Vacation experts (Destin or San Destin?)

That is good to hear! I ended up booking a place in Miramar Beach last night. Appreciate the dinning advice too, will def check those places out. Also hoping to do a fishing charter.
If you like Italian, Tuscany Italian Bistro is very good, too. Take a drive East to Donut Hole for breakfast / brunch, don't try to go to the one West in Destin, it's way too crowded. The Surf Hut is also pretty good and if you want something different, try McGuire's Irish Pub in Destin.
