New flooring.
New appliances.
A heated pool.
Smart-home controls.
A completely renovated kitchen.
A private dock.
And electronic locks that could be managed remotely.
I had originally planned to spend the week there myself.

For now.
There was just one little problem.
They didn’t actually have permission to stay there.
