Cozy Spot

I have stayed there several times before over the years. It’s a sweet place! It’s only a 2 minute walk to the beach which is the best perk! I wish they would fix the neon sign with the name, rabbits and top hat. It’s been mostly out in recent years. Unfortunately, next door they’re building one of those gentrified communities next door. I’m an astrology/astronomy geek and my sole purpose was to see Venus, Jupiter, Sirius, Mercury and the Sun rise (between 4and 7am). Unfortunately, it was pouring with thunder and lightning. When it stopped raining it was totally overcast and some lightning.

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.

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.

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!
