Such a shame. All of Lido's charm is not so slowly being destroyed. In addition to the hotel homes, the historic Gulf Beach Motel is being torn down to be replaced by condos. And I haven't checked the status of the giant monstrosity that will replace the Sand Castle lately, but I still can't believe that was approved with so little objection. It breaks my heart. I can't imagine what it's doing to you. So sorry.

Just hoping that the small vacation rental owners aren't bunched it with these rental Corporations that are swallowing everything. I have run a smooth operation for 10 years ,pay my state and local taxes ,properly insured and have had the most wonderful repeat guests that love Sarasota and inject their dollars into the Sarasota economy. These large party houses are not in the same league with responsible small business owners that truly care about the neighborhood and the community.
