The Grand Tour
-
Come with me and let me show you around Hibiscus. We have twelve guestrooms.
-
Let's go in through the gate. Hibiscus House is home to our four original guestrooms and to our café, where we serve breakfast to our guests and the general public, from 7:30am-11:30am, daily.
-
This is the courtyard, were we have several shady spots to sit and relax while taking in the garden or having breakfast .
-
While you are here, please feel free to enjoy the greenery. We have a variety of flowers and herbs, including roses, hibiscus, sage, mint, palmetto, dill....
-
On June 19th, Tim Ryan opened Botaniq Floral Studio in the Woodpecker Cottage, just across the courtyard.
-
This way to The Art Deco Room. Letting out onto the porch, looking on the courtyard, it's the only downstairs guestroom in the Hibiscus House. By the way, you'll probably notice that we have a lot of porches around here. Hibiscus House has two more - one in the front and another upstairs.
-
The Art Deco Room has a king-sized bed, and it is both kid and pet friendly.
-
And here, just off the upstairs deck overlooking the courtyard, is the Turner Room, so named for the artist's prints adorning the walls. This room has a queen-size bed and, like the Hibiscus Room, has a claw-footed tub in the bathroom.
-
This is our library, a common area for our Hibiscus House guests. This area is open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. during the day. While we sell used books, feel free to borrow anything on the shelves while you're here. In this room you'll find a phone, and if you are musically inclined, we have a piano.
-
This is the Magnolia Room. This queen room has a shower in the bathroom, instead of a tub.
-
And this is the Hibiscus Room, which is a king-room. The bathroom has an old claw-footed tub.
-
This is Bert's barn. We've tried to make the Barn a comfortable place to sit and relax. There are no common walls in the five Bert's Barn rooms, allowing for greater privacy.
-
Perhaps you'd like to take advantage of one of our comfortable porches. There's a large porch out front and two smaller one's out back.
-
The Old Florida room is a first floor mini-suite with kitchenette (microwave, fridge, coffeepot, sink) This spacious room has a queen-sized bed. If you want to bring along your small child, a crib or a cot can be provided.
-
The Funky Bird Room is our other first floor mini-suite, also with kitchenette, and separated from the Old Florida room by the Dog Trot. Again, this queen-sized room allows access to the Barn's big front porch. As with the Old Florida room, we can provide a cot or crib.
-
The Big Easy Room is a fully handicapped accessible little cabin semi-detached from the main house (it was a detached kitchen in it's early life) equipped with mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot. (This room is held for the physically challenged until all other rooms are rented.)
-
Upstairs is the Common Area, shared by guests in our Tropical Bird and Romance Rooms. Here you'll find a complete kitchen and table for any meals you are inspired to cook. You'll also find conversational areas and a telephone.
-
The Tropical Bird room is a large second floor king-sized room decorated with our favorite bird prints. It shares a full kitchen and large living/dining area with the Romance room.
-
The Romance room is a large second floor king-sized room decorated for lovers. It features a Jacuzzi-type tub that fits two plus a separate shower. It shares a full kitchen and large living/dining area with the Tropical bird room.
-
Hibiscus Flats is our newest addition to the grounds. In addition to our office, it is home to our two luxury flats.
-
The Hibiscus Flat Three, upstairs, is a fully equipped, one bedroom, luxury apartment. It has a king bed, full kitchen, livingroom area, stereo, dvd player, a washer & dryer... sit on the porch and watch the world go by!
-
The Hibiscus Flat Four is also upstairs, and like the other two Flats, is fully equipped.
-
The Hibiscus Flat Two, downstairs is our our other fully equipped, one bedroom, luxury apartment. This one however, is also kid and pet friendly.
-
You'll want to drop by our office to check in. In addition to being our "front desk", you will find Beach to Bay Realty, owned by our innkeeper Cheri, her husband, Bob and son Donald. They're the people to see if you are looking for property in the area!
-
When you are done with breakfast, we highly recommend you explore! Sandwiched between two state parks, with Grayton Dune State Park to the west and Grayton Beach Recreation Area to the east, Grayton Beach has some of the most beautiful duned beaches anywhere.
-
We serve breakfast in the cafe from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Our menu includes Waffle Wonderfuls, Fritattas, and Fresh-Fruit Smoothies. Drop by and join us! We'd love to see you!
-
Well, I'm outta here. I got a sunset to catch. I suggest you do the same.
