Calming
As a former resident of Jacksonville, i loved the beaches then as now. Especially that private park that charges a small fee. waded in the water.
Surrounding restaurants and bars were plentiful!
Beautiful!
Hotel was everything.. neighborhood quaint and charming..a great get-a-way experience.
The city has a cozy feel. Unfortunately the weather did not permit any beach time, but we enjoyed walking from the hotel to AB Restaurant for a wonderful dinner. Many things are within walking distance.
Proximity of all necessary conveniences. No need to drive.
Near Mayport Naval Base.
Love the beaches!
Love the beaches!
Front desk customer service was OUTSTANDING!
Fun restaurants and bars. The beach was beautiful and very clean. A perfect location to relax and team build.
Atlantic Beach was very friendly and sociable place to visit. I would return again in a heartbeat.
Need parking for public. Saturday, the only day we could go to the beach, the entire area blocked for a dancing the street party and vendors everywhere. All public parking areas were closed and Tow away zones everywhere else. So, we had to travel to Jacksonville Beach. Will not try Atlantic/Neptune Beaches again. Not public friendly. Seems people only want neighbor patrons as a private beach area for themselves.
