The Molloy - A Boutique Beach Resort

You can tell it's "older" with some issues on the floors, wall & door trims and the edge of the pool, but it was clean & very roomy, huge closet worked for an extra "changing space". Full size refrigerator/freezer and kitchen sink was awesome. You don't have a private balcony, it all runs together as a walkway, but everybody was very nice in sharing the space. It's really nice that they have loungers you can take to the beach and use, along with some outdoor games and grills to share.

Very calming vibe and sense of community/home while staying at a hotel. Close parking, ease of access ramps, and access to amenities helped with ease. This room had limited beach/ocean view from ground floor window, a nearby gazebo, and plenty of close seating. A sense of community made it feel safe to sit around the outdoor sitting area and beach, even after dark.

We have stayed at the Molloy a few times now, our daughter attends Eckerd College. We always feel very welcomed upon arrival, it’s almost a sense of family. We stayed with our daughters for Thanksgiving and we enjoyed our room, the ability to “eat in” the grills are a lovely option for families. After a day at the beach, it’s nice to just shower and grill your dinner! It’s amazing how well they have recovered from the hurricanes. I recommend the Molloy highly.

Option for pool or beach was great

Hotel was super cute & comfortable. The people who work there are wholesome & kind. I loved that there was a fridge, toaster, microwave, real plates & cups/utensils. Pool right outside with the ocean right there. Hotel provided beach chairs & umbrellas at no extra cost which was amazing. ONLY DOWNSIDE: only mirror in the room was in the bathroom & I’m 4’11 & it was placed too high that I couldn’t see myself unless I stood on top of the edge of the bathtub lol. I’ll be staying again for sure but ima have to bring my own long mirror in order to check if my outfit looks good (lol) other than that, very “homey” & relaxing.

Lovely outdoor and beach-accessible private area

Nice and private but the pool was cold and we complained several times, but nobody did anything to fix it

We recently had a family gathering at The Molloy and were quite pleased with our stay. The manager and staff were accomodating and made us feel very welcome. The rooms were a bit small and dated, but they were clean and the beds were comfortable, and we spent most of our time outside anyways. There is a pool onsite, and a very large area with hammocks, grills and a pavilion. There was plenty of room for games, such as corn hole etc and the kids enjoyed all the room to run around. We had about 60 -65 people including kids and never felt crowded. The property is directly located on the beach, which is about a 200 yard sandy stroll. The Molloy provides umbrellas and beach chairs. It was cool seeing dolphins and manatee swim by and the kids enjoyed finding shells and clams. If you do not need a five star resort, and enjoy Florida for the outdoors and beaches, value hospitality and close proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment without being "in the heart of it", The Molloy is worth checking out.

We definitely loved this quaint little place and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed the free amenities like beach chairs and umbrella, hammocks, Adirondack chairs; and of course being right on the beach!! If we were to look for improvements, the water was never really hot, there were no spoons in the room for coffee, and a fire pit would have been a great addition.

Our stay at The Malloy was exactly what I was looking for. Right on the beach and they provide umbrellas and chairs you can use. The kids liked the pool once we came back from the beach. Quiet, peaceful, and the sunset! Our flight got in before check in but the staff allowed us to use all the amenities while we waited on our room.

The Molloy is a true hidden gem. Our room was nice and clean and staff are very friendly and attentive.

Nice beach, older but clean rooms. Quaint

The place was quiet clean and everyone was wonderfully friendly

The property was very clean, nicely updated, with friendly management. Our unit had a full kitchen which was nice. The bed was very comfortable and AC worked well. We highly recommend the Molloy.

We spent a nice relaxing weekend. The room and hotel were all exceptionally clean and the staff were all very friendly. We loved the direct access to the beach for our very long walk on it. Even the beach was very clean , no overflowing trash cans like sometimes you find on beaches. We live less than one hour away, we will return.

Beautiful location. Nicely updated suite. Comfortable accommodations. Clean. Biggest asset is proximity to waterfront. Great location

Everything was excellent. Very kind employees The place was very clean and safe. I would stay there again. 😊

The room we were given to stay in was 3/4 ok and 1/4 like a tear down. I was going to take a picture of the bathroom sink, but it was so bad no one would have believed it. The sink was plugged up from the minute we used it. The bathtub also ran so slow the tub filled with water to the top before I was done (less than 10 minutes) and the warm water ran out after two people took showers. The beds were wonderful and very comfortable and the tv worked well. There was a microwave and a refrigerator. When we arrived the fridge smelled like fish. It also was warm. We did ask for that to be fixed- and the very nice desk attendant fixed it immediately. The way they have the check in process seems logical- if you arrive after 9:00pm, they are supposed to give you a code. The doors have key pads(punch in a number). The only problem is that if they send the code to the wrong email, then don’t have any way to reach them after 9:00pm(like a phone or email or text that someone looks at occasionally) you either sleep in your car until they call you back or you get a different hotel room at 2:30am and try to sleep! The location itself is amazing, which really did make up for a lot of the bad things. I don’t think we would stay there again either way, especially for $450 a night! Of course it’s my fault for paying that due to it being spring break and all, but the shape the bathroom was in was inexcusable, even to say that it was being remodeled- it was literally rotting away.

For the price, view and access to the beach, free parking, kitchen, and bedroom this place is worth it. However, our TEENS were swimming in the pool while we watched from our room and the owner came out to chastise us that they were left unsupervised. We haven’t needed help parenting for the last 13 years and don’t need it now, if we say it’s fine, then it’s fine. The micromanaging was a little much. The place needs a good deep clean and some paint, and the couch pull out wouldn’t fold down so our kid had to just sleep on the couch. There couple annoyances were not enough to say we had a bad stay and I would recommend it to anyone, but stay close to your well trained swimming children in the pool.

Beautiful view, front access to the beautiful beach. Beach perfect for kids as a lot of sand bars. Super clean and well organized room included a stove, microwave and big fridge if you are the kind of guess who likes to cook.

The room was spacious and updated and the service was excellent.

Not crowded, nice cozy place, close to the ocean, nice outside amenities. Updated rooms.

Stay was great. There are s few things i didnt ask about, and they did not have them. A room phone, a full length mirror, a tv in the bedroom. We slept on the couch way to much simply because of no tv..... and EVERYTHING WAS ALL WHITE. probably not good for kids

So take into consideration I am 5’2. My feet reached the END of the bed. Yet when I went into the bathroom I was unable to see myself/use the mirror bc they placed it so high. The blinds on the window had no way to open/close or put them down so good luck sleeping in the day time with the light shining through bc they have no curtains. Only good thing was the location is right on the beach and has a pool.

Very cute property. Small. Clean. Bathroom faucets could use upgrades and bigger bed.

We had an excellent weekend with the family. The check in was quick. The room was very comfortable ,all the workers were super friendly and very good service. I recommend it and we will definitely return.thank you very much

Staff extremely customer oriented.

We booked and paid for a King room through Hotels.com. At hotel, we were offed room with 1 double bed as they dont pay any attention to what hotels.com does (they just give you what they want). Too late to cancel so we paid additional $200 to stay in room but with two doubleds and no king. People however were friendly and service was great.

I liked the easy access to the beach. The walk was not long like other places I have stayed. Staff friendly and helpful.

This was our 4th time staying at The Molloy. Perfect location on the beach and cute old Florida charm with everything we needed for our stay.

My favorite part was the beauty of the private beach just past the pool and how you have access and sight of the gulf from The Malloy!

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at The Molloy. Right on the beach. Several food and shopping locations just a short walk away. Staff was very friendly and did everything they could to make our short stay enjoyable.

Excellent location! Great staff!

Best location for beach front .
