Hello to everyone who loves Disney and the beach! If you wish for warm sun, ocean air and Disney cheer as I do, you’re about to experience some very special moments today. We’ve dived right into the wonderful Disney’s Vero Beach Resort which overlooks the beautiful Treasure Coast in Florida.
Whether you’re used to Disney or looking for a surprisingly enchanting holiday, this destination offers the best of each. Okay, now that we’re covered in sunscreen, ready for anything in flip-flops—let’s head out and see what delights this place has for us!
First Impressions: A Hidden Disney Gem
Try to picture yourself hearing the ocean, smelling the beach and seeing how Disney’s teams bring every detail to life. That’s the experience you can find at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort.
You won’t find the action of theme parks here, but there is still an exciting, family-focused Disney atmosphere at this resort. It makes me feel like I’m at the beach, but a little bit of magic reminds me I’m not.
You’ll find a blend of Florida-style buildings and tropical vegetation which gives the resort a long-lasting beach-themed quality. The magic at Disney isn’t loud; instead, it can be discovered in a gentle swing on the porch or the shape of one of its mascots in the décor.
Beach & Poolside Bliss
I think we all agree—it’s mostly the beach we seek and it is always impressive.
There’s a sparkling stretch of sand right through your door, thanks to Disney’s Vero Beach Resort being beside the Atlantic Ocean. You are free to walk, sunbathe or see sea turtles when they come to lay their eggs. The beach has plenty of seats and umbrellas and you never feel crowded there.
Don’t like the feel of sand between your toes? No problem. Families especially appreciate the fun Mickey-shaped pool. You’ll find a chunky 163-foot waterslide, a pirate-themed pool for children and a nice hot tub where parents can relax. If you’re looking for adventure or a calmer experience, you can find it at this pool.
What’s Cooking? Food & Dining at the Resort
Now, food is always a topic at Disney—so let’s look at the snacks and desserts here.
Guests can choose from a small number of great dining places for both quick and leisurely meals.
- Wind & Waves Grill – If you’re looking for upscale coastal food, this is your choice. Fresh fish, juicy steaks and tropical mixed drinks outdoors can’t be topped. Take a look at their Mahi Mahi and Key Lime Pie. Chef’s kiss.
- Wind & Waves is designed for guests who want easy snacks, fast coffee and simple meals such as flatbreads, sandwiches and salads.
- Grab a drink at Wind & Waves Bar right by the pool and you’ll soon feel like you’re really on a vacation.
There are room and villa options for guests who like to cook which is perfect for families wanting to stay longer.
Rooms, Villas & Disney-Style Comfort
Here you can choose between small inn rooms and luxury villas and many offer ocean or garden scenery. Keep an eye out for sailing and sea themes with a touch of Disney added, so it feels nice but not overdone.
Families or groups have many amenities in these deluxe studios and villas such as a full kitchen, laundry and plenty of room. It’s possible to spot hidden Mickeys in your room—check carefully!
Nature, Activities & Disney Extras
Here’s the point where Vero Beach is special—it functions as more than a vacation spot, it is also a haven for nature appreciators.
- Discover what Disney does for sea turtles during your own “Sea Turtle Conservation Tour” and, if it’s nesting season, see the turtles in action.
- Bring your whole group and enjoy basketball, tennis and bocce ball on the mini golf and sports courts.
- Crafting, playing games and watching movies at the Community Hall keep everyone in the family busy when it’s raining.
- Spa Services – Yes, giving yourself a bit of pampering fits right into a Disney experience.
The aim here is to help people relax, bond with nature, friends and their inner child.
Is It Worth It?
The question you really need to ask is: Is Vero Beach Resort by Disney a good investment for you?
If being near the beach at Disney is more your style than the crowds of the parks, the answer should be yes. Generally, you can stay here for less money than Disney World and it’s much quieter.
The service and attention you expect from Disney are here too—only the action or lines are found in the water or at the bar.
