It definitely does not ensure a ocean view. We had a 3 bedroom at Surfwatch last year. It was in a building at the back with a view of the pond/lagoon.
Even the building closest to the Ocean is not ocean front. There is a large estuary with a boardwalk over it in between the buildings and the beach. If you are at the back buildings, and heading to the beach with a chair and cooler, it is a bit of a walk. The golf cart shuttle service will take you right to the beachfront.
Notwithstanding our so so view and longer walk, I commend the place to you. We will definitely return.
