The one bed premium units are all over as they are the larger side of the two bedroom. There are only a few dedicated one bed premium units and they are, I believe, ocean view in buildings two and three near building one.

Premium and Deluxe indicate the floor plan - not the view.
Premium = standard layout.
Deluxe = slightly larger corner unit.
Oceanfront views include the word "oceanfront" in the unit description.
Example:
Villa Type: Oceanfront Deluxe 1 Bedroom Premium Villa
Villa Type: Oceanfront 1 Bedroom Premium Villa
***Look at your confirmation: If you made a reservation with Staroptions - you probably have a floating view, to be assigned by the front desk at check-in. That means you can (theoretically) get ANY view, but you are most likely to get an Island View.
You can request a bldg. and a high or low floor, but you can't request "ocean front."
In the North Phase - I'd request bldg. 5 or 8.
In the original (south) phase - I'd request bldg. 2 or 3.
You should log onto your Acct, find your confirmation, and use the feature there to add the request:
Drop down menu: Available actions > Special Requests > click OTHER > in the box type your special request > submit.
It does no good to request anything more specific than a building and high or low floor - because it will be rejected.
At check-in, you can request again.

There are 1Bd premium/deluxe OF villas, but they are not standalone and also need more SOs than non-OF 1Bd villas. But they can be had using SOs, based on availability. They will have lower location priority than OF Owners.
In B2 and B3 the standalone 1Bd villas are at each end of the building on the sides. The ones next to OFD studios, xxx24 and xxx25, and I think the others are xxx00 and xxx01.
If you are exchanging in with SOs for a 1Bd - you can be assigned any 1Bd. Only 1Bd owners are assured their 1Bd villa (during HomeResort period at 8-12 months out) based on availability.

David - you are correct. I have owned a 1 br standalone for years and have been assigned units 24-25 next to the OFD studios and once I was in unit 1
