This property is an incredible value. It certainly has some age on it, but it's super clean and so very convenient to the beach. There's also a lovely beachside pool. The price can NOT be beat. I love the old Florida vibe. Wonderful restaurant just across the road too.

I travel frequently and I can say I was little hesitate booking a motel. I have only stayed at a motel 2 times in my adult life. I chose the Beachside Motel bc it had a pool and it had direct beach access. I can say I enjoyed my weekend stay at the property. It was clean and accommodating and quiet and check in was amazing and easy…I highly recommend booking this property if your looking for something quaint, quiet and direct beach access. I will def be using then again.

Staff was very nice. Stayed 5 days in balcony room. No microwave, definitely a motel as listed. Small and kinda cramped for a family of 5. Bathroom is very small. Knees touch door if using restroom. Ac worked great, beds were comfortable. Did kill some bugs but staff was very concerned when I told them. (Cockroach and spider). I would stay again if I can find a better price than $1500.

Beachside Motel is just simply awesome. The rooms are clean, updated with great beds and bedding and the rooms smell clean when you walk in. It is super close to the beach and the pool by the beach is awesome too. Fresh coffee in the lobby with snacks is nice too. We will definitely return. A hidden gem in the heart of Amelia Island !!

We will be back next year! Beachside was perfect for our family of 3! Easy access to the beach, a relaxing pool, and restaurants close by! The ONLY improvement I could come up with is the curtains…the sun peeked through the top of the curtain EARLY! LOL! We didn’t need an alarm clock! The staff were AMAZING! Super friendly and helpful and answered ALL my travel questions!!

Staff was wonderful! The room was decent….carpet was dirty, room smelled very musty, water only came out of about 12 holes in the shower head, bed squeaked every time you moved, pillows very lumpy, tv remote didn’t work (staff fixed next day)…tight parking mostly suitable for average cars (we drive a lifted truck)! Pros are it’s centrally located to most anything, the pool was nice and very close to the beach! Housekeeping brought towels everyday and made bed!

The only complaint I have about Seaside Motel was the small and outdated flat screen TV in the room. The motel was renovated several years ago, and the the rooms, grounds and pool area are very well maintained. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!

Worst smell ever witnessed and the so called bathroom! , AWFUL. Look i read so many 9 plus reviews for beach isle place and to have to spend a night here sickens me. Go ahead, stay here, at best you will learn not to trust expedia reviews again like me. Otherwise, knock yourself out.
