How far is the beach? Can you walk to the beach?

About a 5 minute walk depending on your Villa location. You can take a shuttle that runs every 15 minutes from the front desk/lobby building and it will drop you off at the Oceanfront Clubhouse with pool.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations at South Beach Resort is within a five to ten minute walking distance to the beach, although the exact distance away does vary depending on which building you're staying in.
