Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Villas North, 8501 (OF one bedroom side). Our first stay at North and I thought this was a great villa location with a less desirable timestamp. It was very convenient to see if the pools were crowded and close to everything.

WKORVN Suite 8512. I am delighted with this room placement on an SO exchange.

Same lanai -- different days; different angles

@DeniseM - any chance of making the balcony view thread a sticky? It's a bit hard to find unless folks have posted recently. It's be nice if the Marriott one were as well; that's how it's set up for HGVC. Thanks!

WKORVN 1BR IV 6329. Not a great 'ocean' view but quite happy with it as it was an II trade of our WLR 1BR (44K SO) for this (81K SO). Could have traded even better for a 2BR at Nanea (148.1K SO) but didn't want to risk getting a view of the parking structure.

Last photo isn't from the villa but just what the front lawn looks like in January after a deluge of rain. The whole boardwalk from WKORN to Nanea was swimmable.

This is at the Westin Kauai - Nov 2023. We got lucky and they gave us this beautiful first floor 1BR. This picture is taken from our lanai. Will definitely go back. Kauai is very peaceful and serene.

Just edited my post to specify "oceanfront deluxe." @LJT , your view looks like oceanfront center?
