Wow, the Magic Beach Motel is an absolutely charming beachside gem that had us smiling like kids in a candy store during our stay a few weeks ago! The retro-chic rooms, twinkling courtyard lights, and super-friendly staff made it a fantastic coastal escape. We're already eager to return, it’s that delightful!

The staff was welcoming, the location cannot be more central, super close to the beach, groceries, restaurants. The building is old and has a little musty smell, the bed is not very comfortable but i still loved it and hope I can stay here again.

This motel has become one our favorite places to stay when we go to St. Augustine. The rooms are huge, it is steps from the beach, and there is plenty to eat within walking distance.

The staff was very friendly, very clean retro bungalow...dog friendly, such a unique gem. I hear its scheduled to be replaced by luxury condos...I think a petition to save it is the right idea. So sweet and relaxing, Thank you love from Donna

Fabulous little Art Deco property right in the beach. Friendly staff. Immaculate, great shower. Major condo construction immediately behind Magic Beach creates worries about the future of this gem. May it Survive and Thrive.
