Property
A low-key family owned and operated motel on Vero Beach. Families will be happiest in the affordable 2-bedroom apartments, though motel rooms and efficiencies (motel rooms with kitchens) are available as well. Daily housekeeping is a nice touch, and onsite laundry facilities mean you can pack light. Facilities include a pool, shuffleboard court, barbecue, and a path to the beach.

Location
Vero Beach is on Florida’s Treasure Coast, 2 hours from Orlando and 2 1/2 hours from Miami.

Sleeps
Up to 6 in the 2-bedroom apartments.

Highlights
Pool (heated in the winter) complete with toys. Shuffleboard. Tiki huts in the barbecue area.

Good to know
Lights go out automatically on the shuffleboard court at 10pm, and guests are encouraged to congregate inside (away from the communal areas). Nighty night. Also, bring your own portable DVD player if your kids need movies on demand.
