Vista Cay Resort

Beautiful spacious clean 3 bedroom condo with a full kitchen and all the perks as a rental while in town for a convention was pretty damn terrific!
While I was here in Orlando a few months back my company worked out some rooms for us here at Vista Cay. When I walked into my room I was expecting the norm and was blown away to find that it was a spectacular huge condo unit.
Large comfy bed, huge master bathroom, great living space with cable tv and large flat screens, laundry room, balcony area with nice views, and full kitchen. There is a Publix supermarket and a Walgreens close by so stocking up on foods for breakfast and snacks for night time was a great plus. The fridge kept my beers nice and cold. I really never had to leave this place other than going back and forth to the convention center.
Even better was the free wifi that came with the space so I was always connected. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Considering I was here for a work trip I kinda felt as if I was on vacation.
Just wish I had more time to use the large pool off the clubhouse check in building. There’s a tiki bar there too.

I would absolutely love to stay here again! Our 2.5-day stay was not long enough!
Premium location — Vista Cay is located within just a few miles of Universal Studios, the Harry Potter Attraction, Sea World and Discovery Cove.
Yes, that means lots and lots of families. Tons, really. The family-​friendly factor is very high with this one.
At the clubhouse, which is where you check in, you will find the pool, poolside bar, fitness center and spa. You can see Lake Cay from this location. Gorgeous! Perfect for sunset views. There is also a game room here — numerous different arcades. And there’s also a pool table.
We went with the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo. Perfect for our sizable group of women. Outside of check-​in and visiting the clubhouse for pool time, it did not feel like a hotel stay. It felt like we lived there!
The room (read: apartment) was open and spacious. In addition to a fully functional kitchen with all the amenities, it had a washer and dryer on site, a lovely balcony overlooking the water and easy access to the pool. I thought it was pretty cool that one group was using the outdoor grills near one of the patios for a dinner and picnic.
Only dings:
Check out is late — 4 p.m., with a 10 a.m. check-​out. Boo!
Also, you don’t have regular room service. Run out of pool towels? Fella at the front told me we were SOL — we had to wash the towels instead of receiving new ones. That was a bummer considering we were, at that moment, ready for pool time and didn’t want to have to wait an hour for towels to be cleaned.
And an cleaning Fee at $ 80 for all stays of four nights or less? That makes no sense.
Other that that, this is a wonderful spot — especially for large groups. AND there is also a Publix within walking distance!

Great complex by Millinium. Well maintained, attention to detail. Great place for an extended stay in Orlando. Gym and pool facilities, all the 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom condos have at least 2 bathrooms and spacious floor plans. Comfortable 2 person full size kitchen, compact laundry room and nice small balcony. Close to Sea World, the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), Universal Orlando and easy driving to DisneyWorld & Epcot Center. I always stay here for any conventions, who normally charter Mears to do transportation from Vista Cay to the OCCC. Great job guys, see you next year!

Love the place! Will return next year for sure. We rented 3 room premium condo suite.

This place was great. The condo was big, well appointed, and super clean. It was very stripped down in terms of kitchen essentials, but we made do. Just make sure to get things like salt and condiments. Everything else you needed was there… including beach towels, wifi, and air conditioning :)
I would give it five stars but the club house pool doesn’t let you bring your own drinks (there is a bar there), so you have to sneak them in inside water bottles and the arcade games were not all working. There’s plenty of seating by the pools and a little shop with postcards. The desk will mail them for you too, which is great. There’s also a Walgreens really close.
We stayed for 8 days during the week of a wedding at Rosen Shingle Creek. It was a great way to save some money and get away from the wedding madness. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for accommodations.

A group of 5 friends and I stayed in a townhouse at Vista Cay in February when in Orlando visiting a friend. Overall the experience was excellent. Because of a problem with an air conditioning unit in the original premium suite we booked, they moved us to a townhouse and have us a complimentary night stay. The manager we dealt with, Nestor, was INCREDIBLY helpful. He was so apologetic, depite it being out of his control, went above and beyond to accommodate us and made sure that we were satisfied with the result. The pool was great, the townhouse was great, the price was great, and the location was perfect for our needs — very close to Disney and also a lot of local restaurants and spots to walk around. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect. Large clean room. So glad we found it. Was by far the most reasonable we found online. Nice running path around a small lake. Large grocery store within walking distance. Exercise room could use more equipment would be the only complaint.

