Begging for help with Vero Beach lodging
 
Does anyone have suggestions for the Vero Beach area in late March? Most tour books don't cover this area. My wife, 1 yr old daughter and I are looking for a nice B&B or small hotel, preferably with a view. We plan on catching a Dodger Spring Training baseball game. Any help is appreciated. <BR>Thanks.

John, <BR>Sorry I didn't read you message earlier. Sounds like you may have already gone to Vero. However, just in case anyone else is going... <BR>I grew up in Vero and my family still lives there. I never realized how fortunate I was!!!!In terms of BB's, I don't think you'll find any. The Driftwood Inn used to be a nice place to stay, but honestly, I would recommend the Disney Resort. It's not as cheesey as it may sound (even though I am a Disney fan--I am from FL, afterall). The architecture is very well done. Your daughter will love it. Just be forewarned that Vero is a very sleepy town--sidewalks roll up about 10:00 p.m. <BR>The local paper(Press Journal)revealed that "some visitors where disappointed in Vero b/c there was nothing to do" . . .so make sure you bring a good book.

John-- I agree with the previous message about the Disney resort; however, I would highly recommend the Driftwood Inn as Disney is kind of secluded...not really in walking distance of anything. The Driftwood has efficiencies and hotel rooms without being in a "chain" hotel. The Driftwood has a pool, open air resturant, and is directly on the beach. It is also in walking distance to all the beachside shopping and other beaches and fine resturants.

Doubletree Guest Suites on the beach. They also have a pool. Great location. Balconies with ocean views.
