The Molloy - A Boutique Beach Resort

Beach view excellent

Everything was wonderful

Liked the courtyard for relaxing either in sun or shade.

Attentive, available staff. Amazing beach front location, to include pool and chairs! Lovely appointed room . Already booked a return visit.

We love this quaint motel. Perfect for our getaways. Beautiful beach and property

Other than location, this property is just average. It is advertised as a boutique hotel, and is quite small, but, doesn't provide more personalized service than typical hotels. The toilet paper, paper towels and shampoos provided were subpar. Regarding cleanliness, this was also subpar. I know this is a beach location, but upon entering our unit, we noted sandy floors and area rug. Our white socks were filthy after walking on the floors. I am doubtful it was ever mopped. The beach view consisted of a peak of the gulf out a small kitchenette window. The decor was nice and beach themed and appeared that a remodel had been done. But, the bathroom was dirty and workmanship was shoddy. The pool area was small with not enough pool deck space for lounge chairs. Lounge chairs were available in a Sandy area outside the pool which was nice. Even though the location is good, I wouldn't stay here again.

Beautiful setting, great staff

Nice boutique hotel. Friendly, quiet and good location. Enjoyed a weekend here.

The staff was extremely personable, the room was clean, and the location was perfect - directly on the beach. I loved the smaller, quiet charm of this hotel, and would love to go back.

Great place right on the beach.

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.

What a hidden gem! Wanted a get away place and this is it! So clean, so well kept and true treasure and would go there again anytime . . . right on the beach and peaceful !!

First room we were in the air conditioner was so loud we couldn't sleep and the sink wouldn't drain for 2 nights. Switched to a sweet gulf view and that was very nice and renovated.

Pictures are deceiving a bit. The place is dated, and the bed was so hard we pulled out the bed in the couch to be able to sleep. Julie at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

Best location for beach front .

Excellent location! Great staff!

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.

Nice beach, older but clean rooms. Quaint

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.

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.

Fantastic

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.

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.

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.

Lovely hotel right on the beach. Easy and friendly check in. Definitely recommend.

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.

This darling little place was just the perfect thing for our family. We checked in a little bit early and our room wasn’t quite ready but the staff was so accommodating and let us use the staff bathroom to swim until it was ready. It’s absolutely darling here and had all we needed.

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

The place was quiet clean and everyone was wonderfully friendly

Beautiful hotel

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

Option for pool or beach was great

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.

Excellent service great location on beach

My daughter and I were made to feel very welcome at The Molloy. We felt safe and enjoyed our stay even though it rained all weekend.

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.

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

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

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!

The place was very clean and safe. I would stay there again. 😊

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

Staff extremely customer oriented.

Absolutely love this place. clean layed back right on the beach excellent customer service. they make you feel at home provide beach chairs umbrellas everything you need for a great time at the beach. we highly recommend staying here and will be back time and time again

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.

Lovely outdoor and beach-accessible private area

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 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

Great location & perfect for families traveling together. Would recommend!

Loved the location and pool, wish there were an ice machine, and windows need darkening curtains to go over the blinds

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.

Very quiet and well-maintained property. Staff was very nice.

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 nice service

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.

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.

I have been to Treasure Island 14 times and did not know about this hidden gem. We came across it on Expedia while searching for a place to stay and decided to give it a shot. It was by far our favorite place that we have stayed at and will be back again. The minute I walked in I was greeted by ya lovey women working the front desk and every other encounter with staff we had was just as pleasant. The room we stayed in was beautiful and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous. It was the perfect place and we loved every minute of our stay. It’s so close to everything yet you feel like you are on your own private island. We truly love this little hidden gem!

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

The property is conveniently located at the beach with great view of the white sand, trees and setting sun. The swimming pool at the property was clean and well maintained. The free beach chairs, umbrellas, washing machines, grill and full size kitchen were beyond expectations. Overall, the warm hearted and well mannered staff won our hearts and we look forward to visiting again.

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

Hari is outstanding. Special spot.

Clean, spacious, beautiful sandy area with chairs and hammocks, perfect location right on the beach, close to stores and restaurants.

Dougie was amazing, when doing my check-in he made us feel like we was important VIP guest and that felt good.checkin was easy and fast. The place was beautiful clean and easy access to the beach right there you walk out of your room right there is the beach.

We brought out family for a last minute getaway. We were looking for a place right on the beach... and we definitely found it. We walked to the beach to enjoy the ocean every day and watch the beautiful sunsets every night. Such an amazing place with rooms that are updated and clean. Front desk staff were super helpful and went above and beyond. We had such a great time. We definitely will be back again soon.

Internet quality was poor and I had to go outside my room and out to the stairway to connect room was much smaller than I expected location was convenient to where I needed to go "resort" fees were puzzling as there was no resort type amenities.

