5/23/24 UPDATE:
Lahaina Management and Board members are still working behind the scenes to sell the property.
Over the past few weeks, Board members and management have had a number of meetings with our attorney to discuss the steps still needed in order for us to be able to dissolve the association and receive clear title. We are planning to have an Owners Meeting in the near future. We will provide more information concerning this once we have established the time and date.
There will be information going out to all owners. The most cost efficient and fastest way to get this out to you will be by email. Please make sure we have a current email address for you. It is important that we have your updated contact information. Please email [email protected] with this information.
We understand not all owners are on social media. Please feel free to pass along this information to any family and friends that are owners and may not see this post.

Subject: How You Can Help Support the Property Sale Process
Lahaina Owners,
We have received inquiries from several of you about how you can assist with the process of selling the property on Fort Myers Beach. Many properties remain vacant since Hurricane Ian, as developers are closely monitoring the situation to better understand what the Fort Myers Beach Town Council will permit in terms of new construction. The Town Council has initiated a public review process to justify any deviations from the current town plans, but this approach has created a sense of uncertainty and risk among potential buyers. The Town Council says you need to offer public benefit to get any variance. But they do not say what public benefit will get what variance.
As a community, we are faced with a challenge: many refuse to envision a future other than that of the old Fort Myers Beach, which was unfortunately wiped out by Hurricane Ian. For many homeowners, rebuilding or re-establishing a viable property is simply not feasible, leading to an increasing number of properties for sale.
We believe the best way to move forward is for the Town Council to provide clearer definitions and guidelines, particularly regarding the variance process, which would help reduce the uncertainty for buyers and property owners alike.
We encourage you to express your concerns by writing a respectful letter to the Town Council, emphasizing the need for clarification and a more defined approach to variances. You can find their contact details below.

Additionally, we encourage you to share our property listing from the LSI website. LSI continues to receive many inquiries on our property.
Your support is invaluable as we navigate this process.
Thank you for your involvement.
Sincerely, Lahaina Inn Resort
