I enjoyed my stay here, lovely island, beach, homey vibe. I wish I could have stayed. The staff are sweet and friendly—warm. They run the business with little to no fancy technology and it matched the vibe. ||Amazing for my needs.

I booked this motel based on previous reviews which did not lie. This place is a gem. Small mom and pop place that provides better service than some large four star hotels. We visited in late August when school had already begun, so it was a slower time of year. The price definitely reflected that but also had me concerned about the quality. Do not be concerned. We booked the mid priced room and in addition to it being fairly large it was very nice. Room service daily . We were steps away from the pool which was steps away from the beach . Cannot see the beach from the pool because all of the beaches on Amelia island have dunes, which in Florida is great protection. We are already looking forward to returning. If you are not looking for a five star resort , but instead for a quiet getaway, this is the place for you. Note: chairs and umbrellas not available But I expect you could rent them somewhere .

This charming little motel is an absolute gem! With just a handful of rooms, it offers a peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The pool is lovely, and best of all—it’s right on the beach! The beach path is just steps away and super easy to access. The rooms are spotless and cozy, with some featuring kitchenettes. Every room includes a fridge and microwave, which is a great convenience. The staff is warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. I’ve stayed here several times over the years and keep coming back—it’s truly a favorite!

Good location for the car show. Reasonable rate for the event. Staff was super courteous and helpful. My room was spotless. The only ding is that the AC unit was pretty noisy.

Perfect Beachside Stay! I had a fantastic stay at this motel and would absolutely come back again. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach, which made it super easy to enjoy sunrise walks and afternoon swims. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet, which made for a great night’s sleep. The price was very reasonable, especially considering the amenities and proximity to the ocean. The staff really made the experience stand out. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming—from the front desk to the housekeeping team. You can tell they care about the guest experience. I also appreciated the free morning coffee and snacks—just enough to start the day right without needing to rush out for breakfast. Overall, a great find. Highly recommended if you're looking for a relaxed, affordable beachside stay with great service.

Great little hotel... Front desk staff super friendly, especially Lisa she was so sweet. Had a great view and could walk down to the beach right from my room. Nice restaurant and bar right across the street. This little hotel is right on the ocean has a pathway leading you right down to the beach. Some rooms have a small kitchenette with a mini fridge and stove and a dining table. Very centrally located and a very safe area
