Understanding the Hay Bales 🐢
You might have spotted some new additions along Bradenton Beach – barriers made of hay bales. These aren't just for show; they're playing a vital role in protecting our beloved sea turtles!

This year, like every year from May through October, we're right in the heart of sea turtle nesting season. These incredible creatures come ashore to lay their eggs, and it's our job to help ensure their journey is a safe one.

Unfortunately, last year's storms had a significant impact on our beautiful coastline, eroding sand dunes and washing away important barrier foliage like sea oats. This natural protection is crucial for nesting sea turtles, guiding them and shielding their nests from hazards.

So, how do the hay bales help?
Preventing Misdirection: Without the natural dune structure, mother turtles and tiny hatchlings can become disoriented and wander into dangerous areas like roadways or get trapped in rock revetments. The hay bales act as a temporary, gentle barrier, helping to keep them on the beach and headed in the right direction – towards the sea!

Reducing Light Exposure: Bright, artificial lights can confuse nesting turtles and, especially, emerging hatchlings, drawing them away from the ocean. While the hay bales offer some minor shielding, the loss of dune vegetation makes it even more critical for all of us to be mindful of our lighting near the beach.

Manatee County's Natural Resource Department has strategically placed these hay bales in areas like the Bridge Street beach access to address the loss of natural barriers. It's a proactive step to safeguard these protected marine animals.

What can YOU do to help?
Respect the Barriers: Please don't disturb the hay bales or any marked sea turtle nests.
Lights Out for Turtles: If you live near the beach or are visiting, please turn off or shield any lights visible from the shore after dark. Use turtle-friendly lighting if possible.
Keep Your Distance: If you're lucky enough to see a nesting turtle or hatchlings, admire them from a distance. Never use flash photography.
Leave No Trace: Remove all beach furniture, trash, and fill in any holes before you leave the beach. These can be obstacles for turtles.

By working together, we can help ensure a successful nesting season for our Bradenton Beach sea turtles. Let's give them the best chance to thrive!

Benefits of a Tiny Home Airbnb 💫
•Low start up costs, high returns: The average tiny home costs $52k (we have some for less!), which is 87% cheaper than the cost of a home.
•It doesn’t harm the housing market in the area to purchase a tiny home for airbnb the same way it would if you were to purchase a home for airbnb.
•Tiny Homes are a growing trend in America, which makes them more appealing to travelers looking for trendy places to stay.
•Airbnb platform has a special “tiny home” category for unique stays, making it easier for the right people to find your listing!
•Having Airbnbs increase your passive income, allowing you to free up your time for the things that truly matter.
Our first tiny home Airbnb replaced our single full time income in only 1 month of hosting! The best part is, tiny homes usually hold their value even when reselling as used, therefore you can count on getting your investment back even years later if your circumstances change and you no longer want to host.
We want to help you work less, and make more! DM us to check out the tiny homes we have available now 💫
