I am disapointed because I was promised a room on the end facing the water which we were not given.
Room is clean only here for two days so. I guess it isn't terrible .

Judging from the website and recently renovated I thought I would give it a shot. We break up our trip from summer house to S Fl and recently have been stopping in Amelia. Because of our fur baby options are limited. There were many obvious issues in our room which could be easily remedied by staff. I gave desk staff the list the next morning as a favor. This wouldn't be a place I would stay again and couldn't wait to leave but feel like if they upped their game it could be so much better.

Love this little gem of a hotel! Clean and quiet.
Our room was upstairs top facing ocean. Huge window views, big room. Nice fluffly pillows and everything except microwave in room. There is a microwave in lobby available to use. There is a ice machine and a coke machine too. Staff very nice and helpful. The private short walk down to the beach is awesome too, natural with lots of shells. The town has everything you need too! Lots of shopping!! Also i learned dogs are allowed on the beach on a leash too!! Would highly recommend staying here!!

Perfect stay ! Right on the beach with pool . Our ground level ocean view room was just right for us . We enjoyed sitting out on the grass in the evening . No frills but you can't beat the view & access to the beach . Will defiantly be back when I want to get away for a few days . Surf restaurant across the street was great . All the staff was very friendly . See ya soon

Didn't stay. Actually decided against it since they have an ILLEGAL policy against service animals.
I'll be informing Mayport and Jacksonville of this, and hopefully there will be a change in policy by this establishment forthwith.

Not 1 complaint. I am very ocd and this place is clean! No odors. AC works. Bedding clean. Bathroom clean. Beach is a very short little walk and we had the beach practically to ourselves! They even gave is a goody bag with foods in it when we arrived and took the time to show us a map and tell us some of the places they thought wed enjoy as tourists. Id stay here again

Right on the beach. Nice, clean pool. Room was cute. Also clean. Beds were comfy with 4 fluffy pillows on each bed. No microwave in room but they have one in the office you can easily use. Decent size fridge for a motel room. Staff is super friendly and very accommodating. We will be back.

The rooms were extremely clean the pool was nice. The lady at the front desk when we first got there was rude had we not made the reservation in advance we would not have stayed she her attitude was so nasty. The lady who came after she left was nice.

Right on the beach. Clean, comfortable.
Had a double queen with kitchen facing ocean. Great spot. Chairs in front of your room to sit and watch sunrise. Quiet.
Would stay again.

This hotel has amazing beach access and pool. However the room require a cleaning service improvement as we found ours needed Clorox wipes where hard surfaces were overlooked. The beds were semi-comfortable as the mattresses were worn. Partial renovations with disappointing upkeep.

What a great spot!
Directly on the beach.
What makes this motel special is the incredible customer service.
I arrived early and as I expected the room was not available yet. The owner walked me to the room and let me know it would be about 45 minutes.
We decided to walk the beach and I received a call in less than 30 minutes that we could come and check in.
They had two birthday cupcakes for us in the room (yummy)! They gave great suggestions for dinner!
We will definitely return! Great value and great service!

Very clean and right on the beach. Even though the weather was not perfect, was still a great place to stay. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. We were able to checkout an hour later and that made our trip even better.

We just got back from a stay at the Beachside Motel. Service at the desk was excellent, and the housekeeping staff was attentive. The rooms had recently been remodeled, and the walk-in shower was fantastic. The hotel is right on the beach, and the pool is a nice addition. A couple of downsides, though. The floors in our room were extremely slick from condensation, and I took a hard fall the first night. The staff was very concerned to find out how I was(which was fine, if a little stiff). I think they should put a sign up in each room telling guests that the floors can become slippery if the air

Nice small family run motel on the beach. Good prices for the area @90/night. The place has the basics for a stay but nothing fancy. Dog friendly BTW for an extra charge. Bring some ear plugs because it is loud from tragic going by, garbage truck dumpster early morning pickup and the wind off the beach. There is also nothing else her regarding a gym but they have coffee at 8am with some danishes if you want that. Overall a decent place to stay on the beach. BTW the signage is horrible to find in the dark so use GPS every time.

This place is a pretty clean and cheap (relatively) spot on the beach. I wouldn't recommend for a long stay- it is a spruced up motel but still a motel. However, it is directly on the beach and it has its own pool. It is definitely "older" but gets the job done.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Motel. The staff were super friendly and provided us with brochures and suggestions of things to do in the area. The location was ideal with a fantastic sandy walk to the amazing beach. The pool was inviting and well stocked with chairs and towels. The room was spacious and clean and provided all we needed for a nice short get away.

We thought this place was just fine. Great location right on the beach. Clean rooms. Decent pool. Great service. We tend to be pretty picky but if you're on a budget, this place is more than adequate. Its a motel for sure, so don't expect the Hyatt. Modest but a good value.

An inexpensive room on the beach? Heck yeah! This is a motel that seems to be family owned. The staff at the front desk were nice and accommodating. My uncle needed a room on the ground level, they made some changes and made it happen.
We had a nice room with a partial view of the ocean and pool. The room had a nice kitchenette type area with a sink, microwave and mini fridge. We had ample pillows, bedding and towels were sparse. The room and bathroom was a bit run down, which made it look and feel dirty.
The location and price were great, the room was not.
