Comfortable Nostalgia
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.

Surfside Six
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.

Great oldie but goodie
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.

Nice place
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!

Nice little place for the money.
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!

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.

2/10 Poor

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.
