What is difference between Oceanfront and Oceanview?

[Free4Life11]

I am looking up room rates for a hotel but I can't figure out what the difference is. I'm sure someone on here knows. Basically, I want to be able to get up in the morning and have a good view of the ocean.

I always though oceanFRONT means the hotel is right on the beach, step outside, and you are there. OceanVIEW means, you can see the ocean from the hotel. It may be 3 miles down the road, but you can see it. LOL

Oceanfront-means that you will be right in front of the ocean and what you want.
Oceanview means that it could be a partial view so it could be a corner room that you can see some of the ocean.

I believe that it means with ocean front you are facing the ocean. With ocean view, you may not be facing directly at the ocean but you can still see it. I hope that this is correct information!!!!

Oceanfront room - means your view of the ocean is obscured by something trees/buildings etc

Oceanview room means you can actually see it from your room.

even if you have to stand on a chair and gaze over the buildings you cans see it so it is oceanview, lol! I have read here that water view at WDW resorts could mean looking at a birdpool, lol.

Oceanfront, you're directly facing the ocean. Ocean view means that you may get to see a tiny speck of ocean if you look really hard. Seriously, it depends on the location of the hotel and how close to the ocean it is.

Nothing beats an oceanfront view though.

Thanks for your help! The oceanfront rooms are only $8 more so I'll probably go with that. Have only been to the ocean once before and I always said if I am going to go again I'm staying right on the ocean!

I am honestly hoping this hotel is for real!

We went to Daytona Beach once and this one hotel look BEAUTIFUL online. Awesome deal, looked great. Got there and it was a dump! But this one is in Myrtle Beach and it has excellent reviews! And so far, I haven't see any age requirements. I'll be 21, but I've seen a lot of the hotels in area say no under 25 allowed! Grr....

I know with renting a house or condo Ocean front means on the beach, Ocean view only means you can see the Ocean. Ocean Block is across the street from the beach.
