About the host
Hosted by Todd and Teresa Vandre

My husband and I both grew up in Florida; however, life moved us around the United States as we finished school, my husband served in the military, and we followed our careers as a pilot and nurse. Now back in Florida, we fell in love with the small-town charm of Mount Dora, with the amenities of Orlando not too far away.
Why they chose this property
Also known as "The Festival City", Mount Dora is a historic central Florida town located on the shores of Lake Dora -- and is home to antique stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and some of the oldest and largest festivals in Florida every year. From Renningers Antique Center and Flea Market down to the small bakeries and coffee shops of downtown, my husband and I are in love with the Mount Dora!
