WKORV 2111, 1BR deluxe OV. Surprised how private it feels on the balcony for a ground level. No direct access to common area from the balcony. Can see ocean through foliage if you stand on balcony curb on tiptoes. 5-night Encore package, so a decent location, better than expected.

WKORV OFD 3229 and 3327. Second floor 1BR (3229) had a great view of the trees and filtered view of ocean, not so much oceanfront though, need higher floor to see over the trees. Third floor Studio (3327) was a much more expansive ocean view overlooking the park. Outdoor space was very relaxing and enjoyable sitting on the patio of both units but will try for higher floor next time.

Amazing placement for a SO reservation. I thought we’d be stuck on a lower floor.

You should complain about that one palm tree being in the way and spoiling the esthetics of the view :giggle:

I tried to get Robin to climb the palm and cut down those low lying branches…

Seriously, that Palm is looking much more haggard than years past.

We have been in the B7 HH section on everyone of our WPORV HomeResort stays. They must love me.

When you made the SO reservation, did you select (or have option to select) oceanside?
Yes. We selected Oceanside at reservation- but I thought given it was a spring break week I thought we would get placed on a lower floor.

Happy 4th of July!

Pictures of fireworks on the beach from our balcony don’t show up well, so we’ll have to settle for these.
