Mackenzie McKee, the TV personality and married mother of three, took to Instagram recently to share how pleased she and her family are in their new place, albeit a stopover for the “Teen Mom OG” star, at Sun-n-Fun RV Resort in Sarasota, Fla.
McKee, who is 27 now and was on the show 11 years ago, detailed her family’s journey of moving from Oklahoma to Florida and looking for a home. She said they were renting in the Sunshine State and awaiting pre-approval to buy a new home in Florida. They came to find a lease they thought they could extend would be ending, and the family would need to move in 30 days.
“The market is crazy,” she said. “I was told that and I’m like we’re going to be homeless in 30 days.”
The family put their home in Oklahoma on the market and it sold in five days. The hunt for a place to rent was going nowhere, with only the promise of great expense and a lot of hours commuting to work and school.
That’s when another parent at the kids’ school mentioned the area manufactured home community operated by Michigan-based Sun Communities, a national provider of residential communities and RV resorts. The community’s name recently changed to Sun Outdoor Sarasota, but hangs on to its traditional signage and is known by many as Fun-n-Sun.
“I called them, they had one trailer available and I’m like this is my only option… ‘Sold! Here’s my debit card.’ I didn’t know what to expect.
“We pulled up after 18 hours of driving, and, honestly guys, this place is awesome,” McKee said.
McKee told her one million followers how her kids loved the community’s Halloween party and swimming.
“They have a huge pool! Pool parties… did I just spit?” she said.
Is spittin’ happy a thing now?
Seriously, the Sarasota manufactured home community provided the perfect solution for McKee and her family, as it does for so many others. And while the TV personality and her clan have a move-in date for a new home nearby, McKee said she would consider Sun-n-Fun in the future.
“It’s like a vacation spot and it’s super fun,” she said.
