Our favorite retro place to stay

When we visit St Augustine we love staying at Magic Beach 🏖️ . Ashley & the staff work hard & always are very welcoming. The location is the best, just steps to the beach. You can walk to everything at this side of Vilano Beach. The room is always clean & comfortable. We love that it is pet friendly.

Great location. You can walk out your door and be on the beach in two minutes. The room had no heater except for a space heater. It was very chilly when we were there. I've never seen a hotel/motel with no real heater.

Bed good, rest was yuck!

It is a kitschy little place. I booked 2 rooms for 5 family members. I paid for 2 king bed rooms as stated on Hotels.com. when we got there. we got 2 very small rooms only one had a one small window. King and a futon and a single bed under an outside stair well. Pool was small, ice cold and disgusting. At $240 a room it was a bit of a rip off. Only plus was a semi comfortable bed.

If you have a small kitchen you should provide soap, dish clothes, paper towels. One wash cloth in bathroom is not enough!!! Extra box of Kleenex is needed. Why have a phone in the room that doesn’t work and we were not told that! It needs a lot of work in the unit. The woman that checked us in was very concerned about the internet that we were not able to get access to and she did contact someone to get it back. Thank you to her.

This is a very old property and has virtually no amenities. It is well maintained and clean. It is right by the beach which is nice. It seemed to be safe. The staff were nice and friendly. The Wi-Fi was almost useless, the television had no premium channels and actually just a few channels anyway. It was definitely worth the price if you want something by the beach that is cost effective and not fancy.

We enjoyed our stay at the Magic Beach Hotel! The bed and bedding were VERY comfortable! We would love to stay there again in the future when visiting our family in St Augustine. We hope it that it is there for many years to come. The bathroom looked original which was charming and well taken care of despite of the shower being small. The only quirk I’d say is less than ideal is the dampness that most likely comes with being by the ocean. We will see you again next year! Thank you😊

Really cool old motel next to the beach. Reminded us of old Florida. The staff was super friendly and was close to lots of things to do.

Peaceful,1950's Charm, dog friendly, walk to beach

Book ahead, we had to stay somewhere else Saturday night as they were full. Loved walking short distance to Vilano beach, the pier, and restaurants. 1950's vibe, not fancy. Lots of room and storage space in kitchen area. Had larger freezer, refrigerator so we could keep dog's food frozen.

I interacted with the front desk associate and the housekeeper; both were warm, friendly and professional. The motel is cute and in an excellent location, one building back from the beach. It is easily walkable to restaurants and shops and both the river and the ocean. Though clean, the motel looked somewhat neglected. Half the letters in the neon sign were out. The carpet in our room (202) needs to be replaced ASAP. And the tub needs to be refinished. Dividers should be put up between rooms on the shared balcony to make it a series of private balconies. Also we could hear everything in the room next to ours.
