Marriott - View from the Balcony

Every now and then I like to go back through the "View from the Balcony" posts, starting at the most recent post and going backwards.
Even though I've seen most of them many times now, the views are still amazing.
I've decided that when I grow up, I want to be like Frank808......just sayin'.
 
Home for the next 3 weeks.

Hey @frank808 we’ll be there 8/26 for a week and a day, though I’m confident our view will not be that nice. Maybe we can get together for another TUG meetup. Any days/times you’re available? Would love to catch up with you again.

You never know about view. The previous 3 weeks I got 4th floor using my deeded weeks. These 3 weeks are exchanges and I got a higher floor. Just prepare for the worst and be glad if you are assigned a better villa. This applies to deeded owner weeks also.

Glad to meet up and catch up with you and any tuggers. I just prefer weekdays in the evenings 7pm or later.

See you then.

Someone's got to sacrifice

Well not all weeks here have a nice view. But I am definitely grateful we get to stay here so often.

I am staying in GF next June. Looks like you got one of the desirable end units. What floor are you on?
 
Does anyone have views from Westin St John? I have seen views from the hillside units. Obviously there is no view from the 3BR pool units. I have never seen views from the other buildings. I am interested in whether they have ocean views since they are closer to the ocean and beach.

Have you tried looking through the thread that is in the Vistana forum?
tugbbs.com

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...

No complaints but not sure the SW end units are most desirable to us. That pool can get quite noisy and the master BR is right on top of it. Not really an issue after dark though.

Nothing to write home about this Ocean Pointe OS view (Sailfish bdg) but I couldn't help taking out the camera when that Margaritaville cruise ship sailed right by!

:cry:
Heck, I'd write home about it!
Compared to the view I'm looking at right now (my office desk), I'd swap you in about half a nanosecond.
I would even sleep on the back seat of one of those vehicles in the parking lot.
Enjoy.
 
One more Ocean Pointe Sailfish building view - this time facing North. It’s pretty much a parking lot view but a high floor compensates.
