Beach Club DVC

Beach Club Villas puts you on the waterfront of Crescent Lake with EPCOT's International Gateway just a short stroll away. Walk out the back of the resort, follow the path along the water, and you are in World Showcase in minutes — no bus, no monorail, no schedule to plan around. For owners who love EPCOT, or who simply like a vacation that starts the moment they step outside, this is one of the most convenient locations in Walt Disney World.

Opened in 2002 alongside its sister, the Yacht Club, Beach Club carries a relaxed New England seaside look: soft blues and whites, shingled rooflines, and the kind of porch-and-boardwalk charm that feels more like a Cape Cod getaway than a theme park hotel. Villas range from studios to three-bedroom Grand Villas with full kitchens in the larger layouts, many with views of the lake, the gardens, or the pool courtyard.

The real showstopper is Stormalong Bay, the three-acre pool complex shared with the Yacht Club. It has a sand-bottom pool, a winding lazy river, and a shipwreck-themed slide, and it is widely considered one of the best resort pools in all of Walt Disney World. Add Beaches & Cream Soda Shop for dessert, Crescent Lake boat rides to Hollywood Studios, and the BoardWalk's restaurants and evening entertainment next door, and you can fill a week without ever leaving the neighborhood.

For buyers, the important numbers are the ones attached to the contract. The deed runs through 2042, and 2026 annual dues are $9.81 per point. A shorter remaining term generally means a lower price per point than comparable resorts with deeds that run longer, which is part of why Beach Club is a popular choice for owners who want a premium location without a premium price. The tradeoff is worth weighing — the fewer years left on a contract, the more it makes sense to run the numbers on how long you plan to own it. For buyers who want to be at EPCOT and Stormalong Bay for the next decade or more, it's one of the most appealing home resorts in the system.
