School has started, we are over the peak-season hump and things are starting to slow down.  Our friends at Hibiscus say it’s a good time to offer some GOOD DEALS and an opportunity to WIN A WEEK’S STAY for when things really start to slow down. To start, they just lowered weekday rates across the board by about a third: a $40 to $120 per night savings. They also have an exclusive “Weekday Run of the House” deal for friends and past patrons where you can save as much as an additional $90/night. Save up to $165/night for weekday nights through September 20th.    https://sowal.com/story/hibiscus-coffee-and-guesthouse-in-grayton-beach-discounts-contest Read More
