Bay Breeze Patio Celebrates 20 Years Helping Clients Create Their Outdoor Dreams

We’re celebrating 20 years in business. We purchased Bay Breeze Patio retail store in Miramar Beach on February 1, 2005. Now two decades later, Bay Breeze Patio has been consistently voted best outdoor furniture retailer, and is recognized as one of the top 100 retailers in the country in the casual furniture industry.

We are humbled by the outpouring of support from our customers and the community. It is due to this support that we’re celebrating 20 years of awesomeness. We didn’t really have a clue what we were taking on, how long we could expect to survive, how successful, if at all, we could be. In hindsight, it was probably a good thing that we were clueless.

While we had no direct retail background, we had a combined 50 years of sales, marketing, manufacturing, sourcing and management experience between us.

We would love to say all of those experiences were critical, and they were certainly useful and important. But in the end, it came down to we purchased a business and we immediately fell in love with the outdoor casual furnishing industry.

Starting with only one manufacturer and three outdoor wicker furniture collections, today we carry 16 in-stock wicker furniture collections from the original manufacturer, as well as 19 other premium outdoor furniture brands—all within the original showroom. Embracing all things outdoor living, we expanded our offering to include premium grills and outdoor kitchens as well as weather-resistant fabrics, cushions, umbrellas, pillows, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits, art, rugs, and accessories.

While we’ve enjoyed this industry and appreciate achieving success and growth over the years, we have also had to overcome our share of challenges. We overcame the 2008 housing crisis, the 2010 oil spill and the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.  After the 2008 recession, we started celebrating our customers and community with a Customer Appreciation Event and their largest sales event of the year.

When we talk about 20 years of awesomeness, we are talking about our team, our customers,  our vendors, our furniture lines, our sales reps, and of course, our community. Life does not get any better than loving what you do and where you do it.

Our Anniversary Event will be held the weekend of March 21-22 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., bringing in factory experts to further help you build their outdoor dreams. The anniversary event will take place rain or shine at Bay Breeze Patio located at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach, one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets. For more information call us at 850.269.4666.

Bites ranging from desserts to shrimp, ribs, venison, pork belly, brisket, sausage, and chicken were presented to tasters and judges to earn cook teams a spot in the winners’ circle. This year, eight winning teams took home cash, prizes and bragging rights from the commemorative competition.

This year, both received a $22,000 donation to support their mission. In addition, non-profit teams competed for Taster’s Choice Awards and were awarded cash prizes totaling $8,000.

 

With the addition of the Tony Chachere’s category and the continuation of the best Angels Envy bite category, we had more categories for cook teams to compete in than ever before!

 

In First Place, Food for Thought earned top spot and an additional $3,500 donation for their bite “The 5 Swine.” Partnering with John O’Neil (aka Dude Food Fire), the Food For Thought Team served a smoked, braised and roasted belly of swine paired with 4 cheese Tony C’s macaroni and cheese, along with Chef Kara’s Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie topped with Salted Caramel Bourbon sauce, 7-year balsamic drizzle and a maple peppercorn finish.

Taster’s top picks earned the top three cook teams a Big Green Egg.

In second place, Captain’s Choice returned and served their smoked brisket bite to win a medium size Big Green Egg. Saltwater Restaurants earned the third most votes for their smoked shrimp and tomato basil soup with grill cheese paired with bourbon smoked pineapple smash and were awarded a Mini-Max Big Green Egg.

The cook teams also presented their inspiring creations to five honorary judges who ranked bites on taste, appearance and creativity.

In second place, team “It’s a Write Off” shined with their shrimp with Angels Envy infused sauce. In third place, Food for Thought’s Chef Kara’s Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie topped with Salted Caramel Bourbon sauce, 7-year balsamic drizzle and a maple peppercorn finish.

 

Last but certainly not least, teams had the opportunity to infuse Tony Chachere seasonings and compete for best “Tony C” bite.

In third place, Food for Thought lad by John O’Neil of Dude Food Fire won for their Tony Chachere’s seasoned, smoked, braised and roasted belly of swine paired with 4 cheese Tony C’s macaroni and cheese.

Eggs on the Beach’s non-profit partners provide important volunteer support during the event, and split the proceeds. The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast’s donation will help the organization fund its mission to provide a home away from home for military families during medical treatment. Food for Thought’s donation will support their mission of fighting childhood hunger and food insecurity among students in Walton and Okaloosa Counties. Since its inception in 2013, Eggs on the Beach has donated more than $347,000 to local nonprofits.

