So if you buy a ts from this property, ocean front does not mean ocean view or facing the beach?

Be careful here...oceanfront building villas are not all Ocean facing...the buildings wrap around the side with 2 or 3 "stacks" facing the sides and not ocean facing. Oceanfront simply means the the building is closest to the beach.

OCEAN FRONT: "Ocean Front" means "Ocean Front". You will literally have a front row seat to the ocean and you will be facing the beach and the ocean. No units will be between you and the beach.

Interestingly, while you are facing the beach, if you are on the lower two floors, depending upon your unit, you may not have a great view of the beach and ocean due to the vegetation growing in the protected dune area between the units and the beach. On the upper floors of most buildings, you will have pretty much unobstructed panoramic views. We were in a third floor Ocean Front unit earlier this month. We had a partially obstructed (due to vegetation) panoramic view. We could see to the North about half way to Coligny, and we could see Tybee Island to the South on the clearly days.

OCEAN VIEW: "Ocean View" simply means you can see the ocean from your unit, but it doesn't mean it's a large or direct view. Some "Ocean View" units have spectacular views.

Even though the ocean front view may not be directly facing the ocean, you will be in the front of the resort with some type of ocean view, esp with the higher units. There is a difference in the 2 types of views, even if Ocean view is not directly full facing the ocean.

Correct, Ocean Front is truly Ocean Front. There are very few units that are Ocean Front and they are in high demand.
