I Praise and thank the Lord Jesus Christ was allowing me to share in His earthly blessings, through his child - Stephanie. It's was just amazing how we connected over the phone prior to meeting.

Just back from Memorial Day weekend and friends suggested the Hibiscus Cafe. Our sign out front said, "Be Pure". Nice and quiet, sat out back. The Cinnamon Sweet Roll French toast...........are you kidding me?! We are going to try to make it at home. I got a quiche and it was great too, but the french toast.........off the hook. Everything... More

I knew when I drove up and the chalkboard sign hanging out front said "Be Grateful" that this was the place for me. It felt like a "home away from home" instantly. It was like a trip back in time to slower Florida days, yet with a contemporary openness and welcoming feel from everyone from the proprietor to the cafe... More

The efforts of Stephanie and Chef Colin made our son's rehearsal dinner an extraordinary event.  The distinctive garden setting, savory low country boil, and accommodating service exceeded our highest expectations. Without a doubt, the Hibiscus Backyard of Love was the place to BE. Thanks for the memories!

A truly unique setting with access to the beach, great restaurants and many outdoor activities. The best breakfast in all of Walton County! We have often made a special trip just to eat breakfast. You will not be disappointed.

We came for breakfast (everyone is welcome, even if you are not lucky enough to be staying at their B and B), and I had the best French Toast known to man. This is such an eclectic, enjoyable, and relaxing setting for your breakfast. We chose to sit in the Backyard of Love, shared it with two nice cats, and... More

Which french toast did you get? That certainly is becoming a signature item. We are thrilled you enjoyed it. Next time, come and stay, and get the Waffle Wonderful or Fritatta of the Day. Thank you. Stephanie More

My husband and I eat breakfast in this lovely little cafe every time we visit Grayton. All the breakfast items are delicious: even the oatmeal. Make sure you eat at one of the tables in the Backyard of Love! This is a great place to unwind and the food is an absolute treat. One of my favorite breakfast spots anywhere.... More

We stayed at the Hibiscus Guesthouse for 2 nights in early March and enjoyed our stay. It's in a great location, within walking distance of the beach and places to eat. Communication with Stephanie before our visit was very good and she was helpful in arranging somewhere to eat for my birthday. The guesthouse is pretty much as I expected... More

I stayed here one year because of a special they had and have been back every year since. The location is great; you can bike to the beach or even walk if you're not carrying much. The area it's in is full of private homes and nice resorts, so this is an affordable option for the area, which is lovely.... More

We stayed at the Hibiscus House in February 2012. We stayed in one of the Flats. This was not our first time staying here. This B&B is very ecletic and funky. The rooms are decorated in a 1950's decor. Everything is clean and immaculate. The beds are comfy, the vegan breakfasts are tasty and filling. We have always received excellent... More
