Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse

I booked the Magnolia Room for six nights. It is the perfect size for one or two people. I loved the peace and quiet I found at this guesthouse. My room was spotless. The shower was wonderful with plenty of towels. I loved that the breakfast was included and had many choices that were both interesting and delicious. Breakfast was ready quickly and service was very friendly. Finding a place that feels like Old Florida is a gem and hard to find these days. The grounds were beautiful and had many seating areas to relax and enjoy the outdoors while eating breakfast or just relaxing. The staff were all efficient and very friendly and helpful.|My new “happy place”.

The perfect location for your stay in the area. It's walking distance from the public access to the ocean and centrally located from shops nearby. The breakfast included is DEVINE! The backyard of love is a super find. They host wellness events on the weekends and periodically will turn the patio into an event for drinking and dancing (super fun). The room we stayed in (Turner) was lovely. It had all of the modern creature comforts but was furnished with historic pieces (that bathtub) that added to the charm of our stay. Would absolutely stay here again and would certainly encourage our friends and family too as well.

We loved our stay at The Hibiscus. The quiet artsy vibe of Grayton Beach is exactly what my husband and I like. The retro “old Florida” kitschy decor in the room was fun, and we loved the size of our room and bathroom. The included organic, vegetarian breakfast from Raw & Juicy was delicious, and we loved waking up, doing yoga in the garden and then getting a healthy meal. The walk to the beach was 8 minutes or we sometimes rode the free beach shuttle. We walked to every meal, there are so many restaurants in the area, and the general store is also very close. It was so nice to have everything in walking distance. We can’t wait to go back.

I’m so happy I booked the Magnolia Room for 6 nights in July and passed up a regular hotel. The room was perfect for me or a couple. I slept wonderfully from night one. The bed offered support but also softness that I’ve been struggling to achieve in my own bed! So peaceful and quiet. The staff were very helpful and kind and the breakfast choices interesting and delicious. I loved all the antique touches with the lamps being a favorite. The tables in the breakfast room just like my Grandma had. Loved that breakfast was included and service very quick and friendly. The grounds had plenty of cozy seating areas amongst beautiful surroundings. Also location was perfect close by to many shops and restaurants . I plan on making this my new “happy place “.

I stayed in the funky bird room my son stayed in the big easy room. We were here on a business trip and we're recommended to this place by a friend that lives in the area. It is quaint and fun. I did not expect a five star hotel. I loved the rustic feel of my room as well as the cleanliness. I was a little surprised there were no Kleenex in the room which I use regularly. I'm assuming this is because they are on septic and some people don't understand you cannot flush Kleenex down a septic system. The one negative thing was the breakfast the avocado toast with an egg was nice but my son was very disappointed that there was not any type of meat option. We would stay again but definitely go to cracklings or somewhere else for a great breakfast!

My husband booked this trip last minute, as a surprise, much needed get away. The Hibiscus was a hidden gem amongst the other high end options, no doubt. The location was perfect. The gardens were magical and the rooms were nostalgic and charming. We enjoyed the amazing options of breakfast at Raw & Juicy. I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy the area and add to the “funky” experience of Grayton Beach. I loved the culture and can’t wait to return.

We loved the charm of the property - from the beautiful, funky gardens, great breakfast accommodating my gluten issues with multiple choices, to the spacious, eclectic, vintage Tropical Bird Room. Ample towels for showering and beach, invigorating shower, and outdoor shower to rinse off the beach sand. Walk to the beach and restaurants was easy although there is not a clear path in some places. A few more hooks or towel racks would have been helpful to hang wet stuff but not a big deal. We loved the place and would go back. It was perfect for 3 of us.

