If it’s holiday homes, check for covenants that prohibit year round occupation.
Yes, it has one of those. No occupation from 2nd week in Jan to 3rd week in Feb, something like that. I think that is reflected in the price and I don't see it as being a problem as we are not intending to live there full time.
