Hi there, AnneMarie! Who doesn't love a beach vacation? And when you can go to the beach and still feel a bit like you are in the "Disney bubble", it's even better.
You will find some awesome amenities at
Disney's Vero Beach Resort. Your room will come equipped with enough fluffy beach towels for the number of people in your room, and you can exchange them at the pool whenever you need new ones. There aren't beach blankets - like the ones that can accommodate a couple of kids, a cooler, a boom box (yes, I am that old) - but the beach towels are very generously sized and you can easily make a beach blanket out of two or three.
At
Eb & Flo's Rentals, you'll find complimentary rentals of things like sports balls and board games, plus you can sign up for pool side activities and other resort activities here. Sand toys you may have to bring from home, but you can rent bikes, ping pong equipment, tennis racquets and more.
You can also rent beach chairs and umbrellas. The chairs are the lounge type of chairs, and an umbrella easily covers both. If you are going when the resort is busy, I always recommend renting these the night before if you can.
Enjoy a wonderful vacation at the beach!
Anna
