Beach Club Villas puts you within walking distance of EPCOT's International Gateway (the back entrance), and the Skyliner station nearby gets you to Hollywood Studios in about 10 minutes. You also share Stormalong Bay with the Yacht Club, which is widely considered the best pool complex at Walt Disney World. It's basically a mini waterpark with a sand-bottom pool, lazy river, and waterslide.
Here's the thing about Beach Club on resale. Contracts expire in 2042, which gives you only about 16 years of remaining use. That's the shortest deed at any WDW DVC resort. Because of that, resale prices have come down to $80 to $100 per point, well below what a resort in this location would normally command. Annual dues run around $9.81 per point.
The short deed actually works in your favor if you're in your 50s or 60s and want 15 solid years of EPCOT-area access without paying Grand Floridian prices. You're getting a prime Crescent Lake location at a fraction of what the longer-deed resorts cost. And it's an unrestricted resort, so resale buyers keep full booking access at all 16 DVC properties.
ROFR risk is lower here than at most resorts because Disney knows the deed is short. We see these contracts move quickly when priced right, especially studios. The BoardWalk entertainment district is right outside your door, and the dining options between Beach Club, Yacht Club, and the BoardWalk are some of the best on property.

Beach Club Annual Dues
Maintenance fees per point, 2021 to 2026
Dues have risen about 32% since 2021 (6 years). Compare every resort on our annual dues page.
Beach Club Villas Annual Dues (2026)
Annual dues at Beach Club Villas cover the resort's share of maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and the upkeep of shared amenities including the famous Stormalong Bay pool complex. Beach Club Villas is part of a larger resort campus that includes the Beach Club Resort and the neighboring Yacht Club, and certain operating costs are shared across these properties. The result is a dues structure that reflects the premium location and amenities while remaining competitive for an Epcot-area deluxe resort.
| Contract Size | Per-Point Dues | Annual Total |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Points | $9.81 | $981 |
| 150 Points | $9.81 | $1,472 |
| 200 Points | $9.81 | $1,962 |
Dues are billed annually by Disney and are subject to change each year. The figures above reflect the 2026 assessment.
Location & Transportation
Beach Club Villas sits in the heart of the Epcot Resort Area, directly on Crescent Lake. The resort is within walking distance of two theme parks, which is a distinction shared by only a handful of DVC properties. The New England seaside theming, with its blue and white clapboard exterior and lighthouse-inspired design, creates a coastal atmosphere that stands out from the rest of Walt Disney World.
Walk to Epcot: The walk from Beach Club Villas to Epcot's International Gateway entrance takes about 5 minutes at a comfortable pace. This rear entrance drops you directly into the World Showcase between France and the United Kingdom pavilions. During Epcot festivals (Food & Wine, Flower & Garden, Festival of the Arts, Festival of the Holidays), being able to walk back to your room for a mid-day break is a significant advantage.
Walk to Hollywood Studios: The walk to Hollywood Studios takes 15 to 20 minutes along a paved path that passes through the BoardWalk area and over a bridge. During busy evenings, this path can be crowded, but it is a pleasant stroll with views across the lake. Alternatively, you can take the Friendship boat, which makes stops at multiple Epcot-area resorts before arriving at Hollywood Studios.
Friendship Boats: The Friendship boat service connects Beach Club to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, the BoardWalk, the Swan and Dolphin, and the Yacht Club. Boats run throughout the day and into the evening. During park close, the boat lines can get long, so many guests prefer the walk.
Bus Service: Complimentary buses run to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney Springs, and both water parks. The bus stop is at the front of the resort near the main lobby.
Skyliner: While Beach Club itself does not have a Skyliner station, the Epcot International Gateway Skyliner station is just a short walk away, connecting you to Hollywood Studios, Art of Animation, Pop Century, and Riviera via the Disney Skyliner gondola system.
Beach Club Villas DVC Room Types
Beach Club Villas offers three room categories. The total DVC inventory at Beach Club is relatively small compared to larger resorts like Saratoga Springs or Old Key West, which means availability is competitive and booking early is essential.
Deluxe Studios (339 sq ft, sleeps 5): Each studio features a queen bed, a double-size sleeper sofa, and a single pull-down bed, giving it capacity for 5 guests (compared to 4 at most other DVC studios). The kitchenette includes a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster. The bathroom has a single vanity with a tub/shower combo. Studios are decorated in soft coastal blues and whites that match the resort's seaside theme.
One-Bedroom Villas (726 sq ft, sleeps 4-5): A master bedroom with a king bed, a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, a full kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Washer and dryer are included in the unit. The master bathroom has a whirlpool tub and a separate walk-in shower. A private balcony or patio overlooks the resort grounds.
Two-Bedroom Villas (1,083 sq ft, sleeps 8-9): The one-bedroom combined with an adjoining studio, providing two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and washer/dryer. This is the largest room type available at Beach Club Villas. The two-bedroom layout works well for families of six or more, or two couples traveling together who want separate sleeping spaces.

