Why are they always so rude and inefficient here? Especially Laura file what a jerk she was to my elderly mother in here trying to help - gave us such a hard time again as they do every year for a beach pass for no reason when we're just trying to pay - been residents for my whole life and it never gets easier - she never even apologized but suggested my 90 year old mom use the website - which isn't even possible with the type of pass we need - truly unbelievable and unnecessary rude behavior - hope they can find a way to make it right but I'm sure they'll just respond with more rudeness and lies if they even bother at all- maybe just have no capacity for human decency - so sad and around the holidays too - they should heed all those quotes on their desks and be kind but i guess they are not able - lady serving food at the residents beach was so kind though - office staff like laura ould a learn a lesson in...

What are you thinking when you say you are banning short term renters? When I think of short term renter i think of anything under 1 month. If you are here 1 month (4 weeks), that means you are retired most likely. However most winter birds stay at least 3 months. Mine do, January through March (3 months).

This is their home for 3 months (12 weeks), and they deserve to go to the beach they have gone for the last 3 years, Residence Beach. Again, retired families that have called Marco their homes for years.

Please reconsider only because it is common sense and the right thing to do. Our economy has been hurting tremendously why make it worst? Thank you all for the work that you...

I live here full time. I work on Marco and I live in Marco Shores. At one time we were goi g to be part of Marco the marco airport is in Marco Shores. On May 18 2025 my husband and I were going to South beach. The lot at 10:00 was full and a line of cars waiting. There were 2 vehicles in the Mica lot. When we passed Residence Beach on our way the parking lot wasn’t even 6 % full. If you want to make money why don’t you allow full time residence but a 4 month membership. We would be willing to pay full year price to use the facility for summer. Maybe you don’t need money maybe just be neighborly! By the way we are 70 and 72. I don’t think we would cause you any extra work or concern. Thank you for...
