When we purchased in 1998 three of the six units were still mint green including ours. We did the windows, door, insulation, siding, etc. when we got it. They were all still seasonal back then too. You can still see the green when you open the shed to our outside electrical meter.

This place has gone through a radical transformation since the old days. They're all year round and 3 out of the 6 units live here full time including us.

Another thing about our HOA is that we don't allow rentals. That could be a turn off for some. Being a small family association we're not interested in renters taking over and destroying our peaceful place. It's happened in the past and that's definitely an ongoing problem elsewhere. Especially during bike week.
