Description
A full-color postcard featuring six images, as well as Quality Inn's sun logo in the top lefthand side, and the text "Quality Inn Marineland" under it. The image to its right is of a woman sitting on a round chair in a Quality Inn room, looking outwards towards a balcony window beside her. The other furniture shown is a side table with a lamp, a sofa, and a white coffee table.
The next image is an aerial view of Marineland's marina, a rectangular marina with docks and boats. Below the text is an photograph of the Inn taken from the beach it sits on; a sandy beach and shimmering waves on it are in the foreground, with the white Inn in the background framed by a blue sky. The image to its right on the postcard is of a man and woman golfing; the woman, in yellow golfing attire, holds a flagstick in one hand and a golfing iron in the other, watching the man in front of her pensively line up a putt on the green turf. To the upper right of this image is a photo of three dolphins leaping through a red, a white, and a blue hoop suspended in the air, the blue hoop reading "Florida" above it in cursive text. There are tall white buildings in the background. The last image is below it, and is another photo of a Quality Inn room; it features the edge of a sofa and coffee table, two parallel beds with yellow bedding, modular wall art, wall lighting, a white desk chair with a pink cushion, and a television on a desk.
The back of the postcard reads: "Quality Inn / Marineland On the Ocean 18 Miles South of Saint Augustine Every room oceanfront. Color tv. Ocean & Pool swimming. Traffic-free beach.