Due the unwavering support from our cook teams, sponsors, volunteers, staff and tasters, the 10th annual event was our best yet. It’s such an honor to write checks to these deserving non-profits, serving the needs of our community.

2024 Pantone Color of the Year – Peach Fuzz Infuses an Air of Calm for Backyard Living

Looking for a fresh look for 2024? Explore infusing the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year—Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. This heartfelt peach hue brings a feeling of kindness and tenderness to a room. This light inviting color communicates a message of care.

The appealing peach hue softly nestled between pink and orange, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz inspires belonging, recalibration, and an opportunity for nurturing, conjuring up an air of calm. When used for furnishings and décor, the tone is light, open and airy.

While centered in the human experience of enriching and nurturing the mind, body, and soul, the hue is also a quietly sophisticated and contemporary and its gentle lightness is understated but impactful, bringing beauty to any space.

Laurie Pressman from the Pantone Institute shared “PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz awakens our senses to the comforting presence of tactility and cocooned warmth. Sensitive but sweet and airy, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz evokes a new modernity.”

Why was this color selected? Recalibrating our priorities to align with our internal values, individuals are focusing on health and wellbeing, both mental and physical, and cherishing what’s special — the warmth and comfort of spending time with friends and family, or simply taking a moment of time to ourselves. 

Visually arresting and inviting, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a nurturing peach tone that inspires us to instinctively want to reach out and touch. Conveying a message of tactility that comes through in sueded, velvety, quilted, and furry textures, luxuriously soothing and soft to the touch, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is an enveloping peach hue that awakens our senses.

Promoting feelings of gentle warmth whether appearing on a painted wall, in home furnishings, or acting as an accent within a pattern, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz infuses personalized worlds with a comforting presence. 

We’re excited to share design inspiration from some of our favorite outdoor furniture brands. Stop by our showrooms at 32 Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach or call us 850-269-4666 to discover how Peach Fuzz can refresh your backyard vibe.

Official Retailer of Lloyd Flanders Outdoor Furniture in Destin, Florida

As the official retailer for Lloyd Flanders luxury outdoor furniture in the Destin, Florida area, our team is here to guide you the breadth of options, ranging from dining sets and swings to sectionals and lounge chairs. 

Lloyd Loom® Outdoor Furniture

Lloyd Loom® furniture is made in the same facility where this special process was first developed in 1917. Marshall Burns Lloyd created a process by which cellulose strands are woven into a wicker fabric as an alternative to the then popular method of wrapping cane around a frame. Each hand-crafted piece of Lloyd Loom furniture made today uses the same process to create the loom fabric. This special process ensures the loom will not burr, crack, or peel, resulting in a consistently smooth weave. Explore the 15 Lloyd Loom Collections online ( All Seasons, Catalina, Elements, Essence, Frontier, Hamptons, Mandalay, Nantucket, Reflections, Solstice, Southport, Summit, Universal Loom, Visions and Weekend Retreat) 

Vinyl. 

Lloyd Flanders offers a unique selection of vinyl all-weather wicker furnishings. From the classic romance of Mackinac, inspired by its island namesake, to the modern elegance of Contempo, our vinyl collections represent the best of traditional, transitional and contemporary decor. Lloyd Flanders vinyl furniture is made with 100% virgin vinyl and has no added “fillers.” This ensures that the vinyl remains soft and pliable through many years of use and will hold its shape. UV inhibitors are added to protect from sun damage and prevent excessive fading. Lloyd Flanders offers 11 vinyl collections (Contempo, Grand Traverse, Haven, Largo, Low Country, Mackinac, Magnolia, Mesa, Milan, Teak and Tabago)

Teak. 

Lloyd Flanders offers teak tables that complement our Lloyd Loom and vinyl collections. Premium teak wood is a popular choice for outdoor furniture due to its high oil
content, inherent strength and tight grain. Teak is naturally resistant to decay and doesn’t get brittle with age, adding to its capacity to withstand
climate and environmental changes. Lloyd Flanders uses only sustainably-grown and -harvested FSC-certified Brazilian teak wood in for their outdoor teak furniture.

