Default Belated TR to Vero Beach....

We actually went to VBR back in January but wanted to share some pictures with those who might be planning a winter escape to the beaches of Florida this winter.
This was our first time at VBR and we were not members at the time. The AAA rate was very reasonable so we took advantage and booked a short 3 night stay on our way down to the Keys.
Our first impressions were WOW! what a great place! We truly do feel 'at home' when it comes to Disney, and this place did not disappoint.
We didn't eat at Sonya's but we did get take out at Shutters a couple of times. The food was good. Bleachers Bar and Grill was good and we ate lunch there everyday.
We didn't 'leave' the resort the whole time we were there....just enjoyed the grounds, the pool area, walked the beach and soaked in the view of our Deluxe Inn Ocean View Room!
Enjoy the pictures!









As you walk into the front doors, this painting is hanging to the right:

This mural was behind the check in desk and we thought it was a nice touch:








Another mural in the lobby:

The store:

Hey, this guy looks familiar!

Off to our room. We were in the main lodge building. Going up?

Our Deluxe Ocean Inn View Room...the space was incredible!
