It is so tired looking. Needs a coat of paint. Kitchen had no spoons, forks one plate and a very small refrigerator. Had to ask for a toaster. Was walking distance to the beach.

Nice place, but they really need to fix how those windows are built because the light comes in soon. As the Sun comes up, the cleaning could have been a lot better as well, but it was nice overall but it needs some serious updates. I think they charge quite a bit for a place that needs a lot of updates

It was a cozy little room that was close to the beach. The bed was really comfortable.

I loved the quiet, beachy feel of Magic Beach. It made me feel connected to simpler times and the beach vacations our parents and grandparents used to take. It was nice to park right in front of our room and get to things very easily. We had a kitchen which was a plus. The room itself was quiet and comfortable. The beds were perfect. Every day, we walked out the door to the beach just steps to the east. There is a view of the lighthouse and island just past the large rocks. There is a perfect view of the lighthouse shining at night, from the beach or a paved parking spot along the causeway. If you have four wheel drive, you can even drive and park on the sand. We drove across the bridge to downtown and all of the sights. There is so much to do within a few minutes of the hotel. We will be back!

Was perfect. Right on the water. Nostalgic gem. They went above and beyond to accommodate us traveling with a boat.

This is a funky, retro type of motel that reminded us of the 60's. The room was clean & the bed was very comfy, but bathroom was on the small side. Our 1 night stay was good & I appreciated the remote control device for lights & fan. It would be good to have a vending machine fir water & beverages, but the man on duty when we checked out gave us his bottles of water - very nice & much appreciated! It was a cute little place right next to the beach.

Location is perfect. Steps to beach. Cute, vintage look. Room was a great size for a family with an extra bedroom. Great for a weekend away.

Great stay. Office staff was extremely awesome. We love staying here.
The only kickback was the towels smelled moldy and there was some mold on the wall which I know can be an issue for hotels on the beach.

The motel itself is certainly a little dated but overall the price for what you get was great. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Would still recommend to anyone just looking for a reasonable price to lay their head beachside!

It's an old school Florida motel. Rooms have age but also personality. If that is what you are looking for, it's a good one among the 10s of old motel I stayed at in Florida. Old but well maintained. Great staff. Amazing location. More than fair priced for a location 100 feet from the beach. Small restaurant options in a walkable distance. But many great options within 10 min drive. 12 minutes from old St. Augustine.

The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The room is cute! For the price, it’s worth it. The only complaint I had was that the ocean was not closer. But we could see it around buildings and hear it with our door open so that worked! We will stay again!

This property could really be something, it could really capitalize on it's kitsch but instead it is just another run down motel albeit one with a cute neon sign (although two of the bunnies are burned out).
I had high hopes for this stay because we have stayed at similar properties that are old but made the effort to make themselves special by making minor cosmetic improvements and having a cool vibe. The cooktop in the kitchen of our unit was absolutely disgusting, the microwave lining was peeling away to reveal what looked to be rust or the metal casing beneath the inner material, the bathroom wasn't exactly sparkling, the furniture was old and musty and when I opened the dresser the forgotten clothes of the former guest were still there. Having to fish out someone's obviously worn socks and underwear is not my idea of a vacation. The only good part of the room was the bed seemed newish and was comfortable but the idea of bedbugs did cross my mind. This room was nowhere near the caliber it needed to be at the pricepoint I paid. I could have stayed at a nearby motel for $67 per night, it couldn't have been any worse than this and half the price I paid. Also, the pool was not well maintained, peeling surfaces and no towels at the pool and no umbrellas, chairs were dirty. As I said, for this pricepoint they should make some improvements. Very disappointed at the price I paid. Also my reservation said paid in full- I checked before arrival- yet was charged upon check in.

The outside balcony and proximity of the Vilano Beach pavilion on the ocean - wonderful. Now for the rest of the story = We had to wait for check in, but there was a phone number to call.. The room is very small and SPARSE - Very little furniture. Two hangers in the "make shift closet". One night stand. The rug was HORRIBLE. Dog Pee Stains all over it - FILTHY. The bed itself was firm but comfortable. Two thin towels and two tiny soaps. etc...you get the point. Nothing for "the kitchen" - and the fridge works off and on., But the WORST thing, besides the filthy carpet, is that the A/C is programmed (not kidding) to turn off at midnight. So - the room becomes unbearably HOT. If you get up and turn it on it works for maybe 30 minutes then shuts off again. We were told that others complained but that some people don't notice. The staff is WONDERFUL" - all the staff are kind, but helpless."
Oh yeah - The bath tub runs water constantly - shower is mini...Or, lets say, don't try to move or wash your hair.
Never going Back Again = Sing it.