Recreation & Amenities at Beach Club Villas
Beach Club Villas guests have full access to the amenities of both the Beach Club Resort and the neighboring Yacht Club. The resort campus sits on Crescent Lake and is connected to the BoardWalk entertainment district, giving you more dining, shopping, and entertainment options within walking distance than almost any other DVC property.
Stormalong Bay: This is the crown jewel of Beach Club and the single biggest reason many buyers choose this resort. Stormalong Bay is a 3-acre, 750,000-gallon sand-bottom pool complex shared between Beach Club and Yacht Club. The main feature is a massive free-form pool with a sand bottom that feels like a beach. A 230-foot waterslide built into a life-size shipwreck replica, a lazy river, multiple hot tubs, elevated sun decks, and a children's wading area round out the complex. Stormalong Bay is exclusively for Beach Club and Yacht Club resort guests, and it is widely considered the best pool at Walt Disney World by a significant margin. Pool towels, loungers, and poolside beverage service are complimentary.
Cape May Cafe: A character buffet restaurant located in the Beach Club lobby. Breakfast features Minnie Mouse and friends in a beach-themed setting. Dinner is a New England-style clambake buffet with crab legs, mussels, clams, and carved meats. Cape May Cafe is one of the most popular character dining locations at Walt Disney World, and reservations fill up quickly during peak season.
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop: A 1950s-style ice cream parlor and casual restaurant famous for the Kitchen Sink sundae, an enormous dessert served in an actual kitchen sink. Beyond the spectacle items, Beaches & Cream serves excellent burgers, grilled cheese, and milkshakes. The restaurant is small (about 40 seats), so expect a wait during busy times. A to-go window is also available for ice cream and sundaes.
Yachtsman Steakhouse: Located at the adjacent Yacht Club, this upscale steakhouse serves premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and an extensive wine list. It is one of the better steakhouses on Disney property and makes for an excellent date-night option within walking distance of your room.
BoardWalk Entertainment District: The BoardWalk is directly across Crescent Lake from Beach Club, about a 5-minute walk along the waterfront path. It features restaurants like Trattoria al Forno, BoardWalk Bakery, and the AbracadaBar cocktail lounge. Street performers, artists, and shops line the promenade in the evenings. You can also rent Surrey bikes for a ride around the lake.
Beach & Lawn Activities: The sand beach along Crescent Lake is available for relaxation (no swimming in the lake). Lawn games like croquet, volleyball, and bocce ball are set up on the resort grounds. Bike rentals and Surrey bike rentals are available. A fitness center and arcade are located inside the resort.
Lafferty Place Arcade & Community Hall: The DVC community center at Beach Club Villas hosts daily activities for kids and families, including arts and crafts, movie nights, and games. Board games, puzzles, and DVDs are available for checkout at no charge.
Frequently Asked Questions: Beach Club Villas DVC
Why is Beach Club Villas so popular despite the 2042 expiration?
Location is the single biggest factor. Beach Club Villas is within walking distance of both Epcot and Hollywood Studios, which no other DVC resort can match. Add in Stormalong Bay (the best pool at Walt Disney World), the BoardWalk entertainment district, and multiple dining options within a 5-minute walk, and you have a resort experience that buyers are willing to pay a premium for, even with only 16 years of remaining use. Many buyers calculate the cost per vacation year and decide that the quality of the experience justifies the shorter contract.
What is Stormalong Bay?
Stormalong Bay is a 3-acre, 750,000-gallon sand-bottom pool complex shared between Disney's Beach Club and Yacht Club resorts. It is the largest and most elaborate pool at Walt Disney World. Features include a sandy-bottom main pool, a 230-foot waterslide built into a life-size shipwreck, a lazy river, multiple hot tubs, elevated sun decks, and a children's wading area. Only Beach Club and Yacht Club resort guests can use it. Stormalong Bay is the single amenity most frequently cited by Beach Club Villas owners as the reason they chose this resort.
When does Beach Club Villas expire?
Beach Club Villas contracts expire on January 31, 2042. That gives buyers approximately 16 years of remaining use as of 2026. Unlike Old Key West, there is no extension option for Beach Club. Once the contract expires, ownership reverts to Disney and you no longer have rights to use points or book stays. Despite the shorter remaining term, Beach Club consistently trades at a premium due to its location and amenities.
How close is Beach Club to the BoardWalk?
The BoardWalk entertainment district is about a 5-minute walk from Beach Club Villas along the Crescent Lake waterfront path. The walk is flat, paved, and well lit in the evenings. The BoardWalk has its own restaurants (Trattoria al Forno, BoardWalk Bakery), bars (AbracadaBar, Jellyrolls dueling pianos), shops, and street performers. Many Beach Club guests walk over in the evenings for dinner and entertainment, then stroll back to their resort along the water.
Can I walk to Epcot from Beach Club Villas?