Beautiful facility with lots of lovely garden space and outdoor seating. The room was very comfortable with every need thoughtfully accommodated: extra pillows, blanket, iron/board, toiletries, plenty of towels, coffee/maker and supplies, beach towels, even paper towels and dish soap…|At check in with the friendly staff, we received a detailed map of the complex specific to our room. Parking was plentiful and convenient. Our room was upstairs with a lovely balcony complete with tables, chairs and a rocker. Just inside was a well appointed library with cozy seating and table and chairs for reading or playing games or building puzzles, all of which were provided. Downstairs was a lovely dining area and also outdoor seating. Breakfast was delicious and made to order with a good variety of choices. There was a shuttle to Grayton Beach that picked up every 10-15 minutes right at the curb, but it was an easy walk through a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks and a bike path. There were bikes available to rent. Guidebooks about the area were also provided in our room. Just wonderful! We will be back!

They hosted our wedding reception and friends and family took up all of their rooms. They loved the rooms and that their rooms were just steps away from the reception. We are all planning to go back and do a week there. Rent bikes and golf carts to go to the beach and restaurants and bars. LOVED IT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We have been fans of Hibiscus for years. Our stay did not disappoint. The addition of 'Raw and Juicy' to the food team was a stroke of genius. Espresso drinks were perfect. Breakfast offerings did not disappoint. We love the unique charm of this location amidst the unbridled 'influencer' culture of 30A. Glad to see Hibiscus still going strong!

Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse is actually under new management and is now called Raw&Juicy. I loved the area and this place has a lot of potential. I feel like they just need to tighten up their staff. The French toast was really good and I definitely recommend sharing. It would've been nice for them to update their name change on Google because we were trying to find the Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse and didn't know it was a completely different restaurant. The area is cute and I like the open outdoor concept. Although the restaurant is a vegan restaurant, they were serving fried chicken on a Sunday outside in the back.

Food is great, ambiance is cute as a button, dog friendly even inside! Great courtyard in back. 10/10 would return. Scrambled eggs with greens and sourdough toast and n ameicano. With $5 tip $22

Always love staying at the Hibiscus Inn. It is an enchanting bnb but they could make several improvements. Bedding! This can make or break a place and sadly theirs is borderline. Look at the bedcovers and sheets and think about white! It's alarming to get into bed with dark brown, very used sheets. Truly, this could make a world of difference. Everything else I think adds to the charm of the place, just think about this one (or two) suggestions. Let me add, the Raw and Juicy add on is superior!

The atmosphere of this spot is electric! Tons of outside, seating, great service, and incredibly relaxing. I got a dirty chai, and it was delicious!

Came here for coffee and breakfast while on vacation. The place itself is really cute and so vintage Florida. The menu had a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. I got a multigrain waffle with Nutella and an iced matcha latte. I was with a group of people and our orders trickled out of the kitchen slowly. The wait for some items was long. They forgot to charge us for something so we had to go back up and pay again. The service was really friendly, but definitely not prepared for a busy morning. That being said, the drinks and food were good. A little pricey for what they were, but good. My waffle was crisp and sweet and the matcha was perfect. Really cute place!

Service was fine. Good ambiance. Ordered a coffee and they NEVER gave it to me. Completely new menu that's quite pricey. Not priced to quality at all.

Not open to the public. Have to be staying at the guest house in order to order from here.

The food was over priced but I love the atmosphere. For 1 adult and a toddler(3 yrs) I ordered the blue mountain granola, plain waffle with side of fruit, strawberry smoothie and a poor over/drip cup of coffee with 2 flavors that doesn't seemed poured over it came out of a big sliver container that you would see at a hotel. It totaled $48.97with 12%tip. I was shocked!!! They bring the food to you and when done leave the items on the table to be cleaned up. It's a cute place if your looking for something different and tad pricey.

I had a wonderful stay at Hibiscus Coffee and Guesthouse! Dining at the cafe and reading in the Backyard of Love were some of the highlights of my visit. The cafe offered multiple vegan options which was especially appealing. I had the vegan waffle wonderful which was topped with yummy fresh fruit and the vegan biscuits and gravy which had a nice rosemary and pepper-y taste, it was delightful. I was also pleased by their alternative milk offerings, they had about 4 different options. The staff was friendly and nice to chat with and they had my order to me quickly. Thank you Hibiscus!!

