The "dreaded parking lot" view units at WKORV are all coded Island View, not Ocean View. They face inland, overlooking the larger WKORV parking lot, Highway 30, and the West Maui Mountain.
There are a few OV units on the ocean side of building 4 that overlook a smaller parking lot, a public park, and the ocean. They are not the best OV units, but they are not "dreaded". I would take them over many of the low floor OV units in buildings 2 or 3.
If you own OV and make your reservation at the twelve month mark, you will be fine.
