Many are aware of the lifestyle program, but they want to spend more than a week in TV and they want to stay in a particular area, not necessarily in the villas where the lifestyle people are. Also, people doing the lifestyle visit can't sign up for classes, or water aerobics or book their own golf tee off times.
I think the concern is not so much 1+ month renters who are 55+, but 2-7 day renters that are much younger---most Airbnb rentals are much shorter than a month
