When Hyatt Regency Jacksonville wins: pick Hyatt if you want hotel services (24-hour front desk, concierge, on-site restaurants including SHOR Seafood Grill and Morton's), a rooftop heated pool with skyline views, a fitness center, pet-friendly options, and convenient downtown walking access to theaters and museums.
When Home Near the Beach & Golf ... wins: choose the vacation rental if your priority is being close to American Beach and local golf (Omni Amelia Island Resort Golf is a short drive), having a private patio and fireplace, and the convenience of in-unit washer/dryer and a more home-like layout.
Bottom line: Hyatt is the better choice for city-based amenities, dining variety, and event space; the Fernandina Beach home is the simpler, lower-star option for beach/golf proximity and private outdoor space.
