Thank you for this! I'll take a good look at the map this weekend based on your recommendations and adjust our check in!There are definitely rooms without nice views. I stayed in a room on the ground floor of bldg. 44 that had a view of the a/c unit and some shrubs. I also stayed in a room along Miller's Road that didn't have a particularly good view. It was either 21 or 22.
You mentioned that you'd requested a high floor, but if you can get a ground floor room in some of the buildings that overlook the golf course, those can have quite nice views. Sadly, I can't recall the room numbers that I've had good views from. Sorry.
Looking at a map, I'd suggest 62, 16, 17, 18, 23-26, 31-17. I'd avoid the buildings that back up to Bonnet Creek Parkway, such as 38-41 and the aforementioned 21 or 22).

The "near the hospitality house" is a separate booking category for the units, so there is not a big reason to ask for it, as it will not be that close. You will be farther away than those that have booked that category, which is pretty much exclusive to DVC members, as it books quickly when the booking window opens.
Hey @Zipitidoda I know you were not asking me but I am gonna chime in anyway. OKW is a beautiful property with very large condos. We stayed in building 46 on Peninsular Road with a view of the canal where the boats went from OKW to DTD (or now DS). It was near a quiet pool and bus stop. The view was wonderful and we would have breakfast on the balcony every morning. I highly recommend it. The main pool is big with lots of activities. We, as usual, spent more time there than in the parks. Buses make several stops, but we never found them to be slow or a very long wait, but we did not use them much.
Thank you so much! is there a building that is best to request if wanting to be close to the big pool? Or is any building not to horrible of a walk to the pool?
Were you in a 1 or 2 bedroom villa?
2 bedroom!
Well, there are some locations that are a pretty long walk to the main pool. Here is a map that might help you decide which buildings you might like to request. Buildings 11-14 and 23-26 and 62 are fairly close to the Hospitality House and main pool. Others are close to a quiet pool.@epcotisbest you are plethora of knowledge!!
