Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
Nice room. It was able to sleep 5 adults, with 2 beds and a pull out couch. Huge bathroom but had a small walk in shower. Balcony was very narrow and is not able hold any chairs to sit, only standing room. Plenty of restaurants and the pier is near by to either fish or chill out.

Wyndham Garden Jacksonville
I only stayed for a quick overnight, but the staff was very friendly and kind, and my room was clean and comfortable. Some stuff in the building is a little old, but the maintenance team is clearly working hard to keep everything running well. It's not clearly marked, but there is parking behind ...
