We stayed at the Retro for one night on our way south. Really nice! It was so convenient to everything. We visited friends, there are cool restaurants close by, and of course the beach is down the street. Love that!

My family and I stayed at this motel after last minute plans to stay in the area. What a pleasant (and FUN) surprise! My kids loved the Rock and Roll room, and all of the Elvis items in the room (cd's, movies, clocks, books full of photos, etc) They enjoyed cooking the popcorn in our in room microwave after returning...

A good friend recently exclaimed to me, "I love 1950's Florida and wish I could find it again. Pink and turquoise stucco motels owned by a couple, the smell of Coppertone, NO condos for the 1%." Well, I have good news for her - The Palms Retro! What a real gem of a place tucked away with a lovely private... More

This was without question, the coolest place we've ever stayed. The room (The Beach) was big, extremely clean, and well supplied with cold water, coffee, and even popcorn for the micro that was replenished as we used it up. Our room was touted as the largest and we had more than enough room for everything we wanted to do. We... More

We took a spur of the moment trip to Florida during the MLK weekend in search of warmer weather. Based on other Tripadvisor reviews, we decided to stay at the Palms. It was GREAT! I grew up in Florida, so the old fashioned style motel was very nostalgic for me. However, my teenaged son was travelling with me, and at... More

Charming little motel built in 1947, it was recently renovated (2010 or so) and converted from what I recall as a dump (back when I lived in Neptune Beach 15 years or so ago) into a remarkably nice, very quirky retro motel. Check out their website for room descriptions and photos; each one is unique. I stayed in the Rat... More

We stayed at the Palms for one night this past weekend. Scott and Christian stayed up late to greet us, as our plane landed after the normal closing time. We like the room decor and general theme of the place. Best of all was breakfast on a mild January morning, sitting in the garden. Definitely recommended.

Stayed at this Motel for 5 nights due to the special price i received from bookings.com. Much cheaper than the Seahorse, and much closer than the Comfort Inn. The location is great, just a short stroll to all the restaurants and shops, and another short stroll from their to the beach. If you want to be directly on the beach... More

My husband and I recently stayed 2 nights in The Legends room; it was clean and had everything we needed. The service reminds me more of a cozy B&B; the owners really want to make sure everyone is pleased. This place is a close walk to the beach and to restaurants/bars. The property was quiet and we had no trouble... More
