Back from Vero Beach....The good, the bad, and the ugly.

I made a typo in my directions. You take 528E from Orlando Airport going toward Vero. You take 528W when returning. I stated it ws 528 E. Your reservations will have directions on them anyway. Good luck!

As I am not a big beach person, I can't picture myself staying at VB for a week, but I have often thought it might be nice to go for a three day jaunt...maybe after a week at WDW

Disney Doll,

This will be our fourth visit to VB. We usually stay for two nights and follow up with WDW. Either way it's a great place to relax!

We just got back from two nights at VB. It was very relaxing and the beach was beautiful. We rented an umbrella and chairs two days. It was worth the price. the chairs were comfortable and adjustable and the umbrella was large. This rental thing seems to be fairly normal on the Florida beaches. We had the same thing last year when we stopped at Pensacola Beach last year. The Atlantic Ocean was very nice and the beach was very clean. At high tide there was very little beach.

The company that rents the chairs also rents boogie boards, Wave Runners, catamarans, etc.

We stayed in an Inn room and found it spacious and very comfortable.

There is a lack of dining facilities right at the resort with Bleachers (pool side dining and not open most evenings for dinner), Shutters (open for all meals) and Sonya's (more expensive dinner dining). The menus were not that varied, but the Eggs Benedict at Shutters were divine. Tracey was a great server at dinner. Friendly and fun. There are other restaurants and dining facilities outside of the resort, but you will need a car to get to them.

We found ants in our room the second day, so they recleaned our room, change the bedding and sprayed for ants. With the AC on high, we had no problem with odor that night. Leona and her crew had the room fixed up for us in no time.

We drove by Port Canaveral on our way down from WDW and got to see the Magic in port. It is gigantic and beautiful.

After two night at VB, we headed back to WDW for four nights. VB was just what I needed to get my job out of my head before hitting the parks. We'll do it again in two years.

The 2 & 3 year old will love the "kiddie pool". Actually, it is a replica of Peter Pan's ship with water cannons, slides, even a steering wheel.
