Beach Club Resort Residence and Spa

Beach Club Resort Residence and Spa has the gorgeous Gulf and a soothing spa. Relax the day away by the Gulf front pool, or get in and play with the kids. Up for a beach day? You’re in luck! The beach is just a few steps down the boardwalk. Bring a bucket so the kids can collect seashells, and a shovel to help with sandcastle assembly. Back at the resort, visit the Aqua Spa. The on-site Aqua Spa is a twelve-thousand-square-foot facility featuring a fitness center and a full-service spa. The well-equipped fitness center has Lifecycle cardio equipment, strength training equipment by Cybex as well as personal training and group fitness classes. There’s an indoor lap pool and a separate aerobics pool. Be sure to stop by the steam room or sauna to unwind post-workout. The full-service spa allows you to treat yourself to a delicate massage or a cleansing body wrap.

Three-bedroom condos are air-conditioned and individually decorated. Full kitchens give you the freedom to make and serve meals for your family right in your condo. Bring the kids along to the local Publix for groceries. Be sure to pick up burgers and hot dogs to make on your in-suite electric BBQ grill. Lay out buns, cheese, and condiments and let the kids build their own burgers. Don’t worry if the ketchup decides to go rogue; you’ll have an in-suite washer/dryer. Show off your multitasking skills by throwing in a load of laundry while the kids watch a show on the cable TV. The master bedroom has a jetted tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
