Hi. I am thinking of renting points for a stay at VB next year. Is it possible to get any 2 BR units that are ocean view? Are any of the 2 BR units on higher floors with balconies? I have no idea of the resort layout for these rooms. Love all the pics! It looks like this would be a very relaxing vacation for our family.
The answer is maybe...
All units have a balcony or porch.
Let's start with the basics. VB has the INN, 6-cottages, and 3 villa buildings. The villa buildings have the 1 & 2 bedroom units, and studios. All units in the villas are actually 2 bdrm units. There are dedicated and lock-off 2 bedroom units. The lock-offs split to make a 1 bdrm and a studio. The villa buildings are three floors so the first request is 3rd floor.
The cottages are on the beach and in some occasions restrict view of the ocean especially when you are not on the 3rd floor of a villa, but not always.
Here is the layout of the resort....
So, to start with you want a "lock-off" unit on the 3rd floor. Here is a layout of the 2 bedrooms created by Lisareniff.
The villa buildings are "U" shaped with the bottom of the "U" facing the ocean. You will notice that the dedicated 2 bdrm units are furthest away from the ocean. In this image the dedicated units are in blue and the lock offs are in pink/purple.
Ok, so that is the basics... 3rd floor, lock-off unit is the request.
Now, if you get lucky and get a unit actually facing the ocean then you will likely get to see it if you are on floor 2+, EXCEPT in building 14 which is almost completely surrounded by vegetation and cottages in front. So, your next request is bldg 12 or 15.
Once again if you get ocean facing in 12 or 15 you are good to go. However, 12 and 15 are on the north and south ends of the resort, so if you end up on the side of one of these villas then you want either the north side of 12 or the south side of 15. This puts you on the outside leg of the villa and having an unobstructed view. Though, the view is off to the side.
Hope this helps. I'm not sure what all requests you can make, but bottom line is... Lock-off unit, 3rd floor, bldg 12 or 15, ocean facing, and if not ocean facing, then north leg of 12 or south leg of 15.
Hope that helps... Good luck

The no see-ums that people talk about on these boards never really bothered us. The temps were in the mid to high 70's. The days would start out overcast and then clear up and be sunny by noonish.
Aside from them the rest of the trip was very nice.
Hmmm.....something tells me I may have company!
, I could pre-celebrate my birthday, which is the 17th and help you celebrate the BIG 5-0.
This is exactly the type of information I was looking for. Your information has been very helpful.
