Me too. I keep looking at my mother-in-law's digital picture frame with all of our pictures of views from our beloved Hono Koa and Shearwater, and I am thinking that no one is going to keep me from Maui in February, even if we have to quarantine. It's not a bad place to stay for 14 days. The oceanfront lanai with whales to watch is more than enough entertainment. We can have friends (who live on the island) pick up our groceries. They will be happy to do that for us.

I'll take a cue from @Superchief and post the view from our condo in Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island, where we have spent a lot of time since April. Not a Marriott, but it is right beside the Hilton Head Marriott hotel!

Spent 1 night at Frenchman's Cove in St. Thomas (points) in 2017 after 7 nights at Westin St. John (rental from owner). We like St. John a lot better but the view from our balcony at Frenchman's Cove was the most memorable we ever had. Since it was more of an "afterthought stay" and very brief I don't even know what building it was.

And this is from Ocean Pointe - Sailfish Building 6th floor facing North - taken today! AC trade via Interval into a 1BR.

It's less than 15 miles from our house but had a nice weekend with family here and now DW and I alternate using as a "home office" for a change of scenery.

MKO right now. No one around because of the new orders. Unusually calm seas today because there are no waves.

We had almost the same view where we were there in July. Looks like you took it from the grill area by 4700?

We were in 4700 3rd floor. This one is from balcony.

We were 4700 on the second floor, looking out across to the $30million dollar mansions across the way. Beautiful spot.

I know... even my wife, who's really not interested in any of the ownership aspects other than the stays, said we should buy 2 more weeks so we can spend a whole month there when we retire.

Are the beaches closed again? Can you walk along the beach or is it off limits? That's quite a view there, frank808!

No walking along the paths or sitting anywhere. You can cross green areas and beach to get into the water.

If he pruned those trees, he'd have a better view of the ocean.

Vistana views from a BALCONY - Post your best photos!

All, One of my favorite threads on the Marriott board is when TUGgers post the view from their balcony -- it's a great tool to get a sense for what the view plane is like from different properties and buildings. I do not know if there is a similar thread here on Starwood board, but if not, I...

And if you do, I know what you'll be drinking, right buddy?

(btw, recently I stocked up again on your favorite, and just last weekend uncorked the last bottle, so I've got to get back for more.)

P.S...... headed to Grande Ocean this next week, so I'll have a brand new oceanfront balcony view to share. :cool:

Marriott Mountainside (a summer hidden gem) - room 7545

So much to do from hiking, biking, Olympic Park and short day trips into Wasatch National Park or back into Salt Lake (30 minutes).
