A New Season Weeki Wachee Rental

🐻🌿 A little bear awareness for our Weeki Wachee vacationers…

Recent bear sightings are a reminder that we share this beautiful area with wildlife whose home extends well beyond the boundaries of our preserves.

Extreme rainfall can flood low-lying habitat, change access to food and shelter, and push wildlife toward higher, drier ground—including land where we’ve built our homes. That may be contributing to the bears we’re seeing, although rainfall alone hasn’t been confirmed as the cause. Bears also roam in search of food, and accessible garbage or pet food can encourage them to linger.

The land we occupy is part of their habitat, too. Sharing it responsibly means showing compassion and keeping a safe distance.

If you encounter a bear:
🐾 Give it plenty of space. Never feed it or attempt to approach it.

Help prevent repeat visits by securing garbage, bringing pet food indoors, removing bird feeders when bears are nearby, and cleaning grills.

If a bear threatens people or pets, or causes property damage, contact FWC at 888-404-3922. For an immediate emergency, call 911.

We can appreciate our wild neighbors without inviting them to dinner. Give them space, keep food secured, and help keep Weeki Wachee safe for everyone.

Florida love bugs have arrived, and apparently they’re celebrating their honeymoon at our place. 💕

You may spot these little sweethearts drifting through the air in pairs, completely devoted to each other and blissfully unaware of personal space. They don’t bite or sting; they’re just here for a short visit and a whole lot of romance.

When is lovebug season in Florida? Florida generally sees two lovebug seasons each year: one in April and May, and another in August and September, though exact timing shifts slightly year to year based on weather.

Do lovebugs bite or sting? No. Lovebugs don’t bite, sting, or carry disease. Their main impact is nuisance swarming and the mess they leave on cars, not any health risk. They are part of the fly species.

Does spraying insecticide get rid of lovebugs? Not effectively. Sprays only kill the lovebugs present at the moment of application, and more fly in from surrounding areas right away, so most pest experts recommend physical prevention (fans, cleanup, timing) over chemical treatment for this particular pest.

Why do lovebugs like cars so much? It’s not the cars specifically. Lovebugs are drawn to warmth, certain exhaust compounds, and light-colored surfaces, and their mating swarms happen to cluster at the same low height as passing vehicles, especially along highways.

How long does lovebug season last? Each swarm period generally runs a few weeks, since individual adult lovebugs only live a few days, but new adults continue emerging throughout the season, so the nuisance can feel constant even though no single bug survives long.
