Welcome to Jacksonville - one of the most populated yet relaxing cities in the southeastern United States. Jacksonville (or Jax as its known by locals) is the perfect getaway because it gives you the perfect mix of city and beach adventures in one. You can sit along any one of the countless beaches during the day - with 22 miles (35.4 km) of coastline, you have your pick of the lot. Then, at night, you can enjoy any one of the historic neighborhoods, explore the street art scene, or try one of the craft beers at a local bar! With so much to do, you’ll never want to leave and, fun fact - the city was named after former president, Andrew Jackson! So, grab some sunscreen and pack your bags because after seeing these Vrbo vacation rentals, you are going to want to book your tickets immediately.
