What guests think

Aqua View Motel is a budget, mom and pop style property steps from the beach, praised for its welcoming staff, convenient quiet location near St. Andrews, and a clean outdoor pool, though it shows its age in places.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with some finding rooms tidy while others report sand, stained linens, odors, or occasional bugs. Rooms are basic and vary in size; repeated comments cite weak air conditioning, low shower pressure, and limited hanging or storage space, alongside occasional maintenance issues like worn mattresses or bunk bed problems. Best for travelers seeking a straightforward base.

Great place for staying for a couple of days, you have the beach really close and a gas station in front of it in case you need something to eat. Pool was in great shape and the staff was super friendly!

Casual motel stay. Staff was very nice. Room was clean. No bugs. Pool nice and clean. Short, convenient walk to the #2 beach access. Ice and laundry was convenient to access. Non-busy location, very quiet. My only gripe was the AC, it was hot in the room. Overall, would return in future :)

The hotel is old so this needs to be taken in consideration. But the linen was stained and the comforter had a burn spot in it. Floor was dirty. We bought blankets and pillows and slept on top of theirs. Location is great just needs modernization. For the price it’s what you would expect.

Hotel looked to have had some work done updating the condition of the room. It was very dirty with cockroaches greeting me when I opened the door. The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke and this is supposed to be a non-smoking room. On a positive note, the bathroom shower was great! A walk-in shower with plenty of room.

The room wasn’t very clean the bedsheets were stained and the floor was very sandy as well as the sofa and the microwave did not work and housekeeping is an extra charge. Now, I guess you get what you pay for, but what we really liked was that is super close to the beach is literary a 2 minute walk and The pool that it goes From 3ft to 9ft deep, so the rooms might not be the best, the location and convenience of walking to the beach is a huge plus.

I thought the room was adequate for my needs. Close to the beach, big enough for my family, and a great pool to end my beach day. But I felt that the toilet and sink were small and cramped, the water pressure was weak in the shower, and the air conditioning unit was not sufficient to cool such a large room which made it unbearable to sleep during the night. We considered checking out in the middle of the night and heading back home. Lastly, there were no outlets in the bathroom to plug-in, a hairdryer, or a curling iron, and none outside the room by the large mirror as a alternate area, if not in the bathroom. Overall, the room was OK, but it would’ve been much better if the air conditioner worked properly.

We booked a family room. I paid in full online. Once we arrived at the motel, I had to pay additional $60 for a deposit after paying in full before we could get our room. The room I saw online and booked is not the room we were given. The room we stayed in, the floor was gritty with sand, the closet didn't have a rod to hang clothes, The air-conditioner only blew in the bedroom. The room I booked, beds were supposed to be a queen, a full, and 1 set of bunkbeds. The room we were given had 2 full bed and a set of bunkbeds. The bedroom needed a trashcan. The bathroom towels were small and there were only 2 wash rags. Before leaving, I pulled sheets and spreads off the beds to find all the mattress covers had stains on them as if they were not removed from the last occupant. My husband complained about the receptacles not being in the right place. He had to lay his phone on the floor to charge. Thank you for your time. I hope they will address these issues before they lose business. They lost ours.

So we got a family room for 9 people. And it had bunk beds. When the kids that were small kids like 6 year olds was going to go to bed the bunk beds that were metal was falling through on the top bunk so we had to double up on bottom bunks and get a cot from the office. It was terrible

The area around the property is at the quiet end of the beach and convenient to Grand Lagoon (better restaurants with reasonable prices the what is on Front Beach road). The only downfall is that there is still some tornado damage to surrounding structures in the area. The Aqua View motel is NOT damaged. This is an older motel that has gone through several renovations. The flooring is recent and well as the bathroom tile and shower tile. This place is not directly on the beach but it is literally a two minute walk to the beach. For the price, this place is a good deal.
