove that would do it justice. It is truly a wonderful property with fantastic amenities and is home to many delightful members and residents, as well as a charming and gracious team of employees. With all due respect to the other nudist resorts that we've been to, and in all fairness to those that we have not yet had the opportunity to visit, we feel confident in saying that Cypress Cove is THE gold standard for nudist resorts in the United States. If nothing else, it is certainly the first resort that comes to mind when people ask us about the social nude experience in the U.S. and what places we might recommend that they visit (either as a first-timer or a nude veteran). Cypress Cove has been family owned and operated for decades and it really shows. The Hadley family treats this property like any other serious hospitality endeavor in the textile world and employs a full host of professionals to oversee the day-to-day operations of the resort. This oversight includes hundreds of acres that are home to just about everything you could possibly need and more! One of the best features of the Cove is the 50-acre Brown Lake that has an amazing beachfront and multiple boat docks where one could lay out and enjoy the view (or even catch a rocket launch from the nearby Kennedy Space Center). There are also a plethora of honor-system rentals for paddle boats and boards for those looking for more adventure or exercise—just be mindful of any alligators! It is our understanding that the gators are generally relocated once they are large enough to pose a serious threat to humans, but please heed this warning and don't do anything stupid! In addition to the lake and beachfront area, there are plentiful sports courts for every court sport imaginable, as well as a golfing area! The main social hub of the resort centers around the primary pool and hot tub (yes, there are two pools AND two hot tubs!) where you can find Cheeks Bar & Grill that serves up delicious food and drinks around the clock. There is also a fully-equipped gym, children's playground, clubhouse, gift shop, hair salon, and massage parlor in this area. This is all in addition to the lobby office and gift shop that sells some pretty neat Cypress Cove merchandise alongside great nudist trinkets and snacks/beverages (they even sell small liquor bottles here if that's your thing). But that's not all! In addition to Cheeks for food & beverage (which we love by the way—you will usually find us eating 3 meals a day there if possible), there is the expansive Lakeside Restaurant (with a lake view, as the name suggests) and Scuttlehutts Bar for an alternative dining atmosphere and experience. Adjacent to Lakeside, you will also find another gem of the Cove: the American Nudist Research Library. Thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers over the years, the ANRL is one of the offic
