Haven't been to Vero, but we love HHI!!! SO much to do on the island!! We love Disney's resort there, but also just love the island! Lots of great bike riding trails, golf, tennis, boating, kayaking, restaurants all over the island. Disney has nice activities going on also plus a pool at the resort and beach house. We also really enjoy HHI's wide low wave beach. The cm's are super friendly too.
