We have been to both, Vero, 3 times and HH one time, 3rd week of May, before summer season gets in full swing. Have been to Vero once in mid August, and twice checking in a few days before Memorial Day Weekend, leaving Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. I love both resorts, but I favor HH because of the abundance of great restaurants in very close proximity. We love to bike ride and have rode bikes at both resorts and prefer HH, especially biking to the beach house. We have heard that the summer months in HH get extremely crowded and getting into restaurants is very difficult. Vero is not that crowded in the summer, in fact, Memorial Day weekend is crowded at Vero, but not crazy crowded that I wouldn't return. Even with Memorial Day, was easy getting into restaurants at Vero, but you must drive greater distances to restaurants in Vero. Can't go wrong at either resort in my opinion. We usually try to do Vero after a few days at the parks as a good way to relax. Last May, we skipped the parks all together, and instead spent a few days in Fort Lauderdale then drove to Vero. Really enjoyed Fort Lauderdale, end of May last year was fabulous weather in both Lauderdale and Vero. Much preferred weather end of May in Vero versus mid August as August was very hot and humid. ENJOY!
. Hilton Head is extremely "family friendly", we did jet skis which was a blast, but I am sure that there must be an age minimum on jet skis. I love walking to the restaurants(such a short distance from resort) ice cream shop, and all of the yachts that are parked right across from Disney Hilton Head. Really beautiful setting! LOVE both resorts!
