Very Clean, Nicely equipped place had a yard with a small patio. Owner was attentive not pushy. Drawbacks were a Very Small Cramped Bathroom & Old Uncomfortable Mattresses.

House served us well. Not far from the beach and attractions.

Hibiscus House was just as described. User Manual was extraordinary, with extensive information on all Cape activity. Three air conditioners were sufficient to deal with heat wave.

Idyllic property in a perfect location; short walk to the beach, centre of the Cape and a 2 min stroll to the bagel shop. Also the garden is arranged for relaxation and interesting visits form the local wildlife.

This charming home is perfect for a fall get away. October is an excellent time to visit the Cape and we had perfect weather. Hibiscus Beach House is a short walk from the beach, where our dog exhausted himself retrieving his tennis ball from the water. Dogs are allowed on most beaches on the Cape after Labor Day. At the other end of the street is a cranberry bog and we bought plenty of FRESH berries back for the holidays. There is an excellent fish store just a short drive away and with a grill in the backyard we made some excellent meals. There are also wonderful restaurants in the area especially 4 Seasons, a new one. The backyard at Hibiscus Beach home is very comfortable and you can enjoy all the birds at the feeder. We even saw a red bellied woodpecker there one morning. Our favorite beaches were Nauset in Orleans, Coastal Island in Wellsfleet and Race Point up in P'town. We saw a large group of seals very near the shore at Race Point. P'town is very dog friendly and has many great restaurants as well. Hibiscus House is centrally located so it was easy to head out for the day and visit many places. Although we never met Jean, Bob is great and very helpful with all the info provided at the house, dog beaches, restaurants, bikes, whale watching. Something for everyone here. If you've never visited the Cape in the fall you might want to give it a try, no crowds either. We definitely recommend Hibiscus House and look forward to returning next October.

The place is pretty good overall. Beds are comfortable, there is cable TV, Internet, air conditioners and washer/dryer, which are all big pluses. The bathroom needs towel hooks. Owners provide a lot of games, books and they even have a website with directions to nearby attractions. But the house was a bit dusty when we arrived and there were not enough cleaning supplies to leave it in the same "perfect condition" that the owner expects. Bring your own floor mop, vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies, because the owner will charge you extra cleaning fee for the spills on the kitchen floor. Here is an example of the things that the owner picked on in the end and charged us extra clelaning fee: - dirty dishes left in the sink (I left one dish, because we were rushed out) - spills over most of the stove area. I remember wiping the stove... - failure to wipe up spills on the kitchen floors (there was no mop in the house) - chewed gum left on the table and nightstand - the dryer lint filter was full - the grille was not cleaned after final use - a wine glass was broken and spilled wine was left on the floor. Again, there was no mop, but I cleaned the floor as much as I could with paper towels. - the dresser door had to be repaired (that door must have already been broken, because the dresser was really old). - burnt teapot. The teapot had a broken whistle, so my husband didn't hear it. Alltogether the "damage" came to over 100 dollars. Last year we rented from a different guy, who didn't have cable TV and washer/dryer, but he was very nice and didn't charge us any money for the broken table lamp, not to mention the small nit-picky stuff like chewing gum.

My family was very pleased with Hibiscus House. The owners, Bill and Jean, live nearby and are friendly, informative and prompt in responding to questions. The property is well maintained, very clean and nicely decorated (with a nautical flair of course). Bring your own bed linens and towels but just about everthing else you may need is there including toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a fresh dish sponge, Dawn dish soap, laundry detergent and Softsoap in the bathroom. The kitchen had all the dishes, cookware and utensils we needed and the refrigerator was pristine. The bathroom was also very clean - there is a tub with shower but we only used the delightful outdoor shower. One funny thing about the bathroom is that the toilet is very close to the tub making it a challenge for longer legged people to sit down but we all managed just fine. The yard is relaxing with an outdoor table and plenty of seating, a hammock and a vegetable/flower garden. The basement access (with washer/dryer) is only from the yard and has storage space for bikes if needed. There are also some outdoor games stored down there. It is in a very good mid Cape location - a short walk up the street to the quiet bay beach and within biking distance to the Nantucket ferry, tennis courts and Sea Gull Beach. Plenty of restaurants, shopping and minigolf/arcades within a few miles and some within walking distance. There are binders with local attraction and restaurant info in a kitchen cabinet. We had excellent weather but on the one rainy day there were plenty of movies, games and magazines at the house to keep us busy as well as good wireless internet service.There does not seem to be a landline phone anymore but with cell phones none is needed. If we return to the Cape we would not hesitate to stay here unless we had too large a group.

In the end of August we enjoyed a wonderful sunny week at the Hibiscus Beach House with our two children (10 + 12 years old). The house is very cosy and comfortable and offers everything you need for a perfect vacation. The children found a little boat and kite for the beach, there were games, books and all kinds of maps for exploring Cape Cod. We especially loved the garden with the hammock, BBQ facilities and tomatoes. We shared the garden with lots of birds, squirrels and rabbits! As good as the house is its situation close to a nice little beach and also close to road 28 from where you can reach all Cape Cod attractions. We went to different beaches, the great sand dunes near Provindetown, to a Whale Watch Tour etc. which we can all recommend. Thank you to Bob and his wife for this nice place to stay.

My partner and I are just back from Cape Cod and I have to say it was just perfect! The cottage was as described - it was a real home from home - we would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to visit New England. The location is excellent for exploring the area and it has lots of facilities nearby eg restaurants, food stores and a handy liquer store for that all important bottle of wine! When there we also travelled to NYC by local bus (Hyannis) ok, it was quite long..but the bus was really comfortable and took us to the center of New York in around 6hrs. We spent 2 days there and had a fantastic time!! Well worth the journey.

The Hibiscus Beach House was like a home away from home. The cottage was exactly as advertised in the photos displayed on the website. When we walked in it was just like coming home. The property was clean and very homey. The owner was there to greet us and show us anything we needed to know that was not included in the property description. We would definately recommend this to a friend. It was better than a motel room because you had a separate living room to relax in with comfortable furniture. Your bed was not also you relaxing sofa or chair because these were separate areas, unlike a motel room. We had planned on cooking some meals in, and everything was there to make that doable, but with the schedule we put ourselves on we ate all evening meals out. We did eat breakfast in on the days when we were not out of the house early for site seeing. We will definately choose the Hibiscus house on our next visit to the Cape because of its central location to everything on the Cape.

The Hibiscus Beach House is such a comfortable, lovely home its like the nurturing atmosphere associated with Grandma's house. The location is prime for enjoying various activities all within driving distance. The house is very clean and well maintained, complete with any household item you could possibly think of. Bob and Jean are honest, delightful people who really care about their renters. We have rented the house twice so far and will hopefully be renting it a third time this year!

we arrived in a storm. our first night was by candelight bob arrived with the candles .at this point we met the hibiscus beach house owner. who couldnt do enough for us.this was the start of a week we will cherish forever. the house was spotless cosy,everthing you need ideal for touring cape cod.