This was a cute stop on our Destin vacation for some morning caffeinating! Located on property of a local inn, Hibiscus boasts a vegetarian-friendly cafe menu inside of a vintage Florida shop. Service was incredibly friendly and relaxed. There were many menu options for pastries, and a few egg-based items as well. We loved waiting for our food amid a plethora of old Florida antiques! My vanilla latte felt a bit weak. I realized this is because I asked for an extra shot of espresso, which the barista confirmed would be two total (usually, there are already two shots in a latte). We also were still hungry after the frittatas, which were small and pretty expensive. But we were highly impressed by the flavor of the drip coffee, and the amazing cinnamon rolls! Overall, I would recommend Hibiscus for a cute and relaxed stop if you're in the area. Just check out pictures for portion sizes and maybe ask for a triple shot in your latte.

Gluten-free waffle wonderful and veggie frittata were delicious! The staff is wonderful and we just found out they premises is a bed and breakfast which is adorable (and comes with complementary breakfast!) will definitely be coming here to stay next time we're in town! Also if you check in with yelp they offer a 50% off!

We took a quick, spontaneous trip to the beach and found this B&B on the way down and we couldn't have asked for anything better! The rooms were practical and cozy, with a historic, yet clean, feel. The place is right off of 30A and walking distance to many hot spots and local beaches. The price is exceptionally reasonable, and the employees were so kind. Our breakfast and coffee were complementary and SO good!! It was free, but we would've even paid for it - seriously so good. We truly won't go anywhere else again! Make this one of your top places to book if you're going to 30A and want to be in a walkable spot on a budget!

Super cute slice of the old South! The cafe serves a wonderful breakfast with ample portions. As a guest at the attached BnB, I'm easily skipping lunch and having a light supper from the full meal they start my day with. Friendly, helpful & attentive staff always ready to fill your coffee & make room on your table.

I really have nothing bad to say about this guest house. Even the salty Miss manning the front desk was a brilliant kind of Florida charm. We stayed in two rooms to get through the weekend. The woodpecker room was a tiny cottage with a full bed, serviceable seating area (two seats and a side table), mini fridge, and well appointed bathroom. It also has a little screened porch with a bistro table and chairs. The Turner room was upstairs with a long porch shared with the suite next door. It has a full bed, no seating area, but a larger bathroom with a tub. The whole place is decked out in magnificent mid-cent kitsch. If only they sold their framed art as souvenirs! The on-site vegan cafe is run by two lovely ladies, of whose names only Jean i remember... but they were wonderfully charming and ready to cater to our needs, preparing delightful vegetarian biscuits and gravy (which I can't find EVER!) and heaping portions of granola and fruit. Btw, the blueberry pear muffin is to die for. Plus, it is exactly right where you want to be for nightlife and dining! Everything is just a few pedals away, including lots of friendly folks. The only thing I missed, to be honest, is good coffee. I didn't care for the drip coffee or the latte at the café. Definitely worth the pedaling to get to black bear for morning joe.

"Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship." ~Epicurus Hibiscus turned 27 today, and I had the pleasure of celebrating with my friends, Kurt and Barbara, the owners. They are sweet, caring people, and Hibiscus is a reflection of them - and their good hearts." What a warm, beautiful place created by warm, beautiful people. "It is good people who make good places." ~Anna Sewell, Black Beauty And Hibiscus is such a place.

Super cute and quaint spot. We came for hot tea and smoothies and were very pleased with it!

The food tastes wonderful, and so many healthy options. The staff is very friendly although when they are busy it can take a little while. The vibe of the whole place though is a 10/10. Amazing back yard, courtyard, inside seating. Aesthetically it remains true to Old Florida.

Groovy and eclectic place. Delicious breakfast. Great bed and breakfast to stay. Short easy walk to the beach....red bar.

Such a great spot! All of the smoothies were delicious! The ladies there were very kind. The oatmeal was great and the waffle!

Such a great find! The inside is cute and quaint, service was super friendly, and the food was delicious! Highly highly recommend!

We were in the mood to try a new coffee place in the area so we decided to pop in here. Very cute bed and breakfast! The menu was pretty limited, but had most of your basics. We ordered the oatmeal and the cinnamon roll, as well as a lavender latte and a vanilla latte. Overall pretty satisfied! Atmosphere is adorable!

