Last month I had the opportunity to take an amazing trip to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resortin Florida with 7 of my favorite food bloggers. We had the BEST time! We made s’mores at a beach bonfire, ate, shopped, ate, went to the spa, ate, paddle boarded, oh, and ate! LOL!
We stayed in the Lasata building in the Grand Sandestin on the Bayside of the resort. It was close to lots of shopping and restaurants. It was great! I was able to park my car and leave in the garage all weekend. Sandestin has a complimentary shuttle service. You can track the shuttle on the Sandestin app. Very helpful!
Today I am going to share everything we did and everywhere we ate in Sandestin.
We started the trip with a s’mores party and bonfire on the beach.
Amanda is the queen of s’mores! She brought tons of great toppings.
My favorite was Ritz Crackers, Salted Caramel, Dark Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallow.
I also love a Ritz, Toasted Marshmallow and Butterfinger Cup. OMG!
You must make s’mores on Ritz Crackers. You can’t beat the sweet and salty combo!
Breakfast the next morning was at The Sunset Bay Cafe.
It was SOOO delicious!
Everything was homemade and delicious.
We got the Southern Fries – sidewinder fries topped with bacon, homemade gravy and cheese. I could have made a meal out of these fries. They were ridiculous!
The Cinnamon Roll was topped with Homemade Orange Cream Cheese Frosting. Amazing!
The Chicken and Waffles were huge and plenty to split with a friend.
The Sandestin Executive Chef, Javier Rosa, cooked us an amazing 5-course meal right inside our condo. Javier previously worked for the Ritz Carlton and the Miami Heat. He recently came to Sandestin to be the resorts Executive Chef. We were all super excited about the meal!
The food was out of this world delicious!
First Course
Gumbo “Bisque” Style and Heavenly Farms Crispy Green Tomato, Watercress Salad, Florida’s Orange Vinaigrette, Aged Chevre Cheese Crumble, Truffle Scented
All of the food was amazing. My favorites were the Pork and dessert.
It was a real treat having the chef cook right in our condo.
After working up an appetite shopping, we headed to lunch at The Beach House.
The Beach House is located right next door to the Hilton Sandestin.
If you are familiar with Sandestin, The Beach House is located in the old Elephant Walk location.
You don’t have to be a guest at the resort to eat here. Just tell the guards you are eating at The Beach House, and you can get into the resort to eat some fabulous food.
Everyone at The Beach House was SUPER nice!
They took such great care of us. We sampled lots of great food.
We all loved the presentation of the food. Look at those desserts on the wooden paddle.
The drinks are really good too!
Everything was delicious and you couldn’t beat the view! Right on the beach!
I'd love to ein! I haven't had a vacation since 2008 and haven't been to the Gulf Coast since August, 1992. It's time to go back!

I would love a getaway especially now or soon as we get moved as this is really a strain on our body and mind.
