11/25/10 to 11/26/10
We planned to spend two nights here, actually. We had a really hard time finding a place to stay in this very ritzy and nice tourist town.
First we went to The Driftwood Resort. They had a room, but only for Thursday night. Nothing Friday.
Next we called The Reef. They said they had a beachfront one-bedroom condo we could rent for Thursday and Friday night for $175 a night. Lovely. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very heavy smoker - she smelled like a wet ashtray and half her teeth were broken. All was well and we were checking in when Bill pointed at the truck and asked where we should park it. She said "The Holiday Inn". She had at least a dozen reasons why we could not possibly stay there. It really was awful the way she treated us. So we left.
We called the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa. First they asked what the purpose of our visit was. Bill said we were heading home from Florida and had decided to take a few days to enjoy the beach. Then he was told they did have rooms available. For $387 per night.
Finally, we called The Islander. The lady there, Mary Jane, was really nice. She was fine with the truck and said she had a room with a king bed for both nights for $175. Yay! The room was cute and clean. So happy. Mary Jane also offered to let us partake of Thanksgiving dinner with them. Super nice. We didn't do it, but it was very nice to offer.
