VB 2013 Information & Adoration Thread ---CLOSED---

[boiseflyfisher]

Hi,

We arrive on Saturday for the week and are bringing friends who have never been to VB.

I've been searching, but have been unable to find, the water temp at the beach/resort for this time of year. Anyone know?

Hoping the weather cooperates and surf is good as we have chatted up the beach so much. If all else fails, we'll just drink margaritas by the pool!

Thanks for any info.

We were there on Sunday and Monday and I believe the water temperature was listed at 79 degrees on the board outside of the beach rental area.

Just got home today from a week in Vero! We were originally to do 3 nights in a studio at Vero then 4 in a 1br at Saratoga. My daughter had so much fun and we loved it so much that we called member services on our second day, cancelled out SSR reservation and upgraded to a 1 br at Vero for the full week. We fell in love! Can't wait to go back!

Was slightly disappointed that they don't do in room dining anymore - that would have been nice for the night we got into town. The ocean more than made up for it though!

So glad you had a great time We haven't been to VB for a couple years so I didn't know room service wasn't offered any more. That said, we had been going down to Shutters and ordering "Take-Out" meals and bringing them back to our room. Better than room service in our opinion. Hope they still allow that on our next May visit.

beach chair rentals are $7 per day, beach umbrellas $10 per day and cabanas $12 per day

Great info, we are visiting June 14th-20th lucky enough to land a Cottage. Curious if you can bring your own chairs umbrellas and whether there is a BBQ grill for each cottage or a grill in a common area to use.

Yes you can bring your own beach stuff!
There is a common area to grill. It is over by the campfire. I don't know if there is one on the other end of the resort.