I almost don't want to leave a review because I want to keep this hidden gem to myself...but if you are ever in the area, staying at Hibiscus is a must! Each room is filled with old Florida charm and thoughtful themes. Breakfast in the cafe each morning was a treat and each entree was served with a generous assortment of fresh fruit. We were able to walk and bike everywhere during our stay- about a 10 minute walk right to the beach and 5-7 minutes from plenty of shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!!

Absolutely inept and completely out of it staff. Service is incredibly slow and incompetent. Took 30 mins to get a damn smoothie. Said smoothie was $9 !!!!!!! I could have to driven to the supermarket and made my own smoothie faster. Avoid this ridiculous and awful breakfast place it's horrible and outrageously expensive. I hate that I actually tipped these dopes

Got the last two rooms left in Grayton Beach! Our family of 3 slept in the Hibiscus room. In love... Hadme at claw foot tub! Whole bathroom is going in my suitcase! Vintage treasures abound! Someone here has a knack for finding and repurpose treasures from the past. Bed was very comfortable, plenty of room for our family of 3. Room has microwave, mini fridge, coffee and supplies, books, air-conditioning etc! Comes with a beautiful breakfast and incredible coffee from the breakfast cafe below. Eat inside or out in the garden like we did. Library, screened porches with fans and a gorgeous grounds with enough space for a wedding or special event. The outdoor showers are great too! The rest of our family stayed in the Art Deco room. Rad! Had its own porch with a door turned porch swing( also going in my suitcase along with the door turned bar out back) the vintage Deco vanity in there bathroom is/was stunning. (but will also be in my suitcase). This place is a slice of heaven! Not cheap but hey... When you factor in everything! Loved the sweet thang who served up love on a plate for all the guest. Dogs are allowed in the Deco not sure of all the rooms. Walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches! Maker a block away. Restaurants within walking distance. Red Bar was awesome and so was Grayton Brewery. Loved our 2 nights here! We will return!

A favorite since I was a kid growing up. The management has recently changed (in March of 2017) back to the way it was a while back. The management changed a few years ago and made Hibiscus terrible, but now that Grayton Catering is in charge again (esp. Cheri) its back to the old ways and delicious as it always was. Waffle Wonderful is

Cute and quaint little cafe, but grossly overpriced. In general, there aren't many vegan-friendly spots along 30A. I visited Hibiscus after stumbling upon a dated blog post that suggested this cafe had plenty of vegan options. They offer Van's frozen waffles with peanut butter and fruit for a whooping $10. Perhaps the cost is standard for beach restaurants, but frozen waffles just won't cut it. On a side note: the coffee is pretty good!

The breakfast was horrible and overpriced .The egg dish was pre made and microwaved . Definitely not recommend ..

My husband and I can't say enough about this sleepy, beachy, PERFECT nook of a place off Grayton beach. The people? Kind, generous and fun. The ambiance? Calming, breezy and comfortable. The food? Deliciously homemade with a lot of pride and skill. I can't say enough about this b&b. Come here and come often! Steps to the beach and great restaurants and just a 3 mile bike ride from Seaside if you want to see more crowds.

Love me some Miss Cheri! I always try and stop here when I'm in town. Waffle Wonderful and a fresh lemonade for me. So good!

Not a fan of this place at all. It tries so hard to be charming but comes across as trashy. It's what makes the panhandle the Redneck Riviera instead of the Emerald Coast. So if you're a redneck, have at it. I found the staff to be unqualified to run a business and unprofessional.. Try calling and see if they answer. The older woman that works there NEVER shuts up and has an excuse for everything. The newer rooms are quite nice but the older rooms are unimpressive. Nasty floors, tiny showers with poor water pressure, lumpy mattresses, old linens and towels. The food at the cafe was actually very good. But 20 minutes to make some oatmeal? They actually shut down their waffle maker for an hour for cleaning Sunday morning while we were there. Couldn't you do this before or after you open? You're only open for a few hours. And then that same lady who NEVER shuts up works in the restaurant as well. I will not be returning to this hotel or restaurant.

