Why The Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa Should Be Your Next Family Vacation Destination

Disclosure: We were provided mentioned products. I was not compensated in any other way. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you have never been to the Northeastern part of Florida, I highly recommend it for your next family vacation destination! Tucked away in St. John’s county, is a beautiful town called, Ponte Vedra Beach. It is conveniently located just 18 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville and 26 miles north of St. Augustine. Just a short 30 minute drive from the JAX airport. Beautiful beaches and gorgeous Florida weather is what you’ll find here. 

We had the opportunity to visit the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa, along “Florida’s Historic Coast” and it did not disappoint, in fact it succeeded our expectations leaps about bounds.

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa Villas and Rooms 

They have 514 guest rooms, suites and villas on property. The main hotel rooms and Premium Service Wing rooms and suites have been recently renovated and upgraded including the comforts of homes. They include mini fridges, desks and stunning views. 

If you are traveling with a larger family the villas are your best option! I LOVE hotels that offer this when traveling with 3 kids. Its a large suite offering plenty of space for everyone. You will find a kitchenette, living room, dining area and a king sized bedroom with bath. You can have the connecting room that offers 2 beds and an extra bath, something that is a must for us when we travel. The private patio offers amazing views as well.

Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa AMAZING Food and Restaurants 

The foodie in you is going to LOVE their restaurants! We had the pleasure of dining at the American Gator club, its a casual almost poolside with amazing views of the lagoon and golf course. 

Then there is Vernon’s where you can have breakfast and dinner. The food was amazing! This was a special treat for the kiddos since the chef took them to make some special pizzas. 

Lastly we dined outside at Alice & Pete’s pub. A casual dining spot to have dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. 

The food did not disappoint one bit! There was something for everyone which is always a plus when traveling with picky eaters.
