Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
Darlina and Andy Barber from upstate New York looking forward to moving to Florida when we retire. Until that time we offer our home as a vacation rental.
Why the Owner Chose Brooksville
The Spring Hill/Brooksville area is where my mom lived for over 20 years. We like the area better then the east coast of Florida. There is less hustle n' bustle, plus this area of the gulf coast has had no storm damage since 1960.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The weather is excellent, and everything you need is close by. We like Busch Gardens and have been there many times. Ten minutes from our home is Pines Island Beach. It's a cute, quiet, well kept beach that is all we need for some sun and leisure. The new Casino in Tampa has drawn our attention. It is a great place to spend a few hours, and is a short drive from the house.

We stayed at this lovely, spacious home for three months this past winter. Although the weather did not always co-operate, the owners did everything they could to make our stay a pleasant one. We were welcomed at the immaculate home with a booklet containing maps and directions to several golf courses and tourist attractions. We found the house to be well equipped for our needs. It is located in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. We would recommend this property for short or long term rental.

We recently stayed at the house for 2 weeks. The house is beautiful and the neighborhood is peaceful. We enjoyed the screened in room very much. It is conveniently located to many attractions. Our favorite was the Lowry Park Zoo.

We stayed in the house for a week, and found it as advertised--quiet, no noisy neighbors. Birds singing, which we like. We live in the country and enjoy our screened porch and the birds. Would have enjoyed the Florida room if the weather had been cooler. I am sure that in the winter it is a great place to relax.
Owner response:Thanks. Clean,thoughtful guests. We hope to see you again soon. Andy and Darlina
