Being a vacation home owner I am very particular, especially about cleanliness. You always expect a little rust or beach in your room when you are this close to the ocean, but the room was spotless. Considering the age of the motel, you would never have known it by the condition. The Surf Restaurant is directly across the street, had... More

Best kept secret on Amelia island. Yes it is just a motel but for the money you wont find a cleaner more maintained spot to stay. Very friendly staff and oceanfront rooms have a great view. Pool is very clean also.

I stayed the weekend at Beachside Motel. It was very clean. It is an old style Florida hotel which I really liked. Quiet property with clean pool, easy access to the beach and decent rooms. It had more than I expected. In addition to the 2 double beds there was a small table with 2 chairs, kitchenette with frig and... More

Beachside is a charming older motel. Great beach access and wonderful views of the ocean from our room. Be sure to get up and watch the sunrise. Rooms are older but clean and staff is friendly. Nice pool and restaurants within walking distance. Sorry we only had one night to spend there...will be back!

Real keys for the room doors (when's the last time you saw that?); front desk closes down for the night; "patio" is two plastic chairs in the walkway between rooms, but we loved it. Average-sized rooms; ocean view; clean, comfortable; friendly helpful staff; cheap TV in the regular rooms (the "penthouse" had a nice flat screen); Nice pool; pretty short... More

On the beach and in the middle of the island. Old school motel with lots of trucks in the parking lot. Very convient to everything. Staff very friendly. Efficiency room larger than expected. I imagine the rooms on the second floor are quieter than the first floor.

We were looking for a simple place to stay with our family for a short trip to the beach with no deposits or cleaning fees. The staff was friendly and our room was clean. The motel is old, and could use some updating, but it served the purpose that we needed. Our bed was comfortable and our room did not... More

Friendly staff, simple and clean rooms. Sand walk way right to the beautiful beach ! They have a nice pool, but it was a little chilly for swimming at the end of November. Price is right for a simple place to stay right on the beach, and not a far drive to the quaint down town, with shopping and nice... More
