Marco 47 since you asked,I really had no intention of sounding bitter however I also have a house on Marco that I rent out through what I believe to be a responsible Marco agency.From the comments and pictures left in my guest book it would seem the families who have stayed at my house are good solid American stock who rent anything from 1 week to 1 month never anything less.This is the only way until my retirement kicks in that I can realize the American dream and own a little piece of paradise that gives me hope for the future.Whilst I can understand the problem of nuisance renters to full time residents of Marco it would seem to me this is the minority and not the norm.I honestly believe the agencies and renters should be ultimately responsible.and should be fined accordingly.It might help if when these people rent it was brought to their attention what is acceptable and what is not whilst they are renting ie parking on the verges, over crowding of property,trash being left out etc.In my eyes the solution is no to limit rentals to a 30 day minimum stay but to lay out the ground rules before they rent and if they are not kept to then fine them not the owners who have no idea what is going on in their absence.This is why I rent through an agency.What really gets to me is the time this issue is taking to be resolved and also the power that some of the committe members seem to have on what could ultimately result in me loosing my property if I have no renters.You might say thats my own fault and ofcourse you would be correct.But it was the only way for me to proceed up the ladder.It would be nice to have this issue resolved fairly So that we could all get on with our lives.

Instead of all this nastiness do you not think that perhaps we might have a little respect for the poor dead lady and for the feelings of her family. Maybe the police could have been a little more tactful but you guys are just making a bad situation worse. Come on- be nice for a change.

Okay if this is happening now.Whats going to be the state of play when all of Marco is hooked up to the main sewer.They could,nt organise a **** up in a brewery,Its like a television comedy show at times on this Island.

We love dining at Arturo,s when on the island, it really is everything one could wish for in an Italian restaurant.Look forward to the next trip out to Marco so we can eat at this wonderful place again.You all work so hard and deserve success.Regards to you all.

I have just had an idea on how to control noisey guests.Why not have a Charter listing out the rules for anyone who wishes to visit Marco Island.When a hotel books out a room or a rental agency rents a property on the Island the guest have to sign the charter and agree to stick to the rules.If they break any, they could be fined.You could even have the charter written on the pages of travel brochures throughout the world so anyone booking a holiday would know where they stand.That would surely stop any problems would,nt it?

Lets just take a look at whats going on in America.Gas at $4+ a gallon,Property crisis,recession in full swing,the Dollar loosing value across the world to name a few.And on Marco Island you are trying to put tourists off coming.These are people who spend money that keep the shops alive,restaurants full etc.What are trying to do? Yes some kind of regulation is required but be careful.As I,ve said before there are many places called paradise in America.Could it be that the Hotels on Marco are trying to get rid of the competition that is giving this scheme so much momentum?Sounds silly but alot of attention is being given to this one and after all only 24 people turned up for the open meeting a few weeks ago.I wonder is there more to this than meets the eye.

This man is like gold dust.A true American who does what is right,especially for people less fortunate than most of us.If Marco had more people like him, what a wonderful place it would be, utopia perhaps.Have a great time Stan you deserve it.

justacitizen last time I asked a local company for some advice | was told they did,nt do repairs only replace.Mind you that was a while back when we were all millionaires.Perhaps they are more willing just to have work now the crunch has arrived.Do you have a name for the helpful company?
