The Master Suite | A New Standard in Service & Accommodation in Jacksonville Beach

The Master Suite is a ground floor, 2 Bedroom 1 Bath, 1200 Square Foot Living Space. An escape by the
sea for the design conscious traveler. Sleeping arrangements for 1 – 5 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 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 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 visit our website to see our past guest’s comments for their thoughts on our standard of
cleanliness.
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.
"My husband Bill and I stayed in the Master Suite. What a wonderful
space, it is filled with all the comforts of home. Mike is the kindest
of hosts. He was so helpful to us with restaurant choices, places to
shop and so much more. We look forward to going back for another visit
as soon as we can."

"This was our third stay at La Palmeraie and we love it more and more
each time! The Master Suite is absolutely amazing. A perfect getaway
spot. The amenities are the best of any place we've rented. The
location of the house so close to the beach is just an added bonus!
Thanks again Mike."

"I spent 4 nights over the weekend of Nov 17th in the Master Suite for
my wedding. We're locals that were looking for something beautiful to
escape to during the weekend and La Palmeraie couldn't have been more
perfect. It's a beautiful, fully restored old Jacksonville Beach
house. Hardwood floors, gorgeous furnishings, luxurious linens and
towels (amazing night's sleep, super comfortable bed).
It's definitely not kid-friendly with so many nice things including
the flat screen TV's, wine cooler and high-end kitchenware, but we
weren't there for a family vacation. If that's what you're looking
for, my brother had the suite upstairs (Executive Suite) and it's
PERFECT for families with younger kids. But, if you're looking for a
beautiful location with luxury amenities, the Master suite is the
place to stay.
I should note that after seeing the courtyard area, we moved our
rehearsal dinner for 50 to it! The fire pit, hammock and landscaping
were beautiful at night and lit perfectly. It was a truly special
event and Mike and the space made it even more so. Unforgettable,
personal, comfortable, clean, meticulously furnished, beautiful. Best
words to describe the place!
The only issue we had was with the heat on the second night, but Mike
was there within an hour with the repair man and it was resolved
quickly and quietly. We couldn't have asked for a better host and I
think this shows the character of the space and owner. He really took
the time to make every little piece of the space more comfortable with
extra amenities
By the way, if you're a techie like me, I loved the FREE wireless
access around the house and Mike's own photography around all of the
walls. It makes you feel like you're traveling and staying in a
gorgeous B&B in Europe with high-tech amenities. The best of both worlds!"
