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.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
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.
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 amongst Florida's beach communities. Small town pricing and density, big city services & convenience.
The Unique Benefits of this House
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.

Mike's place was very nice. It was comfortable and everything we could want was there. The kitchen was well stocked with enough extras that we were able to pick up main ingredients and cook our meals in. Mike is super friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure you have what you need. The space was well decorated. Big supply of movies for relaxing in the evenings. It was a very nice vacation for us and our 4 year old son!

We had a wonderful anniversary weekend at The Garden Suite. The property was very clean, well-laid out and began to feel like a little oasis in the midst of our busy lives. The kitchen had everything we needed (thank you for the coffee!), the bed was extremely comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed the privacy. We are Jacksonville natives and are very familiar with the area, so we knew this property would be convenient to restaurants, attractions, etc. We spent an enjoyable Sunday morning fishing off the Jacksonville Pier. Mike was easy to work with and we felt well-taken care of. We will be back!
Owner response:Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to having you stay again for your next getaway.

My husband and I visited Jacksonville Beach for the first time and we really enjoyed our time there. Living in Florida most of our lives we have really missed out. The rental is private and in a great location. There is a lot to do in Jax Beach and the rental is close to everything.

We had a wonderful 3 days with our dog. The private outside patio was perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked and clean. There was everything we needed and much more. The beach was very close and we could walk the dog before 8 and also in the evening. We found a dog friendly park called Hanna state park. That beach was dog friendly all day. We would certainly recommend this property for our friends and relatives. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

I know the company you keep is a big part of enjoying a vacation (I had that part down) But the Garden Suite made it perfect. The kitchen facilities were well equipped, the bedding was plush and comfortable and the location is very close to beach with chairs and towels provided, . Our overall stay was wonderful. The private courtyard was perfect for us. At check in, I noticed a light was not working in the bathroom. I called Mike and it was fixed within 30 minutes. Amazing service!! Thanks for a perfect vacation! Would recommend and stay again....
Owner response:We look forward to welcoming you back to La Palmeraie again soon.

My wife and I spent our 27th wedding anniversary in the Garden Suite. Everything was wonderful and as described. The beach was only a 2 minute walk from the house and if needed, you could drive and park for free at the beach. There was beach parking at the end of the street. It was also nice to have bikes provided which came in handy when going to dinner. Just a few blocks to the north were several places to eat which were within walking distance. Also, just a short drive to Atlantic Boulevard to the North were more restaurants and places to shop. Publics and Wallgreens were very close which made grocery shopping easy. Internet access was provided and it was quick. The private garden area was nice but we were not really able to enjoy it due to the heat. The only problem we encountered was we were unable to figure out how to get the DVD player to work. We were able to use the IPOD docking feature but could not get the video for the movie to come up on the screen. This was a minor issue for us since we spent most of our time at the beach or out in the evening. I would recommend Chicago for deep dish pizza and Bonefish grill for seafood. There were many other places we wanted to try but simply did not have enough time. We will definitely return and would recommend this The Suites to others.
Owner response:Thank you for spending your special weekend at our property. We apologize for the inconvenience of the DVD player mishap. We have placed a new laminated copy of the entertainment center instructions in the living room and added said item to the housekeeping check list. Customers like you and your wife are a total pleasure to deal with start to finish. You make us wish there were a review site for owners to leave comments about customers. We would highly recommend you to any property owner. We look forward to seeing back again.

Everything good that you read about this place and Mike is true. I reserved the Suite for my parents for July 5th through the 10th and they had the best time. Mike did in fact think of everything!!

Mike, we wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at LaPalmeraie.The unit was exactly what was pictured on vrbo. It was a nice layout, having a private fenced area for the two Jack Russell’s, along with the ‘general’ area where we could enjoy a bonfire and meet with the other tenants. We were fortunate to have great weather while we were in Florida. We enjoyed many long walks along the beautiful beaches and the restaurants and shops were within walking distance as well.Thanks for a great little hideaway. We look forward to next year.

The Garden Suite at La Palmeraie was perfect--fully equipped kitchen, even coffee! Our two-year old LOVED it. Beds were very comfortable and cozy. The courtyard was peaceful. It was close to everything, and far from nothing. We'll be back!!
