When I go on the Vistana site the only oceanfront units that are available 12-8 months out are platinum+ which apparently my oceanfront units are not since I can not book.
What is that unit? Is there resource in Tugg describing the categories of units at WKORV (I looked and did not find)? TIA.

There are Oceanfront Deluxe units and then there are Oceanfront Center units.

This thread has more information on the two types.

Additionally, Platinum+ is the season and has nothing to do with the view. All of Vistana Hawaii is Platinum+ all year regardless of view.

The reason you cannot see any oceanfront in the south building is that there are only 24? Units for deluxe and 24? for the OC center, you might have to reserve at the exact 8-month to have a chance to book. The north WKORV-N has more OC units, might be a little easier to book at 8-month mark.

The South oceanfronts are much better views than North. IMO

The South oceanfronts are better views than North oceanfront Building 5. I would say the South oceanfront and North oceanfront Building 8 are equivalent views.
