Restaurant Server - Dune House Hotel & Spa - Jacksonville, FL

Along the quiet sands of Atlantic Beach, where the tide has whispered its secrets for generations, the story of One Ocean Resort & Spa began in the early 1970s as the humble Sea Turtle Inn, a seaside refuge for travelers chasing salt air and sunrise. Over time, the little inn grew into something grander, shaped by the rhythm of the waves and the changing dreams of coastal hospitality. In the mid-2000s, it was lovingly reborn as One Ocean, trading simplicity for polished elegance while keeping its soul rooted in the shore, and soon became a jewel of Northeast Florida, known for oceanfront luxury, glowing sunsets, and moments that linger long after checkout. Now, as the surf writes yet another line in its story, One Ocean is entering a new era, transforming into The Dune House at Atlantic Beach, a lifestyle luxury property designed to capture the spirit of modern coastal living, where relaxed elegance meets curated experience. This next evolution honors the past while inviting a new generation of guests to leave their footprints in the sand and carry forward a legacy shaped by wind, water, and timeless hospitality.
