Disney’s Beach Club Villas
Beach Club opened in July 2002 and is the closest Epcot accommodation via the International Gateway. The resort is themed after an Eastern Seaboard Resort. The villas are located next to Crescent Lake, right across from the Boardwalk. Guests can take a short walk and be at World Showcase, entering between the United Kingdom and Italy. The resort's location makes it one of the most desirable places during the Food and Wine Festival in the Fall. Guests will find limited availability during this time unless you have home resort booking priority. The DVC Villas are located in a separate building on the grounds of the existing Beach Club hotel.
Room Descriptions
Studios
Studios are One-room units that accommodate up to five people. There are 110 of these units at Beach Club. The sleeping area has a single queen bed and a double-size pull-down Murphy bed/couch. There is also a table that folds down to a small 29" x 67" pull-down bed. The kitchenette has a microwave, sink, and small refrigerator. The bathroom has a single sink and a combination tub and shower. Studio rooms are 356 square feet.
One-Bedroom Villas
One-Bedroom Villas are two-room units that sleeps up to four people plus one additional guest. There are 94 of these units. The master bedroom has a king-size bed. In the living room, there is a queen-size pull-down murphy bed/sofa. There are no sleeping accommodations for the fifth person, but another person is allowed in the room. Usually, the guest will use an air mattress or sleeping bag to accommodate the extra person. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer. These units have one bathroom with a walk-in shower and a whirlpool bathtub. These units have approximately 719 square feet.
Two-Bedroom Villas
Two-Bedroom Villas are three-room units that sleeps up to nine people. Two-Bedroom units at Beach Club are either lock-off units (these are rooms made up of connecting Studios and One-Bedroom units) or dedicated units. There are 74 lock-off units and 78 dedicated units. These villas are 1,075 square feet.
The Lock-off units have a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a second bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a double-size pull-down Murphy bed/sofa. There is a queen-size pull-down Murphy bed/sofa and a table that converts to a small 29" x 67" pull-down bed in the living room. There are two bathrooms, one with a combination tub and shower, and the master has a walk-in shower and whirlpool tub.
The dedicated units are similar; however, the room only sleeps eight. Although a ninth person can be added to the reservation, the resort won't provide additional bedding, linens, or towels. The Dedicated Two-Bedroom has two queen beds instead of a queen bed and sleeper sofa in the second bedroom, and in the living area, there is no pull-down bed. The dedicated unit will only have one entrance to the villa, whereas the lock-off will have two separate entrances. There are two bathrooms in the dedicated units—one with a combination tub and shower and another with a walk-in shower and whirlpool tub. Both unit types have a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer.
Unlike most DVC resorts, there are no Grand Villas at Beach Club.
