Hibiscus Heights

Friendly and accommodating owners. The location is walking distance to some good restaurants and Mt. Irvine beach.

Good safe location.. close to beach and restaurants and airport. Only downside was climbing stairs to upper level.. was fine for my family but elderly folks may have a hard time.

I stayed here for a week-long get-away in mid-June 2019 and had a a great time. We had the corner sea view apartment on the second floor. The apartment has a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea & a small private patio where we could have coffee and read in the mornings. The owner of the property, Glory, is such a delightful person and was always eager to help. Upon my request, she gave me a hair dryer to use during my stay. She also helped connect me to a car rental agency. The house is on a hill and you are just a short 10 minute walk to the beach from the property. We walked down to the beach daily. The area around the guesthouse (Pleasant Prospect, Black Rock) is pretty quiet, but there are a couple of local restaurants (Fish Pot, Legger's), bars (Moon over Water, Edge of the Reef), a coffee shop/fast food pizza, a small store, and an ATM. A bit further up the road is a fancy restaurant right on the beach called Waves. We had dinner there one night to splurge. A bit further down the road in the opposite direction is Irvine Bay Beach and there are a few more places to eat in that area. Wifi connection was good in our room and we had cable and air conditioning. You wake up to the sound of local roosters. This is a great place to stay if you're looking for some down time to chill, not wanting to be in the mix of a huge crowd, want to be able to make your own meals, and hang out on your balcony for hours reading and watching the ocean. Had such a relaxing week at this retreat!

Hibiscus Heights is a great spot for a week's vacation, a very attractive villa with spacious and pleasing accommodation (though the decor and fittings could do with a bit of sprucing up). The owner/manager (Glory) is a wonderful host and very service-minded, always willing to help and assist. Although small and a little outside Black Rock, a major bonus is that Pleasant Prospect has 3 top-quality fine dining establishments within 2 minutes walk, plus 2 more and an attractive small crafts shop down on the beach road about 10 minutes walk. All in all, highly recommended, and we hope to return.soon
