Definitely a good budget place to stay. Was clean and overall a safe place to stay and very convenient to downtown St. Augustine. Property could still use a little more updates, but it was very clean.
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.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was a last minute decision and we were able to get our room super quick. It’s an older motel however it was comfortable and convenient for us. We will be returning!
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.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room was outdated…. however, if I was traveling with my family &/or wanted to be super close to the beach I would definitely recommend this hotel for the price point!
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!
I loved the paintings in the rooms , it was comfortable, everything you needed. Great hospitality. Great location to the beach. I like that it was pet friendly. I brought my dog with me. I will definitely be back

Hopefully they don't tear down this icon. Great staff
Even though it's a little outdated the rooms were clean and functional. It's a shame that places like this are few and far between. Hopefully I can plan a stay here next year.

A step back in time! Great motel! Very close to the beach! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was pretty good. However it was not as clean as some other guests had rated. Still had a great time!
