VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

[Budzooka]

Leaving tomorrow for our first visit and can’t wait. Know we are missing out on the pool and expect some of the activities to be suspended, but looking forward to a few days of relaxing with the family. Was really worried about weather in late Nov when we booked this trip a few months ago, but outside of a little rain, it looks like it going to be really nice.

This is the substitute for our Aulani trip that got cancelled this summer. Definitely not the same, but glad we are able to use points that we’re going to expire and didn’t want to go to the parks over the holiday break.

Looking forward to experiencing this resort!

Thank you my 3
What exactly is a cabana?

Just checked in and have a great surprise that pool will be open on Monday! Supposed to get some rain tomorrow, but will hopefully clear up soon. Very happy with first impression.

That is awesome! Glad to hear pool will be open! Always wondered, is the pool HEATED? Enjoy! Can't wait to get back in May.

If someone can drop a post to inform about renovation would be appreciated! TIA

Any recommendations for room request (Studio Villa) with a decent view?

The rain lately has been unusual. I don’t recall a year when it’s rained this much so late into the year.
If you are still there, there’s a SpaceX launch scheduled for tonight. You should be able to see it from the beach.

Thank you for posting this information. We are here and did not know about this. I saw that it is rescheduled for tonight.

Yes, thank you for that @floridafam !

I was able to see a launch with my own eyes for the first time on Tuesday and I don’t think I would’ve known about it if it weren’t for your post.

That’s great! I love to watch the launches.

I’ve seen a launch from VB as well!

 

[My3kids1989]

Anyone have pictures of the reno? We have two nights after Christmas booked as part of our road trip and I’m hoping the pool is warm enough!

 

[floridafam]

The last SpaceX launch of the year is scheduled for this Thursday morning. It’s supposed to include three sonic booms as the boosters descend.

Be sure to watch for it if you are at the resort.

We plan on staying at VB next August in a 2BR. My question is do the dedicated 2 BRs have a sleeper in the 2nd room along with the queen bed. If so, is there any benefit to getting a dedicated compared to a lock off. The 2nd entrance in a lock off might actually benefit us.

Anyone at Vero now and can let me know what the pool/beach is like? Is it warm enough to hang out and enjoy? Can you swim? Looking at a January trip.

It’s 64 here today. Hughs near 75 or 80 for the next two days then cooler again.

 

[floridafam]

I would swim in the pool in this weather.

I think this has been asked but did not see any photos of the renovations? Is mini golf the same set up just new "grass" etc? How about pool? Heard a rumor they were expanding the hot tub but with the limited time it was close probably not the case. Thanks!
