Grande Ocean Hilton Head this past week, August 23-30..... Sand Castle oceanfront building, 3rd floor (5 floors in all).
We actually requested the 3rd floor 2 months ago--- we like it because the beach SAND is visible from our sofa and kitchen,
more so than 4th or 5th floor. We feel like we can reach out and touch the sand. Very enjoyable---- (it'll be our little secret!)
From 4th/5th floor, you have to walk to glass doors and look downwards to see the beach sand and the surf.

Our granddaughter Ivy (first grandchild, 17 months old).
She officially knows and speaks around 75-80 words....we have the list, but it changes almost daily.
Her first beach trip was back in early June, but when she woke up her first morning here this past week (arrived after dark the previous night),
she immediate pointed and blurted out "Ocean.....beach!!!" She was very excited.
Below, I was on my laptop, didn't realize she was wanting to get to me, so she sneaked around the chair!!!
(Have to confess, she loves her Granddaddy, and she adores the beach and all that goes with it.)

Just found this one - not exactly an MVC resort yet, but may be one in the future. This is Harborside at Atlantis (Vistana) - building 5 from 2BR unit balcony.

View from Harborside Resort (Paradise Island) across to New Providence Island (Nassau).

We are leaving tomorrow. Short stay. Had a few extra (rented) points to burn and we live only 2.5 hours away.

View from Marriott Timber Lodge in South Lake Tahoe. I requested this side even though I knew it could be noisy. I am usually noise sensitive but things shut down early. I enjoyed watching the skiers having fun down below and the gondola come and go.

Our first time here - extremely nice resort both inside unit and pool area. Nice to see the sunset over the water in FL!

We were just saying today we’d have stayed longer if we knew when we booked this that Palm Beach County would still be learning remotely in September.

Enjoy your stay! If we had more time would have been nice to meet in person!
