Big Talbot Island State Park Vacations from $236

Away from most noise. Like the business area.

This was a perfect place to stay, to get to know the area as we were looking for our new house around the community.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights in the lodge in an Ocean View 2 queen bed room. The room was clean and well maintained. The view overlooking the golf course and ocean was wonderful. It was a short walk to the water park and restaurants. We really enjoyed the resort

The building is beautiful and is situated right by the St. John's Riverwalk and the Friendship Fountain, which are gorgeous. It was quiet and the room was clean. However, the bathroom was very small and the tub/shower was very awkward and difficult to get in and out of safely. There was no counter space and it was difficult to get hot water without losing water pressure. There was no refrigerator in the room and no streaming options on the TV. Overall, since we had other things to do in Jax and spent a limited amount of time in the room, we just dealt with it, but it was far from the best hotel experience I've had.

I checked in at 11:30 pm. The floor of my shower was still wet and had a little hair in it. Once I started the shower I realized why it was wet. The water was just about flooding my bathroom. Breakfast is also a la carte but it was good.