Yes. The walk from Beach Club Villas to Epcot's International Gateway entrance takes about 5 minutes. This rear entrance puts you directly into the World Showcase between the France and United Kingdom pavilions. During Epcot festivals like Food & Wine or Flower & Garden, being able to walk to and from the festival throughout the day without waiting for buses or boats is a major convenience. Many Beach Club owners consider this walking access the single most valuable feature of the resort.
What dining options are near Beach Club Villas?
Beach Club Villas has some of the best dining access at Walt Disney World. On-site options include Cape May Cafe (character buffet breakfast, clambake dinner), Beaches & Cream Soda Shop (burgers, ice cream, the famous Kitchen Sink sundae), and Martha's Vineyard lounge. The nearby Yacht Club has Yachtsman Steakhouse and Ale & Compass. The BoardWalk adds Trattoria al Forno, BoardWalk Bakery, and AbracadaBar. And you are a 5-minute walk from Epcot's World Showcase, where dozens of restaurants from around the world are available.
Is Beach Club Villas hard to book?
Beach Club Villas has one of the smallest DVC inventories, which makes it one of the hardest resorts to book at the 7-month window. If you own Beach Club points, you can book at 11 months out and have a strong chance of securing your dates, especially for studios. At the 7-month window using points from another resort, studios during peak seasons (Christmas, spring break, summer) fill up within hours of becoming available. If Beach Club availability is important to you, owning Beach Club points is the only reliable path.
Does Disney exercise ROFR on Beach Club Villas?
Disney exercises Right of First Refusal on Beach Club Villas selectively. Because Beach Club has strong demand and a shorter contract, Disney occasionally takes contracts priced well below market value. Contracts priced between $95 and $115 per point typically pass through ROFR without issue. Contracts priced under $85 per point have a higher risk of being taken. Our brokerage tracks ROFR patterns closely and can help you price your offer to pass Disney's review.
How does Beach Club compare to BoardWalk Villas?
Both are in the Epcot Resort Area with similar walking distances to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The biggest differences are the pool (Stormalong Bay at Beach Club versus the Luna Park pool at BoardWalk) and the room inventory. Beach Club has a smaller DVC section, making it harder to book but also more exclusive. BoardWalk has a larger inventory and slightly lower resale prices. Both expire in 2042 and are unrestricted. If Stormalong Bay is a must-have for your family, Beach Club is the clear winner. If you want easier booking availability in the same area, BoardWalk may be the better practical choice.
What is the best use year for Beach Club Villas?
The best use year depends on when you typically travel. If you visit during the holidays (November/December), a December or February use year works well because your points reset before your trip. If you travel in summer, a June or August use year aligns your points with your travel window. For Beach Club specifically, many owners prefer a February use year because it gives the most flexibility for banking and borrowing around the popular Food & Wine Festival dates in the fall. Your DVC resale broker can help you identify the best use year for your travel patterns.
Why Buy Beach Club Villas DVC Resale
Beach Club Villas is the resort that DVC insiders call the most desirable address at Walt Disney World, and the resale market reflects that reputation. Despite having the shortest remaining contract term in the DVC system (expiring January 2042), Beach Club consistently trades at premium prices because no other resort can match its combination of location, pool access, and walkable dining.
The location is what sets Beach Club apart from every other DVC property. A 5-minute walk puts you at Epcot's International Gateway entrance, right in the heart of World Showcase. A 15 to 20-minute walk or quick Friendship boat ride gets you to Hollywood Studios. No bus lines, no monorail transfers, no parking lots. You walk out your door, stroll along the waterfront, and you are inside a theme park. During Epcot festivals, the ability to walk back to your room for a break and then return for an evening concert or tasting event is a game-changer. Families who prioritize Epcot and Hollywood Studios consistently rank Beach Club as their first choice.
Stormalong Bay is the other major draw. This is not a typical hotel pool. It is a 3-acre, 750,000-gallon sand-bottom pool complex with a 230-foot waterslide, a lazy river, multiple hot tubs, and sun decks. It is exclusively for Beach Club and Yacht Club guests, which means you will never deal with the overcrowding that affects some of the larger resort pools. On non-park days, Stormalong Bay is the activity. Many Beach Club families spend entire vacation days at the pool and never set foot in a park.
From a financial standpoint, Beach Club resale contracts trade between $90 and $115 per point. For a 150-point contract at $100 per point, you are looking at $15,000 plus closing costs and the $500 Disney (CAF) Club Activation Fee. Spread over 16 years (to the 2042 expiration), your annual amortized cost plus dues comes to roughly $2,410 per year. Compare that to cash-rate rooms at Beach Club, which run $550 to $900 per night, and a single 5-night trip per year through DVC saves you thousands.
Beach Club is unrestricted on resale, so you can book any DVC resort at the 7-month window. However, most Beach Club owners we work with book their home resort for the majority of their trips because the location and amenities are so strong. Owning Beach Club points gives you 11-month priority, which is the only reliable way to secure availability at this high-demand resort.
