Who doesn’t love a beach vacation where you can stroll to dinner with sandy toes and a sun-kissed glow? Whether you’re craving fresh seafood, fried pickles, or a quick chicken sandwich, our condos in Destin and Miramar Beach are just steps from some seriously tasty spots. Skip the car, grab your flip-flops, and let’s talk walkable eats!
Kenny D’s Beach Bar & Grill
Closest condos: Leeward Key, Beach Retreat, Maravilla
Located right next to Leeward Key (like literally next door!), Kenny D’s is a laid-back New Orleans-style restaurant that locals and repeat guests rave about. Think blackened fish, po’boys, gumbo, and signature hurricanes with a kick. Bonus: they’ve got a pet-friendly patio—just like many of our condos!
Captain Dave’s on the Gulf
Closest condos: Leeward Key, Beach Retreat, Maravilla
Perched on the beach and serving up Gulf-front views for days, Captain Dave’s is ideal for a sunset dinner. This is the spot for upscale seafood with casual vibes—try the Grouper Parm or their famous Crab Cakes. You can be from condo to cocktail in five minutes flat.
Still not convinced? Feast your eyes on this! This photo was taken right from Leeward Key—yep, all these amazing eats are just a short stroll away.

Pompano Joe’s Seafood House
Closest condos: Maravilla, Beach Retreat, Crystal View
Just a short stroll along Scenic Gulf Drive, Pompano Joe’s is a Destin classic with a Caribbean twist. The jerk shrimp, mahi tacos, and fruity frozen drinks make this a must-visit. It’s colorful, casual, and perfect for families or couples looking for fun beachy vibes and live music.

Chick-fil-A (Yes, Really!)
Closest condos: Majestic Sun Condos, Seascape
Sometimes, you just need some waffle fries and a frosted lemonade. For our guests staying at Majestic Sun, Chick-fil-A is a quick walk across the street. It’s ideal for grab-and-go breakfast before hitting the sand, or a late-night nugget run after a long beach day. Don’t judge—it’s vacation!
