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!

Ballyhoo, a small baitfish highly prized by local big game fishermen.

    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

    Great location. We are in our late 60's and did not rent a car. Just rode bikes to restaurants and took the trolley when needed. Place was very clean and comfortabale and the host was reponsible with communications. We would definitely stay there again. (One of the four bicycles was not usable becasue of a broken peadal. That's just for the host's information, not intended as a complaint. There were only 2 of us and it was not an issue). Thanks for a great time!

    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!