Cushioning Premium Outdoor Cushion System.

Lloyd Flanders® cushions feature exceptional comfort and resilience, inherently mildew/bacteria resistant components, and incorporate 1.5 density High Resilience California Fire Rated Foam. Lloyd Flanders® cushions use Bio Comfort® Foam Core cushioning, made with soy-based products. This reduces dependence on petroleum-based products, for an environmentally friendly foam cushion. The Bio Comfort® Foam Core is wrapped with 100% polyester fiber. Bonded to this foam and fiber wrapped core is a 100% polypropylene SMS jacket completely encompassing the cushion. The jacket is composed of two layers of spun bond fabric around an inner layer of meltblown fabric to shed water. View Lloyd Flanders fabric options online.

outdoor accessories to complement your outdoor furniture. Call us or stop by our showroom in Miramar Beach to review options and get a quote. We’re proud to

The Best Pizza Ovens for Florida Living & Your Backyard

One of the joys of having your own
personal backyard pizza oven is the ease of making meals authentic and fast. At
Bay Breeze Patio, we carry HPC Fire Inspired as well as Alpha Ovens. These
ovens cook fast at high temperatures, and produce one-of-kind results.  

Here’s a look at the benefits and offerings of HPC Fire Inspired pizza ovens and Alfa Pizza Ovens.

HPC Fire Inspired

One of the joys of HPC Fire Inspired pizza oven is that it reaches 950˚F in just 15 minutes for genuine Neapolitan style pizza cooked in 90 seconds. A trusted fire provider since 1975, HPC Fire Inspired has been at the forefront of fire feature products for decades and features several different series. The Forno Series Pizza Oven is a dual fuel oven that can be wheeled around easily. Forno de Pizza’s classic design complements its black cart and intricate handcrafted glass mosaic oven. Every oven is uniquely handcrafted and is powered by HPC’s electronic ignition system. The gas valve system is the safest and most reliable on the market. With a choice of six glass mosaic colors, its elegant finish is as personal as your backyard. The Villa Series is the hearth and oven built-in. Available in LP as well as natural gas, The Villa oven is the lightest authentic brick-dual-fuel oven on the market. Created to be built-in to a 35” deep counter or more, The Villa is coined the safest operable wood and gas fueled oven and is ideal for outdoor kitchens.

 

We teamed with John at Dude. Food. Fire. and put the HPC Fire Inspired Oven to the test at a charity wine festival. See the delicious results here. Stop by our showroom to test HPC Fire, a trusted brand that lights every time. 

ALFA Wood Fire Grills 

One of the most popular backyard pizza ovens on the market today is Alfa Ovens due to their heat genius innovative technology that allows you to cook the pizza base and condiments at different temperatures. Three technologies make this possible: 

HeatKeeper™ Refractory Brick – The Heat Keeper™ brick, produced at the Alfa plant in Italy, absorbs and stores heat. The Heat Keeper™ refractory brick is crucial for quickly cooking a pizza, making it soft and crispy at the right point without burning it.

DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool® Insulation – The space between the stainless steel walls of an Alfa home oven is filled with DoubleDown Ceramic Superwool® insulation. This European ceramic fibre offers twice the heat resistance of rock wool used by other pizza oven manufacturers. It also retains heat better and allows pizzas to cook to perfection.

Patented Full Effect Full Circulation Flue System® – This particular system optimizes the circulation of hot air inside Alfa ovens. Rather than being evacuated quickly through the flue, as takes place in other pizza ovens, the hot air circulates in the cooking chamber and is pushed down to further heat the refractory brick and pizza.  In Alfa ovens, the heat is pushed in an “around and down” and then conveyed by a special deflector to the flue to be expelled. In doing so, the oven always maintains the right temperature so as to optimally cook both the base and the condiments of your pizza.

Alfa has introduced its most portable and most affordable oven yet—the new gas-fired Moderno Portable. With its Italian design and innovative temperature technology, Portable is Alfa’s most compact pizza oven and is perfect for cooking one pizza at a time. Available in portable, compact, medium or large, Alfa Pizza Ovens can cook up to 5 pizzas at one time.

We are the official local retailer for HPC Fire Inspired and Alfa Ovens, and we invite you stop by our showroom at 32 Forest Shore Drive (one mile west of Silver Sands) and test for yourself the joys of a backyard, personal pizza oven.  Online purchases coming soon. For more information or discuss the joys grilling, call Wayne Paul at 850-269-4666.

