Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
The open air bar with the view to the ocean is special. There is a fun vibe to the hotel. The food and beverage choices are excellent. Not typical of hotel food. Location is very good. I like the valet parking. It keeps your car safe and there is limited parking at the beach. Nice rooms. I will stay ...

Guy Harvey Resort on St Augustine Beach
Amazing location with super friendly and helpful staff! Breakfast was lovely here. Nice beach trolley that stops in front of hotel where there's free parking! Doesn't get better than this folks. Building did feel somewhat dated and could use some TLC throughout, but otherwise a true gem!
