Former Dave & Busters CEO Puts Gargantuan $10 Million Florida Home on the Market (and There’s Not an Arcade Game in Sight!)

The former CEO of arcade-and-restaurant chain Dave & Busters just listed his incredible six-bedroom, waterfront property in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, for just a hair under $10 million.

Brian Jenkins and wife Deborah purchased the seaside perch in 2018 for $4 million. Six years later, they’re looking to more than double their investment, listing the place for $9,995,000.

It boasts nearly a half-acre of private beach and sits on a stretch of land that’s been dubbed the Emerald Coast (although most folks know it simply as the Florida panhandle).

Marketing aside, this opportunity offers more than just an elegant beach house. Per the listing, “the home is nestled between protected wetlands and serene, dog-friendly sands, providing both privacy and an intimate connection with nature.”

Beyond the lower-level foyer, the living spaces are on the second floor, where a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling picture windows frame panoramic water views. A nearby bedroom is ideal for overnight guests or as a home office.

The kitchen offers lots of counter space and stainless appliances, plus access to an outdoor lanai with a heated plunge pool that overlooks the Gulf.

The main bedroom is on the next level and comes with a swoon-worthy bathroom and deep soaking tub. There are more bedrooms on the top floor as well as a fire pit and generous lounge space on one of three decks. Upgrades include new windows and new Trex decking.

The home was also recently renovated with marine-grade finishes and other sturdy materials designed to shore up the dwelling against the wind, water, and weather.

Still, coastal living means dealing with erosion, as the current owners well know. They’ve had to regularly replace the natural sand in front of the home in a spot they call “Brian’s Beach.”

In stark contrast to the garish design of most Dave & Buster’s venues—which are traditionally filled with neon lights, flashing TV screens, screaming arcade games, and raucous crowds—the home shines with a chic and simple aesthetic.

Clean, white walls meet elegant, blue accents that complement the ocean waters below.

Speaking of the ocean, the home’s vast water views are possibly its biggest perk. Listing photos offer a glimpse of the vista that can be enjoyed from one of several deck areas—a jaw-dropping sunset over an expanse of beach.

And with nearly 15 other listings on the market in Santa Rosa Beach priced over $10 million, even without the views, this renovated residence might even be considered a bargain.
