I am staying at one of the VB Villas(3 bedroom) in a couple months. Have been to VB a bunch of times and never payed much attention. Does each villa have it own grill in front of it? Thanks.

That would be wonderful, but the grills are on the other side of A1A! We're determined to use them on our next BC stay...the end of June!

Thanks for the head's up

You're welcome. We are going to try out the new location this weekend. Should be better than the old one.

The umbrella and beach chairs I ordered a month ago have shipped! The chairs are the same type we had in the swap last year.

Any one have beach renovation in progress pictures yet? I am so anxious to see what's going on! We missed our VB vacation, but because of the weather, I'm kind of glad things happened like they did.

 

[dvc4life]

So excited. DH booked Vero Beach for Saturday, September 11th in a one bedroom the night before we get on the Wonder for this year's DVC Member Cruise! We have never stayed here before and are so excited. Can't wait.

 

[Twinprincesses]

We will be there July 20th - 25. First trip there. Decided here instead of Disneyland this year.

Is there a chair swap for 2010??

 

[Twinprincesses]

Oops, never mind, just saw there is no chair swap going on.

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Just got good news, sort of, we were going to leave for Spring Break at Vero on Tuesday March 30th after work and drive straight through to Vero, but now we just found out that our oldest has a soccer tournament the weekend before in Cincinnati 4 hours from our house.

Four hours closer to Vero, so we have decided to leave straight from the tournament and will be getting down to FLA on Monday instead of Wednesday. That is the good news, the bad is that we can't get into Vero until Thursday so we have decided to stay at the Doubletree up in Melbourne for 3 nights before.

We are at 39 days today now until we leave, can't wait for the pool and the beach.

Have a great Monday everyone, if that is possible.

Tom

Sorry. Was over in Sebastian on Friday but didn't make it beachside. Lots of rain :-( Last reports, the company doing the work didn't receive final permits to start until this past Tues. They were stockpiling truckloads of sand on Wabasso next door and should be in full gear by now.

Red light cameras are going up in Vero Beach. The following locations are set for installation in the next few months:

17th Street at US 1 - Westbound
20th Place at State Road 60 - direction unknown
20th Street at 20th Avenue - Northbound
Barber Bridge at Indian River Boulevard - Westbound

Are all the grills across A1A? We will be there (hopefully) for our first visit in October. I am trying to learn about the resort. I thought we would grill at least once, but that sounds inconvenient. Is it? How many grills are there? Are there grill utensils available to use?

I think I have seen a "graphic" of the layout of the VB resort in the past, but I can't find it. It showed the layout of the Inn and the various buildings. Does anyone know what I am referring to and where I might find it.
Also, we will be booking a 1 BR. Which building would I request to be near beach access first, and then the pool.
Thanks for any answer

We grilled over there in June 2009 and it was by no means convenient. We we staying in building 15 and it was a fair distance to walk and you had to make sure you took every thing you needed with you or it was a hoof to go back. Our traveling friends provided the meat and charcoal and I honestly don't recall what we used for grilling utensils. We grilled enough pork chops and smoked sausage for seven people. We carried porkchops, sausage, charcoal, aluminum foil, cooking spray, cooking utensils and probably a beer or three. IF we do it again we'll probably drive it over.

Ill try to take some today and post.

What is up with the new AWEFUL pool lights? CM's think the Dive In movies are a thing of the past! I walked by the pool last night and you could have landed planes at the pool! Ill get some day time pics later.

Grad that nice Photobob night time picture to remember what it used to look like (beautiful) because that is a thing of the past!

How long is the beach refurbishment supposed to go on for?
