explore st augustine with easy beach access and local dining

the beach is just a few steps away, making it super easy to enjoy the sun and sand, while several great restaurants are within a short stroll, so you can satisfy your cravings after a fun day of exploring the city.

i recently spent one night at a cozy motel just steps from the beach, and it truly exceeded my expectations. the friendly staff made me feel at home, and the clean room was just what i needed for a quick getaway. the location was perfect for exploring st augustine.

the air conditioning was quite loud.

We had a lovely stay with spacious rooms that had comfy beds and a nice little kitchen area. The pool was clean and perfect for lounging, and beach chairs were available for our use, making beach time so easy. Only downside was the somewhat cramped parking situation, but it didn’t ruin our fun! 😊

The retro charm of this hotel is delightful, with clean rooms that come equipped with a powerful hot water heater and a mural that adds a nice touch. A quick one-minute stroll to the beach provided beautiful sunrises each morning. However, the parking situation is a significant hassle, with insufficient spaces for guests and housekeepers taking spots. Additionally, there were some misunderstandings regarding the pet policies, leading to unexpected charges upon arrival.

The charming retro vibe really took me back, with lovely neon decor and easy access to the beach. The quaint atmosphere made it exceptionally inviting, making my stay feel warm and homey.

More comfortable seating options for seniors, please.

I adored the retro charm of the Magic Beach Motel, Vilano Beach, Saint Augustine. The vibrant neon decor and proximity to the beach made for a delightful stay, enhancing the nostalgic atmosphere that felt comfortably familiar.

Additional seating options for seniors would be appreciated.

The walls are thin, so noisy neighbors might keep you up at night. Parking can be tricky with limited spaces, and instructions for using the shower weren't clear, making it frustrating to figure out. The microwave in the room looked rusty and needs replacing, casting doubts on its safety. Also, the air conditioning was a bit loud, which might disturb light sleepers.

Magic Beach Motel has a prime spot just steps from Vilano Beach, perfect for those sunny days! We savored delicious Greek wraps for lunch and the staff were super friendly, always ready to lend a hand. Oh, and the sunrises? Absolutely gorgeous!

Parking was a hassle and our room felt more like an extension rather than a full suite. Check-in was a bit chaotic with delays, and we battled a stubborn shower that came with zero instructions. A winning stay, but we were ready to move along.

great stay but minor noise issues

The staff was accommodating when I requested a quiet room, and they really delivered. The room's beach-themed decoration was charming, making the atmosphere incredibly pleasant.

The thin walls did lead to some noise disruption from neighboring rooms.

We had an awesome time with friends! The beach was just a short walk away, and we loved checking out the Fountain of Youth and the Oldest Wooden School House. The breakfast was tasty, and our room had everything we needed. One parking spot was secured for us, which was nice because we had multiple cars. Definitely plan on visiting again!
