I know you are right in that it is hard to book a stay during school vacations. When I tried recently, everything was indeed totally booked. Guess I wasn't thinking about timeshares.........but that's good to know. Next time I'll think a year ahead or more.........just to get what we want.
I really appreciate your reply.

We've only been to Vero Beach once.....rented a condo on the beach for two weeks. I don't remember shells but I do remember the sand fleas if you sat right near the edge of the water..........as it was the month of May. Little "no see ums"..... Sanibel Island had the same little buggers. April was our month to go to Florida as the heat really felt good then, after a long cold Vermont winter.............but in May it began to heat up. That time we flew into West Palm Beach, rented a car, etc.
That side of the state had empty highways..........except on a Sunday when we took a ride down to Palm Beach "just to check it out" and see how the super rich live.
It was actually very pretty and quaint as we entered the town.......but that's another story. We also liked Vero Beach very much, on the barrier island part.

I do remember the shells and coral on Satellite Beach as well as Sanibel Island on the gulf coast.........know what you mean...

Thank you !! I think the grandkids will enjoy the Disney Resort at Vero Beach some time down the road..........
