Top South Walton Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Loved recent stay here. The location cant be beat for walking to the beach or quickly going elsewhere in the 30A communities. The paved bike path is also right there. The coffee shop now called Raw and Juicy next door has excellent food and is quite popular. Our room was clean and well stocked with towels, beach towels, blankets, etc. The only negative for us was not paying to attention to one detail. The full kitchen was great but it is shared with another room. The common entry to the two rooms is through the kitchen. Just a little awkward. The property has two main buildings and our room was upstairs in the older building so of course it feels a little dated if use to very modern rooms. Suspect rooms in newer building more modern. The large chairs on front porch were great for sitting out even when raining. We liked the convenience of renting an umbrella and beach chairs set up for use right at the water line on Gulf. The Black Bear Bakery and coffee shop opening at 7 am just up the road was our go to spot. Definitely stay again."
