I had a pleasant stay overall at Beachside Motel - Amelia Island. The location is fantastic, being just steps away from the beach, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the rooms could use some updates and a microwave would have been a nice touch. It was a perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway, despite some minor inconveniences.

The small pool was nice and clean, and I loved the complimentary beach towel for use at the beach or pool. However, the overall complex shows signs of age and could benefit from some freshening up.

My recent stay at Beachside Motel was good! The rooms were exceptionally clean and well-equipped, offering a cozy atmosphere. While the location was fantastic, just steps from the beautiful beach, I found the nearby dining options somewhat limited, with only one restaurant within walking distance. Overall, it was a charming getaway that I'd love to revisit. 🌊✨

The pool was warm and well-kept, and I enjoyed the clean lounge chairs. The whole place had a nostalgic vibe, being an older motel that has been nicely renovated. However, I see it's still showing some age.

My stay at Beachside Motel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with beautiful views, making it ideal for beach lovers. However, the motel is quite dated and in need of some renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom areas, which left much to be desired. Although the service was friendly and check-in was smooth, I couldn't overlook some of the outdated amenities.
