Well, the weather held out for our trip. Sunny and low 80s Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday was cloudy, but warm. We did get chased off the beach at 3pm Tuesday for a quick Thunderstorm. No big deal, we headed up to our OVIR and watched the torment from our covered balcony.
What we loved: the scent of the lobby and the beach. Water was perfect temp, perfect surf(not too rough, not too calm). No rocky bottom, no seaweed, no jellyfish. It was just beautiful.
What we liked: The pool, Bleachers, size of the OVIR.
What was not so great: Shutters, Towel exchange process (why not just hand them out at pool like at every other DVC resort)
The noseeums were not an issue for us. As a matter of fact we saw very few insects the whole trip. I will agree that the resort could use some updating. We took a tour of the cottages (they are awesome), and the CM did tell us that the whole resort is getting refurbished in 2015. The resort did not have the same "magic" as the WDW resorts or even the cruises.
All in all we really enjoyed our first visit to VB. We are looking forward to taking the kids with us next time.
