Friendly staffGreat locationClean room despite age
SuzannAbsolutely loved this little place! Nostalgic vibes. Older but super clean and staff is amazing
PaulThe staff was welcoming, the location cannot be more central, super close to the beach, groceries, restaurants. The building is old and has a little musty smell, the bed is not very comfortable but i still loved it and…
Gary3 night stay. No maid service. Good beds at least. Air conditioning was minimal. Thank goodness for ceiling fans. If I go back will stay somewhere else
KrisCute old motel
Was a quick stop, we are traveling to Texas. Cute old motel. Bed was super comfy
MichelleSurprised by ratings on here
I felt like I was in Schitt's Creek. Very old, nit updated at all, but close to the beach.
LisaHalf the outlets didn't work and the cable was intermittent. Was definitely not worth the almost $400 we spent for 2 nights

Questions about Magic Beach Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Magic Beach Motel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Magic Beach Motel allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at Magic Beach Motel?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Magic Beach Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Magic Beach Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Magic Beach Motel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Magic Beach Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
