Classically Cute Motel!
Need a place to stay for an overnight in St. Augustine. The Magic Beach Hotel fit the bill. Its classic vibe was cute and gave us exactly what we needed. The kitchenette area allowed us to prepare what we needed and the access to the island as well as St Augustine was very convenient! Would definitely stay here again!

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 stay!
We had a wonderful stay. It was perfect for our family and just a few steps to the beach makes it a wonderful location. While it may not have all the upgraded amenities that your upscale hotels offer, the nostalgia of this place was what we enjoyed for the price during Spring Break. Our family doesn't need fancy to have a great time. It was perfect. It had a kitchenette, bathroom and 2 bedrooms with plenty of space to relax. We hope we are able to stay here again.

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.

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😊

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.

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.

Needs updates
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
