Stay in a DVC Villa

Beach vacations with children are made much easier when you have a spacious room to return to. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is home to incredible DVC villas that offer families a comfortable place to stay. When you are traveling to the beach with children you should expect to take at least one midday break in your room so you and your kids can rest. The villas at Disney’s Vero Beach help families avoid cabin fever with their spacious living areas and multiple bedrooms. Families can also find more comfort in the ability to put their kids to bed in separate bedrooms, and having more than one bathroom is a huge advantage when booking DVC!

The pool at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is large and features a tall and twisting waterslide. Life jackets are available to use for your child as well. The Tiger Lily pirate ship splash area is for children who are less than 48 inches tall. This fun play area features a water slide and spraying water cannons.

Rent Cabanas or Beach Umbrellas

Rentals begin at 9am each day and are good for the entire day, perfect for spending a day on the beach with your little one.
