Vero Beach

These low buy in VB contracts on dvcforless are looking mighty tempting to me. Not today Satan. That is all.

Hahaha . They are seductive, but do the math on the annual dues. That's what helps snap me out of an, "I NEED a Vero Beach contract" episode.

Oh I know but a few grand upfront looks beautiful even if its a lie. That's why I said not today Satan

Are they fake oceanfront like Aulani or actual oceanfront??? Sigh I need to do some research

I don't think they are actual ocean front, but very close. I haven't been there, so I could be wrong. I'm under impression that foliage goes between the entire resort and the beach. They don't want any lights hitting the beach because it confuses the turtles when they hatch. First floor of everything there just sees the bushes.

It's not a manmade cove or anything like that. Here, I believe they're referring to the beach cottages...

If it was right on the beach would you pull the trigger lol

It is really not a bad deal, paying 5-8k a week to rent at the Jersey shore is a bad deal.

Don't tempt me! As someone who has paid $5k+ the past several years for our OCNJ week-long rental, you're making me pull up the dvcforless listings for VB to compare.

It may or may not show what you paid for the week lol Dont let it get you!!!! It's hiding something that comes to bite year after year

100%. But I wouldn’t pay these asking prices

Don’t do it…

 

[airjay75]

I don't think I can unless I stayed there and knew we really liked it. That said, if I did, I gotta say, compared to the aforementioned Jersey Shore rental prices, if I knew our family would like a week every year at VB as much as we do at OCNJ, it would really be way more economical to pick up some points at VB than it would be to pay the astronomical prices you pay for a week long rental at the Jersey Shore.

You’ll have to use your points and visit. I hope to within 2 years.

Hi, long time VB owner!

So I will say this...DH and I purchased our first DVC contract in 2001, 150 points direct from Disney at VB (I think we paid $70 for direct pricing with incentives). It was the only resort for sale (and re-sale was not really a thing...). We still have and love this contract. While we don't visit VB every year, when we do go, we love the resort and we love the beach-y town feel. There is a really nice half marathon in the town of Vero Beach at the end of January (that starts and ends at a nice park a couple of miles from the resort) and we love to run this race so it's great to book VB when we want to do this (we are not from FL so it's a real treat for us).

The resort is right on the beach and the ocean front views from the Inn are gorgeous. The cast members are amazing. And the quick service at the pool is.

I can see why most people would not want to own at VB because ugh, those dues...but for us, it works and we love it. I'll be sad to see this contract go in 2042. Like all things DVC, it's not one size fits all.
