This property was built and owned by a famous local sports commentator, who did many of his sports fishing news off the local Rod & Reel Pier. Its unique design is probably influenced by his son, who is a well-known Tampa architect. It is a corner lot and the beach access and beach is just across the road.

There are also 4 other beach accesses within a short walking distance - two being directly onto the Bean Point area. Our beach access leads to a wide white sandy beach. There are 3 Bean Point accesses on the northern tip. Ours is on the Gulf side. It is the widest and most deep. It is also the most private. The other two accesses are also only a short walk. The last of the three opens to the bay side. This location lends itself to good fishing, shelling, and manatees and dolphins coming andgoing from Tampa Bay to the Gulf.

Our beach access has a beautiful walk to the beach where sea oats, dunes, and silky white sands await you. It is often the site for photographers to do photo shoots as the access is lined by stucco walls with overhanging trees forming an arch and shade for beach goers. We love watching the bridal parties doing pre-weddinng photos. In addition, sometimes we have guest bagpiper who comes down at sunset to play "Amazing Grace" ...a perfect way to end the day.!

We do allow dogs, depending on breed, size and their level of education. They must be able to understand the rules and dog regulations applying to the city and to Coconuts, including the city leash, barking laws, and beach regulations. They must social distance, especially from Tebow, our resident turtle. Tebow is trying to come out of retirement and has to work on improving his runningtime.

Main street for AM is Pine Ave. 15 miute walk, where the free trolley comes to AM Pier parking lot. It is lined with great restaurants, boutiques, bike rentals, salons, art studios, and even an olive oil outpost. You are going to love AM!

Location is right across from beach access plus within walking distance to 3 other beach accesses to the Gulf of Mexico. It is in the most private area of Anna Maria on the last expanse of the western Gulf Beach. Walk around the corner and you can be on Tampa Bay. This is the best area to fish from the shore, see the manatees, watch the dolphins swim by. It is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Anna Maria. You can catch the free trolley from 7AM to 11PM and go anywhere on the island!
