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.

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.

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 standards.

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.

A series of factors combined make Jacksonville Beach an ideal spot to escape to for a relaxing get away.

Jacksonville Beach is situated on a narrow island east of the Intra-Coastal Waterway, resulting in a limited amount of developable land. Since 2004 Jacksonville Beach's development code has not allowed for construction of buildings over 35 feet in height; the result is restricted development and unlike our other beachside towns in Florida; a dearth of skyscrapers abutting the beach, allowing for great views and access.

The building height restriction does not allow for high-rise hotel development, keeping crowds to a minimum; visitors can easily get a seat in the best restaurants and not pay exorbitant prices.

Shopping, Restaurants, Nightclubs, Services & Conveniences are set amongst a bicycle & pedestrian friendly street plan. Jacksonville Beach has relaxed pace of life with a beach among the best in the state.

Speaking of our beach... Wide flat white sandy beaches with a protective barrier of Sea Oat covered dunes. Swim, Surf, Fish or go Shelling, while enjoying Public Beach access on every block, Public Washrooms, Lifeguards, Picnic Pavilions and no vehicular traffic on the sand. The Jacksonville Beach Pier reaches 1/4 mile into the Atlantic Ocean.

Jacksonville Beach is 30 minutes away from Jacksonville International Airport with easy air connections from Charlotte on US Airways, New York on Jet Blue, Nashville on Southwest, Dallas on American, Atlanta on Delta, Newark on Continental, Chicago on United, Memphis & Detroit on Northwest.