The Molloy is a cute little Motel. It has everything you need and the staff was so friendly! It’s not fancy but it’s right on the beach and has all the comforts of home including laundry, microwaves, fridge, hammocks, beach towels and chairs, umbrellas. The room was clean and well kept.

We loved the location and the spotless cottage. It was a simple walk to the beach to enjoy the water as well as the spectacular sunsets. What stood out the most was the excellent customer service provided by the staff. In fact, the customer service everywhere we went on Treasure Island was absolutely flawless. We have family about an hour away and will definitely return to The Molloy whenever we're visiting!!

Friendly, helpful staff and beautiful location

Staff was awesome!

The bathroom in our room could use some updating.

We didnt like the hard beds. Felt like there was a hard board and a bar under the mattress.

Here for a moms and daughters retreat. We had a blast. The staff are so awesome. Friendly and safe area. Perfect quiet spot for beaching and shelling. Would come again in a heart beat.

Definitely would not stay there again, especially with a large group of people. Certain staff can’t handle the noise. No parking to speak of.

We loved the view! Being right on the beach was amazing. Hospitality was delightful. Perfect get away!!

Was great, cozy atmosphere and nice staff.

The buildings are old but they have updated and made the most of it! The grounds are great with lots of outdoor seating and common areas. A quaint, old school gem! Covid has changed the way housekeeping services look but I loved their plan...put dirty towels in basket provided and put outside doir and its is picked up and returned, in a very timely manner, with clean towels, toilet paper, trash bag etc. Would stay again!

Great location on the Gulf of Mexico. Huge variety of restaurants and bars. Trendy shopping of course plenty of beachwear and souvenirs.

At first it was a little rough....shower drain backed up, bathroom faucet barely flowed, and we were kept awake by loud conversation outside. However, repairs were quickly made to the bathroom. Other than the hide-a-bed mattress being pretty uncomfortable, it was a nice find on the beach.

The location on the beach was great.

Its very nice little spot. Right on the beach. Nothing fancy, but we werent looking for that. The place was clean, and well taken care of. If youre looking for a nice place, and dont want to spend a fortune. Its great

This hotel is very run down and in need of upgrades. Our toilet was not even attached to the floor and the shower head was clogged with very little flow and the faucet leaked. With upgraded fixtures it would be a nicer place. We paid way too much for what we got

This is my favorite place in Treasure Island. It’s not fancy, but gives the best beach vibe and access. I come as often as I can.

Limited/inconvenient parking.. not enough spaces for the rooms they have... the pool closes at dusk... someone called the cops because we were using the grill at 9:30... paid significantly more for a remodeled room with beach view that actually didn’t have a beach view because of the trees... mold in the bathroom.. cute design for remodel.. beds are old and hard.. clearly not replaced with remodel.. bedding was clean.. everything was clean.. the lady at the front was friendly.. you can use their lawn chairs on the beach for no extra charge.. overflow parking is paid parking.. they only allow 1 car per room even though most rooms sleep up to 8 people. I really don’t feel like it was worth 180$ for one night... they have no accommodations to make the trek back from paid parking easier. With bags, and littles in tow it was no easy feat especially since they don’t even have a designated cross walk.... they don’t seem to care about the toll it takes or the risk involved crossing a busy street with small children and having to make multiple trips to the car for belongings... nothing in place to ease that part of the experience at all.. but they already have your money by the time they figure that out so they don’t care and they don’t warn you beforehand.

We were told that we would have an gulf view on the 2nd floor when we booked the reservation. Wound up in an old outdated dusty room with no view. The pipes broke in our room in the middle of the night and flooded the room. We were not helped until the morning and had to sleep in the middle of a flooded room. They did finally put us in a pool view room on the 2nd floor the next day. This was a very nice room. Do not rent the Deluxe Room! There is nothing deluxe about it! It is gross and old! The pool and closeness to the beach was great.

The Malloy reminded me of vacation spots when I was a kid. It is small and quaint. The pool is in the center courtyard and is nice and shady during certain times of day. Guests hang there beach towels on the railings outside their rooms and I saw several collections of seashells on windowsills outside. The place is old but is kept pretty clean and you can see improvements have been made to update the property. The management was friendly and allowed an early check in since we were traveling with an infant.

Fun atmosphere.

Dislike: had to asked for towels and toilet paper in morning. Came back at 3 with nothing done, including garbage. Just thought could step up a bit for the $$.

Perfect location and a truly Floridian property! Right on the sand!

Loved the location on the beach, friendly staff and guests ,parking spots were minimal, room was fresh and comfortable

Beautiful property at the perfect location! The staff wss very friendly and accommodating. The hotel touches the sand and it was lovely at night to be able to swim in the heated pool. The place really felt like an apartment I could live in! We had a king suite that felt like home.

