the place to BE:
Find yourself in a new
state of mind at Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse
By Carolyn Mason, Photos by Robert Sutton - Tuscaloosa Magazine, Beach 2009
"Be present," commands the board in front of the Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse
in Grayton Beach, Fla. I wasn’t sure what to think. I arrived after a five-hour
drive from Tuscaloosa. That made me present, didn’t it?
"Not exactly," says owner Cheri Peeples after welcoming me with her trademark
bear hug. "Being fully present is something you work on. It’s a mindful presence
that’s different from just being there. It’s the Grayton way," she explained.
Every morning, Peeples, or the employee who arrives first, writes the second
half of the two-word message on the board facing the entrance to the Grayton
Beach neighborhood and the Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse. It didn’t take long to
get into the swing of the Grayton way. [ . . . ]

Top 10 at the Beach
Murray Balkcom - Thicket Magazine, March/April 2009
In our special little beach area of Florida’s Emerald Coast, there are no
big-box stores, dance clubs, and chain restaurants. Some people want that from
their beach vacation, and tend to stay in the bigger towns of Destin and Panama
City Beach. But for folks wanting something different, then south Walton County
is the place for you. We ’re for the visitor who‘s never heard of Sally’s in
Blue Mountain Be ach and has no clue that Sally’s has the absolute-best fried
chicken they will ever eat, but after a tip from an insider like me, you’ll go
home with that little gem tucked away for future vacations.
My list of 10 hidden gems follows (in no particular order), and I highly
recommend all of the places on this list, along with encouragement to find your
own secrets on the Emerald Coast. [ . . . ]
[ . . . ]My favorite hidden gem in South Walton is unknown to even many
locals, but slowly they are discovering it. Hibiscus Coffee and Guest House[ . . . ]

Deborah Garrison Lowery-Southern Breeze 2008 Spring Issue
Spinach and Feta Frittata
Cheri Peebles of Hibiscus Coffee and
Guesthouse in Grayton Beach, Florida, had to run back to the kitchen and whip up
this recipe to write down the amounts to share with Southern Breeze. She laughs
as she admits, "I don't usually follow a recipe." She recommends serving the
crustless quiche-like wedges to guests with a side of fruit salad topped with
coconut [ . . . ]

Havens | Grayton Beach, Fla.A Gulf
Retreat for the Upscale but Unfussy
Beth Greenfield -The New York Times, June 6, 2008
WHEN Mike Ford was in college, he became acquainted
with the Florida Panhandle’s coast on spring-break jaunts that lured him to its
developed, party-hearty beach towns [...] [W]hen his future wife introduced him
to the small and far-removed Grayton Beach, [...], he didn’t quite know what to
make of it[...]
Grayton Beach certainly stands out along Florida’s Emerald Coast and its
scenic Route 30A, which offers a tour of the Panhandle’s most exclusive resort
communities[...]
