> that is such a rare desire Not rare among a certain wealthy, striving, social class. Not rare at all. In some circles I intersect with (but do not belong to), the years, or decades your family has been part-time residents in a place is a factor in your self-image and/or place in the pecking order. Aside from that, part of what I think is fueling this company's growth is that it's not about vacationing. It's about having a (another) pretty place to take your family for 2 months a year, wrapped up in a promise that it's a compelling real estate investment, so you're practically losing money if you don't buy now!
