About the host

Hosted by Tina Grooms

Host profile image
Eddie and Tina Grooms are lovingly called, "The Travelin' Okies" by our friends and family. We love to travel all around the world, exploring new places, and sharing our experiences with new friends we meet along the way. Eddie is retired from the Air Force of 20 years and always has a "project" going. When I say project - it ranges from remodeling houses to landscaping to planning the next theme party. Tina is a retired school teacher of 20 years and enjoys reading when Eddie doesn't have her involved in one of his projects. They have two amazing daughters and three adorable grandchildren. Currently, they split their time between Marlow, Oklahoma and Florida.

Why they chose this property

While visiting some our new friends from The Villages, we fell in love with the area and the whole concept of The Villages (a golf cart community filled with active seniors). This property is located just outside The Villages and only 3 miles away from the nearest Village Square of Brownwood where they have free nightly entertainment. The property is located on a county road on an acre and a half surrounded by tall oak trees and elephant ear plants that look like they are straight out of Jurassic Park. There are cows to watch adjacent to the property. Birds and squirrels are there every day to entertain the guests. We fell in love with the area as well as the property and want to share this experience with you.

What makes this property unique

You are close to shopping and restaurants but feel like you are in the middle of the country. The place to be is on the front porch on the wooden rocking chairs with a cup of coffee in the morning or during one of Florida's thunderstorms. It is so relaxing and entertaining at the same time.
