Floral City Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Floral City is a charming small town with a population of around 5,000, located in Citrus County in the north-central Gulf Coast region, just seven miles south of Inverness. It is near the Withlacoochee River and Tsala Apopka Lake, in a relaxed, natural area of towering cypress trees and moss-covered oaks and small towns that still recall the days of “Old Florida.” This is a different look at Florida, away from the crowds and busy resorts. Many call this area “Mother Nature’s Theme Park,” where you’ll find abundant springs, lakes and rivers, historical sites and lush parks. Recreational activities in the area include fishing and boating, wildlife viewing and bird watching, and over 42 miles of paved trails are available for hiking, biking and inline skating on the Withlacoochee State Trail (which is part of the “Rails to Trails” path.) Floral City is home to an annual Strawberry Festival, usually held in March. This old-fashioned festival promises to be a fun time for all, with two days of arts and crafts, games, and delicious food, live entertainment, and special events like antique car shows and pony rides. The focus of the festival is, of course, strawberries – and you’ll find them in everything from shortcake to ice cream or covered in chocolate. Floral City is about one hour from Disney World and an hour and a half from Tampa.

Floral City Weather & Climate

The Central West Coast just northwest of Tampa Bay, enjoys a semi tropical climate with warm Gulf breezes and plenty of sunshine - 361 days of sun per year. Although thunderstorms are frequent in summertime, they are short in duration and the sun quickly reappears behind the clouds. However, hot temperatures, along with the rain and the Gulf of Mexico help contribute to high humidity levels during this time, as well. June through September receives the most rain, with the rest of the year being pretty dry by comparison. Many believe the most pleasant weather is found during the winter months between November and March when the humidity becomes more bearable and winds from the Bay and Gulf help moderate the temperatures.
