“Cozy "Throwback" Lodging with Great Extras”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

We stayed at Haley's for two nights in Room 7. This has a very comfortable bed and a great kitchenette, complete with Futon, breakfast table, and amenities enough to cook your own breakfast or light dinner. Mini Fridge and Microwave also worked well and were put to good use! The bathroom was a little on the small side (1 person at a time...) but still very clean. Also, A/C unit is a little loud for such a small room. Finally, the TV could be a little larger. Other than those little things, this place has a TON of personality and makes up for it with a VERY FRIENDLY staff and its proximity to the beach. PLUS, you can use Haley's beach cart to load up beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and even umbrellas - all complimentary! Very nice for us coming from Chicago to not have to buy any of that stuff as it was all there for us to use.
There was a small pool, but we spent our days at the beach. Make sure you walk down to the SandBar for Lunch and/or Dinner - just a short walk down toward the tip of the island. All-in-All, Haley's is a great place if you are looking for a clean "old-school" style Florida Motel. Rates are reasonable and amenities are excellent. WILL REPEAT!!!

Room Tip: Room 7 is perfect for a Couple who doesn't mind sharing a cozy space.

“Great Christmas Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

My partner and I spent Christmas getting away from the snow and frigid temperatures in Pittsburgh at Haley's in Holmes Beach. We brought our dogs along and the stay in Cottage A was perfect for all - clean, spacious and accommodating. The whole experience of fishing from one of the piers, fishing out in the Gulf (advice from Tom of Haley's), the Ringling Museum on the only day it rained (suggested by Eric of Haley's), and taking the furry ones to DeSoto Park to romp on the beach with birds and other dogs, made the whole experience worth the drive. I would absolutely stay at Haley's whenever I go to the Gulf.

Room Tip: If you are bringing dogs with you Cottages A or B are perfect

“Old Florida Charm in Holmes Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

Haley's is a great place to stay if you are in the area for a quick trip! Right up the street from the beach, you can walk one block down for gorgeous sunrise and sunset walks, not to mention a beautiful sandy beach. The Hotel staff is accommodating, and welcoming. We had a hotel room that provided a full kitchen. I am not sure if all the rooms have kitchens, but there are a variety of rooms, from cottages, to suites, to one room efficiencies. Even though, we were only staying two nights, it came in handy for morning coffee, and making lunches.

Haley's has all sorts of beach gear on their front patio, which can be used by the guests: towels, plastic buckets, beach chairs, and even a beach cart to take the gear down to the beach.

The staff of this hotel is wonderful, from the manager to the housekeeper to the maintenance guy.

They have a secret garden which I discovered while exploring, and it looks like a small community room where you could have a catered event, perhaps a wedding, but I would check with the motel staff. Also, a pool, and some lovely rock gardens.

Don't hesitate, stay here for a lovely beach week or weekend in Holmes Beach/Anna Maria Island area.

“Wonderful trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We enjoyed our stay at Haleys motel room 7. The room was clean, the dishes came in handy, we liked having a refrigerator and microwave oven and coffee maker, the bed was comfortable. We liked being close enough to the water to take early morning walks on the beach and watch the sunset. We also liked being close to the trolley stop … we never had to get in our car again until we left which was a definite positive.

“Haley's Motel... love it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

I have been coming to AMI since I was born and I have always stayed at relatives beach houses. So when I decided to try out Haley's, I was a little concerned. But, they are the best... and especially when you want to take a quick trip down for a couple days... perfect place and perfect location on the North end of the Island. The rooms are so darling and very clean!! I would absolutely recommend it to family and friends and we will be back soon!!
