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.

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!

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.

Even though it's a little outdated the rooms were clean and functional.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.

I love that it is retro…..not many places like this. The murals in the rooms are so beautiful and unique. We’ve stayed there four times so far. The beach is right there. It’s easy to get to St. Augustine. Absolutely love it!!
