Thank you for your thoughts.

You’re paying the same for the yard, the bugs, the pool, basic maintenance year round anyway.
The only real added cost is home watch. Everything else is negligible. We just shut down home watch while either of us are there and start back up when it’s empty. Thought about renting but the hassle of what to do with our truck/golf cart/ important stuff…etc and the hassle of renters in general was more than we cared about dealing with. Do it! It’s a fun place to vacation. Hopefully we’ll be able to live there more often but for now it’s great!
