Hibearnation - a place to Relax, Refresh and Dream

Year round vacation enjoyment, 200 feet from the water’s edge, and just a short walking distance from the Nature Preserve along miles of crystal clear beaches. Enjoy beautiful Gulf views and spectacular sunrises and sunsets while watching for Dolphins, Herons and other wildlife from three levels of decking furnished with director’s and lounge chairs and tables. The ground level offers covered parking and tasteful low-level landscape lighting for comfort and security at night. Hot and cold water in the fully-enclosed lighted shower and outdoor sink make it easy to leave the 'beach' behind. The picnic table is shaded from the sun.

All the conveniences of your own home without the work, sleeping 8, this 4 BR/2BA spacious and well-appointed two level home features a spiral stair to a loft affording guests easy access to the 4th open loft bedroom and even more Gulf views via the cathedral windows. All rooms are furnished with built-in shelves, dressers, and drawers with spacious storage throughout. Sit back and enjoy the ambiance provided by the electric fireplaces in the Great room and Master Bedroom. Dish Satellite access connected to six television sets with DVD's means no arguing over what to watch. A 48" LCD HDTV in the Great room is connected to a Bose surround-sound system for your listening pleasure that can also be controlled in the Master bedroom. Or, curl up with a novel from the 'book exchange' library in the Master bedroom. The Great room offers a mirrored, granite countertop wet bar with a wine/beverage cooler. Granite countertops and tables throughout the fully equipped Kitchen (with walk-in pantry), Dining room and Great room make this living space both comfortable and easy to maintain. 'We have tried to provide everything so you don’t have to'. The screened porch with lighted ceiling fan off the Queen bedroom allows for an additional relaxing and eating space.

Secure wireless Internet make it easy to stay in contact with friends and family who can only 'wish they were here'. A 'Welcome Package' of paper products allows you to begin your vacation from the minute you unlock the sliding glass door.

Charters are available nearby for deep sea and in-shore fishing, or you may enjoy a boat trip which allows you to watch the dolphins play.

Perfect Spot

We always love staying at Hibearnation! We love the house and the quiet beach. It’s about a 20 minute drive into town but we love being out of the busyness of the tourist area yet still close enough to go in and enjoy some nice meals in the evenings if we want to. No complaints here😊

Not good

The road to the property was a washed out sand road full of massive holes. The forst thing the keys were in the house not in the lock box. The main door was inop . They sent someone right out. So from the t I me we got there till we left very underwlming property.The house itself was fine very dirty. Where there were vents they were full of dust. Every one of them . The bathroom fans were outdated and yellow. The door handle collars on three doors were hanging off. The dishwasher hose was not connected so that made a mess flooded the kitchen. Not a good place. The guest batroom had the handle broken off in the shower to turn water on. The ceiling fan in the huest room was broken. Barely spins. The utensils still had food on them that were in the drawer. We had an ant infestation on the last day. The property manager was belpful but when she told me it was the end of the season and the wear and tear can be expected i lost interest in speaking to them. I spent 6000 plus with taxes for a house that the manager even says was not up to par. I am probably going to call the credit card company and report this as unhappy with product and then pay them what i think its worth to stay here . Its not worth 6000 needing all this repair. Its ridiculous to have to pay premium for a sub par renatal.

Very nice getaway

The property was very nice. The door was a bit hard to lock, but the manager got someone on that right away. We had all the cooking supplies/utensils, we could need. The beach access was wonderful. Had no problems with neighbors being loud. It was a really nice way to celebrate our friends and our daughters high school graduation. Would highly recommend this property.

Our favorite place to stay

We love all aspects of this property from the layout of the home and all the amenities. The top deck offers privacy and sunbathing opportunities, the middle deck offers protection from the sun. The screened in porch provides a great place to eat and watch the dolphins. Underneath the house offers a place to cook on the grill. Love the location too! We appreciated being able to stay at this wonderful home! Thank you!

Beautiful Location!

7 adults stayed for a week in this property. The location was perfect and the scenery beautiful. Our only complaint is that the living room furniture was just wicker outdoor furniture and there were not enough places for everyone to sit out together. For this reason, we will probably not stay at this location again, but we will definitely stay in the same area.

This is the second time staying in this house and it once again exceeded my expectations. The house is absolutely gorgeous and we love the private beach. Jackie responded immediately to my questions (no issues, just normal everyday questions).
