I have stayed at Vilano Beach Motel, also known as Magic Beach Motel, several times over the last several years and I have no reason to stay anywhere else in the area. Although the building is old and not fancy like the chains, the value is great. I have a family with teenagers and they loved the close proximity to... more

I love vintage properties and have reasonable expectations, knowing (in fact, hoping) that it will not be like staying at a modern or traditional hotel. My own vintage apartment is a little run down, but that's part of its charm, so I'm usually not one to complain. Unfortunately, the Vilano Beach Motel demonstrates that there's a big difference between shabby... more

My 14 year old daughter, her friend and I spent the last two days of their spring break at this motel. I had smirked at its flamingo and rabbit decor for years when I stayed at another local motel which is beachfront but whose prices continually increase. I asked the girls if they would prefer one night at the previously... more

There were several good recommendations for a "retro" 50's style Florida Motel on the beach on this site. The ones who rated it as horrible were the truthful ones! This place is a tiny dump that feigns as retro. It has just never been updated with modern plumling and accomodations!! more

As a writer I look for places that are so unique and storytelling to inspire my creative passions to write. ([--]) The people may appear to common simple folk and even at times overtly partying. But the truth is the couple that runs this, do a great job. It's not the Sheraton, or the Hilton. It's like the sign says... more

WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! The Vilano Beach Motel could be a wonderful, little place on the beach IF the owners took the time to renovate the property, inside and out. The motel itself is cute and the rooms are huge, but the accommodations are disgusting. Nothing in our unit (number 5) worked! The plug in the bathroom was shot, so... more

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Vilano Beach Motel. The rooms were very clean and look as though they had just been remodeled. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to bring food and cook, since the room had a nice sized kitchen which included cookware and dishes. I have a reservation for March and... more

We are dog lovers and we love St. Augustine, generally a dog-friendly place. Two years ago we decided to take our dog on vacation with us, but we didn't have enough money to stay at the pricier b&b's that allowed pets. This motel was listed in the "dog lover's companion", which has generally given good advice on dog-friendly places. The... more

I agree with one of the other trip advisors. This is a halfway house for some. We had roaches in our room that was 3 inches long. The refrigerator was full of mold and the air conditioner that was almost falling out of the wall did not work. I leaned on the sink in the bathroom and it almost fell... more
