Description: Classic surroundings capture the essence of a New England sailing club, this nautical-themed Resort was inspired by the summertime seashore hotels of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island in the 1880's. A sandy white beach runs next to a shimmering lake, recreating a feeling reminiscent of the lazy days of summer along the eastern seaboard. A sand bottom pool, mini water park, health club, full service marina and a beachfront promenade with direct access to Epcot® are just some of the premium amenities you'll find at these resorts. This property is also located only a short walk from Disney's Boardwalk.
Disney Transportation: Access to theme parks, water parks and Downtown Disney from this hotel is available by water launch or bus. You can also use the walkway to enter Epcot and Disney-MGM Studios.
