A traveler to Jacksonville Beach has a multitude of accommodation options. Each property when viewed on the Internet can appear to be much the same as the next. We believe the small details and personal service make the difference.
We, as the owner/managers of La Palmeraie have 15 years of extensive worldwide business travel experience to call upon to understand the needs & wants of our clientele. For our own personal travel needs we only use vacation rentals and boutique hotels, giving us positive & negative experiences from the traveler’s perspective. The considerations to & the indulgences for our guests are a reflection of cumulative experience as clients.
Pets are important members of any family; we welcome the dogs & cats in your party with dangerous breed exceptions.
We live in the neighborhood, and thus can provide valuable insight on our area, while also being available to attend to guest’s needs at short notice.
Our guest’s comfort & safety are our paramount concerns. We use only 600 thread count bed linens and Egyptian cotton bath linens. Our linens never come in contact with chlorine bleach in deference to sensitive skin & environmental concerns. Our linens are soaked in a Woolite solution for 24 hours and then laundered.
Unlike many hotels and vacation rental properties our cleaning service never “tops up” the clean linen count in a suite. Every single thread of bed and bath linens, including duvet covers are removed to be laundered and replaced with an all new stock of sanitized linens.
Please see our past guest’s comments for their thoughts on our standard of cleanliness.
La Palmeraie is a classic Florida beach house originally constructed in 1933, as the family abode for the then mayor Gonzalez. In 2004 La Palmeraie was extensively renovated, commencing an entirely new chapter in this historic home’s story.
The house is divided into 3 apartments, each with their own discrete separate entrance to ensure each guest’s privacy. The ground floor of the house is comprised of the Master Suite, and the Garden Suite. The entire second floor is occupied by the Executive Suite.
During the extensive renovation process, entirely new kitchens and bathrooms were installed in each unit. All infrastructure systems were replaced with the highest efficiency equipment available. When possible, the period original treatments in each suite have been refurbished to preserve the character of the space while adding high standards of modern design, features & conveniences.

Why the Owner Chose Jacksonville Beach
Great location. 100 yards to the beach, within walking distance of all shops, services & entertainment. Jacksonville Beach is a rare find in Florida's beach communities. Small town pricing and density, big city services & convenience.
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex
Walking or Cycling to all shopping & entertainment. Great white sand uncrowded beach with no vehicles. Our property's jasmine scented private gardens with native tropical plants and trees. Relaxing on comfortable, well designed furniture while enjoying sports & movies on the lcd tv. Spring and Fall nights sleeping with the windows open to enjoy the ocean breeze. Super comfortable beds, indulgent linens. Refreshing showers under a rain shower head, then enjoying coffee outdoors in the sunshine.
Owner's Map of Jacksonville Beach
I am a vacation rental property manager by trade. This is my full time profession, I previously worked 15 years in a customer service job that required 275 days of travel per year. Having seen the best & the worst of the hospitality industry over the world, in 2004 I decided to try my hand at offering services rather than purchasing. So far the experience has been very rewarding in all aspects. I take great pride in running a business that offers customers a great value, with thoughtful & unique amenities.
