About this property

Cozy Lakeside Retreat with Water Views — Peaceful 2BR Top-Floor Cottage

Welcome to Whispering Waters Cottage, a peaceful top-floor retreat overlooking a quiet lake-connected channel in Lake Wales, Florida. This cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment offers a relaxing natural setting with calming water views, abundant wildlife, and a comfortable interior designed for restful getaways.

Inside, the cottage features two queen beds and one full bed, a fully stocked kitchen, and a welcoming living space that opens to a screened-in patio. The patio is a guest favorite, offering a quiet spot to enjoy morning coffee, birdwatching, or the gentle breeze off the water.

The home sits on a quiet residential street and overlooks a calm water channel that connects to the lake. Guests are welcome to fish, bring their own kayaks, or bring a boat. The property offers space to park a boat or trailer during your stay. Please note that equipment is not provided, and swimming is not permitted in the channel.

Other conveniences include contactless smart-lock entry, driveway parking for two vehicles with additional room for boat parking, street parking if needed, central air conditioning, reliable Wi-Fi, and easy access to Lake Wales dining, shopping, and local attractions. A car is required for getting around the area.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape, a peaceful place to work remotely, or a comfortable base for exploring Central Florida, Whispering Waters Cottage offers a quiet and calming lakeside setting perfect for your stay.
Check-in is after 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible depending on availability. Only registered guests are allowed on the property, and the home may not be used for parties, events, or gatherings. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, so guests must maintain quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM and be respectful of neighbors at all times.

Smoking and vaping are permitted outdoors and on the screened patio. Guests must dispose of all smoking materials properly and be mindful of open doors and windows to prevent smoke from entering the home. Smoking is not allowed inside the house.

The unit is located on the top floor and is accessed by a staircase. Children must be supervised at all times, especially near the water. The water behind the home is a lake-connected channel. Swimming is allowed at guests’ own risk. Guests may fish, bring their own kayaks, or use motorized watercraft, but equipment is not provided and all water activity is at your own risk.

Parking is available in the driveway for up to two vehicles, and street parking is also permitted. Guests are expected to keep the kitchen tidy, wash used dishes before checking out, and dispose of trash in the proper bins. Food should not be left unattended outdoors, as the area has wildlife including birds and insects.

Because the home is near water and surrounded by nature, guests may encounter insects or wildlife. Doors should be kept closed to prevent pests from entering the home, and guests should never feed wildlife.

Please treat the property with care and report any damage or maintenance needs as soon as possible so they can be addressed promptly. By booking, guests agree to follow all house rules, local laws, and platform policies.
