VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

Going back end of October for my wife's birthday. Do they do anything for Halloween?

In the airport on my way down! See you tonight, Vero Beach!

What do you think?

 

[Wayland10]

Love it! One thing I learned yesterday that I hadn’t seen in this thread is that you can order food off any of the dinner menus (including Wind and Waves Grill) at the pool bar!
Love the beach, the lobby, the sandcastle waterside, the lawn games, the campfire sing-along…. Just wish it would stop clouding up at sunset so we could see the stars!

Hi! If you own Vero Beach points directly, can you please tell me what the advantages are for owing directly? Has anyone booked a 3-bedroom at Vero Beach? We currently own OKW and would like to go to Vero more. Thanks!!!

I have stayed in the cottages numerous times in the past.
Whether or not I could have gotten the cottage at 7 months, I don’t know.

I no longer have my points at VB.

They did when we stayed there in 2017. They even made a haunted walk through in one of the beach villas. Otherwise it was pumpkin carving, trick or treating and such. Quite a few nice activities.

It has been several years since we stayed at Vero Beach and I can not remember what type of coffee maker is in the Inn studio rooms (and what type of coffee filters I need to bring). Also, I was looking at the information on the DVC web site and it says the inn studio rooms have "1 queen bed, 1 queen-size pull down bed". I thought the inn studio rooms used to have 2 queen beds, did they change that out?

Yes, they changed the bed arrangement in the Inn rooms during the most recent refurbishment. Works okay for the two of us, but less convenient for families with youngsters. At least they kept the real table and chairs in the inn room, rather than going the way of a number of the WDW DVCs (looking at you, BWV).

Thanks for the info. as I didn't realize the bed configuration would be easy to change-(I thought maybe they just used cut and paste one too many times in the description ). Do you know what kind of coffee makers they have in the Inn studio rooms now?

It's been a year but last time it was a Keurig. We asked for a regular drip, because we bring our own. Enjoy

Single serve Keurig when we were there in June.
We were in a studio in Building 15 and it had one queen bed and a couch/Murphy bed combo unit (couch folds down when the Murphy bed was pulled from the wall).

I just booked my first stay at Vero Beach! It is for 3 nights and the category is "Inn-Ocean View". In my research, I can see that some of the balconies have railings that you can see through while sitting and some have a balcony with more of a "wall" type railing that you can not see through while sitting. Does anyone know where the "see through" balconies are located as opposed the the wall-type balconies? What should my room request be to get a see through balcony (not quite sure how to describe that to the CM so maybe a specific floor would work?)

I wonder how they were able to change them to the Murphy bed pull-downs... I had thought the types of beds in the units was deeded. Makes me wonder if they could change the VGF rooms to a King and Murphy or Queen and Murphy down the road if they wanted to. (I would be in favor of that change for at least some units).

Maybe @drusba or @Sandisw would know more of the details?

The Murphy beds referred to are Queen size, so any legal requirement for 2 Queen beds in a given room would still be met.

I suppose, but I would argue there is a big difference between a real bed and a pull down bed in the same way there'd be a difference between a real bed and a pull-down mattress.

Do they launder the Murphy bed sheets between every guest? or only when it is clear the bed has been used?

I suppose this could be asked for the second queen in certain rooms as well.

I’m under the assumption that Disney would do the right thing and strip all bedding surfaces after a guest has checked out.

The mattress on the Murphy bed is a regular mattress - the Murphy is essentially a platform bed that folds as a single unit into the wall. Many guests report they’re as comfortable or sometimes more comfortable than the regular bed. They’re not at all like the old sofa beds they replaced, which is the reason many are disappointed when structural features prevent Murphy beds from being installed in place of sofa beds, such as at OKW (window placement) or the top floor of BRV (angled ceiling).

As far as laundering the sheets, hopefully they do make sure that clean sheets are placed for new guests. But I’ve read more than one report of guests finding dirty sheets on sofa beds when checking in, unfortunately, so I don’t think I can guarantee it doesn’t happen with the Murphy beds.
