Romantic Date Night in Destin

Whether you are looking to celebrate an anniversary, engagement, Valentine’s Day, or simply the spirit of Love while on your Destin Beach Vacation, here are our recommendations for a special romantic date night in Destin.

Fine dining restaurant in the Henderson Park Inn, conveniently located on scenic gulf drive near our condo rentals.  This is one truly romantic date night out in Destin, whether you splurge on the VIP Toes in the Sand dining under-the-stars experience or enjoy the regular dining room… I highly recommend the Grouper Vince.

Marina Cafe: Located on the Harbor in Destin, next door to Boshamps, is a wonderful fine-dining favorite, Marina Café. Be sure to get there early to enjoy half-price cocktails and sushi in the bar area before your delicious dinner while watching the boats roll in and out.

Segar’s Prime Steak & Seafood: Well known for one of the best steaks in the area, Seagar’s is a renowned New York-style steak house located on the grounds of San Destin resort, about a five-minute drive from our Majestic Sun and Beach House condos.

Bitter Root Destin: offers premium cocktails and delicious and inventive cuisine. It is conveniently located near Home Goods and Home Depot, about a five-minute drive from the condos. It is also a fantastic choice for brunch or lunch.

Bijoux: Billed as coastal cuisine with a New Orleans flair.  Bijoux is well known for being the most romantic Restaurant as the restaurant of the year.  Food and Spirits is Destin’s premiere establishment for high-end cuisine and cocktails.

Louisiana Lagniappe I think everyone knows how much I love the Winter Special at Lagniappe. Two can dine with a bottle of wine for $69. This is just such a terrific deal. But no matter the time of year, the atmosphere is lovely, the wait is not terrible, and the food is delicious. This place is located on Holiday Isle in the Sandpiper Cove neighborhood.

Laura Co-Owner

Hi, I’m Laura Clayton — co-owner of Beach Condos in Destin, Realtor with World Impact Real Estate, full-time vacation rental nerd, and full-time mom-on-the-go. When I’m not helping guests find the perfect beachfront condo in Destin or Miramar Beach, I’m usually taking care of my two dogs, Lily (my terrier mix) and Ziggy (my standard Goldendoodle), or sitting at what feels like my 1,000th sporting event cheering on my kids, Reece and Liam. If you’ve ever tried answering emails from the bleachers, you’ll understand my life perfectly. I’ve spent nearly two decades in the vacation rental world, helping thousands of families make memories along the Emerald Coast — from first-time beach trips to traditions that bring guests back year after year. I love creating welcoming, pet-friendly spaces, coming up with slightly ridiculous beachy condo names, and making sure our homes feel comfortable, clean, and genuinely cared for. As a Realtor with World Impact Real Estate, I also help buyers and owners navigate the real estate side of beach living — whether that means purchasing an investment property, selling a condo, or maximizing rental potential while still keeping a place that feels like home. At the end of the day, I’m just someone who loves the beach, loves people, and believes vacations should feel easy, personal, and a little bit special. If you’re planning a stay — or thinking about owning a piece of the beach yourself — I’d love to help. Let’s get your flip-flops in the sand and make it a great one 🌊👣
