Imagine a tranquil retirement from Orlando’s bustle, styled after a Mediterranean fishing village and nestled on the shores of the pristine 450-acre spring-fed Lake Bryan. The warm, nautical charm of rope bridges, pirate-themed accents, fountains, thatched pavilions, and lush gardens gives the resort a quiet, old-world ambiance that’s both whimsical and relaxing. The resort features 44 two-bedroom, two-bath timeshare villas—each capable of comfortably hosting up to six guests. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, inviting living area with a fireplace, dining space, and separate bedrooms. The master bathroom includes a soothing jetted whirlpool tub, and many villas have in-unit washer/dryers and private balconies or patios with lake views.

You’ll never run out of things to do here:

• Take a dip in the heated outdoor pool or unwind in the adjacent hot tub, both offering peaceful lake views.

• Cast a line off the dock—Lake Bryan is known for excellent bass fishing. Canoes and small boats are available for rental for those craving lake time.

• Let the kids roam free in the playground or enjoy a match of shuffleboard or a game in the indoor game room.

• Social spots include a pavilion-lit garden with a fountain and seating, barbecue areas, and a cozy social room with computers, a business center, and complimentary coffee and tea.

• Services include concierge support and Wi-Fi (often covered through a mandatory resort fee).

  Bryan’s Spanish Cove places you just two miles from the heart of Walt Disney World and within easy reach of SeaWorld, Universal Studios, and Pleasure Island. For day-trippers, Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, Daytona, Busch Gardens, and Silver Springs are about an hour away.
