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.

The Executive Suite | Service, Design, Comfort & Value

Year Purchased: 2004

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.

    • Stayed at the suite for 3 nights in late April. Our stay could not have been better. Very comfortable and ideal location. Loads of room and very clean. The bicycles also came in very handy! Mike and his family's hospitality was second to none. They are also very handy at cooking! Also the local taverns are an experience with the locals being very welcoming and friendly. Someone told us this place was a hidden gem and thats exactly what it is! I will definetly be returning!

    • Four of us stayed at the La Palmeraie Executive Suite in April. It is located in a pristine area of Jacksonville Beach. Michael and his family could not have been any more accommodating. I highly recommend this suite if you are visiting Jacksonville Beach. I would rate it over any hotel. A stone throw from the beach, what more could you ask.

    • The stay at La Palmeraie was very good. The location was very good. Close to golf, restaurants and bars. The suite had plenty of room with 3 separate sleeping areas. Other positives were the computer/printer and wireless access, satelite TV with Canadian hockey/news channels and condiments/supplies included like coffee, laundry soap, etc.

    • My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mike's condo. It was even nicer than in the pictures and we loved listening to the 25,000 songs on the computer. Everything you can think of is included- linens, super soft sheets, directions to the TV remote, condiments, you name it. The service I got before the actual condo stay is what sets this experience apart. Mike answered all of my emails personally and quickly and addressed each of my questions and concerns. Sometimes it is scary spending so much money on a vacation rental just by pushing a button online, but Mike and I were in constant communication throughout the process. His customer service was amazing. My husband and I are searching our schedule, looking for an excuse to go back to Jax so we can stay there again.

    • Wow...Mike really made our visit to Jacksonville Beach a trip to remember! The Executive Suite was just as nice as advertised, and Mike provided every amenity imaginable. He even prepared a fire for us in the fire pit (which was quite welcome, considering the chilly evening weather). My daughter and son-in-law are still talking about the great time we had together; and, since my daughter's best friend lives in Jacksonville, we will most definitely be making a return visit to the Executive Suite!

    • “Without Parallel” is the easiest way to describe our experience at La Palmeraie. We booked all 3 suites for a wedding ceremony, reception, bridal suite and bridal party accommodations. We could not have found better service or accommodations for all aspects of our big weekend. Comfy beds, luxurious linens, top of the line TV’s & great decor made the suites above the norm. The concierge service we received from the landlord Mike in helping plan our wedding was much appreciated by my husband, me and my family. Mike was instrumental in coordinating the tables, chairs, heaters, flowers & photographer The catering job that Mike did for our 40 wedding guests was top notch. Many of our guests commented that it was the best steak dinner they had ever had. In addition to catering our reception, Mike catered for our bridal party of 12 for the entire weekend, breakfast, lunch & supper. We never had to deal with waiting for tables for our large group in a restaurant and we paid less for better quality and larger portions than we would have received in any restaurant. At the end of the reception Mike gathered up the digital photos from the photographer he arranged and from my friends, by the next day he had built a website of our ceremony & reception ready for our friends to download their favorite photos. Consequently we spent very little on prints after the wedding. The total package of accommodations & services we received was better priced than any other hotel we shopped in Jax Beach. From what I have seen attending friend’s weddings in the area, we got much better service & care too. Stay at La Palmeraie, you won’t be disappointed!

    • My family really enjoyed our stay at La Palmeraie. We could not believe how the owners had thought of everything to make life easier for us, we had everything in our suites that we needed. Our thanks to the owners for making our vacation a wonderful time to remember. We will be back.

    • Wow what a fantastic place!! We had a group of 12 guys come down to Jacksonville for the Steelers/Jags game and could not have found better accommodations. We rented the Garden Suite and the Executive Suite and could not have been more pleased. They were much more than we expected. The LCD TV's in every room were great, not to mention having the NFL Sunday ticket. The outdoor sitting area was another added bonus. Also, these places are in walking distance of most everything. In addition to the great places to stay, Mike was the best host you could have. He made you feel very welcome and it was apparent that Mike has put a lot of time and effort into his rental business. What we enjoyed most was Mike's breakfast. For a nominal fee Mike made breakfast in the mornings for all of us. We were all more than pleased with what he cooked up to go along with coffee, juice, fresh fruit, and the bloody marys. He even catered our tailgate party for the Steelers/Jags game and did a great job. I don't think we had a single complaint from any of our guys. Our group is actually hoping that the Steelers have to go to Jacksonville to play the Jags in the playoffs this year so we could stay at Mike's place again. If you are looking for a great place to stay for a great price, don't waste your time surfing the net anymore, this is the place!!!