9th Annual Eggs On the Beach Cooking Competition Raises $44,500 for Local Non-Profits, including Food for Thought & Fisher House of the Emerald Coast

The 9th Annual Big Green Egg cooking competition, Eggs on the Beach, raised $44,500 for local non-profits. The event, which was held Oct. 14 at Seascape Towne Center, featured a diverse array of deliciously creative bites, including alligator, venison and lamb creations. Presented by Bay Breeze Patio, Eggs on the Beach hosted 22 cook teams competing for cash, prizes and trophies. Proceeds from the event were then divided between the winning non-profit cook teams and the two benefiting charities, Food for Thought and Fisher House of the Emerald Coast. This year, both received an $18,500 donation to support their mission.

 

The non-profit cook teams were awarded a cash donation toward their cause. This year’s nonprofit winners with most taster votes were first place: Healing Paws for Warriors partnered with Swiftly Catered presenting a Trinidad Spice Pork Tenderloin, Bourbon Caramel Balsamic Apple with a Grilled Pear Cobbler with Sweet Potato Pone Cake with Candied Pecans & Bourbon Cane Syrup, which earned the nonprofit $3,500; In second place: South Walton Academy The Eggstras presented Bacon Wrapped Venison with Banana Pepper, which earned a $2,500 donation; and securing third place: The Brotherhood of Distinguished Gentleman: Walton County Juvenile Justice presented Smoked Brisket on Biscuit with Pickled Onion, which allowed them to achieve $1,500 for their nonprofit. These nonprofits earned bragging rights and a cash donation toward their causes.

 

The diverse bites cooked on the Big Green Egg ranged from fresh seafood and smoked meats to cajun delicacies and desserts. The first-place winner was ‘Keggs Over Easy, earning the most taster votes and a Large Big Green Egg for their Texas Twinkies jalapeno bites and Angels Envy Texas Tea! Two teams tied for second place: Saltwater Restaurants who presented Smoked Gulf Shrimp and Pineapple with Angels Envy Teriyaki Glaze and Bourbon Smoked Pineapple Smash, while Team Indyne & RT&T Technology, who presented Cajun Gulf Shrimp and Sausage with Angels Envy Remoulade and Angels Envy dessert paired with Angels Envy Stone Fence Cocktail both earned a second place a medium Big Green Egg. In third place, Captain’s Choice presented Smoked Brisket, and was awarded a Mini-Max Big Green Egg.

 

The cook teams also presented their inspiring creations to five honorary judges who ranked bites on taste, appearance and creativity. First place Judge’s Trophy was awarded to Kegs Over Easy for their Texas Twinkies; Second place Judge’s Trophy was presented to Brotherhood of Distinguished Gentleman: Walton County Juvenile Justice for their smoked brisket, and third place Judge’s Trophy was awarded to Nice Racks for their BBQ Sandwich Shot. The judge’s also presented an honorable mention to Brock cooking for the Fisher House for their Bourbon Honey Glazed Smoked Sausage Gravy & Biscuits. Honorary judges included Chef Jude Tauzin, corporate chef for Tony Chachere’s (Acadia, LA); Chef Dan Dederous, corporate chef for Hilton Sandestin; Nikki Nickerson, founder of Cowgirl Hospitality Group; Carrie Honaker, Florida Food & Travel Writer; and Chef Chad Donelson of Bitterroot.

 

Teams had the opportunity to infuse Angels Envy Bourbon into their recipe and compete for the Best Angels Envy Bite. Earning first place and a barrel head and bottle of Angels Envy Bourbon was the Sea Market for their dessert bite. Food For Thought team earned second place and Florida Q was awarded third place for their Angel Envy bite. Shaun Cooper and Nick Hogan presented the awards as well as served samples of Angels Envy Bourbon neat and infused in craft cocktails.

 

Eggs on the Beach benefits The Fisher House of the Emerald Coast, which provides a home away from home for military families during medical treatment, and Food for Thought, which aims to fight childhood hunger and food insecurity among students in Walton and Okaloosa Counties. Since its inception in 2013, Eggs on the Beach has donated more than $295,000 to local nonprofits.

But serious bragging rights are achieved with the coveted Judge’s Awards, in which cook teams compete for recognition by a distinguished panel of honorary judges.

