Great pictures! They bring back lots of memories for us. For many years we spent the winters in unit 4142. I'm guessing you're in 4120? Enjoy your reunion! Looks like you'll get a good rain storm tomorrow, then some nice Santa Ana's for a couple days.

We were very pleased to get 6th floor Napili Villas on a 1BR OF Destination Points reservation for our stay at Maui Ocean Club this week. It's a great view for a DP reservation. We came in on Sunday after a week at HGVC KIng's Land on the Big Island and have been doing some whale watching, and yesterday we also rented an airplane and flew around Maui for about an hour and a half (I'm a pilot). The weather has been gorgeous.

We also enjoyed a Trilogy sunset cruise and dinner at Kimo's with @TXTortoise and his wife.

This is our first time staying in the Lahaina/Napili Villas (we own in the original MOC section), and we love the Villas!

Great photos from the Maple building in Myrtle Beach, SC.
The Maple and The Pine are not ocean front buildings.

Do DP reservations typically receive lesser views than owners?

Do DP reservations typically receive lesser views than owners?

Based on my understanding of room assignment priorities at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club (based on posts by others here on TUG), MOC week owners get top priority for room assignments within their room size and view category. Points reservations come after that, but before Interval International trades. I'm not sure what the tie breakers might be within that broader hierarchy. It is possible that since we are also MOC weeks owners, plus Presidential level, that somehow that helped us snag a better room assignment even though we were booking with points for last month's trip.

The short answer is yes. There is a fair amount of variability between resorts, not so much in the order but some add a few additional tweaks and some are more rigid than others. You'll get the view reserved but owners of weeks using their weeks will get priority. For most resorts a points owner will get the same priority as a Marriott exchanger but now that II doesn't transmit that info through to the resort. One of the treats might include owners at that resort not using their week would move up a little. Concurrent or consecutive weeks will be at the top of their group assuming the same view type and unit type. I have extensive experience on this subject at Grande Ocean with 12-15 units (2BR) including a mix of views and a mix of reservation methods (exchange, points, owned). The buildings are 5 stories and during the time we go (peak summer), we've never had above a 3rd floor and I believe all but one were first or second floor. This is c/w their provided information. As long as their reasonable and consistent (always have been), I'm satisfied.
