NOT Cute, Quaint, or Pleasant!
We booked a room at the last minute and, while the online reviews seemed okay, the actual rooms left a lot to be desired. We found mold on the ceiling and pubic hair, long hairs of various colors, and dog fur on all the sheets. The pillows were stained and smelled like an old vacuum cleaner, and the refrigerator was dirty. The mattress we slept on was an old spring mattress. We had to go to the Publix around the corner to get disinfectant and shower cleaner. I would not recommend this hotel.

Magic experience
Unit was clean, however, carpet was old thus dirt compacted into it. Floor was uneven, like padding was messed up or something. Was also hard to keep temperature stable. TV was also erratic, meaning signal was interruptive every few minutes. And finally, pillows were flat and hard to get a good sleeping experience.

From room 204's balcony we watched the new years eve fireworks show our balcony off this room gave us a perfect view ! Wished the tv was much larger that wouldve made this room perfect !

Great location...old room that needs some TLC.
Magic Beach Motel has an excellent location. Right by the beach and nice little shopping district. The motel needs some TLC. Our room didn't look like what we saw in the pictures with cool murals and funky vibe. Our room needed a coat of paint and some maintenance. The cupboards were coming loose, there was mold around the vent hood, spills of something on the walls, and patch jobs that weren't painted over. The room looked dingy. There were two chairs and a little table in the room. Functional but not comfortable. This was not a room you felt you could relax in. The cleanliness was ok...I think the maintenance issues made it seem unclean but it was really more dingy or uncared for. The location is great and it could really be amazing with some paint and TLC. I bet it was super cute in its prime! Overall...I wouldn't stay here again unless they made some updates.

Nice location, but...
It's about 100 yards to the beach and only a few miles to St. Augustine very good location. Our room was # 116. The bed was comfortable, it had a microwave and a kitchen sink which was nice. The room is a little worn out but if it was clean that would be ok it smells really musty. The worst thing was the dirty floor...really dirty, the little table was dirty and the shower had mold around the perimeter at the base as well as the bathroom door. It's too bad that all it really needs is a good cleaning. For that reason we wouldn't come back. There's no excuse for the cleanliness issue.

Property is outdated. Found several hairs around the room when we first arrived. It is located at a walkable distance from the beach and a Publix. About a 10 minute drive from downtown St. Augustine.