The 2023 panel of culinary experts ranges from Tony Chachere’s Corporate Chef to a Michelin restaurant-trained chef to a local restauranteur and a contributing food writer. With their diverse backgrounds and expertise, each judge will evaluate bites based on taste, creativity and presentation.

This year’s honorary judges include: Chef Jude Tauzin, corporate chef for Tony Chachere’s from Lafayette, LA; Chef Dan Tederous, corporate chef for Hilton Sandestin; Nikki Nickerson, founder of Cowgirl Hospitality Group; Carrie Honaker, Florida Food & Travel Writer for Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, and Wine Enthusiast, among others; and Michelin restaurant-trained Chef Chad Donelson, executive chef of Bitterroot.

Over the years, he’s worked at acclaimed restaurants throughout Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas. In 2012, Chef Tauzin returned to Tony Chachere’s Creole Foods as Corporate Chef. Tauzin is active in the Acadiana Chapter of the American Culinary Federation and supports numerous charitable events throughout the year.

She’s strong, she’s driven, and she embraces her grit that made the Cowgirl dream a reality. In 2019, Nikki was selected as a James Beard Fellow. She believes in gathering, breaking bread, sharing wine, and spending time with people.

 

Carrie Honaker, Food & Travel Writer

Carrie Honaker is a Florida-based food and travel writer who is not sure where she will land next, but it will involve messy eating, a spicy Tempranillo, and finding the local farmers market. She has hauled oyster cages off the Forgotten Coast of Florida, harvested indigenous crops with the Abenaki Tribe in Vermont, learned to make beef patties from a Jamaican auntie, made Guavaberry Liqueur with a 7th generation distiller on St. Maarten, and stomped cacao pods in Grenada. She writes about food, drink, travel, and culture for Bon Appetit, Conde Nast Traveler, Wine Enthusiast, Southern Living, Travel + Leisure, Food & Wine, and many more. 

 

Chef Chadwick Donelson, Executive Chef of Bitterroot
An exceptional meal is a combination of a thousand different decisions. Much in the same way a great chef is a blend of all the experiences he’s had along on the way. Chef Chadwick puts the very essence of every award-winning restaurant he’s been a part of into everything he creates. Bitterroot’s menu is a direct reflection of his story. His humble beginnings helping out around his local bingo parlor led to him serving on the opening team for Jim Shirley’s The Bay restaurant. From there he relocated to the DC area to work at a collection of 1-Star Michelin Restaurants that grew to achieve 2-, 3- and 4-star Michelin ratings. Today Chef Chadwick enjoys creative liberties at Bitterroot serving up the freshest foods in new and unexpected ways.

These culinary experts will mix and mingle with the crowd tasting each team’s creative bite and judging it based on taste, creativity and presentation to award this year’s Judge’s Trophy winners.

Also offering HDPE polymer furniture, Seaside Casual furniture is made from Envirowood, an all-weather marine grade recycled HDPE polymer – the kind found in milk jugs. The furniture is essentially maintenance-free. HDPE material is non-porous and resistant to moisture and fading. It’s built to repel insects, splinting, warping and other hazards of environmental exposure common to wood and wood fiber composite products.

Wicker

Outdoor wicker furniture, aka Resin Wicker patio furniture, can be modern, classic, or traditional. Made from long-lasting synthetic materials, outdoor wicker furniture is popular porches, decks, patios, by pools and in garden areas/sunrooms.

2023 Pantone Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, provides vibrant touch to outdoor spaces

In seeking inspiration for creating dream outdoor spaces, we often look to Pantone’s Color of the Year. The 2023 Color of the Year, Viva Magenta, is bold and vibrant.

The crimson hue is inspired by the red of cochineal, one of the strongest and brightest dyes in the world.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, shared that her vision for the assertive shade “Is that it will encourage you to be braver with your home’s design choices.”

Viva Magenta has the potential to bring bright pops of color to flat monotone spaces through throw pillows, umbrellas, and outdoor art. For a bold approach, select vibrant magenta colored cushions and brighten the entire room.

Our team is ready to support designers and homeowners achieve their dream outdoor living space. Visit our showroom in Miramar Beach across from Seascape Resort and one mile west of Silver Sands Premium Outlets at 32 Forest Shore Drive, Miramar Beach, FL.
