About the host
Hosted by Darla Malcolm-Hauraney
Welcome, Every Family has a story and this is ours. Built in 2000 for David & Jean as their snow bird retirement retreat. Sadly Jean only got a few winters to enjoy and passed away unexpectedly in 2001. David & Shirley enjoyed the winter home for many years. The pandemic the house was rented out to a fabulous long term tenant and now she has moved to her forever home. Neil & Darla, Sheri & Larry hope to enjoy the home more in the coming years and are going to rent it out on a short term basis going forward. We love to share our Florida home so others can have a comfortable place to enjoy The Salt, Sun & Sea.
