    Vero Beach Cottage Refurb?

    We stayed in unit 1550 (second from the south end) last week. It was completely refurbished and beautiful and included a nice new Keurig with refills and a deep soaking tub in the master bathroom. Not all the cottages were complete, but I don't know how many are left. They were working on the...

    Yes, but check-in when you get there so you can get access to the pool and beach area. They will text you when your room is ready.

    VERO BEACH Information & Adoration Thread

    Hi Denise, Though I haven't stayed in a dedicated, I have heard that you are correct about the beds https://www.disboards.com/threads/vero-info-please.3594209/ Lock-offs can be divided into a studio and a 1BR while the dedicated cannot. There is a kitchenette in the lock-off second room, more...

    I stayed in a two-bedroom lock-off on the third floor of building 15 earlier this year. It was east facing and of course it could be split into a one-bedroom plus studio. Arguably, building 15 is probably in the quietest section of the resort but certainly not too far from the action. It had a...

    Last Minute Availability?

    There's an old airline adage that states, "a plane on the ground makes no money." I also have no evidence, but this is why I agree with you. However I don't believe they will make it available for multiple days unless they are sure they can't get last minute bookings. "An empty room makes no...

    One week in 1-bedroom Value Villa at AKV-Jambo. Heavenly.

    Hi Marypoppins14, I'm happy you had a wonderful time and you must have had an amazing bonding experience. Yes? One of my favorite things to do at AKL is to spend time talking to the African employees working through the cultural exchange program. Did you spend much time talking to them? On my...

    Vero Beach Question

    The laundry room on the 4th floor has a trash can or if you have large amounts of trash, VBR stores the trash and recycling containers in the garages of the villas.

    I believe VBR still only has the character breakfast on Saturday Morning. I would strongly reccommend reservations, but if you are a small party (e.g. 2) walk up would be easier here than at Chef Mickeys. Walk-ups for large parties would be very difficult to seat.

    When I was at the resort in May, they were offering 20% DVC discount at the grill and 10% DVC discount at the store, but there was no discount at the market.

    Consider calling the resort directly and explain the confusion. I think the phone number is on the first page. They will help.

    As of last week, all the stores, restaurants and bars are open. The cost of the Saturday morning character breakfast is $20 for adults and $12 for children. See attached flyer. I don't know if they plan on continuing it, but the current location for the character breakfast is in the Seagrape...

    Vero Beach Renovations

    The last report (2/25/17) from the "VERO BEACH 2017 Information & Adoration Thread" was that Building 14 was the only villa building still undergoing renovation. The cottages are still awaiting their turn as well. You can find pictures of the renovations there as well...

    Unless they have made changes during the recent renovations, the "dedicated" 2-bedroom units are "closest" to the to the street (A1A), but I wouldn't necessarily say they are "facing" the street. The entrances and main balconies face north and south, so there is a chance you might have a nice...

    You will have a wonderful and relaxing time. In the past, the chefs have been very accomodating to the vegans in our party. Call a week in advance, let them know which meals you will be eating there and they will prepare a nice vegan meal for you. Also look in the Sebastian area for restaurants...

    There is not much difference in views between the GVIR and the Deluxe Studio, although you have a slight chance of getting some type of view with the Studio. There are two primary differences. First the GVIRs are located in the hotel while the Studios are located in the villa buildings. I like...

    RAT and Book Online Have Changed

    I know this is a stupid work around, but you can still view an availability calendar. To get an availability calendar, you must select a period of time where there is only partial availability. It doesn't have to be a time you are planning on visiting. On the right hand side, instead of saying...
