Retro, close to the beach, close to restaurants, the pier, Publix. The people at the hotel are helpful and attentive.

Our room had two queen size beds in two different rooms, the ac was only in one of the rooms. It was fine because the weather was beautiful, but in the middle of summer it may be harder for both rooms to stay cool.

I love a motel, and this didn't disappoint. It's a total gem in Vilano beach, and even though there's no Ocean View it's very close. The retro feel and decor was just awesome. If you're looking for luxury and modern amenities this is not the place for you, but if you want to visit a classic, try out the magic Beach motel! The air conditioning, television, shower all worked. Our suite had a very tiny and oddly stalked kitchen. The thing it was lacking was Linens and plates and Cutlery. You have to bring your own. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a grocery store right across the street and a great little diner called the Surfside kitchen.

We liked this sweet little Motel and it's location so much that we booked an extra two days.

The property was very cleaned, the room was cleaned and smelled really good. It was easy to find. Walking distance from Publix and the ocean. Dog friendly ($25 fee/day, excepted and understandable).

The only recommendations I have is to perhaps provide a pair of softer pillows. The bed brought 4 pillows and all were hard which caused some neck pain and headache. And the other thing would be a mat or rug at the inside entrance of the room so we have a dry place to stand and remove muddy wet or sandy wet shoes prior to walking into the rest of the room since it is all tile. Otherwise it was pretty good 😊

It was close to the beach and fishing pier My fiancee and explored the area. The beach was steps away which was nice. The Publix supermarket steps away also. The Staff upon check in Ashley I think her name was very nice ...overall the fishing pier was ok but NO CATCH We will give it another try in the future because it's proximity to the beach , fishing pier n St Augustine is absolutely a place to see.

I rented the room with the spa to unwind with a glass of wine after a 4 hour drive which did not happen. The spa was not working. After a phone call and assistance from front desk person it still did not work. I was disappointed n only refunded 12 dollars for the inconvenience UNBELIEVABLE.

Location was perfect. It's a retro motel. Very quaint

The dresser needed a little bit of cleaning inside Could use a lamp.

We absolutely loved the location and I thought it was more like a five star hotel not a two star everyone was very nice everything was very nice we enjoyed ourselves so much we stayed an extra night and we would like to come back there soon.

The only thing I had a problem with is the pet fee for $25 a day I think that gets a little steep if there is a cap you know usually somebody will say 25 a day up to you $100 or $200 my dog is only a little miniature schnauzer doesn't even shed I asked one of the girls I spoke with, she suggested I speak to Hal so when we have some plans that I'm planning on calling and speaking to Hal I hope. I may want to stay for a few weeks next time 😎🌴

I loved the art deco look to this motel . it fits in perfect with this beautiful old world beach atmosphere ! I loved the natural look and feel this area had to offer, the people were so kind and caring on and off the beach. We enjoyed church service that was offered by Beachside church on Sunday morning after a beautiful sunrise. The motel is aged but it is clean and meet all of our needs, the bed was very comfortable and we slept great. I would definitely recommend this place and it is very affordable.

I really can’t say I didn’t like anything about the property, it meets our needs and we enjoyed our stay , and booked another stay

Young lady at the front counter was great! The location is perfect, right beside the grocery store and the room comes with a kitchenette and dining table with 4 chairs. Floors are all clean and sand friendly. Could have used a broom in the room to clean up our own mess, sorry for the sand staff! Cutlery would have been useful in the kitchen but the front desk gave us a couple spoons. Beach was great, there's a foot wash station at the hotel that we missed last night. Beach is very accessible and this is the perfect spot. Would definitely stay here again, so happy we found it!

Unfortunately our son got food poisoning from the fried chicken at the Publiks next door. Nothing to do with the hotel. Facilities were great, but maybe skip the chicken next door if you're staying here.

This is a cute little hotel that is from travel days gone by. An older, charming hotel is what we wanted, what we expected, and why we choose to stay at the Magic Beach Hotel. This historic hotel is very well kept and up to date and yet maintains it’s nostalgic charm. If you want a unique place to stay that is close to the beach and easy on the wallet. However, if you are picky and intolerant of imperfections, there are few 2 & 3 rated more modern hotels just across the street if you are willing to pay twice as much.

There was NOTHING we didn't like about the Magic Beach Hotel!
