Disney's Beach Club Villas

Disney's Beach Club Villas opened on July 1, 2002 and is the fourth Disney Vacation Club Resort operating at Walt Disney World. It sits on 6 acres of land and consists of 282 units. Adjacent to Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, this community of Studios and Villas shares the beachside delights of 25-acre Crescent Lake and the high-spirited fun of Stormalong Bay. The Bay—a 3-acre water wonderland—features waterfalls, a lazy circular river, a waterslide and an elevated tanning deck to let you soak up the sun's golden rays. Crescent Lake is the site of lively family activity—its surface dotted with rented watercraft and catch-and-release fishers.

On the white-sand shores of the lake you can stretch out and relax, or you can soak in 3 quiet crystal pools and 7 spas. Guests who want to keep up their fitness routine can take advantage of state-of-the-art exercise equipment at the Ship Shape Health Club, open 24 hours a day and offering saunas, steam rooms and massage therapy. And when you're ready to dine, treat yourself to succulent steaks, seafood, chicken and lamb dishes prepared in the open kitchen of Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Your day ends in bliss as you return to the Villas. The nautical allure of the Eastern Seaboard comes alive with architecture that features intricate wooden accents and a soft pastel color palette. Retreat to one of our stately Studios with kitchenettes or one of our spacious Villas complete with a kitchen, living area and a host of home-style amenities. Enjoy charming views from your windows and private porch or balcony.
