The Garden Suite | The Most Reviewed Property In Jax Beach in Jacksonville Beach

The Garden Suite is a ground floor, a 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 440 Square Foot Living Space. The convertible living room transforms into a second sleeping area in seconds by use of a double futon with a privacy curtained sleeping cubicle. Couples on romantic getaways, families with small children, & corporate travelers have found the flexibility of the Garden Suite ideal for the various needs of budget conscious travelers. Sleeping arrangements for 1 - 4 persons.

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. Hotels are often staffed by employees without passion for their product, or Vacation Rental properties managed by distant owners hoping to simply to cover the cost of their own vacation home, with the client's needs coming second. La Palmeraie is different than the rest.

We, as the owner/managers of La Palmeraie have 15 years of extensive worldwide business travel experience to call upon to understand the needs and 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.
Many accommodation properties are operated with a focus solely on margins. We believe that accommodations should benefit from passion, consideration and acumen.

Our guest's comfort & safety are our paramount concerns. We use only 620 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 cold water 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 cleaning standards.

A 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.

"Perfect place to stay at the beach. Cozy, relaxing, every detail was attended to. Will definitely stay there again!"
Marcie and Clay, Atlanta, GA

"Our extending family (our family, grandparents, sister, brother-in-law and nephew) collectively stayed in the Garden Suite and the Executive Suite, and we LOVED it! The accommodations were lovely, the courtyard was especially nice - beautifully landscaped, with hammocks, a fire pit and bikes! - and we really enjoyed our time away from home. We'll be renting again the next time we come to Jacksonville."
Laura, Birmingham, AL

"Just got home yesterday, the Garden Suite was great! We stayed with our young children and our dog. All the comments you read on this site are absolutely accurate! It was VERY clean, the all white linens were fresh and smelled fresh. They have payed so much attention to detail in making sure that your stay is comfortable, you almost can't describe it, you have to see it! All you need to bring are your clothes! We loved it, it was a very relaxing getaway. If we come back to Jacksonville, we will definitely stay here again and will highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Mike, great place you have there!"
Shawn & Annie, Charlotte, NC

"We stayed in the Garden Suite, it was more than we expected. It was very clean, cozy and near everything. We stayed for 5 days. We will be going back. Mike thought of everything. It was so much nicer than any hotel room I have stayed in. It was absolutely the best vacation we have had in a long time. I wouldn't think of going somewhere else. We are addicted to Jacksonville now. Thank you."
Amy Hilliard, Jackson, TN

"My stay at La Palmeraie was a great experience. Mike and Holly have created a space which allows guests to feel like they are in their own home away from home. The design of the garden and rooms has a very relaxing feel. They know the town inside out, and you can explore all of it on the beach cruisers they provide. Mike even got me a hard to get appointment with a great tattoo artist in Jacksonville."
Anonymous, Brooklyn,NY

"The Garden Suite is great! Super clean, convenient to the white sand beach, restaurants...The private patio was especially nice to hang out, even has a hammock! They really pay attention to the details for comfort and style. Mike and Holly are great hosts, pointed us to the right spots to eat and are incredibly nice. We will definitely return next year."
M. Sao, Seattle WA

"The Garden Suite is FABULOUS! Mike has a secret paradise in this place. Mike himself is great and helped us with restaurants and other needs at the blink of an eye. As far as we are concerned, we always want to stay here when visiting Jax Beach!"
Jeff & Carolyn, Atlanta, GA

"The Garden Suite is a great little hide-away. Your own private courtyard for morning coffee or evening drinks. The Suite is cozy, but ample for a couple, their two dogs and a cat. (Special thanks to Mike for providing a litter box so I didn't have to bring one!) The location is great, the property is clean and well cared for. And it's really cute! Really enjoyed our stay."
Myra and Scott Bushnell, Clermont, FL

"The Garden Suite was a wonderful place to stay in Jacksonville. It's seconds from the beach. Mike is great and really helpful about getting around and pointing you to the right places in the Jacksonville area. The bikes were also an awesome bonus to the Garden Suite. We rode the bikes everyday to get coffee or just check out the beaches. The secluded garden area complete with a grill, outdoor table, and hammock was wonderful as well. Thanks, Mike! Hopefully we'll make it back to Jacksonville in our travels!"

Michelle, Cleveland, OH

"The garden apartment was perfect for our short break from the northern winter. We loved all the extra amenities, the location & especially the private courtyard. Mike was a superb host - attentive but not at all intrusive. We've rented vacation places around the world and this one was outstanding."
Rita & Dredge Liversedge, VT, USA & U.K.

"What a wonderful little piece of paradise this was! I was skeptical about booking a place to stay for a week having not seen the property, but we were in for a terrific surprise. It was better than we could have imagined. The house was clean, cool and very modern.

We were able to bring our dog with no hassles. We felt very secluded from the other units on the property because you actually have your own yard-completely fenced! Just a walk to the beach or some of the local favorite restaurants... you can't beat the location. Having grown up in the area, I felt right at home! I would definitely (and highly) recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting the Jacksonville beaches area!"

Lauren, Clearwater, FL

"All i can say is " what you see is not what you get" at La Palmeraie! It is much better!! You will feel like you found yourself a little piece of paradise. The studios are lovely! With all the right touches. My favorite part was relaxing in the hammock in the most beautiful garden. The owners are delightful and so warm and welcoming. I can't wait to come back."

Donna Christ, Nashville Tennessee
