Leesburg Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Leesburg is a small town set between three picturesque lakes in the heart of the Florida peninsula. Located in Lake County, approximately an hour northeast of Orlando, Leesburg sits on the Lake Wales Ridge, a range of hills that run north and south. The Harris Chain of Lakes, which includes Lake Harris, Little Lake Harris, Eustis, Dora and Griffin are located at Leesburg and provide great opportunities for swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking, horseback riding and camping. Many consider Lake Harris to be one of the most beautiful in the state, and, with an average depth of fourteen feet, bass and pan fishing are both very good. Lake County is also a mecca for quality golf courses. There are many public, private and semi-private courses scattered throughout the county. Leesburg is a “Florida Main Street City,” with a newly renovated and revitalized downtown. Each spring, the town holds an Arts Festival and a Mardi Gras Festival and Parade. Their Fourth of July Celebration with fireworks over Lake Harris is not to be missed. In the fall, Octoberfest and Trick-or-Treat on Main Street are also popular special events.

Leesburg Weather & Climate

Central Florida, surrounding the Orlando area, is situated 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 75 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. One of the region's main attractions is the near perfect year-round weather. Mid-Florida's subtropical climate is warm and humid during the summertime with almost daily thundershowers. However, these storms are scattered and generally pass quickly and the sunshine soon returns. Average annual rainfall is over 50 inches per year, keeping Central Florida lush and green all year long. The average elevation of this area is 127 feet above sea level and prevailing winds are southerly at nine mph. Winters in Central Florida are delightful, with warm days and mild evenings, much less humidity than summer and lots of sunshine.
