This is an older place and by no means upscale. More a retro place. Close to beach and has chairs to sit outside the place.

We’ve been staying at the Magic Beach since the ‘90s. The property has been through several owners and many renovation. One thing that remains the same no matter what, is the charm of this place. There is a feeling, a vibe if you will, that has endured. The current owners continue to provide exceptional service and hospitality. Thank you! An easy walk to the beach, Publix, and several restaurants. Our recent stay was a relaxing three night getaway that was as enjoyable as our first stay those many years ago.

Cool place near the beach.
We had an enjoyable time at Magic Beach. Art deco, old school Florida motel. No frills, but a clean room, comfortable bed, nice pool and only a hundred steps to the beach. We had a small fridge and a microwave which we used. We parked right outside our door which was convenient for loading and unloading.

First, the good..the location. Steps to the beautiful Vilano beach. Also within walking distance of supermarket , marina and a few nice coffee shops and restaurants. The bad..filthy! Stained sheets, overwhelming smell of must, dog food and hair in tbe bathroom...we showed the staff who came to bring us extra towels and she could have cared less. Love the location but never again
