About this house rental
Our property, Ardendales, is a beautifully renovated home with the charm of the early 1900's and all the modern conveniences. Situated in historic downtown Brooksville within walking distance of restaurants, tennis courts, shopping and city park, our beautiful one acre property is on a quiet residential brick street. With five bedrooms and four baths and 3800 sf it sleeps 14 comfortably. It has a parlor, library, very large living room with built-in window daybeds, dining room that seats 18, a butler's pantry, a large kitchen, and an extra suite with a separate entrance with microwave and mini-fridge downstairs. Out back is a 6 burner grill on a large terraced deck next to a comfortably furnished screened room. We've added 1/4 mi of walking paths for a quiet walk through the wooded peaceful 1/2 acre behind the house - a great place to do some bird watching or just relax in the screened room tucked away in the middle of the woods. Equipped with all the conveniences of home you can make this your base while taking day trips to enjoy the surrounding Nature Coast sights, the theme parks in central FL, local beaches, Tampa/St Petersburg's entertainment and dining, etc. Great for family reunions or vacations, out-of-town wedding guests, vacation rental, festival weekends.

Family Trip 2023: was a trip we had to reschedule from 2022 due to travel issues. We had family from all over coming into Brooksville for this vacation. We had the privilege of renting the whole house and it was just perfect for our family. We mostly enjoyed the historic home and the large gatherings in the main room and dining room. It was perfect for our large family dinners and game nights. I personally enjoyed the early morning walks in the downtown area and the local food and shopping. Our family trip lasted a very short 6 days but we enjoyed every minute and Ardendales was a huge part of that experience. We all look forward to visiting again soon.

This is a lovely old home a couple blocks from the historic Brooksville Town square. Rooms are large with comfortable chairs perfect for reading, having conversation or even napping on the window seats.
We had 10 people in residence, 18 people in the evening for pizza and beer and it never felt crowded.
My extended family declared Ardendales to be the best place we have ever stayed for a family gathering.

This tremendous property was not only stunning but comfortable and clean for our long family weekend. Host greeted us when arrived, walked us through and showed us thermostats keys, etc., and explained he stays discretely on-site on the other side of property. Everything we needed was available, and met or exceeded our expectations. Some room configurations made for difficult placement of our family members (3-person rooms) but was figured out in the end regardless. Host was very thoughtful and left us a kind welcome note and fruit on the counter, and had everything ready for us when needed.

Perfect Family Wedding House
Our family enjoyed gathering in the big kitchen while my sisters prepared the rehearsal dinner. We had game night in the huge living room that can seat 10-14 people! The dining room even has a table big enough for 14. Our group also enjoyed hanging out in the screen porch as well as the backyard. Too many special touches to hoist to make our stay so special ☺️

Amazing Stay
Beat was an amazing host. The property was so welcoming. There was so much space and the property was well stocked. This was one of my favorite Vrbo experiences. The location was right downtime. There were lots of places to check out within walking distance. We would come back and stay there again.

Awesome time in a beautiful house in a wonderful pat of Florida.
My family and I (10 people) had the best time at this location. We were all able to be under one roof which is great due to coming to the area for a funeral service at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell. Beat was the best host ever. Thank you Beat!!

Great Property
My family came from around the country to attend my daughter’s wedding. I was looking for a property that would accommodate all 12 of us. We wanted family and friend time. This property was perfect! Not only was the house conducive to bedroom/bathroom needs, but the kitchen, dining room and living room areas made entertaining and visiting easy and timeless. The property is clean and well maintained. The grounds are well kept and the area it beautiful. I highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this house. The place was huge, plenty of room for everyone and while it's an old Florida house, it was immaculate. Very well kept and clean. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town.

Classic comfort in downtown Brooksville, Florida.
Lovely restored historic house in downtown Brooksville. Perfect house for guests attending a wedding or other event at Saxon Manor. Spacious dining room and serving area. Huge living room for everyone to gather in addition to other living areas. Love the considerate touch of the welcome basket with card and note on the blackboard.

Great house
My family, and my siblings and their families (including a 3-year-old), traveled to the area for a family reunion right after Christmas and the eleven of us were very comfortable in this house. It had plenty of space, a well stocked kitchen, and all the other amenities we needed. The three older kids stayed in the Garden Suite and enjoyed having a space to themselves. Several of us took advantage of the walking trail nearby. The backyard, deck and screened in room provided even more space to play and relax. The homeowner made us feel very welcome. She answered all of our questions in a timely fashion before we traveled and she was available by phone/text if we had questions during our stay. I would recommend this house to others if they had to be in the Brooksville area.

A great find!
A nice property that can sleep a lot of people. Not far from World Wind golf course and only 40 minutes from Tampa. The Garden suite is a separate apartment for a lot of privacy for multiple families.

Awesome and comfortable older home with charm and
My 4 sisters and our husbands (5 couples) stayed her for a family wedding in the area. We all loved it. Very spacious and comfortable. We had just lost our mother last month, so being together in one house was very important to all of us- it reminded us of our childhood! The house itself was absolutely perfect and we felt pampered by the owners. The kitchen was well stocked with anything a large group would need. The beds were comfortable and everything was so clean. The grounds were gorgeous and as well as the house, a lot of cozy little spaces to just sit and talk and relax. We would love to stay at this location again. It was perfect.

Wonderful older home with a lot of charm
Our large group of sea kayakers used this home as a base for one week. We had two couples and several singles and the flexible BR configurations (e.g. king bed can be made into two singles) worked out really well for us. The same is true of the bathrooms, two of which can be "Jack and Jill" or turned into private baths.
The write up on VRBO accurately described the home, but the photos really couldn't do it justice. The house is loaded with charm and is very tastefully decorated, and the photos just can't capture that.
There is a lot of space for a large group - especially the huge main living area and the gigantic dining room - but also several smaller living areas that allowed people to get some quiet time. The screened in porch was wonderful as was the separate downstairs apartment.
The kitchen, while not real spacious (not a place for 10 people to hang out), was extremely well stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, dishes, silverware, glasses, etc.
We had a lot of cars and the public parking lot just across the street provided nice overflow parking.
The owner was very easy to work with and maintained great communication.
All in all this is a wonderful house that everyone liked and we definitely would stay here again!

Family and Friends Enjoy Tampa
My Family and Friends Family came to Florida and wanted to stay north of Tampa. The Ardendales house worked out perfectly. The house is very large, equipped well and has loads of character. I would recommended the house to any one and it would by my first choice for future trips to the Tampa area.
