So how about it fellow
DVC'ers??? Should I take the Beeline to I95 south to VB or the Turnpike to route 60 and east to the coast?
If it makes a difference, we'll be making the trip very early on a Tuesday morning later this summer.
BTW...it will our first trip to VB and I'd love to hear about the resort too!
TIA
We have tried a number of different ways, but we prefer to go all the way over to the coast to A1A and take that south. It takes a little longer, but it is a much easier drive and you get to see so much more in the way of nature and wildlife. Underlined words below are links to photos and web sites.
You'll want to get up early at least once to catch a
sunrise
They have a nice pool &
Lighthouse spiral waterslide, a REALLY cool water deck area for the real young kids, a hot Jacuzzi, miniature golf, exercise room, ping pong, bike rentals, The Green Cabin Room (bar/restaurant) has 2nd floor covered deck that has a fantastic view of the
ocean and is a nice place to relax with your favorite beverage. It also has live entertainment in the evenings. At night they have a campfire / smore roast (bring the Cutter Advanced to fend off the No-see-ums). You can rent a small catamaran or jet-ski for
ocean fun. Across the street they have a lake, picnic tables, nature trail, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Disney built a private tunnel under the road to access this area. And of course they have the ocean and great waves for boogy boarding. Everything from the ocean to the pool to your room is no more than 2 minutes away walking. So it is real easy to break up your day
5 minutes away is
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge and a wildlife education center. Just a few minutes further up the road is
Sebastian Inlet State Park were the Indian River meets the ocean. There are many good fishing spots around the inlet, and there are river excursions where you can see dolphins, manatee, and tons of other types of wildlife. About an hour north is
Port Canaveral, (where the Magic and Wonder dock), the
Kennedy Space Center visitor complex, and
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with walking and driving tours. 20 minutes south is
McKee Botanical Garden (18 acres) with some REALLY cool vegetation and trees. 30 minutes south in Fort Piece is the
Manatee Observation and Education Center.
Vero Beach Slide Show
Have a great trip
