We were there 2 years ago and I believe there WAS an elevator.

Yes, there are definitely elevators in the buildings at VB and at the Inn as well. No elevators in the beach cottages.

Wonderful.......thank you very much for that info

Hmmm, since I am js's DM and will be going with them to VB this July, I'm just wondering, is there an elevator to use if you have a 3rd floor unit?

Don't worry DD (js) even if there is no elevator I will be a good sport about it . Having a good view and a nice unit would be our priority.

Thanks,

Karen

OMG!!!
You get the master bedroom so you would have to pull up those big girl panties, take a deep breath and walk up those steps, my very able-bodied, healthy, mid 60s mother!!!!

WOW maybe you should think twice about Vero.

You gotta watch Denise.... she thrives on changing plans.

Luv Ya, Denise..

We - hubby and I and maybe the kids 20 and 23 - will be there 7/18 - 7/23. We can't wait! Vero was our first DVC stay after we bought in, and we have always loved it!

Is there a place for fishing close by?
My dh and ds like to fish in the summer and thought this may be good for them at VB.
Has anyone seen people fishing in the ocean at the beach?
Is this allowed? They have done it at the Jersey Shore (LBI) and
wanted to know about Vero.
Thank you.

If they're looking to do some surfcasting, I believe they'll need a fishing license. My parents' friends winter in Melbourne and I remember that Mr. G always had to bring his fishing license to the beach if he was going to drop a line in the water.

If they'd rather go out on a boat, I think they may have some charters and head boats nearby and they may have some brochures behind the front desk.

I'm starting my countdown. 9 more days!!!

I was looking for restaurants to try out and found Mo-Bay Grill. http://www.mo-baygrill.com/ Well, restaurant.com is offering a $25 gift certificate for $15, but if you use the coupon code "DAD", it brings the price to $4.50. Not a bad deal IMO.

A couple years ago we tried MoBay a really enjoyed it. It's casual in a stip mall but the food was good.

Hi Deb We're heading down Christmas day. Don't know what the weather will bring, but I'm sure there won't be any Man-O-War in the water. And likely, not me either.

We're here!! Just got here this afternoon. Since our room wasn't ready we decided to hang by the pool for awhile. First we had to get our unlimited mini golf.. $5 per person. We are a family of 6, but decided to just do 3 people for mini-golf. The younger 3 really like to go and play together.

Of course, we couldn't find the sunscreen in our bag, so we bought a bottle in the mercantile.... $13! Oh well... it was better than loading everyone back up in the car and driving to CVS up the road.

Wow.. it was HOT! We swam from ~ 11:30 - 1:30. Kids were complaining of starving, so we actually decided to drive to Wendy's for lunch with the locals

Of course once we arrived at Wendy's I got the text that our room was ready. We ate lunch and then decided to do our grocery shopping at Walmart since we were right by it. That is always an interesting trip.

We got back to the resort and are in a 2 bedroom lockoff. I love building 14. It is directly next to the pool. Our rooms are directly above the rooms we had last year and the kids really like that.

DH is now burnt, even with applying the sunscreen. He has decided to go ahead and stay in the room for the rest of today. The kids and I went out to the ocean. I like the new sand, but man, that drop down is insanse for my rolly-poly body! I sat and watched the kids play in the water for about an hour before coming back to the room. Dinner is cooking now and DD and I checked out some games to play this evening.

I will try to upload some pictures while here. Any specific requests?

We're here too! Bldg 15. Having a great time. Just had a great dinner at Squid Lips.

If you decide to walk down the beach (heading south) - stop and say hello! I'm under a navy and white umbrella from about 10:30 till 3 or 4 every day.

 

[jerseygal]

Sounds very nice so far!

About how far for WalMart and Wendys?

Pics would be Great! Would love to see some of the pool and the beach!
How was the ocean? Warm? Heard it can be rough though!

Can't wait for our August 4 night Vero! We also have a 2 BR lockoff! Really looking forward to winding down!

We just got back Friday, also had a case of sunburn despite spf 50 bullfrog. From then on we would spend the hours between 11 am and 2pm in the Villa or in the shade. My 13 year old daughter got body slammed by couple of 6 foot waves on Wednesday. I was only 15 feet away but there was nothing that I could do but watch. I got her out with a bloodied nose, and some pretty nasty face scrapes but she is ok. I am a strong swimmer but could still feel the rip current tugging and took a few beatings myself. Except for this we had a great time playing in the ocean with dozens of good boogie board rides. Please be careful with your family. The sun and the waves are awesome but powerful. Make yourself get up at least one morning for the sunrise and I promise that either your belief in God will be strengthened or your non belief will be challenged.

The surf on Wednesday was insane. In 6 years of visiting Vero, I've nevervseen anything quite that bad - it is definately not the norm. Glad you all had a good time and that your DD was okay. It is a beautiful and wild place.
