We visited in June, 2004. We were in the
Friday check-in units, which are across the
street from the Saturday and Sunday check-
ins. This was no big deal, as everybody has to
walk a bit to the beach. There are sand dunes
in front of even the 'beachfront' units, and
those residents have to walk up and over the
dunes like everyone else. I was glad we were
on the first floor, which required only a few
stairs up. I would have hated being on the
third floor with no elevators. (If you need an
elevator, make sure you emphasize your
need; there are two buildings with elevators).
The two-bedroom unit we had was good-
sized, and the bedrooms
were spacious. Although it wasn't as high-end
as some places, it was still very nice, and it
was well run. The office was staffed by three
or four people at all times, and security
guides roamed the area regularly.
Organized activities were family-friendly:
bingo, painting, snow-cones, etc. Movie
rentals were only $2. If you don't bring your
own beach umbrellas, you can rent one there,
plus two chairs, for $75/week. We missed
having a washer/dryer in the unit, but they
were available for $1.25 a load in each
building.
The Beach Club is near almost anything. Lots
of go-karts and a small amusement park,
great outlet shopping, and beach stores at
every corner.
Many of the people I spoke with returned
every year, never trading their time. I can see
why, especially for those who live on the East
Coast.
