So this place has the potential to be a very great find it’s in a perfect location. I mean you can’t get any more perfect than where it’s at. It’s right on the beach you open your front door and you’re on the beach. The hotel has a 60s theme going. OK so the pool wasn’t heated, OK I can I can live without a pool But the rooms were a little dated if they fix up those rooms man it’d be a great place. These rooms were reminiscent of just maybe Florida in the 80s or 70s. The beds were comfortable and the shower though dated was the best hot shower spicket that I’ve had in a long time and it seemed it was endless! So if I’m traveling with my wife, I’m going across the street to the Hampton Inn. I’m gonna pay a bit more and get those amenities if I’m just traveling with some buddies and want just kind of lower budget trip but still pretty comfortable then I’m going there

Great location, close to the beach and just 3 minutes to the center of the town, by car. The property is clean, but needs updating to the bathroom, and furniture. Not bad for a night.

Great but no heat

Very cozy motel. Retro and unique. Room needs to have heat added as we were there during a cold snap and due to no heat, it was hard to sleep

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.

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.
