The on-site activities were somewhat limited which was no surprise because of it's location near Disney World. We enjoyed the daily breakfast privided by the resort, daily walks and several paddle boat rides as well as the area attractions.

Fairfield Ocean Walk-Daytona Beach, FL (3/20/02)

On March 20, 2002 we headed east on I4 from Orlando to Daytona Beach FL for a two night stay at the Fairfield Ocean Walk Resort. Our son and some of his college friends had spent the first part of the week at the resort enjoying spring break. This new resort is located right on the beach near the pier. The beach at Daytona is nice and hard which makes it great for walking. Some sections of the beach are also open for car traffic. The lazy river between the resort and beach is very popular.

The furnishings in the unit were Florida art deco which was not our taste in furniture.
