Top hotels in Brown Island
Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
It’s a nickel and dime type resort. My suite was 400$ a night (one night,check in Thursday late, check out Friday) just the fees alone. All the things they don’t list pushed it to 980ish. One night. It’s not worth it.

Wyndham Garden Jacksonville
Check in was at 4 but the room wasn't ready until 5pm. The room had an overwhelming smell of clearer when i 1st entered it. After the smell diminished, it was obvious to my son and I that someone had been smoking in the room. Both oders where in the room for the duration of our stay.

Amelia Hotel at the Beach
hotel is well positioned for beach access. But the hotel is too small with few amenities for the price point. Breakfast is adequate but not best.