Great location! Close to the convention center. Easy check out. Very responsive staff. We notice that they didn’t have any oven mitts, we called and they brought us a brand new pair within less than 30 minutes. Will stay again.

Rooms were amazing. 3 flat screen TV’s, 2 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, great location with Publix just down the road. My family stayed there for 6 nights, went to Miami, then came back for another 9 nights.
The reason I gave Vista Cay only 3 stars is because during the first stay my mom had bought more toilet paper, dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent for their first stay. I was a bit confused as to why she did this but didn’t think too much of it at the time. However, upon check in the second time I asked the front desk for a couple more toilet rolls etc. as they had run out the first time and they said «we only provide what is given to you in the room and if you run out of anything, you will need to provide them for yourself.» I could not believe this. So do you give the same amount of toilet paper, dishwashing liquid etc. to family that is staying there for 2 nights and to a family that is staying 7 or more nights?! Just doesn’t make sense. Was very disappointed with this. Expected a lot more for such a nice resort.

Location. Location. Location.
I live in Orlando and when my parents come to stay up here they like to rent their own house for easy coming + going as well as for their dogs. I have carpet but Vista Cay has tiled/​wood floor options. This was a big plus! On top of that, they had a private garage with additional parking and a gated entry with a secured code to enter the vacation rental home. Everything regarding amenities and even toiletries came included. The first night, the fridge was frozen completely but upon their complaint, maintenance came and repaired it. Everything from them setting up the rental to paying and even getting an extension on time for checkout was seamless. Only reason I knocked off a star was for the three stories. You have to basically climb throw the narrow stairs to get from one side to the other. It’s quite obnoxious. All in all, great stay for them + they will consider it again in the near future.

This place is cozy & homey. The place is great, but 3 stories is just way too much. The pool is great. The area is safe. It even has a little shopping center and Walgreens within walking distance, so if you ever need anything, you could just step outside and get it. Not too far from Universal, Disney World, & the water park either. The staff is accommodating as well.
When we first arrived, the code to unlock the door wasn’t working, so we had to call someone up to help us. I’m glad they came within minutes because it was way too muggy and hot outside.
But I swear this place is haunted. Or at least the home we stayed in.
One night while my boyfriend and I were laying in bed, we had the door slightly open, just enough to see the hallway… A few minutes later, the door creaked open slowly and we both swore we saw something run past the hallway.
The next morning, we told my parents and it just got even more spine tingling because they told us they had experienced something similar the previous night. lol & the garage is just plain creepy. I’m glad I wasn’t the one doing laundry because I didn’t want to step foot in there after I saw it.
Despite the scary events that took place during our stay, I’m pretty sure this place would have deserved 4 stars lol.

This was such a nice place to stay! Lots of room, great pool with poolside bar, great location close to all parks! This is much better than being cooped up in a small hotel room. I highly recommend this place if you’re planing on staying a few days.

This place (regardless of what management company you book through) is terrible. Some of my coworkers and I rented this for a conference we were in town for. Firstly, they didn’t even spring for a $.10 coffee filter for their guests. When I called and asked about why they couldn’t provide that, a VERY RUDE, argumentative representative told me he would have to ask his manager to provide filters (even though the coffee maker and cups were provided). Secondly, there was no soap in the kitchen, at all. We had to buy hand soap just so we could wash our hands while we prepared food (gross). Then day 4 came, we checked out ran their dishwasher, did 2 loads of laundry and then left. We had an evening flight and headed to the pool but because we had checked out, we didn’t have a towel (which no pool towels were in our room). We politely asked the front dress for a towel and were told (even though we shared our story) they weren’t going to let us use a towel because we haven’t booked through Vista Cay. We decided we were pretty over this property and decided we would just go to a real hotel who treats their guest like guests and not trash.
Vista Cay, step it up, you’re just terrible.

SKIP THE DISNEY RESORTS AND HEAD STRAIGHT TO THIS PLACE!!! We stumbled across this place online and decided to take our chances for our family vacation. We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom townhouse with a driveway and garage. The town home was perfect — for a family of six — there was an abundance of room and it was nice having a large kitchen to cook breakfasts in, rather than having to eat on the go. The property was also really nice — large pool with a bar and friendly staff.
Can’t wait to come back here next year!

