It’s that time of year when many of us start plotting our escape from everyday routine. For many, that means finding a destination where every day feels fulfilling and every night ends with something to look forward to. At The Ellie Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that’s exactly what’s waiting for you, whether it’s a family vacation, a couples trip, or a weekend with friends. Part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, The Ellie offers a modern, boutique-inspired resort stay while honoring the property’s unique history. Its oceanfront location on Springmaid Beach is far enough from the tourist-heavy areas to feel relaxing, yet close enough to easily access Myrtle Beach’s boardwalk, restaurants, and iconic attractions. In fact, Myrtle Beach was named the top domestic summer destination and the top destination for Fourth of July weekend travel this year in Tripadvisor's Summer Travel Index. Modern Coastal Luxury Rooted in Local History The Ellie pays tribute to the property’s original founder, Elliott White Springs, a South Carolina native and World War I flying ace who later built one of the nation’s most successful textile companies. Springs believed in caring for his employees and community. In addition to creating parks and golf courses, he developed Springmaid Beach as a place where workers and their families could relax along the ocean. That sense of community and hospitality remains at the heart of The Ellie Beach Resort to this day. Newly renovated, The Ellie is a modern beachfront resort designed to keep you entertained from morning to night. With five pools, three water slides, a lazy river, a splash pad for kids, cabana rentals, the Springmaid Pier, a fitness center, and large event spaces with ocean views, there is something for every moment. The 30-acre Springmaid Beach property offers numerous places to hang out and relax, including a cozy fire pit area, ocean-view terraces with live music, and Barnacles, a covered entertainment space with pool tables, ping pong, horseshoes, and cornhole. Special events add to the fun throughout your stay, including kids’ foam parties, live DJs, steel drum performances, Polynesian hula fire and luau nights, and adults-only pool parties. Enjoy daily activities like volleyball, soccer, board games, crafts, beach bingo, and lawn games. Enhance your stay with complimentary activities such as yoga on the lawn or beach with Sea Yoga, or 18 holes of miniature golf at Harbor Oaks Golf Club just across the street. Enjoy even more included experiences on Myrtle Beach’s iconic Springmaid Pier, including surf lessons with experienced locals from Jack’s Surf Lessons and fishing clinics for anglers of all skill levels. While you're there, stop by Fishtales on the Pier for souvenirs, beach gear, fishing supplies, and a scoop of ice cream. With so much to do right on the property, you can easily spend your entire vacation at the resort without ever needing to leave. From the moment you check in, The Ellie's hotel staff is eager to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You'll even receive a curated list of recommended restaurants, local attractions, and exclusive discounts to community partners. For example, guests can try a custom beer created by community partner Tidal Creek Brewhouse, available exclusively at The Ellie. You can also ask the front desk for a beer card offering $2 off pours at the brewery, where you can relax in the spacious outdoor beer garden, often featuring live music. Every Stay Comes With an Ocean View Guests will love that every room and suite at The Ellie features a private balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, where sunrises beautifully paint the sky with soft shades of orange and yellow. Rooms and suites feature modern coastal-inspired decor with soft beach tones. Amenities include a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Coffee and tea are available in-room, along with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. In-room dining services and pet-friendly rooms are also available. Dedicated to accessible travel, The Ellie also offers multiple types of ADA-accessible guest rooms and accommodations throughout the property for a seamless stay. Dining Options for Every Part of the Day The Ellie has two on-site restaurants, a market, a pool bar, and its newest addition, Ellie’s Snack Shack, offering a range of convenient dining options. Head to The Market for grab-and-go sandwiches for the beach, ice cream, pizza, salads, and other quick, easy snacks. Soon, you'll also be able to enjoy your favorite Starbucks coffee. For cocktails, refreshing beverages, and poolside bites, you can visit either Ellie’s Snack Shack at the main pool or the Pool Bar located by the adults-only pool. Ocean Blue Restaurant & Lounge is the resort’s main dining experience for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour with both indoor and outdoor oceanfront seating overlooking the Atlantic. For breakfast, opt for the all-you-can-eat buffet or à la carte favorites like a stack of fluffy pancakes or a specialty omelet. At lunch, enjoy casual classics like chicken wings, shrimp tacos, watermelon caprese salad, flatbreads, and pizzas, while dinner features entrees like crab cakes, bistro steak, or farfalle alfredo. The Ocean Blue Lounge in the lobby has a full-service bar with daily happy hour and a late-night happy hour from 11 p.m. to midnight. On Friday and Saturday evenings, step onto the terrace and enjoy live entertainment with gorgeous views of the ocean. Southern Tide Bar and Grill, directly on the Springmaid Pier, is an enclosed restaurant with large windows facing the ocean. It’s the perfect spot to cool off from the sun while enjoying options like coconut shrimp, calamari, a burger, or fish tacos. The Ellie, Where Summer Memories Are Made The Ellie Beach Resort is a Myrtle Beach vacation that’s hard to beat. With instant access to the quieter shores of Springmaid Beach, a dedicated fishing pier, on-site dining, complimentary activities, live entertainment, and special events, a stay at The Ellie is exactly what a summer vacation should be: a place to make memories with the people who matter most.
