It's when the owners come into town for two weeks, they escape their problems at home and they are the kindest people to you. Then they go home and you hear nothing until they come back again. Do they know how hard this is on the full timers? Feeling a bit "used". Sorry for the rant but I hope it gives a glimpse into one of the issues with this style home.

Huh. Interesting insight. I'm going to guess your career was spent in a small, close-knit environment, like a family-owned, office-based company? Maybe a single-location medical facility?
Your concern is interesting to me because it was never even a blip on my radar. I spent my career working for employers that had many thousands of employees and dozens of work sites. It was not uncommon to work with someone for a few months or a few years, then go your separate ways to different assignment/work locations only to meet up again at another one years later. People tended to pick up their friendships pretty much where they left off after a short reacquainting conversation.
My northern home is about 10% Florida snowbirds. We simply say "See you later" in the winter, and "Hey, welcome back!" in the Spring, picking up neighborhood socials right were we left off six months prior.
