Westin Kierland - not really a view from a balcony, but a beautiful view from the terrace of Acacia # 9 Par 5.

View from the living room/dining room. Would have been nice if the window's exterior were washed.

Pretty decent views for an II exchange.

I was right below you 1023/24. My view was of a palm tree may 9-15. Funny when they tried to sell me a timeshare I said they should give prospective buyers better views. Lol.

Very nice view, unfortunately, I don't get that from my Pool Villa.

Yeah I don't get this good of a view from 3210 either. Just wish we could open a window or have a screen door on the patio door so we could listen to the sounds. Other than that

I am a Lagunamar owner and just looking at these photos makes me want to go back immediately. As anyone can see, it is so beautiful there.

Having grown up near Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, I guess I take the beach for granted. Much prefer the mountains, although like beaches too.. Now a mountain/beach combination is another story altogether...such as Hawaii and St. John.

I have so many from our B34 villa at WSJ in the VGV phase - hard to know what to post as view changes so often - samples:

Beautiful David!

Thanks - these were 3 from last two weeks alone. (Weeks 23-24).
Our villa was voted Best View in VGV phase - and only 25 steps from pool/BBQ/patio with same view. ;)

Rare St John rainbow

This looks so idyllic from higher up. How far is it walking to the beach and ocean? Thanks for sharing, David.

To GCB (Westin beach) - 10min walk? short Iguana (shuttle ride). We do not really go to the beach at GCB - so many more great beaches

To ocean? Depends...
By 4WD - it is 17 mins to Trunk Bay, 23 mins to Maho/Francis. 40 mins to Salt Pond.

Thank you, David. I would love to visit there but cannot convince my husband yet. He likes HI that much so will not do any exchanges. Even a cruise would be OK but same problem still.

Do they drive on the left side too? I wouldn't like to try that at my age but there should be excursions to the best snorkeling spots, I guess. A cruise with a few snorkeling trips would be best for us but I don't want to go alone or sleep with a stranger. No way!
