We should maybe think about collectively starting to make room videos of our accommodations to help out other owners and compile the Youtube links to a spreadsheet that has each resort and room category. I made a quick one for Clearwater last night. I just removed the audio and added the royalty free music that Youtube already has. Obviously, the rooms go through refurbishments over time, but it would be a nice resource to have for all owners. It was relatively easy to put the video on Youtube and add the music.

Here is the video I made for a 1 bedroom PR at Clearwater:

This would be a valuable resource... especially at resorts with different units and varying room configurations between section or even unit type

Ocean Ridge is still a mystery to me!

I would like a resource that quickly tells me which unit locations are better than others. Which units have better views? Which are closer to parking, the pool, beach, etc? I am VIP yet I never bother to select a particular unit because I am lazy about researching this.

I made a video walkthrough of a 4BR presidential accessible unit at Ocean Ridge, SouthPointe (unit 11). I don't know what the non-presidential 4BRs look like in that section for comparison, but we did have some side windows because it's an end unit. It was nice, but I'm not sure I would have sprung for the presidential if that wasn't the only unit available at 10 months for my week - and we had a ton of points deposited from our cancelled vacation last summer so it wasn't a hardship.

Thank you for this! I couldn't find a video on this unit type anywhere.
