About this cottage rental
The Ballyhoo is a ground floor cottage located on Bean Point at the very tip of Anna Maria Island. Around the corner, (200 feet away) is the Rod and Reel Pier and beach. A classic 1940s old Florida fishing pier. The pier is an excellent place to see all our local wildlife, dolphins, herons, pelicans, and if you are lucky, maybe a manatee. The pier offers some of the best fishing on the island. A family friendly place with very good food and drink. With panoramic views of Tampa Bay, the Skyway, Egmont Key and civil war era lighthouse, it's not to be missed. Take one our provided bikes or walk to nearby historic Pine Ave. where you'll find your choice of 12 restaurants, shops, art galleries and Roser Church built in 1913 by the inventor of the Fig Newton. While on Pine Ave. don't forget to visit the Anna Maria City Jail and the Anna Maria City Pier. At the City Pier you will find a free trolley that will take you anywhere on the island and back, trolley leaves approximately every half hour. The Ballyhoo is perfect for weekend getaways, fishing, shelling, or just relaxing and getting away from it all! Everything is included except food, your bathing suit and toothbrush! Come relax with us and have fun!

This was our second time staying at the Ballyhoo. It's the perfect place for a get away. Clean comfortable space. The host Ed is easy to reach and responded to any questions very quickly.Would definitely stay here again when we come back to AMI

My family stayed for 6 days, we had the best time. Location was great the walk to the beach was easy, and the sunrises over the bay were incredible.

We felt so at home and had a great stay! The location is great. I appreciated how clean and well-stocked the Ballyhoo was. We felt very at home. Hope to be back soon! Our 5 year old cried when we left and said he wanted to live there in the house forever!

The place worked out well for our purposes. We did not rent a car and the bikes worked out well . The Host was great and responsive. We got in a little early and were able to check in before 4:00
The house itself was a duplex and looked to be 30 or 40 years old. The roof had a large tarp on it. It looked like it had been there for a while but we saw no signs on the inside of roof leaks . There looked to be some deferred maintenance on the exterior but overall it did not take away from our use. It was clean and comfortable on the inside.
It was about 5 minutes from the beach (walking). It was probably a mile from restaurants and a little further than that to a bar.
The house was well equipped with dishes and anything you would need to make dinner. It's a good place to stay for a quick long weekend
