Keystone Heights Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Keystone Heights
is located in the northeast region of Florida at the southern end of Clay County. It is one of the three largest towns in the county (with a population of only around 1,300,) and is a “commuters town,” with many of the residents commuting daily to work within a fifty-mile radius of the city. Numerous lakes and reservoirs dot this area, making it ideal for boating, fishing, swimming, picnicking and camping. Lake Geneva is located to the south of Keystone Heights and the Park of the Palms just north of the city. Clay County was once a popular destination for tourists visiting from the northern states, who came for the therapeutic, warm springs and mild climate. Today, it is much the same with visitors drawn to the area who are looking for the warmth and relaxing ambience it provides. With it’s central location, Keystone Heights makes a good alternative for those looking for a peaceful, less crowded place to stay while visiting the Jacksonville area. The stunning sand dunes of the Jacksonville area, as well as other attractions like the Jacksonville Maritime Museum, Fort George Island and the St. Johns River recreational area is an easy day trip from Keystone Heights.

Keystone Heights Weather & Climate
North Central Florida, in the Gainesville area, has hot and humid summers with frequent thunderstorms. The rainy season generally runs from May through November. Northern Florida receives approximately 60 percent of its rain during this period, although thunderstorms usually pass quickly and the sunshine returns. In winter, however, continental low-pressure systems can bring longer periods of cloudiness and rain to the area. As a peninsula, Florida receives breezes from both the Gulf and the Atlantic. During winter months, these breezes, plus prevailing winds from the north can make northern Florida somewhat cooler than the southern areas. In general, however, North Central Florida's semi-tropical winter climate can only be described as delightful.
