So we are staying for 6 days in July. Any good tips of where to eat while there other than at the resort or good places that deliver??

We love Ocean Grill http://ocean-grill.com/~og/intro.html Other than some shopping we stayed at the resort. Shopping is in the same area as Ocean Grill. We did some web surfing and Vero has a lot to do. Have a great time. We are at the World in July. We are hoping to take a day to pool hop to Vero, more for the beach not the pool. We think it would be a nice day trip with our girls.

1. Has anyone ever tried a company called Kayaks,Etc.?
they are located right in vero beach area. I spoke to the lady her price wasn't bad at all $35 per person. Just wondering if this place is really the right place to use or if someone else has another
suggestion for another company.

Here is a past post from lisareniff that should help:

Is there anyone interested in exchanging the 11 month window at Vero Beach for an 11 month window at Hilton Head for July 2011?

I would have been very interested if I hadn't just used next UY's VB points! Oh well.

Hi Lisa,
We could keep this in mind for 2012!

My family absolutely loves the 3 BR at HH, but would like to try the 3 BR at Vero. It is never available at the 7 month window.

What are UY's?

Do you have any pictures of the new beach??

Sorry, I don't, but its now got like a 20' berm of sand. Quite a challenge for some to walk up from the ocean.

No more shells on the beach - last year we bought a piece of luggage to bring home all the shells we found!

First time visiting in May and it was delightful. Heading back in August.

we like squid lips for dinner and we will certainly be going there when we are there in JUNE!

Pizza/casual Italian - Nino's

Five Star Dining - Oriente in Cosa d' Este - Cuban Fusion w/
Lots of seafood, same price as Shutters.

it makes me kinda sad that we won't be able to bring lots of shells home, but it makes me happy to know that I won't have to get all those tiny shells out of ..... well you know where!

It's been a couple years but as something different we enjoyed Mo'bay Grill in Sebastian.

 

[scootert]

Just back from 6 wonderful nights in Vero. The beach restoration is great, weather was warm, and the water was "refreshing". The ocean was very calm - last year waves were huge, this year, very calm.

We thought the resort was much busier than in years past - always go about the same time each year.

Ate at Shutters each night and it was great. Had the local catch most days, but also enjoyed the pot roast.

Just one issue .... if you're planning to rent a beach umbrella, check and see what policy they're following. Second day there we went down about 10:30 and were told everything was taken and they didn't have any more umbrellas (had a total of 18 or 19). They said they had been reserving them for folks in advance (not asking for payment, just "reserving"), but were not going to do it anymore. Next day I go down at 9 and find out most of them had been reserved. Different person at the cabin said "my boss told me not to let people reserve them, but I'll do it".....

So, DH and I agree that next year, we'll stop and buy a couple of chairs and umbrellas so we can set up where we want, when we want.


All in all a wonderful, relaxing time.

Glad you had a wonderful time. That is the way to do it with chairs. Just irks me though that the rental people plant their unbrellas for first 200 ft or so in both directions

Can't wait to see the beach.

The rentals are set up on the dune, but with the refurbishing, there's a lot more space down by the ocean itself and plenty of room there for set up. In some ways I think that's a better spot.

It's hard to imagine just how much sand they had to dump to build it up as they did.

We'll be there June 11. I'd sure love to see some more refurbished beach pics if anyone has any.

Also, my wife is thinking about taking our daughter to do the snorkeling class and some long-ish bike ride. Anyone done those?

I took some photos of the beach this morning on an iPhone. However, I have no idea how to upload them onto this site. I did not see the beach before, so I have no idea what it was like before. But there is a steep, maybe 3 feet, drop off. It was my first time using the DVC points and Vero Beach is my home resort. I loved it!
