Hi jerseygal,
I only know VB, cause I LOVE it! I actually go there most often for working vacations - it's sooo relaxing and the sea is very inspirational! I'm sure you'll have a great time!

While I've not visited VB in August I can tell you that sea conditions vary widely depending mostly on the prevailing winds (anytime of year).
Take any rip tide warnings very seriously. If you'd feel more comfortable swimming where there are life guards, just hike north up the beach (maybe 1/2mile) and there's coverage at the public beach.
I've seen the ocean at VB both awash with white caps and still as a mirror. The weather there in Aug will be hot and humid but again the prevail winds will be delightfully tropical at average August temps!

There are beach chair/lounges/umbrella rentals. There are no multi day rental discounts but there are discounts for dvc members. If you go to the 1st post on this thread, and look at the FAQ section - in that it lists what's available to rent and their cost:

What is availiable for rental at the resort?
There are a number of items availible for rental. Prices are as follows
(DVC Member/Non-Member)
2 Chairs and Umbrella: 24.00/30.00
Umbrella: 10.00/12.00
Beach Chair: 7.00/9.00
Cushioned Lounge Chair: 9.00/12.00
2 Lounges and Umbrella: 28.00/36.00

(the lower price is with the dvc discount)

I STRONGLY URGE you to go to the first post in the thread and read thur the FAQ, Scanned documents and other things there as there is a TON of info which could help you to get the most from your stay.

I hope this answers your questions, if not, or if you have others, please feel free to post them here. There are many here as familar (or more) than I, and all of us "beachers" are friendly!

smidgy -
I can now confirm that the "inn" rooms/ OVIR all have the full sized standard coffee makers. So you normal round filters/coffee pouches etc. will work just fine.

** I search for and found 3 seperate photos showing this, so I'm sure this is the case.

Just booked my sister for mid August in an Inn Room!

I was shocked it was available!

Will the noseeums be out in August?

Also she may split and stay at WDW for a few days.

I read the first post, but are the pics of the Inn Rooms anywhere?

I've not stayed at VB yet but cant wait til October!

Hi Liferbabe,
The noseeums will appear about dusk. They seem to bother some more than others. In the inn rooms and on their balconies I doubt you'll have much of a problem, but on the grounds or on the east balconies of the beach cottages they can be an issue.

I found this previous thread that has some photos of and from an OVIR
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2314922&highlight=vero+beach+ovir in post #1 (there maybe more as I didn't go thur the entire thread.

October is one of my absolute fav times to visit!

Hi jerseygal,
I only know VB, cause I LOVE it!

Hmmm... I think I just found the 2011 VB Adoration thread manager. What would you say DVCconvert? You game?

I know it is a bit early, but I also know the thread must be continued by genuine VB lovers.... You are the most involved currently. I hope you will take on the task. And, I love all your answers... Genuine. I am pretty sure starbox and Maria will concur... I truly appreciate having you step in and be the go to person for answers. I have been very occupied this year.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Genuine. I am pretty sure starbox and Maria will concur...

That is affirmative Rob ! DVConvert would be an excellent choice

Anyone with pictures from the corner rooms found in the inn? I have a request for a corner room for Labor Day, have heard they are slightly bigger, but have not seen pictures. They look much bigger according to the fire escape maps found in the rooms.

Interested.

Thanks in advance

Does anybody who's been to VB recently remember what fountain drinks are available at the poolside soda dispenser? We remember that they had "diet" lemonade (Minute Maid Light?) when we were there two years ago. We want to pick up the appropriate adult beverage to mix with it, if it's still available. We check in May 2nd, after a 3 day Wonder cruise.

Great room MiaSRN!



Please removed us from the list.

I had to cancel our August reservation (and soon our October reservation). My sister was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and need to be here with/for her.

Hope to visit in the near future and keep the pictures coming everyone.

Thank so much for the info. I see you're from PA also. Maybe we'll bump into you.

Checking in a week from today with my mom for a combo b-day/Mother's Day celebration. Can't wait to relax and spend some time with her at one of my favorite resorts.