Love staying here when my husband and I want a staycation! Great breakfast and on Sundays a super awesome secret brunch spot. The guest house rooms are quaint and have that grayton 30a charm without breaking your wallet on the nightly cost. Lots of great things to do in walking distance not to mention our beautiful beaches! Friendly staff! Always recommend to my friends and family coming into town!

So much charm inside and outside!! Love the atmosphere and the southern hospitality of this place! Menu is simple but delicious! Coffee is strong! Love coming to this place.

This was a wonderful place to stay for our family. We had 12 people to house and Kurt the owner did a great job in securing us ideal accommodations. We stayed in the tropical bird and romance room plus the flat three room. They were GREAT, we enjoyed the layout, the free breakfast, the surroundings. It was just what we needed for two day stay in Grayton Beach. Grayton Beach is old Florida and so is this coffee and guesthouse. If you love hotels that are brand new and a more commercial experience. Go elsewhere. We who love vintage and less crowded will be back!

Booked several rooms for my wedding guests and was very pleased. Everyone enjoyed their stay and I would recommend them to others. They were very close to our venue as well.

My 5 Star rating comes with the caveat that is does not cover every room offered. Anything in Grayton is going to be eclectic. The Tropical Bird room is straight out of 1950; clean, comfortable, roomy and definitely retro. We looked at other rooms and were moving on, until we were offered the Tropical Bird room in which we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. Breakfast is at the Hibiscus Cafe and was wonderful. The location is within walking distance of a dozen restaurants and bike trails leading everywhere. Be sure and pet Astro if you stop bye!

Quite possibly the worst room I have ever stayed in. In my life. Ever. Spent the week at Seaside, for a wedding. After the wedding we stayed an extra night in the area. We had the misfortune in staying in the New Orleans themed "Big Easy" room. Oh, it had a lot in common with New Orleans: 1) it was dirty; 2) it smelled; 3) it was falling apart; and 4) I would not be surprised if someone was killed there. Although, that is not really fair to New Orleans. I bet the brick streets sleep better than the bed in the "Big Easy" room. And don't even get me started on the bathroom. I honestly thought someone with a video camera was going to jump out and yell "Surprise!!!" Finally, it rained the morning we left. There was no covered location to load-up a car, and the gravel parking lot flooded, requiring us to wade through inches of water, in the rain, to pack-up for our escape. This room was/is so bad, we actually took pictures to show all of our friends. If you want a room in this price range, $190.00 to $240.00, check-out the Motor Court Inn, in Seaside. If you want a room that feels like someone was recently murdered and/or shooting-up heroin, then the "Big Easy" is for you! Res Ipsa Loquitur, AC PS, My wife would give it less than one star; but, the creepy clown/jester pictures adorning the room were so over the top I have to give it one star for always remaining in my mind as terrible/horrible place.

I stayed at the Hibiscus Guesthouse with my boyfriend for one night over this past Labor Day weekend. We had a lovely time and are already planning a trip back. I think the gentleman who checked us in was either the owner or manager. He was very laid back and friendly. We arrived an hour or so before our check in time but our room was just about ready, so the process was easy. We stayed in the Art Deco room which has this great private, screened inn porch with a table and chairs, a rocking chair, and a porch swing. The room was clean and a perfect size for two people. We did hear the people above us walking around sometimes, so light sleepers might want to take that into account. It didn't bother us at all. We had breakfast in the cafe the next morning, which was included in the stay. That was a nice little bonus. The cafe was quirky and had lots of fun and funky decorations. Jean served us breakfast, and I believe she is also the housekeeper. She was a very kind woman. The breakfast was actually pretty good and they had a decent amount of choices. The guesthouse is a little farther from the beach than we originally thought, but it was a great walk through the neighborhood. People with walking issues might want to think about that. All in all, we had a wonderful time and will be back soon.

