Welcome to Beach Bear & Beach Cub - a bright, comfortable combo unit (main & guest house)for families, friends, and larger groups. Previously known as Life’s a Peach & Made in the Shade, these homes are very popular with guests - many of whom request them year after year.
It’s the perfect pair, shaded beneath the tallest trees in Beachwalk Resort. Gather your group of all ages and hang out on the wrap-around porch, watching the shooting fountain in Waterfall Park. A wooden walkway connects both houses, with a private shaded deck between them for lounging and watching the little ones. Both homes are great for those who need to avoid stairs, with main bedrooms on the first floors.
