VB Trip Report

[Lenc324]

This was our first trip home and I didn't know what to expect. WOW We arrived on Sunday to rain in West Palm Beach, the drive to VB was a straight shot down 95 and took about 1hr 45 min which was fine. There were Publix stores close to the resort which was great.
Arrived at the Resort around 4pm and checked right in. We had an Ocean View Inn room and it was just that. Faced the ocean right out the front next to the Green Cabin Room. It was just beautiful. The room was clean and in good condition.
Even though we had 2 days that were overcast we still all went to the ocean and the pool. The beach is great and clean and the water was warm (not like the pool but warm) There are plenty of activities for kids and some for teens. My 16yr old spent most of his time in the ocean with a boogie board. My elderly father loved the ocean and my Mom spent a lot of time in the pool. Last 2 days of our stay were sunny and very hot. (Bring lots of sunscreen) If you want a wonderful place to relax, Vero is it. We ate at Sonya's which was very good and breakfast every morning at Shutters. Food is expensive all around. We ate at Capt Hiram's (Very good) A small bar called Ozzie's Crab Shack and they had great garlic blue crab, and Ocean Grille (GREAT) I would go back to VB in a heartbeat

Hey, we were the at the same time. We arrived on Monday and just got back today. We also ate at Capt. Hiram's. The Green Cabin Room was great, just the kind of place I would love to bring my laptop to, grab a bottle of scotch and write a bunch of novels.

For future trips, keep Bella Napoli in mind. This awesome Italian restaurant is located on Rt. 1 in Vero Beach. It has some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten! Dress pants and collared shirt type of place, but it is so worth it to dress up a little on vacation for this restaurant.

Glad you had a good time.

Some of the teen activities were Kayaking Adventure but kids under 18 must have an adult with them. Surfing lessons, Boogie board rental (but we will be bringing one with us next trip much cheaper) There is a teen Capture the flag game. You can rent a bike. Tennis, ping pong tables. There is a daily list of things to do. My son was just enthralled to be in the ocean each day watching the girls

We are going to Disney's Vero Beach Resort July 29th through August 5th 2006. Can't wait! Thanks for the review.

When we go my son will be 16, while my girls will be 10 & 11. We will have a 2-bedroom villa.

I love the comment by DukeStreetKing who stated:

That's my idea of a great vacation!

We should meet up sometime and split the bottle.

We just returned from Hutchison Island, a great resort about 30+ miles, I guess, south of VB. We had a nice stay, but we missed VB!! We were so tempted to stop there for breakfast on our way back to MCO this morning. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip!
