I do not think of “ crowd levels” at VB. The resort may be full, but it is not a huge resort. I have never not found a lounge chair, and I have been when the resort is full. There are many activities for children, our grandchildren enjoyed doing many craft activities, some for a fee. I have been when the pool is crowded, but we have never said, “I am sorry we came, the resort is too crowded.”
Probably very crowded like everywhere during spring break. My sister in law went to HHI, they are Marriott timeshare owners, years ago Easter week, when my nephew was a junior in high school. She said that the weather was great, BUT it was very crowded,
long waits for restaurants. ENJOY wherever you decide!
I like to take a sunrise walk on the beach each morning, but this year there was no beach to walk on. The high tide left absolutely no space to walk.
Good to know. Thank you!

Publix on route 1 is not far, further up there’s a WalMart. I often sit on balcony read a book, watch waves,
Can you walk to restaurants that are not on property at HH? We are now looking at HH for April break next year.We have been to Vero about 3 times. We usually do it as a wind down from the parks. Last May, we were at Vero after a 3 night stay in Ft.Lauderdale, skipped the parks all together. We usually do Vero for 3 or 4 nights at most, very quiet to relax. It is a lovely resort. Only negative for us is that the restaurants are all a "little further" away than say restaurants at Hilton Head. We LOVE both resorts, but if I had to pick between HH and Vero, I would probably pick HH for the great selection of restaurants, proximity. Don't think that you will be disappointed in either HH or Vero.As for the west coast, we enjoy the Sarasota area, Long Boat Key, Siesta Key, so beautiful, beaches are gorgeous, great for young children, water is much calmer than east coast of Florida. We travel in May(after college ends for youngest DS), so we don't travel in the more crowded summer months. We traveled to HH right before Memorial Day weekend one year which still was not crazy crowded. We were told that right after Memorial Day, HH really starts "jumping" as many southern schools are dismissing. Restaurants are apparently very difficult to get into in the summer, reservations are definitely needed. We rented bikes at both Vero and HH, prefer HH for bike riding.
LOVE riding bikes in HH to the beach house, great exercise and what a pretty bike ride! Yes, we fly in and out of Orlando, no transportation provided by Vero we rent a car. About an hour and a half car ride I think
Yes, there is a lovely Marina with gorgeous yachts walking distance to Disney Resort. We were there May of '15 and at that time there were a few excellent restaurants. From recollection a fabulous Mexican place, a fish restaurant, and maybe one or two others. I know they had an excellent ice cream shop there also. Ate at the Mexican place and the Fish restaurant. Very family friendly, such an awesome setting, outdoor seating right on the Marina.
Great suggestion! LOVED that thread when we were vacationing there; great information!
CVS is the closest; they have a ton of stuff. We stopped there for snacks, milk, cereal, eggs, juice, sundry beach stuff, etc.
