A very hot month in South Walton, and quite busy. You will want plenty of cold drinks and watermelon on hand.

Just Come and Be... (Southern Living, June 2005)

It's simply a place to "be." That word starts the commands Cheri Peebles writes on the board at Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse every mornmg. "It's all about us," she says in that Grayton way. "It's usually something I need that day, 'Be Grateful' or 'Be Understanding', or 'Be Optimistic.'"
