Palm Suites is a single-story, low-rise condo-hotel complex completed in 1988 on the sound/marsh edge of Atlantic Beach. Units are primarily studio/one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations with compact kitchenettes, built-in shelving and living areas that were designed for short-term stays and seasonal occupancy. Interiors commonly feature laminate or LVP flooring, vaulted or high ceilings in some units, ceiling fans, blinds, and functional touches such as wet bars, bookcases and walk-in shower options. The property’s footprint clusters units around a central lobby and elevator access to upper-level suites, with exterior decks and private balconies overlooking the marsh and intracoastal waters. Grounds emphasize waterfront recreation: a saltwater swimming pool, day docks, boat ramp and unassigned boat slips support boating and fishing, while a gazebo with grilling stations and irrigation-equipped landscaping create casual outdoor gathering spaces. Onsite management operates a condo-tel rental program and handling of rentals/cleaning, with owners typically allowed limited personal use (commonly 45 days per quarter). Parking and boat trailer storage are available; pet policies vary by unit and management rules. The location places residents within easy walking distance of local dining, shops and public beaches, delivering a beach-centric, marina-oriented lifestyle focused on short-stay rentals and seasonal leisure.
