About this property

Modern, comfy Owl Cottage with spacious shady yard

An old Florida house has been transformed into the Owl Cottage in downtown Brooksville, FL, named for the large Barred Owls that are frequently heard at night.

On a brick street in a residential area of historic downtown, this two bedroom, two bath home is modern, comfortable, inviting and peaceful. Attractive features inside and out will provide ample space to spread out and enjoy a restful space from which to explore the Nature Coast and Central Florida.

Built in the late 1920’s this quaint cottage has a front porch with rockers and a porch swing, modern furnishings with an open layout, and, all the modern conveniences. It has two bedrooms and two full baths, a living room and dining area, a work desk, and, a full, well equipped kitchen with granite countertops. There is a large laundry room off of the kitchen with washer and dryer.

The blue bedroom upstairs is very spacious with a king bed, a sitting area, large closets, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower and double vanity sinks.

The downstairs green bedroom is off the hall with a queen bed; a full bathroom with a tub and shower is off the hallway.

A large screened porch is through French doors off the kitchen and has a dining and lounging area.

The rear yard is spacious and has a bricked patio area with seating, great for enjoying the large, shady yard and perhaps spotting or hearing some of the 60+ species of birds identified on this street.

You will be the only guests on the property and have access to the whole space. There is one locked closet for storage of supplies & linens in the hallway.

There is a Roku TV with many apps to use your own accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc as well as free apps.

Great hosts
The host was great. We had an issue with the AC the day we were there and the host immediately accommodated us at a different location. She responded quickly and was so nice. The original rental was very cute. Don’t hesitate!

Awesome property
We were in town with our adult son and his wife for a wedding. The Owl cottage was perfect. Nice size, well equipped, with a great back porch. We loved hanging out on the porch with a drink and chatting.

Short stay for a golf trip
We had a short 4 day stay in Brooksville Fl. And we found this house on Vrbo. The house was wonderful and the owner was great to work with. The house had everything described.

Wonderful spot
The Owl Cottage is a charming place from which to explore this part of Florida. It's convenient to Weeki Watchee, where we took in the famous underwater mermaids show, and later rented kayaks to explore the crystal clear Weeki Watchee River, and saw a number of the gentle giant manatees. Brooksville is not a big city (part of its charm), but boasts some great places to eat.

Host profile image
We love fixing up old houses and giving them new life, which keeps us busy most of the time. We also like birding, thrifting and upcycling treasures, traveling the back roads and seeing the world. Shanta enjoys gardening and cooking while Amanda is passionate about playing softball. Shanta grew up in India and Amanda in North Carolina - we call Brooksville home now.