My friend and I rented a three bedroom, three and a half bath townhouse for spring break. The house was lovely. The kitchen was large, there were flat screen TV’s in every room, and we could use our Apple TV vie the Wi-​Fi in the house. The bathrooms were large, and the house has a small balcony on the second floor and a small patio on the first. The house even had a landline for our use. The only strange thing was that the most comfortable bed was on the first floor, while the two suites (both on the third floor) and less comfortable, rolling beds. I wound up staying on the first floor, so I didn’t mind. I couldn’t give them five stars because the lock on our front door was broken, causing us to have to leave through the garage every time we went out, and they didn’t allow pets. If I’m renting a house, I should be able to bring my dog. Other than that, great place. I’d definitely stay there again.

When I’m staying more than a night in Orlando in a group of three or more I usually try to find a condo here. It’s centrally located to most of the places I go and easy enough to get in and out of. Booking a condo can be a little confusing for some since it’s not like a hotel, and there are a few ways to book; either through finding an owner that has a unit available through sites like VRBO or Homeaway or by booking with the main company Millennium which is what I wound up doing on my most recent stay.
Because many of the units are maintained and owned by private individuals cleanliness can vary a little, the corporate owned unit I stayed in however was immaculate and well taken care of.
There’s a Walgreens within the complex and a Publix right next door, perfect for those who want to save a little money and make use of the full kitchen which usually has all the pots, pans, and utensils you will need. Keep in mind that there usually aren’t any salt and spices so keep that in mind when picking up stuff to cook.
To anyone looking for a place to stay with multiple people, even for relatively short visits, I recommend giving Vista Cay a try over getting multiple hotel rooms. It saves money and it’s more fun when everyone stays together. Even if you planned on staying in one hotel room, it’s still not much more than a moderately priced hotel.
The only reason why I don’t give it a 5 star rating is because pricing does vary from owner to owner pretty wildly, especially with those who like to charge extra fees beyond the typical cleaning fee; like a «security fee» or «resort fee», it should be room, tax, and cleaning fee (which is usually be waived for longer stays)
Like I said, it can be a little confusing but it’s well worth the effort in my opinion.

Oh my! This place turned out way better than I had imagined. I stayed here with my beau and his family for a few days on a fun Orlando vacation. We shared a 3 bedroom condo with a massive living area, kitchen, bathrooms in every bedroom, and everything you could want for a long-​ish stay! They really have thought of everything — kitchen was stocked with all the amenities, there was a laundry room downstairs and plenty of closet space. Honestly, I wish we had stayed longer.
There’s a great pool, hot tub and arcade area over by the main office, as well as a gym. Love that the complex is just minutes away from everything — the parks, the convention center, restaurants. There’s a Publix within walking distance so you can stock up on all your favorite stuff while you stay!
There was a bit of an ant situation outside the front door when we arrived, but one call to the office had them spraying our unit down in no-​time. Can’t say enough good things about Vista Cay; definitely check it out for your next stay in Orlando.

Vista Cay is a decent complex off the beaten track in Orlando… close to the Convention Center and about 20 minutes away from Disney World.
The other reviews give a really good idea of the amenities and perks to staying… so let me tell you, I knocked off one star mostly for this: NO RECYCLING. I was mortified they didn’t even have aluminum recycling at the club house. Disgraceful. There are hundreds of units here, some are full-​time residential. Again I say, Disgraceful.
So here’s my tip: TAKE YOUR RECYCLING TO THE PUBLIX GROCERY a few blocks away. They have one bin there.
Second tip: CHECK VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner web site) for units… they will be cheaper than the units on Priceline, Expedia, etc… even with the house cleaning fee. I wish I’d figured out before I booked because if you have a week or more stay, the savings are significant. Additionally, you will know exactly which unit you are getting and can get one close to the pool… not guaranteed otherwise.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to enjoy any of the fun amenities here because I was in town for work. But I did very much like our 3 bedroom condo. The kitchen was fully equipped and we even had a full sized washer and dryer.
There was a great view of the lake and we could even see Universal Studios a little ways away. If you’re into working out there’s a trail around the lake — just look out for snakes (and possibly gators)! There is a Walgreens on the complex and a Publix across the street which makes shopping very convenient. Oh and did I mention free wi-​fi?
I have to agree with Randy C though and I wish the beds had better linens. I don’t think they were creepy per se, but the covers were quite thin. The only other negative was that our unit felt a bit stuffy and humid even though it was only March!

Nice to have a full three bedroom condo to stay at with a full living room and kitchen. Everything was in good shape. Only downsides were the bedding in the unit we had. Comforter was creepy and did not look clean and the pillows like rocks. We went to Walmart the next day to buy new bedding.
The place is professionally run. Plenty of parking and a good location for tourists or those using the convention center.
