I think this is a good point. When I owned a condo at the lake I did tourist things once, ride the Mount, play mini-golf, visit the arcades, etc. After that I just came to the lake on Friday and left on Sunday. Other than two weeks around the Fourth, the condo was empty Monday-Friday.
When these condos/hotels were rented to tourists, every Saturday a new group arrived for a week. Every week they had to see all the sights. Monday the Mount, Tuesday rent a boat, Wednesday mini-golf...
Condo-ization has it's downside.
