Sebring Lakefront Home - Lake Josephine 'Little Piece Of Heaven'

The Heart of Florida... Highlands County. Here in the center of the Sunshine State, you'll find crystal clear lakes for fishing, boating, skiing and sailing, and more than a dozen golf courses. Our gently rolling hills, orange groves and charming small towns make this a relaxing country getaway - and our central location provides easy access to Florida's best attractions without the hustle and high prices of the major tourist areas. It's the best of both worlds - within two hours of most major attractions yet removed enough for that get-away-from-it-all feeling. Come discover Highlands County for yourself!

This home is the perfect place to enjoy your vacation. This home is older but charming, it has tile floors throughout and is pet friendly. Located just 10 minutes from shopping, Highlands Hammock State Park, Florida hospital and numerous golf courses, Sebring International Raceway and other local activities.

Lakeside yard is graced by very tall oak trees displaying Spanish moss hanging from it's limbs. their shade, the pool and the breeze from the lake makes the back yard fresh in the heat of the summer. In the winter my favorite thing is to sit outside around our portable out door brick chimney and enjoy the skies full of stars.

Wild life watching in this property is a real treat, you can find a variety depending on the time of the year, owls, hawks, squirrels, turtles, cranes, wonderful Florida bird species.

Weekend getaway
This place was just as described. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We fished off the dock every day & when it got to hot we swam in the pool. The owner was very friendly & quickly responded to any questions we had. Will definitely stay here again.

Great cabin at the lake
The home is accurately described on the VRBO website. All equipment at the home, including the air conditioning system worked great. The fenced in yard was a bonus for our dog who traveled with us and the boat house was a prefect place to end the day. The neighborhood was quiet and very safe. The neighbors we met were friendly and made us feel part of the community. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Snowbird Getaway
We found the property to be better than pictured. It was a great location on the lake with a nice yard for our small dog. We were there for 2 months. The neighbors were friendly. Fredrika was easily accessible (only a text message away). Nice scenery and areas to walk. The house had most anything we needed and more. The pool was well kept and got warm enough to use in February. I would rent again.

Our recent stay
We stayed in the property two years ago and loved it. The view is beautiful and has a large acre fenced in yard for our dog. The downside this year was that in the second bathroom the owners removed the sink. This was a terrible inconvenience if you have guests staying with you or just visiting. The guests would have to use the kitchen sink or the other bathroom to wash their hands. Because of this we will not be staying here again.

Absolutely love this charming home. I was looking for a location that offered beauty, wildlife and peace and this met every requirement. Everything about it was just what I wanted and needed. Home is very charming and comfortable, pool was perfect, and the location on the lake was so tranquil. I didn't want to leave and will definitely stay here again. Freddie - I cannot thank you enough. It was perfect."

Great place for boating and kayaking!
Brought our kayaks and boat and enjoyed our stay. The pool was very welcome during the extreme heat we were experiencing in Florida during June. Because of the heat, the AC had a difficult time keeping it cool. The ceiling fans helped, though. Good variety of birds, good fishing, and fabulous sunsets!

Great Experience. Perfect view
It was our first time renting a house on VRBO. I already knew Lake Josephine had amazing views, I used to live on this lake when I resided in Highlands County. But, the pictures of this post does this rental no justice. It was perfect. Waking up in the morning to a bright view of the water/dock area due to all the windows. Eating breakfast at the nook next to a large window with the lake view. Afternoon swimming in the underground pool with the lake view, while my husband would cast his line. (We did not come down at the right time for fishing, but why not try.) The evening sunsets down at the dock with the lights and the hammock to relax. Just perfection. Best money we have ever spent on a vacation. The gate at the entrance of the property made me comfortable no one would just show up. The neighbors were super friendly. Also the house is huge. It was just the 2 of us, so we didn’t get to utilize all the space but again, the pictures just don’t do it justice. I fully recommend this rental. Peaceful, clean and just overall beautiful.

Sebring lakeside hideaway
Property location was nice quiet lakeside community. Spacious grounds with open outdoor pool/ patio area. Wonderful Views of Lake Josephine with spacious covered dock. Home is somewhat dated and does need some work . Classic 60’s florida ranch style home. Somewhat eclectic. . Overall home was clean, aplliances dated but functional . It was a great location to go back and forth to Sebring international Raceway . Would also be great for boater with plenty of space on property for boat and trailer for adjacent lakes and fishing. Would stay again.

Peaceful getaway
My family and I were in town for the state baseball tournament. We needed to book something last minute with enough room for our children and a pool for entertainment. The property owners made the whole process simple. The pictures do not do this home justice. It is beautiful, spacious and super clean. The bunk room was perfect for our children. Even though we were in town for baseball many memories were made with my family here.

What a great time! If you just want to relax and chill out by the lake, this is a great spot. Hop in the pool to cool off and grill some burgers! Only left the house to pickup groceries. Fished a little bit off the dock and enjoyed the quiet. Did take one quick trip to Highlands Hammocks State Park for a short hike.. really nice old Florida perspective.

Best sunsets! Relaxing getaway
The whole family enjoyed the place, my wife and my mother enjoyed laying by the pool side, the kids enjoyed fishing from the dock, played badminton and used the kayak. We barbequed every night and had dinner outside while watching the sunset. It was not our first time staying at this house and wo t be the last.....highly recommend it.

Amazing sunsets
We always enjoy our stay at this property. The sunsets are amazing! We swim in the pool almost daily even though it isn’t heated! The location is perfect and we love the fenced yard for our dog. It is a nice, friendly neighbourhood if you want to go out for a walk. Although this is an older home, it still provides what you need for a nice stay in great location.

Perfect family getaway!
This is a perfect getaway for those who enjoy nature, even though the house is comfortably cozy and unique, the back yard was my favorite. We spent a lot of time by the pool lounging with a book, barbecuing and eating out doors, watching amazing sunsets from the dock. The house has three living areas, a small one by the entrance foyer which was my favorite to hang out with a book or read my emails at the desk;If you are a couch potato like my husband I recommend the chimney area where the main tv is; we hardly used the main room but the kids sat in it playing games and listening to music. I’ve already reserved for next year, loved the place. I forgot to mention that our host Freddie was very attentive, we were able reach her any time by text or phone.
