“Went in to have my driver shaft replaced and it was done before I had a chance to look through the store! They are absolutely the nicest people. What a great experience.”
“Stopped by on a lunchbreak a week ago or so for the first time after realizing that 1. the local skatepark was rained out and 2. I needed a good bag for pads, helmet, and board. I walked in and saw bags on the wall, found one I liked and struck up conversation with Keith behind the counter - turned out he knew some of my old 80s skate and music friends from back in the Pensacola days, gave me the run down on the bag I had picked out, and offered to ship anything to my home in Gulf Breeze right away if I needed it. Real folks, lots of legacy here and a very cool vibe. It looked like they had lots of gear and plenty of staff to assist with anything. Will definitely be my lunchbreak stop in the future for new goods.”
“A great running/pickleball store complete with one indoor pb court. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the products carried. Professional gear for all !!!”
“The owner or an employee was stocking when we came in for live bait. He happened to be out at the time but pointed us in the direction of another place that was in stock. I'll be spending money here in our future trips to Destin.”
“Absolutely wonderful would definitely recommend even if not a fisherman, but if you are you definitely know what I am talking about here with the amazing experience.”

“I have been in the Eagles Nest several times over the years. The staff is super friendly and love their dogs that lounge around the store. They also offer a variety of unique gifts and apparel. If you have visited the store you really should. Guarantee you won’t leave the store empty handed:)”
“AMAZING Customer service, attention to detail, pricing, and selection! Being a relatively new ballet parent shopping for this specific gear is completely out of my expertise. We walked in and were immediately greeted. We needed ballet shoes and a leotard for an upcoming audition. We started by browsing the great selection of dancewear until we found the perfect leotard. Once we were done finding the right one, the sales team member already had the correct ballet shoes, in the correct color, and everything ready for as fitting! Ballet slippers where on the sales team member went straight to work checking a correct fitment in a variety of poses. The sales team member went twice to grab a different brand of ballet slipper to ensure the best fit possible was achieved. Not only showing incredible attention to detail but also a true passion for ballet and dance. I’m sure the other families buying ballet pointe shoes today received had the same experience. An experience of where the people running this awesome dance store not only have a passion for dance wear, but also the dancers who are in them. 10/10 will recommend. Great job!”
“Best spearfishing and freediving shop for literally hundreds of miles. Used them to go on multiple inshore and offshore spearfishing charters. Everytime they put me on good fish, in great conditions, and I came home with full coolers. They helped me get a great deal on a gun and accessories to make me a better spearfisherman.
Overall, I can't say enough good things about the team at Benthic.
If you are at all interested or involved, stop by and visit them.”
“Your one stop shop for anything tactical. Their knowledgable staff makes building the proper kit easy. This is a one of a kind store that you wont find anywhere else. Very supportive of military personal and the local mission at hand. Thank you GSS for what you do for the local community.”
“Great local shop for surf boards. Nice selection of clothing and accessories. I'm not sure if the woman working was the owner.
She was so friendly and accommodating. It made my shopping experience even better than I expected.”

“I had an outstanding experience with Erik and the guys at Eat My Tackle. From start to finish their service was professional, efficient, and genuinely customer-focused. I sent in a fishing reel that I thought might be beyond saving, but Erik took the time to carefully assess the issue, explain what needed to be done, and walk me through the repair process in a way that was easy to understand.
Not only was the repair completed quickly, but the reel now works like it’s brand new—smooth, reliable, and ready for the water.
If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your gear, I highly recommend Eat My Tackle. Exceptional workmanship and top-tier customer service all around.”
“The people here were awesome all around, very friendly and easy to talk with. Worked with PJ to get a new club and his expertise and communication in my selection was the best I've had. I got new club as well as a handful of clubs re-gripped and will be back with any other golf related purchases.”
“Awesome place! We came in close to closing time, and Faith & Shantell were so sweet and helpful. They were wonderful and the selection was fantastic. We'll be back for sure!”
“Lululemon is a great stop if you’re looking for premium athletic and lifestyle apparel with both performance and style. Located in a popular shopping area near the beaches, this store brings Lululemon’s signature gear — from buttery soft leggings and yoga pants to technical tops, hoodies, jackets, and accessories — right into the heart of the Emerald Coast.
Shoppers often highlight the quality of the clothing: the fabrics are comfortable, durable, and designed to move with you whether you’re hitting a workout, walking along the shore, or grabbing coffee with friends. Thoughtful details like moisture‑wicking materials, hidden pockets, and flattering cuts show why the brand commands a loyal following.”
“The staff was great. There was a guy named Tyson who helped me pick out what I needed and he showed me everything I had a question about. Their displays are neat and well spaced and every price was large enough to see from a distance. I enjoy going to the store at Mary Esther Cutoff.”
“I was helped by Ashlee today & she was great! She helped pick out a hat and shorts when we were indecisive. She listened to exactly what we were looking for.”
“We were not happy with a service that we paid for here at DSG in Destin and the manger, Robbie, went above and beyond to make it right for us. We are so thankful for how well he took care of us and made things right for our 11-year-old son. I would definitely recommend shopping at the store here in Destin!”
“Alvin's Island has a nice selection of stuff for men, women, and children. We found some great Destins hoodies for $40. And sime T shirts. They also have key chains, beach toys, and many types of Souvenirs. Very cluttered inside with hallways so narrow your constantly knocking stuff shalves and hangers. Not very organized at all.”
“My recent visit to JD Sports in Destin on 8/3/25 was chaotic. Customers were yelling at overwhelmed associates who were doing their best, and management was nowhere to be found. We almost walked out until until one of the associates, Gavin stepped in. He immediately helped me and my family, listened to our needs, and offered clear, helpful options. For someone so young, his professionalism and calm under pressure really stood out. He absolutely deserves recognition.”
“Absolutely loved that store when I visited destin back in 2021. Friendly staff, and very helpful. They had just about everything that I was looking for. I'll definitely be back when I come back to visit for vacation.”

“I love my new rough rider 3 bladed pocket knife. Sparkle. I had to get something no it would steal ? but it cuts well and seems very sharp. Great delivery speeds too. Get in touch with them and get your next knife or piece of equipment needed for your next solution!”
“They definitely have to change the name because I don’t know what’s $5 here lol. However, we come here all of the time, they t shirts that are on clearance buy 4 get 2 free. The shirt on clearance can go from what I’ve seen … anywhere between 9.99 to 16.99.l each. They do have a great jewelry section ! Beach toys, plenty of bathing suits , boogie boards , you name it ! Very clean and organized . Although it’s not as spacious as its competitors, I do like not feeling suffocated with merchandise within an inch of every part of my body ! I did learn they have hermit crabsss for sale unfortunately I did not see the signs about touching them until after I peeked at a few lol .”
“These folks have been awesome to work with!! They saved us for our most recent tournament and we plan to continue using them! Work was great, customer service was even better, and you beat that they're local.”
