About the host

Hosted by Adam & Jennifer Moffitt

Host profile image

Hi! We are so happy you are interested in our property! We have a love for seeing homes & properties restored & awakened to their full potential & have been doing it for as long as we can remember in our 30 yrs of marriage. We have 2 adult children, a few pets that are more like children & live full time in Orlando, FL.
We are currently working on our 2nd rental & will be adding it to VRBO early 2025!

Why they chose this property

Jennifer grew up coming to the property next to this one. It was purchased by her grandfather in the 70's and has been passed down through the generations. When this little gem came up for sale we all got a little excited to see it brought to its full potential & be an extension of the memories & beauty. While it has been a lot of hard work & a whole lot of time, it has brought us so much joy to see this home shined up & ready to greet guests!
