3-star vintage motel steps from Honeymoon Island State Park
Award-Winning Vintage Charm
Palm Court Motel, built in 1957, holds the title of the closest motel to Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island State Parks. The property maintains its original 1950s style, offering guests a distinct vintage experience. Free entry passes to nearby state park attractions are provided at check-in.
Outdoor Recreation & Social Spaces
The motel offers complimentary beach equipment and bike rentals, allowing guests to explore the Pinellas Bike Path across the street. A large outdoor swimming pool with a 9-foot deep end, sun loungers, and umbrellas anchors the social area. Organized BBQ events and a free daily manager's reception encourage guest interaction in the picnic area and sun terrace.
Homelike Rooms with Kitchenettes
Each of the 15 air-conditioned rooms includes a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, toaster oven, and dining area. Rooms come with premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with grab rails and raised toilets. Family configurations range from queen studios to two-full-bed apartments, with tea/coffee makers in all rooms.
Prime Location & Local Access
The motel sits 28 km from Tampa International Airport and a short walk from the Dunedin Fine Art Center. Downtown Dunedin's Main Street, with eclectic restaurants and art galleries, is within walking distance. The Dunedin Country Club and golfing opportunities are minutes away, and the Pinellas Bike Path provides direct biking access to the causeway for Honeymoon Island.
