Bathtub reef is on the south end of Hutchinson Island, near Stuart FL. It's about an hour's drive from VB resort.

Just booked our 4th trip to Vero.. we love it so much. Please add us to the list Sept 15-19 can't wait !!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

we are here right now. This is our third year in a row we've come here for June. Had dinner for the first time last night at Shutter's. DH and I enjoyed it, our kids had the kids meals... basic chicken nuggets and mac and cheese.

Went to Walmart today for groceries so we hope not to spend another $100 on dinner! LOL

Spent time at the beach today. It was fun, and the waves weren't too big. Thunder is rolling through here right now, so we're watching a movie and eating popcorn in the room.

I love relaxing vacations like this!

It's been a rainy and stormy two days in Vero - but the rain is very needed.

Hope everyone staying at the resort is having fun in spite of the weather. A few rainy day ideas:

There are two movie theaters - one near downtown and one at the mall.

We saw Super 8 last week and loved it - such a fun summer movie! The downtown theater is close to a HUGE bowling alley.

Treasure museums!! One (McLarty) about 4 miles south of the resort and the Mel Fischer's in Sebastian.

We are thinking about a visit. Thanks for all this information! Very Helpful.

The pool was great too but it always seemed too hot for June temps but was refreshing at night.

Do you recall if the slide was open at night during your visit. We were there 6/17 to 6/19 and each night, the slide was closed by 6:00 p.m.

We normally have the BC or the OVIRs. However, in 3 weeks we'll be there in a 2 bdrm. Does anyone know if any of the 2 bdrms. have a view of the ocean?

 

[conciergekelly]

We have the perfect vacation planned this Christmas break. 5 nights in a tree house and 5 nights in 2 ovir for my family of five. So put us down for December 23-28 on th VB role call. Nothin' better than your feet in the sand on Christmas day!!

... Nothin' better than your feet in the sand on Christmas day!!

I hope to do that one year as well!

 

[DisDaydreamer]

Thanks for the tip. It sounds like a great idea. I will call MS first thing Monday morning!

Not sure if you called yet, but I think Lock-off vs dedicated is a reservation type or category and not a request. If you don't have it you would have to make a new reservation. So at least request third floor for better view chances.

Hmmm... Maybe your feet in the sand on Christmas day.... with a full warm sun in the sky and a Margarita in hand.

Of course... I could go on about the surf conditions and such, but I'll stop with the sun and Margarita.

Does anyone have a recent daily activity guide they can post? I know there's one on the first page of the thread, but I have a feeling it is at least a year old. I'm trying to find out on what day(s) they might have the kayak adventure trips in mid-August. Thanks!

You can always kayak at the Environmental Learning center if there's not one during your trip - it's just before the bridge that takes you to the resort - maybe 3 minutes away.

WOW !!!!! My daughter was a marine biology major at FL Tech her first year of college. She has since transferred to FSU. She'll love this one ! Where's JimMia when I need him !!!!

 

[IrenicMom]

And that, my friends, only confirms my very absolute worst, nightmare inducing fears.

So, if you need me? I'll be at the pool

Nothing is changed... nothing is new.... those friends have always been there. They don't really like the taste of humans... so, typically, it is a mistake if they eat you. (Your mistake)
