56, Ocean Dunes, which is the one "oceanvista" view building. We're in a 2BR on the 4th floor. The sun is back today and it looks beautiful out there but it's a bit cooler; will need gloves and scarf when we go walking the beach in a few minutes. :)

I just bought a SurfWatch week on Ebay. I will be able to stay in either building 51 or 55. From the resort map, it looks like there is a far off oceanview. Just wondering if you saw those buildings and do they have some kind of partial oceanview.

Thanks

51 is Ocean Marsh, 55 is Tide Mark - those are the two oceanside buildings. We've stayed in Tide Mark several times on the 4th or 5th floor and once guests of ours stayed in a 3rd floor unit. This pic was taken from the 3BR unit on either the 4th or 5th floor, on the end of Tide Mark furthest from the pool:

Others on TUG have said that you can get a similar view from the higher floors on Ocean Marsh but I haven't stayed there yet so don't have any pics.

For reference, the oceanvista building sits just to the left of that clump of trees at the end of the boardwalk, and then another boardwalk leads out to the pool/grill/bar pavilion (which you can see in the first group of pics) and the beach beyond. Also, each of the five SurfWatch buildings are 5-stories tall and have 3BR units on either ends of each floor with 2BR units between. The oceanvista and oceanside buildings have fewer 2BR units than the gardenside buildings but I'm not sure of the total in any of them.
