What’s the difference between an ocean view and ocean side unit?

Ocean view will have a view of the ocean. It may be obstructed, depending on what floor the room is on. Ocean Side is going to be in a building closest to the ocean, but may not have an ocean view.

Oceanside always has an ocean view, ocean view has a limited view

An Ocean side view is typically in the Lighthouse tower and above a certain floor number. This is the tower that sits closest to the Ocean. You will be assured of getting a sunset or sunrise view depending on the side of the building you are staying at.

oceanside is in the building closest to the ocean.

Where at the ocean front rooms as opposed to ocean view rooms? People keep responding with Ocean side rooms but I do not see that as an option only ocean front versus ocean view.

Oceanside I will never ever ever ever ever book again. It’s floors 2 and up and floor 2 is the first floor of rooms at surf club on the side of bldg and people are walking by your damn room. No view of ocean only loud pool screaming children! It was THE worst villa I’ve ever had at any Marriott property ever and I’m an owner and was staying 2 weeks and 2nd week they moved me to THAT from an ocean view. Ocean view is floors 4 and up. Unless you have small children, or don’t like privacy and don’t mind having absolutely zero view plus keeping the shades drawn all day and night don’t book an ocean side! I even put in a request for higher floor villa in person and went over everyday before check in from the ocean to surf club to verify my request.