Our wedding reception was at the HIbiscus a few weeks ago and it was absolutely perfect. Stephanie and Colin are hands down two of the most wonderful people on the planet. From day one of planning they were both incredibly helpful and easy to work with - and I only visited them once in person before the big day since we live in Dallas. All of our friends and family that stayed at the Hibiscus for the wedding weekend had a wonderful time and continue to tell us how much they enjoyed their stay, all their food and the reception space. Stephanie was very helpful with supplying me vendors to call for cake, chairs, tents, music, etc and always promptly and professionally responded to my calls and emails. Each of the guest rooms are unique and we loved getting to see each room our friends/family stayed in. They are all so much fun and we love the old Florida feel. Colin, the Cafe chef, was wonderful to work with and went out of his way to cater to my vegetarian diet and my sister's gluten free diet. Colin also prepared breakfast for about 13 family members the morning of the wedding. It was beautifully prepared and decorated in the Backyard of Love space. Our reception food was incredible and everyone went out of their way to let us know they enjoyed it. We also very much enjoyed Sunday Brunch - the music, the food and the atmosphere. I cannot say enough good things about the Hibiscus and their entire team - everyone is so friendly and helpful. We will be back soon to see you guys - not soon enough, but soon!

Excellent breakfast menu, great staff. The menus are always constantly changing with the chef Bradley Moore. Just a very welcoming feel and great old fashioned environment. Highly recommend!

This place was adorable. Very vintage. It is so nice that you can just use the room for a couple of days and that is something you can't find with homes or condos, where you have to rent for a week. The bed was really comfortable and the room we stayed in "The Hibiscus" was very well equipped with a fridge and even some wine glasses. The room we stayed in was right above the cafe, so if you are a person that sleeps in, i wouldn't reccomend this room, but the staff was very upfront with us (even says it on the site) that it would be a little noisy. The grounds are adorable and it is really close to everything. I will have to say, the breakfast was horrible. It took 30 minutes and tasted awful. But the coffee and chai tea latte's were wonderful. We will definitely stay here again, we will just go down the street to "Another Broken Egg" for breakfast :)

Awesome Sunday brunch - best all around on 30A with laid back atmosphere, outdoor dining & live music! You can get mimosas on Sundays with brunch for a donation to local charities. Back Yard of Love is a great way to spend a Sunday before you hit the beach!

Retro, cozy bed and breakfast setting with excellent homemade breakfast and lunch items. Fresh eggs, hearty biscuits. Several vegetarian options ; I enjoyed the veggie burger on pretzel roll. A nice change from other nearby sites.

Hibiscus is charming and tranquil. We stayed in the old Florida room for one night and we wished we could have stayed weeks! The accommodations were quaint and quiet yet still centrally located. There are plenty of places on hibiscus grounds to read and relax, including he backyard of love, various porches, cafe, and small library. Walk to the beach in under 10 minutes. Breakfast is great - coffee was excellent! The owners were extremely friendly and hospitable. Hibiscus was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Stayed here for a night on the way to New Orleans. I was wary from the couple bad reviews as am quite a travel snob, but was so pleasantly surprised in every way. The room was spotless, had every convenience, extremely accommodating staff and was in a wonderful location just up from the beach. It had a hippie beachy vibe, lovely courtyard and beautiful spot. I would definitely come back.

Stay here! Any bad reviews you read about this place must be from people who prefer a generic Holiday Inn kind of place. I LOVED it here and found everything perfect. I stayed in the Woodpecker Cottage, which was affordable, clean and quiet. The bed was delightfully comfortable. The cafe is lovely, convenient and delicious. AND, it's part of the room rate, so--it's free! (I felt a little guilty not paying for such a big, fresh breakfast. I prefer the occasional eggs and bacon, so ran down the street to a diner once. A short walk to the gorgeous beach gave me some exercise. And, good restaurants, bars and galleries within walking distance. I'll be back.

Rooms are typical Bed and Braekfast style, very quaint and cozy , clean. The best part of stay is eating Breakfast at Cafe downstairs. Home cooked food with very freindly service. Absolute must place to have Breakfast when on 30A!

Great bed & breakfast - enjoyed the "Old Florida Room" and the waffle was so good I had it two mornings in a row. Fresh coffee, OJ and all that fruit topping on the waffle was yummy!
