Is TIW accepted at VB?

Per the TIW website, the discount is available at the Green Cabin Room, and both the Wind and Waves Grill and Bar.

I just saw that. Should have went to the website first. But thanks for answering!!

FYI: The Pirate dinner is not offered every Monday night, regardless of what the website says. After a lot of rigamarole in an attempt to make a reservation for Memorial Day, I was told that it is only select Mondays until June 3. (One would think that Memorial Day would be one of the "select" Mondays.) Then it is theoretically offered every Monday until Labor Day.

Does Vero usually have a Mother's Day brunch or anything else special for Mother's Day?

Arrived at VB today, and studio room was ready, it was between 1 and 2.

What a view of ocean from a studio!! We are building 15, 3rd floor! I a. Sitting on our balcony, listening to the waves break.





Small view of waves, but they sound wonderful!

I think the temperature did hit 80, or came close.

We just will miss you as we're headed down later this month. Hope it is that nice when we're there!

I hope it will be as nice or even better!

This morning we are at Als Family farm for a tour of working citrus farm. Something I have wanted to do for years, ever since I picked up a flyer in a Ft Pierce restaurant but we have not been to Vero at a time they were being held since I have gotten my knees replaced until now. They caution about uneven terrain, I have my cane and I am ready to see!

What a nostalgic, interesting place. Tour begins at 10:30, I think the cost is $6.50 and they offer senior, military discounts.

The orange groves nearer Vero are no longer producing from what we can tell. The Hale store on route 1 is boarded up. Truly the end of an era!

Al’s Family Farm has delicious oranges and OJ. The hour long trip to get there was definitely worth it for us. We are happy we went on the tour.

When does the turtle action usually begin? We are considering a few nights mid May pre/post cruise and wondering if there would any turtle tours yet?

 

[bobbiwoz]

According to this web site, turtle egg laying begins in March.

We used to come in March, my spring break time, and Vero Beach did have morning walks to look at turtle crawls and nests.

I was under the impression that Hales is boarded up certain times of the year, but they're closed for good? We always go in summer, when they're not open...

I think it very definitely is closed for good. We loved their freshnOJ, but Al’s is just as good. We bought Indian River OJ AT Publix, but it’s not nearly as good as either of those!

In the Vero Magazine there is reference to a closer citrus farm, that in the winter has a field for Pick Your Own Strawberries!!

We have other plans for tomorrow, but we hope to drive by this place. If we don’t get a chance, I am making note for next year’s January/February stay!

 

[jenhelgren]

Is there still a Sunday brunch at Wind and Waves? Does anyone have a photo of the menu? Does anyone know if there was special brunch for Mother's Day last year?

Hales moved their retail store to their pack house which is south on route 1 towards downtown Vero
