Great little Motel on the beach
The Beachside Motel is one of my favorite places to stay in Fernandina Beach, only problem is… they STAY booked up! That’s how great this place is. Family owned, no frills, on the beach. Located directly across from The Surf restaurant. Rooms are always clean, well equipped with everything you need. Owners go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and have what you need. Location is excellent. Only a few miles from downtown. If you’re looking for an affordable, clean, comfy place on the beach. This is it! But don’t wait to long to make your reservations!

The room was very nice and very clean. Shower was hottest and had the most pressure of any i have ever had. Staff was very friendly and when I reported a light out in our kitchen it was fixed immediately. While not a condo it was just what weneeded for visiting for Thanksgiving. I highly recommend Beachside

Motel has 2 floors - small be quaint.A perfect spot for a mother - daughter trip to the beach. We felt like we were in a Mary Kay Andrew’s beach book! You could see the water from the balcony. We were only a few steps from the dunes to the OCEAN! Also very close to restaurants and shops.

We spent two nights there before leaving on a cruise from Jacksonville. There was a good seafood restaurant right across the street, and the beach was right there, a veey short walk from our room. Our room was very nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great value for the price!

This is by far my favorite place to stay away from home. Every single person working there treats you like family or long-time friend. They go above and beyond to make everything as perfect as it can possibly be. All truly wonderful people.

Great location right on the beach. A budget hotel experience by the beach. Pool is very cold. Shower is very nice. Pool furniture could be better. Friendly staff. The Surf is a pretty decent restaurant across the street.

I liked the location I liked the easy access to the beach. The restaurant across the street was and had very good food. Roast chicken was very good as was the pretzel. The room itself was very musty smelling and the bedsheets felt damp. The carpet was terrible felt gross under my feet to the point where I had a towel near the bed so I could wipe them off before I got n. The bed itself was comfortable pillows were just ok. The dampness and musty smell was just awful and I would not recommend this hotel or stay there again. It has great potential it’s just in desperate need of a renovation. Staff was great very friendly
