A Publix Grocery Store, a Fresh Market, Whole Foods, a World of Beer, many other retail stores, and many nationally known restaurants are also close by. This location places you a short distance away from all the action at Harborwalk Village on the bustling Destin Marina, family fun at the Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin, and bargain shopping at Silver Sands Premium Outlets in Miramar Beach.
