OK, here's the thing. You cannot guarantee an ocean view one bedroom or studio. You can guarantee an ocean view room in the Inn. There's really no big difference between a studio and Inn room except an Inn room has two queen beds and a Studio has one queen bed and a pull out couch. A one bedroom would be the deluxe treatment. I guess I would recommend that for a honeymoon. They would have the advantage of a huge hot tube off the bedroom, even if it doesn't turn out to be ocean view. Most views are very nice.
There are a couple of INN rooms on the 3rd and 4th floor that have 1 King bed instead of 2 beds.
Since this is a Honeymoon, you can make it special by calling in-room dining at the resort where they can make up all sorts of special things to put in the room before your honeymooners arrive
Choc. strawberries and champagne
Fruit and cheese plates or baskets
A "conch shell" plate where they use brown sugar for the sand and make edible shells and other nautical type things to eat
There is laying in the hammocks gazing at the stars and listening to the surf.
And just watching the sunrise. Cant be beat.
Try the "Healthy Floridian" breakfast at Shutters - it always has a great selection of fruit - sometimes as many as 10-11 diffenrents kinds, and a muffin, yogurt and granola.
A place I would recommend for activies would be Captain Hirams at www,hirams,c_m
They could rent a boat or jet skis for a long period of time and cruise around the inland waterways. They also have bands there playing outside at the sandbar. It's pretty close. Another place you could rent a boat is at
Nothing is going to be within walking distance of the resort except a little store and pizza place next door (fun to get icecream there after a beach walk). That is because the resort is surrounded by $$$$ condos. It is a beautiful area.

I've wanted to try the star watching activity sometime, where they provide telescopes. The nights can be so clear there.
I've also always been curious about the huge equestrian facility north of the resort and the west side of A1A. The place is huge, with beautiful houses.
Theres 1/2 day fishing with Capt. Gus Brugger Pattern Setter Charters

Just up the road on A1A (about 40 minutes) & over the Causeway into DT Melbourne you can stop and view the Manatees there, and enjoy all the sights of this little historical Florida town.
Go through the tunnel to the lake on the other side of the highway. There are beautiful trails surrounding the lake you can walk. Very peaceful. Interesting foliage, especially if you are from the Midwest.

There are two of these one is on the river about 4 miles south of the
DVC at Vero on the right side of A1A. Nice place for adults. Price for two usually runs about $90 with a drink or two. Quiet atmosphere.
There is also theater in Vero, but I do not know the season for this.

Sonya's was 10% off dinner on wed.
There is a flying school in Vero, and you can see how they build custom airplanes there....
There is an energy encounter over at the nuclear power plant on hutchinson island it's free and it's pretty cool. It's very hands on and informative and basically just cool.
www,fpl,c_m/encounter
There is a manatee place over in fort pierce, it's only a dollar per person and is fairly informative. (its right by the power station)
mclary treasure museum (unlike the other one, it's only a dollar) it was pretty cool too. (and it's pretty much 8 miles from the resort).
there is also a udt-seal museum (navy frogmen) which we haven't been too, but it's right over in fort pierce as well.
Of course you can go to Cape Canaveral while staying at VB it takes about an hour and fifteen minutes or so to get there.
Hope this is helpful. You are giving them a nice gift.
it shows VB Resort - Inn is to left of pool and to left of Inn is 2 beach cottages with U building behind; to right of pool is 4 beach cottages with 2 U buildings situated behind.
I'm sure they'll love honeymooning at Vero.
