The Retreat

The Retreat is a secluded, gated sanctuary where emerald Gulf waters meet a rare coastal dune lake and 3,000 feet of private, sugar-white sand. Luxury homes blend Bermudian, Caribbean, and classic Southern architecture, all centered around an exclusive gulf-front beach club.

Welcome to The Retreat

The most prestigious gated beach community in South Walton, The Retreat is everything its name implies – a destination that offers privacy and upscale living all while providing some of the best views, architecture and quality construction in all of Florida. 3,000 feet of private beach on the Gulf of Mexico. A rare coastal dune lake. Privileged access to a Gulf-front, resort-style beach club. Masterfully crafted luxury residences.

Nestled among native forests, The Retreat is an exclusive gated community, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and luxury along Florida's scenic 30A in Blue Mountain Beach. This idyllic haven boasts 3,000 feet of private beach along the Gulf of Mexico, featuring sugar-white sands comparable to those of the Bahamas or Bermuda. The pristine emerald waters of a rare coastal dune lake and the Gulf itself frame this picturesque setting. Residents enjoy privileged access to a Gulf-front, resort-style beach club and reside in masterfully crafted luxury residences.

Careful thought and planning went into the design of The Retreat. Homes must adhere to architectural guidelines and blend in with the style and color of the West Indies, which cast a striking contrast to the white sandy beaches and clear, blue waters. With 90 acres allocated for 90 homes, many situated on high bluffs, residences are more secluded while offering plenty of living and outdoor space. Buyers looking for homesites can choose from a select list of proven architects and builders, who ensure a beautifully designed, well-crafted property. The Retreat was St. Joe's first development in South Walton County.

The Retreat Amenities

The amenities at The Retreat are unsurpassed. The Grecian-style Beach Club is open to all residents and their visitors with no extra membership fees. Swimming, beach access, water features and shaded sitting areas are all here as well. With 3,000 feet of private beach front, 2,000 feet are reserved and divided for 24 homes that reside on this stretch of land, providing unsurpassed views. Draper Lake is The Retreat’s western boundary. One of 11 rare coastal dune lakes that are only found in Northwest Florida, 22 lake front homes, including seven with their own private dock, mean fishing, kayaking and canoeing are easily accessible. To the north is a nature preserve, to the east is the low-density condominium and to the south is the Gulf of Mexico.

The Retreat Location

Conveniently located halfway between Destin and Panama City and in Blue Mountain Beach, The Retreat features a highly desirable lifestyle wrapped in a one-of-a-kind yet private setting. Homes for sale in The Retreat are highly sought after for their luxurious designs, proximity to pristine beaches, and access to top-notch amenities. Visitors and homeowners alike have easy access to their favorite beach destination through the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport or the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City Beach, each just under one hour away.
