The Village of the Arts is an eclectic live-work community of colorful historic cottages that house everything from award-winning restaurants to specialty shops, studios, healing arts, bakeries, and Bradenton’s best art galleries. brbrProximity to Anna Maria Island is a highlight of the Gulf Watch community. There’s a saying here; “When you're on Anna Maria Island, you don’t go to the beach… because on Anna Maria Island, you’re already at the beach.” With Gulf temperatures averaging 84 degrees and 360 days of sunshine per year, the surrounding waters of AMI are known as “the nursery” because of the many dolphins that raise their young here. brbrSurrounded by water and interlaced with canals, this area hosts many amazing sea creatures, including Loggerhead Turtles, Manatees, and dolphins. Loggerhead turtles are a protected species. A Turtle Watch group of wonderful folks search the beaches for nests and protect those nests until the eggs hatch (it is illegal for anyone to tamper with the nests). Manatees are also protected here in Florida - they are commonly seen in the summer when they leave their winter-warm waters and migrate south.brbrThe closest airport is Sarasota Bradenton Intl (SRQ) (7.25 mi). Other nearby airports are Tampa St. Petersburg (PIE) (29.22 mi), Tampa (TPA) (33.01 mi), Punta Gorda Charlotte County (PGD) (53.66 mi) or Fort Myers SW Florida Intl (RSW) (83.19 mi).brbrAnna Maria Island is accessed by three draw bridges: two from the mainland and one from Longboat Key. Many residents leave their cars in their garages and travel to Anna Maria Island by bicycle, scooter, or boat. A car is not necessary on this small island. A FREE island trolley and “Monkey Bus” offer public transportation. brbrYou’ll receive a digital welcome package and a 14-page digital travel guide when you rent from us.