The property was quite and private at this time of year. It was a nice place and suitable for my stay.

Everything was great overall. Only issue/suggestion is that the Hotel needs to address hot water issue.

This property is beautiful! You can’t tell from the street but once you step inside -the pool and the private beach area are fabulous. There are hammocks and beach chairs, grills, tables, and an outdoor shower. A path leads to a beautiful beach with no crowds. The rooms are updated and decorated so nicely! I stayed on the top level and the view out to the ocean is stunning. Hari is the manager and is so friendly and helpful! I will definitely stay here again.

Our stay was exactly what we wanted. We received a warm welcome and The Molloy is a lovely, quiet, slice of paradise. We will surely return!

A really nice sort of mom and pop place on beach. Love it and will be back.

The molloy was very comfortable and convenient for my trip to st pete . me and my wife would stay there again.

Cheap, simple, great view. Walking distance to resturants

I was born and raised in Tampa, FL. We have been going to the beach/Gulf of Mexico from the 1960's through this year. I just found The Molloy last year and enjoyed our stay with my grandchildren immensely. Susan and Harri are so wonderful and helpful. The support staff are equally helpful and efficient. Great clean rooms, abundance of shells, honest and friendly guests, many recommendations with restaurants, yard sales or thrift shops, museums or high end boutiques.The locals know the staff at the Molloy and they know them. I have enjoyed my vacations, especially playing Marco Polo with my grandaughter, Arianna! There are those individuals who want the Ritz Carlton without paying the cost of a room. The Molloy Hotel is where you get the best bang for you money! No exceptions! Mary Ann Levine and family

Very friendly and helpful, beach was right there, loved it😎😎😎

This place was so weird. The location was amazing and on the beach. Our cottage had a gulf view. But the lock barely worked and it felt like there were families that lived there. It was like motel trailer park on the beach and just seemed so odd and sketchy. Different families kept going in and out of each other’s rooms so I’m not sure if it was a motel where people live year round and just rent out a few rooms. Shower was awful but bed was comfortable and sheets nice and clean.

Keep in mind that this is not a fancy resort hotel. With that in mind, the Malloy is super. The staff was friendly, the service great, the room was clean and spacious. Easy access to the beach. Pool is small but clean and easily accessible. Room includes refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffee maker and good TV. For the price this place would be hard to beat. We'll be back.

If you're looking for an old Florida hotel this is the place for you. Window air conditioning, old tiled shower with very little water pressure, cracks in the walls. I left the lights on for fear of what was coming through those cracks. No ice anywhere unless you bring your own. Not enough parking for guests. I had to double park behind another guest staying there and then the next morning had the manager pounding on my door because the garbage truck was coming. I had just got in tge dilapidated shower only to be rudely informed that I only had about 5 minutes to move my vehicle. One step up from tent camping.

Very helpful staff clean friendly hotel very short walk to beach definitely one of the better places I've stayed at in the area will definitely be returning

Nice older peaceful little place right on the beach. Beach is not over crowded at all. Safe area and relaxing. Staff was extremely helpful during my stay. Trolley line for transportation right near the motel.

The Molloy is an older no frills motel. If you are wanting to have an ocean front room with easy access to the beach this is nice. The rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. It has a smaller pool but serves the purpose. (we spent our time on the beach). The beach is great and not packed with people. Hari is the desk manager and she is just wonderful. Very pleasant and wanting to assure your stay is good. We would return here.

Getting to know the other guest. The beach access is amazing. Great staff.

Room: staff stated they had sprayed the furniture with Febreeze. The couch and chair were wet unable to sit on it. The bed linen was dirty. Thankful i had taken pictures of the linen since i was told that they were clean. One of the staff memebers coukd care less and had the lack of care attitidue.

This was my second time staying here and I'd stay here again. The rooms have everything you need and the outdoor area is absolutely perfect. I like that it's smaller, because it's quiet and laid back. The staff is really nice and welcoming. It's convenient to restaurants too.

We arrived around 4pm, and the room yet was still not ready until 4:30. As we entered we noticed that the bed was leaning, and that the moment you laid on the bed felt like it was going to break. There was mold on the walls. And the air conditioner had black film inside the filter, like it haven’t been changed for year. Not impressed, very unorganized.

Location very good for what we needed to do. Pool warm. Weather cool and windy.

The staff are extremely friendly - the rooms are clean - the linens and towels are very clean. We had 5 star service at this 2 star hotel. Don’t expect new and shiny - these charm of this little place with its courtyard pool and beachfront location, is it’s retro vibe.

Love this spot, they always make us feel like family. The other guests are so friendly. It's our home away from home.

Not even worth the price, needs updating!

very very good I recommend it

They made our weekend perfect! Nice cozy room, right on the beach. We’ll be back for sure!

We loved the staff but rooms a bit run down. Nice location to the beach
