We will be back!
Magic Beach Motel was the perfect place for our long weekend getaway. A few hundred feet from Vilano Beach and less than 10 minutes from St George St and historical St Augustine. The pool was clean and felt amazing. The room had everything we needed minus a remote for the TV although we had a remote for the cable. The bathroom was spacious and had both a shower and jacuzzi tub. The jacuzzi portion of the tub did not function. However, the tub was great for a good soak! My only suggestion would be for a table or full vanity for space to put your toiletries. The bed was comfortable, the vibe was stellar, and the convenience made for the perfect, affordable destination!

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!

Convenient
I booked this place based on the room photos, which showed really cool, quirky murals in the rooms.
There were no murals in our room, and I’m not sure if they are in any room, so don’t count on it.
Otherwise, it was a nice spot. It’s an older Motel with the original outside decor and signage still intact. It’s also super close to the beach, though our room had no view whatsoever.

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.
