This is just what we wanted. It is an adorable property. We loved the neon! All the necessities were there and done well. Everyone was friendly and helpful and really interested in making our stay as pleasant as possible. It is an easy walk to the beach, the grocery store and simple, but good restaurants. Excellent for our get away... More

The hotel was clean, the pool was beautiful, and the location was superb. One block away from the beach, one block away from the publix and shops. The people who work here were so helpful and very nice. We'll be coming back!

Our suite was super clean! I can't imagine keeping these places right next to the beach free of sand, because every time we walked in we had sand on our shoes-we kept our shoes by the door but still, we tracked sand in.

This is a renovated 1950's motel about a three minute walk from Vilano's beach. We splurged on the most expensive room ($139 per night). It had two beds a large bathroom with a tiny shower, but a huge jacuzzi tub. There was also a balcony with a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. The property is immaculate and a great value... More

I tried several times to send this email via the motel's website -- the Contact Us form -- but each time was told the message failed to send.

Trip was not off to a good start when our room was not ready at the promised time, but the desk mgr. made it right by giving us an upgrade ocean view jacuzzi room. We stayed in Room 205 which has a great hand painted mantee mural as a backdrop for the bed with a tropical clad bedspread. The room... More

Found nothing but good reviews for Magic Beach before we booked and must say that it lived up to all of them. The rooms were spotless and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the decor was fun and definitely retro. We had an ocean view, and were only a short walk to the beach. All of the staff were friendly... More
