I'm thinking that your thinking is correct. We did it this way (after WDW) on our last trip and will be repeating it again for our trip this month. We found it to be a good chance to decompress before returning to the "real world." And your kids may just remember Vero as fondly as WDW.

They may even say they liked it BETTER than WDW!

We always did our split stays like this: WDW - Vero in the middle - WDW at the end. We drive and it makes it easier that way. My kids consistently said Vero was their favorite part of the trip.

So we're leaving in a couple days, and are wanting to order pizza for dinner one night. Can anyone suggest a good place that will deliver?

Does anyone know if you can pay/reserve a Cabana for the whole time you are there instead of day by day?

Thanks

I always like Orchid Island Pizza right at the North Corner of the resort. They delievr to the lobby.

We are doing WDW for 2 days then Vero Beach for 6 days. I figure it will be a nice change from our normal vacation.

We rented one for length of stay and paid all at once, it was nice because our chairs and umbrella were waiting for us every morning, and they always took ours down at the very last minute.

Thanks for that, I remember seeing them last time we were there.

Another question...anyone ever do any fishing on the beach? I'm thinking of bringing my rod down with us and getting up at dawn one morning and trying my luck. If so, any tips on what to use for bait, etc? Obviously since I'll be at the resort, I'm not really thinking I'll have access to anything more than whats in my tackle box...

We are here in VB now....Today,, they had to get us out of the water due to a 6-foot shark spotted in the water!!

Sorry for bringing this up again but if you are out at dawn you may find this guy.He was so transparent you could see right hrough him. He just may not answer you if you ask for help. LOL

deej696 Get out there early and spray for No-see-ums to be on the safe side. If it's calm they will be out in full force.
You may want to stop by the Wabasso Bait and Tackle Shop at US1/ SR510 Wabasso and pick up some bait and tips. The staff will be happy to help you out. Pick up some shrimp or pinfish if you can get them.(and if you have a way to store them for the morning.small styro cooler and/or bait bucket) If you see the Pelicans making their low passes,pulling up then making like dive bombers near shore, that is a good sign there are huge schools of baitfish. Almost guaranteed something will be chasing them. This time of year Big Tarpon,Kingfish,Blues and other Predatory Fish may be crashing the surf break You can also find Nurse,Bonnethead and Blacktip Sharks in the Surf. Good Luck and don't let the big one get away. We want to hear a great fish story when you get back.

Yikes! I woulda been scared. I think that I've seen "Jaws" too many times. We arrive at VB on Monday so I'm looking forward to seeing turtles not sharks!

Did you see the shark? Any idea how long they made everyone stay out of the water?

We had a great VB stay from June 27 to July 1. On the 28th a DF was up looking at the ocean from her balcony just a bit before 7AM. She saw a loggerhead come onshore and up the hill. She ran to the area where a small crowd was gathering with a naturalist to watch the turtle lay eggs and then go back to the water. It's very rare that one come up in the daylight. DF didn't bring her camera but is thrilled to have witnessed such an extraordinary sight!

We had great weather, enjoyed wonderful activities and no one came back with bites.

Interesting --in our previous visits, you couldn't reserve chairs & umbrellas. This year we were at Vero the first week of May and it was very confusing -- one day they were reserving chairs & umbrellas -- next day they weren't - it really depended on which person was there. When they were reserving, they weren't asking people to pay in advance. Just curious when you were there and if the policy has changed again. Thanks

Hello all,

We just booked another VB stay for our anniversary (8/27 to 8/30), this will be the 4th consecutive year we have stayed at Vero on our anniversary. Tentative plans are arrive late Fri night, perhaps eat at Sonyas or somewhere in Sebastian. Sat night we'll be at Ocean Grill for the actual anniversary, and Sunday night at Capt Hirams, with a detour to the Sand Bar after dinner. In between, beach time and catching up on reading.

We also usually hit the beach one night with a bottle of champagne after dark, and relax out there for an hour or so.

We booked our usual ocean view inn room for this stay.

I read the earlier post about the person who was asking about fishing from the beach, and was thinking of bringing my surf rod along, but that is still up in the air. We also rent beach loungers and an umbrella every year too, and will do it again this year.

First time we stayed here I lost my wedding ring in the ocean, the next year lost my prescription sunglasses. I've learned since then to go into the water on the boogie boards with nothing but my bathing suit!!

Take care,

Bill

We go every year in June. The only time we did a week rental was years ago - we did not pay cash in advance or anything, but we did give them the KTTW card and have them charge one transaction. It was much easier than day by day. We've never been during peak spring season, maybe they don't reserve then?
