I think this is fairly representative of a fair percentage of the DVC members
wow, if that is true it is miracle they were able to sell OKW before there was anything else to choose from.
I think it would be fair to say that some like the layout of OKW and SSR and some don't but I don't think it is a representative of a fair precentage of the DVC members.
Now if you had said it is fairly representative of the vocal majority of this forum, you would be right on.
For anyone new to SSR, if you do not wish to walk to the main area for milk you might want to stock some in your fridge and/or take the internal bus.
Yes SSR and OKW are laid out in the traditional condo style and that does not appeal to some and does appeal to some. We prefer it, as we like having our car close to us. We prefer to look at landscaping as we go from point A to point B, instead of long hallways, with garbage bags stinking up the place.
So truly there is nothing wrong with either choice, they are just different. I can respect that and am glad they offer both styles.
What I can't agree with is statements without facts that the DVC membership prefers one over the other. I think we could leave those comments out of these discussions.
PS: for anyone going in early August I requested Carousel, so at least one unit will be occupied by someone that wanted to be out in the outerbanks.
Coach 81: the only advise I can give you is I would never let opinions on a Net forum influence me in choosing my personal home and I did not let it influence me in purchasing my DVC home.
That said, I am not one to buy anything sight unseen. Never, ever would I buy something I am going to invest that much money and have as long as I am going to have my DVC without experiencing it myself. So that is my advise, try it for yourself before buying. Only you can decide if you like it or not. We stayed at all the DVC resorts available prior to purchase and we are very happy with our decisions.
