This is our 40th winter St. John visit, the 16th booking with the incomparable Lisa, but our 1st at Hibiscus Gardens. It’s a lovely house, and, like all of Lisa’s, immaculate and well-appointed. Close to town, good neighborhood, but extremely private. The layout is fine for one couple, but would offer privacy for two, as the bedrooms are on opposite ends of the living space. Breezes keep it cool in the afternoon, and it faces north-east so the inside hardly ever gets full sun; this would be especially important in warmer months. Deck & pool mostly shaded for the sun-wary. We rarely used the air conditioning. Outside the back door is a tree with large, fuzzy pink blooms which attract hummingbirds, often more than a dozen at a time in the morning. (I flight of steps down from parking to house - no wheelchairs.) Like the hummingbirds, we hope to come back.
