Welcome to Ellis Retreat!

Step into a coastal getaway where the pace slows, laughter echoes, and the Florida sun sets the scene for unforgettable memories. Take a dip in the heated* pool with its sparkling fiber optic lights, or let the gentle waterfall spa melt your cares away. Out back, there’s plenty of room to kick back, enjoy meals under the sky, and make memories the whole family will treasure.

Just a short stroll from the beach, and with a complimentary golf cart for getting around, Ellis Retreat puts you close to Pompano Joe’s, beachside dining, shopping, and local attractions like Destin Commons and Baytowne Wharf. Perfect for family gatherings, milestone celebrations, or a quiet coastal escape, this spacious retreat blends cozy comfort with classic seaside charm.

*Check-In – 4:00 PM (Central)
*Check Out – 10:00 AM (Central)
Check-in and Check-out times are strictly enforced since our maintenance crew and cleaners will occupy the parking spots from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There is a minimum fee of $200 for leaving after the posted time because this prohibits the staff from completing the job and will interrupt the next guest’s vacation.

Some small dogs are permitted, so please inquire about our pet policy and fees. Any small dog must be approved in advance with written consent.

Weddings/Events – If held on property, an additional $500.00 event fee is required.

*The spa/pool can be heated from October 1 to May 31 for an additional daily fee. The pool and spa water both run from the same pump and heater, so pool heat must be selected and paid for before arrival. The spa jets are programmed to run from 5 PM to 10 PM. During peak summer months of June to September, the spa will automatically run from 7-10 PM. Due to the high heat, it cannot run for any longer than the allotted time.

AGE REQUIREMENT – Spring Break college groups are not allowed. No reservations will be made for students or singles under twenty-five (25). One (1) guardian of twenty-five years or older is required for every four (4) singles under twenty-five. Guardians must accompany anyone under the age of twenty-five (25) at all times and be present during check-in. Underage drinking and/or partying are not allowed in any of the rental units. Non-compliance with these rules and regulations will result in immediate eviction with no return of any and all payments made.
