Bus Stop brings you to the heart of the Beachwalk Resort within walking distance of everything across the street from the private resort pool and brand-new sprinkler pad to the beautiful shores of the private Lake Kai. Did we mention the pool is heated and there is a kiddie pool for the little swimmers? You can take a walk to the snack shop and get a soft serve Ice-cream cone on your way to the beach.
