When searching for a Harbourside 1bdrm on Vistana how do you tell the 1 Bdrm Villa from the 1 Bdrm Corner Villa? I assume one is in Phase 1 and the other is in Phase 2 but I can't figure out which is in each phase or am I wrong all together?

Thanks for your help.

I don't think it's distinguishable in Vistana. I own a fixed week / fixed unit two bedroom lockoff in Phase I, and the smaller 1br part of it is a corner villa, but it doesn't say it anywhere on the Vistana website or on the reservation confirmation.

You won’t know until you check in. If you own a unit that has a corner unit in the deed and you’re there on your home resort reservation/actual deeded week then you can request that you are put in that actual unit. It’s not guaranteed but they will most likely give you that unit. I’d still call ahead of time and make sure you request it. It’s hard to deny an owner the request for the specific unit on their deed when arriving on their deeded week. Of course they could just say that the units are deeded for inventory purposes only and you’re not guaranteed that actual unit.

This would be booked on staroptions so I guess I would be rolling the dice.

If that's important to you, you can make a request saying you'd like a "corner room with balcony, any building, any floor" (or any floor, except ground). Most people probably request a high floor and water views so it's easier to accommodate a request like that.
