Clean, comfortable, and friendly

Reviewed By MSanchoH

Although I expected the hotel to be clean, I was downright impressed with just how clean the entire facility was. Every employee that I crossed paths with during my stay was extremely pleasant and helpful, and the overall vibe helped make our trip that much better. The hotel is not located on the beach side, so there are no views to speak of, but it is in a very nice walking community that is full of upscale amenities that adds to the overall experience.

Great stay

Reviewed By Michelle H

Our room was great! Lots of room. The hotel was extremely crowded, but we only stayed 1 night because the hotel was booked all week. It was a Friday, so I understand that’s why it was so crowded. Love the breakfast.

Family trip to Miramar beach

Reviewed By BeachBank134

Great family trip to the Miramar area. I was a tad bit disappointed that beach access meant walking across the street to the beach but still better than driving to the beach. Hot breakfast and omelette station was great. Room was clean upon arrival. Towels were available when requested. Added bonus of ceiling fans in room, great surprise. Small pool and no jets in hut tub but they were still an option before and after beach fun. Evening reception was available but snack offerings of cheese puffs, peanuts and pretzels was a disappointment when compared to other Embassy’s. Service was exceptional, great staff.

Courtyard by Marriott Sandestin at Grand Boulevard

Very Quiet and Comfortable

Reviewed By R W

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I got a good nights sleep without any disturbances. The pool was closed because it was outdoors and it was raining. The bathroom was all good except there was no hot water. I found the breakfast to be over priced and not very good at all. Other than that everything else was great. Parking was easy once you get on the property. there is a "Round-A-Bout" at the entrance that was usually backed up making it slow to get into the property. Dumbest thing I have ever seen.

Hibiscus Coffee and Guesthouse

We are a clean and laid back bed and breakfast, located in Grayton Beach. We have 3 buildings offering 13 unique accommodations. All include AC, mini-fridge or better, private bath, coffee pot, satellite TV, beach towels and breakfast in the café. Our smallest room is the Magnolia. It's pretty cozy and has a shower (no tub), but it does have a queen-sized bed to sleep in. Like other rooms in the Café Building, it is decorated in a Florida beach house style. Our largest accommodations are the Flats (think Florida condo). All feature a full king-room, kitchen, washer/dryer, large flat screen and a fold out sofa in the living room. The upstairs flats have private balconies. Bert's Barn, one of the oldest buildings in town, has a warm, eclectic, old Florida feel. Rooms include the Tropical Bird and Romance upstairs which are adjoined by a kitchen and work well together as a suite. We also have the ADA compliant room called the Big easy. In addition, three of our accommodations are pet friendly. Fun fact, the Bert's Barn was built in 1904 and transplanted from down the street.

Wonderful Stay

My wife and I had a wonderful two night stay in the Woodpecker Cottage. It was a cozy and comfortable room. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy. The guesthouse is a quick walk from the beach and there are several excellent state parks an easy drive away. We both highly recommend staying here.
