Our oceanfront reservation ...
was made using DC points (yes, we succumbed and bought some as filler)...
We'd certainly BETTER get oceanfront since we spent more points to get it
Seriously though, we've had pretty good luck with the DC program thus far; loved our stay at Marco Island (oceanfront also, on floor just below the penthouse) using DC Bonus points this past August...
And thanks (someone) for the tip re the Resort database; we checked and saw the map that answered my question regarding which rooms were oceanfront. Eastertime 2006 (or was it 2007) we stayed there in Scallop in what looked to us like an oceanfront villa, but we were then told it was oceanside (front, corner). It will be interesting to see the resort now 5 or 6 years later during the same time of year...
FYI, we stayed back then on a trade of our Cypress Harbour sport week, which we are still getting great trades with (3 bedrrom at Marbella April 2011 and Newport Coast Villas August 2012)...
We're excited about all our 2012 vaction plans - looking forward to what will come in 2013!
