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.

Definitely our favorite beach motel in Florida! Very quiet and safe. A quick walk to either the beach, restaurants and grocery store. The rooms are very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The few times we have been there all of the staff has been friendly, outgoing and very helpful.

Terrible bathroom

The bathroom is so tiny, no towel bars. I fell in the bathroom and broke my ankle. I missed all the tours I had booked and missed seeing the lights. If you are elderly or not in the best physical health do not stay here. St. Augustine rescue team were extremely professional and very kind

St Augustine

We like to stay here as it is near the beach. And a nice Publix. Drive to historic area of St Augustine is short. No breakfast. Old fashioned but clean. Rooms painted fun colors.

Quaint property right on the beach and right across the street from shopping. Not fancy, but the space was great for kids. The floors could use cleaning.

I always enjoy casual retro style motels. The room assigned at check in turned out to have an electrical problem. The three of us in our family had unloaded the car and unpacked when the power went out. The front desk attendant was quick to come to the room and flip a breaker switch, which I had not noticed before the power went out. I should have mentioned that it was nighttime and dark outside. We carried on with our evening for a few minutes before the power went out again. I knew where the breaker box was by this time, so I just flipped it again. Then it dawned on us that every time we turned anything on, the breaker tripped. I ended up flipping the breaker switch about 10 times before I called the front desk and told the attendant about our issue. The only possible solution at this point was to repack and move to another room. It was extremely inconvenient, but we did it. The room we moved to was fine and everything worked properly. No compensation was offered for the inconvenience. Otherwise, the visit was pleasant.

The hotel and room were clean, just need updating. It's a good thing I was traveling alone since the mattress was very well used... sagging in the middle
