1. Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach/Oceanfront, for Jacksonville Beach access

Hotel, Chain Hotel

Perfect for all sorts of watery pleasures, this hotel offers a heated lagoon-style pool with four waterfalls and a whirlpool grotto, and then you only have to step out the front door to dig your toes into the white sand of Jacksonville Beach. The room decor echoes the aquatic theme, with sea-blue carpets and statement walls. The large, comfortable beds are perfect for a night of refreshing sleep, and each room and suite has a private balcony, either with dune or ocean views.

2. Four Points by Sheraton Jacksonville Beachfront, for handcrafted beachside cocktails

Hotel

Bang on Jacksonville Beach, you’ll get ocean views from your balcony and bright and fresh rooms that look to the beach for inspiration for their decor, with blond-wood accents and aquamarine walls. Dine out on American classics at the Eatery, while looking out over the long expanse of white sand and foam-crested waves. Sip a handcrafted cocktail or a craft beer at the Brew, or its neighboring Bar 360 – both in the expansive lobby – but if neither of those tickle your fancy, opt for the carefully selected wine list.

3. Element Jacksonville Beach, for self-caterers

The hotel itself doesn’t have a restaurant but nearby dining options include Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Waffle House.

5. Margaritaville Beach Hotel, for signature frozen margaritas

The owners of this hotel have clearly gone with a tropical island theme and ran with it a few miles – with turquoise walls, bright aquamarine carpets with large patterns and artwork depicting tropical scenes and foliage being de rigueur in the rooms. Many rooms have balconies, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame either full or partial views of the ocean. New York bagels, caesar salad and other quick bites can be had at Joe Merchant’s Coffee and Provisions, while LandShark Bar & Grill serves fish sandwiches, tacos, salads and seafood snacks, as well as a steady flow of signature frozen margaritas as big as your head.
