About this apartment rental
It gives us great pleasure to invite you to also visit our vacation rental home casapalmerascostarica dot com (vrbo dot com/9696916ha), a country with majestic volcanoes, Pacific & Caribbean beaches, rain forests and exhilarating jungle landscapes.
We recently changed our name to Upendo Orlando to make us easier to find online. But rest assured, the property's ownership and our commitment to hospitality remain the same!
We know that cleanliness matters. For your peace of mind, our home is cleaned with disinfectant and contactless check-in and check-out are available.
We wanted to inform you of an amenity closure, while also updating you on our new pool and bar. The Vista Cay Clubhouse pool and deck area will be closing for major renovations and upgrades from September 2024 and will reopen by the end of January 2025. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the community’s Board of Directors wants to ensure the resort continues to offer excellent service to our guests, now and in the future. The Board would also like to complete this project before the opening of Epic Universe, Universal Studios’ newest theme park, which will be opening right across the street from Vista Cay!
While the Clubhouse pool and hot tub will not be available, Vista Cay just completed construction on it’s 3rd pool as well as a new standalone bar with expanded food options. This new pool area is complete with brand new bathrooms, a fire pit, and children’s splash pad. All of this is in addition to the second pool that already existed in the Isles!

This is our fifth summer at Vista Cay and this condo is definitely a keeper! The building is conveniently located to everything in Orlando…we always come in July for Dance Awards and this is a great area with restaurants, grocery stores, and International Drive. The pool is fabulous here!
This is a higher floor on a corner overlooking the lake and walking path. I MAY have taken a few naps out on the porch. 😉 The owner has provided everything you could ask for with an immaculate kitchen, and completely
stocked cabinets of dishes and cookware. She leaves a great beginning set for the week and it is ALL so organized for washing concerns, with lots of extra sheets, towels and bedding. The condo has plenty of room for having friends over or using the office area for work as well. Pool towels are provided and it’s just a short walk down the path. (The bar there has fabulous drinks!) Highly recommend this listing because the owner goes out of her way to make sure you’re well taken care of and she is very quick to reply to any requests or questions.
We really love this area of Orlando with the wide avenues, palm trees, Icon park, Disney Springs and all parks near by-it is a safe, convenient area with a workout area and a great running path encircling the lake.
Thank you for opening your home to us! We loved it!

This condo was great! Alvina was a great host, very easy to work wi the and responsive to questions. The property is spacious and clean and set up with everything you need to start your stay. Convenient to the convention center (we were there for volleyball), and many restaurants and a Publix so close! Will stay here again next year hopefully!

Excellent home for a family getaway. Convenient location. Well stocked for preparing family meals if you don’t want to eat out (even though we didn’t utilize it). Nice view for a relaxing morning cup of coffee on balcony. Would definitely stay again next time we’re in town.

Excellent all the way around, great location close to the Orange County Convention Center and a lot of restaurants. It was perfect for our 3 adult children and us. Loved the pool and pool bar.
Stay here - great value, excellent location

The pictures don’t do it justice - the condo is sparkling clean, tastefully decorated, and absolutely anything you could need is provided! Everything is labeled, from a stocked spice rack to all the extra sheets packed in containers in the closets. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and serving and cooking ware. Communication with owner was easy and quick. Perfect location for our family’s excursion to Universal. Very quiet - never heard anyone else! Beautiful view of balcony with Universal roller coasters in the distance. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

The condo was better than expected! High ceilings added to the drama of the place. The view from the balcony was beautiful- and the pool was gorgeous and not too busy. Would definitely recommend this stay!

This clean, spacious condo was perfect for our family vacation to Orlando. In person it was exactly as described and pictured. Highlights of the property for us were the walking path around the lake, watching Sea World fireworks from the balcony and the Xbox for the kids during down time. Having Publix (supermarket) and other retailers nearby was also very convenient.

This is by far the best condo that we have stayed at in Vista Cay. Very nicely decorated...feels like a we decorated home. Super clean. Easy check-in and great communication. The kitchen is exceptionally we appointed too. Great corner top floor unit with wonderful views of the lake. Easy access to the pool and hot tubs too. Will look for this unit again on our next visit!!!

This condo had a wonderful view of the lake at Vista Cay. We took advantage of the trail going around the lake. The condo itself was elegantly decorated and had everything we needed to make our meals. The layout was perfect for our family with teenagers. My husband went to the commodity classic farm show at the orange county convention centre. I was able to drop him off and pick him up easily from where we were staying. The resort pool and gym was very much enjoyed by my teenagers. The grocery store was within walking distance and there was even small carts in the closet to use to carry the groceries home in.
Thank you Alvina for being such a great host and letting us stay at your place. We would definately stay here again in the future.

This was our first vacation rental and I must say they set the bar extremely high! There was nothing you could want for here. There were more amenities in this condo than I have at home! Great location, wonderful property, seamless check-in and incredibly comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for more unless they were able to control the weather. Thank you for an amazing first time!!
5.0
Wonderful! They had absolutely everything!!! We were in town for a day at Disney and stayed for a few extra to enjoy the weather. The property was well stocked, clean and had tons of extras! Crock pot, fluffy beach towels, charging block for phones, nightlights for the littles. We didn’t even find the games until the night before we left! I’ve stayed at many VRBO over the years and this was by far the best equipped and comfortable! The beds were awesome and the pillows better than mine at home! Thank you!!!
5.0
We have stayed here multiple times and have always enjoyed the condo. The beds are very comfortable, the unit is clean and has everything we needed. We love the location. The owner is responsive and have always answered our questions. We wanted to stay for a complete week however the condo was rented on the last day therefore instead of finding another condo for the week, we just cut our vacation short by a day. We will be back!

We have been staying at vista cay for the last ten years and on about 15 different units. This was the nicest unit we have stayed in. A extra collection of books and videos. Very comfortable furniture inside and out. We will stay there again.

5 STARS!! Exceeded our expectations in every way. The upscale home was beautifully decorated, spaceous and fully equipped with everything you could think of or hope for. Very clean and well maintained unit and property complex with a resort-like feel. Fabulous pool area, walking paths, and easy access to everything Orlando has to offer. We would also have been happy to just spend all our vacation time at the property! It was beautiful and perfect in every way and the owner has spared no expense to make it very upscale and comfortable. Highly recommend and we will look forward to staying here again in the future.
