2.5 / 5.0
The unit we stayed in was spacious, in excellent condition and was a great alternative to a hotel. We had 3 bedrooms each with a bathroom, an additional bathroom by the kitchen and it was very comfortable. The pool area was gorgeous and it was easy to get in and out of the complex and had a Walgreens, Publix and many dining options within a short walk. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a quieter location still within a short distance of major attractions.

Best stay for family. Clean and spacious rooms.
1.5 / 5.0
Everything was good. The cleaning was basic could've been much better. The master bedroom bed squeaked every move you make. Restless nights from the squeak. The bedroom with twin beds is standard bed only one person can fit too small for regular adults. They almost felled out the bed. Kitchen trash can lid dirty. Dust on fans and kitchen ceiling. Look like the ceiling fan was repaired in master bedroom and ceiling pieces on bed and floor. All of this triggered my family allergies. Master bedroom sink drawer like was broken. The patio door handle was loose. The apartment is large. It just minor cleaning issues that can be corrected. I loved the self check in with informatin and updates. It was very quiet. You can feel the floor shake while other people walking around never encounter a floor shaking while walking around. It was basic and nice.

We stayed at apartment 306 building 4024 however after a day we moved to building 13 4814 apartment 103 due to the first apartment being dirty and requiring upgrading..There were dead flies, dirt which looked like it had been there for days to weeks. The inside of the microwave oven was rusty and along with the kettle, needed replacing. The cooker required a really good clean. Furniture was dated and falling apart.. We contacted Daniel Waldron of Orlando Resorts Rental who offered to move us to an apartment which had become available that day and had recently been remodelled. He had used the apartment for their website photographs. Expedia was aware
The second apartment was very clean and the bathrooms and kitchen had recently been modernised. Although the furniture was a bit worn and the washing machine and dryer case were rusty they were useable and we had a very enjoyable stay. It was well stocked with bedding and towels and Daniel arranged to have the apartment cleaned halfway through our vacation. There was plenty of parking. The apartment was in walking distance of the pool complex, Publix, shops and eateries. We particular enjoyed Beths burger bar and NYPD pizza. Daniel was always available, phoned us back and treated us fairly.I have rated the apartments overall.The first apartment was very poor and below my overall rating and the second was good, above my overall rating and Daniel was very approachable and we felt confident he would sort things out.

I've stayed a vista cay 3 trade shows in a row and this was the worst one I've been in... I was very disappointed by the lack of care to the townhome we rented. There was un-mopped floors and dust everywhere. We were left with one trash bag for the entire unit.... Honestly, I was fooled by the cute decor at first but within 30 minutes I notice sticky floors. The AC would not cool. Low key disappointed.

However my DoorDash order was stolen twice!! I contacted each restaurant to make them aware and followed the instructions on how to dispute with DoorDash!
Not cool for people to ride around property collecting and scouting.

We have stayed at Vista Cay properties for years and this was the first time we had 3 seperate floors and a garage :) This would be a perfect place for two smaller families traveling together. First floor had a huge one bedroom which was nice and private and a full bath with small patio off the back and through a door. Second floor had a giant open concept eat in kitchen which transitioned into the dining room and living room with 2 full sized sofas ( 1/2 bathroom off kitchen) . Third floor had 2 large bedrooms each with their own full sized bathroom with shower/tub. Comfy king bedroom in one bedroom with walk in closets with so much space to hang and organize clothes . Bedroom 2 had two full sized beds with a nice sized closet . Bonus is the garage to park your car in which kept the car out of the hot sun and was nice and cool when we entered the vehicle - the garage had a washer and dryer which worked very well . We are very pleased with this property !

Great Location next to the convention center & Publix. They upgraded our room from 2 bedrooms to 3, which was great. Room cleanliness was just okay.. The master bed was not sturdy at all & the shower pressure wasn’t great. Good size for the price.

Loved this proportion start to finish. Hallways smell a bit in the evening but that’s because everyone pit their trash in the bin the hallway.
That wasn’t a deal breaker! Love this place

Stayed for a week and really enjoyed the property! Would stay again. One broken blind and knob missing on one bedroom dresser but everything else was perfect. My husband and daughter wanted to take the beds home because they were so comfortable and helped their back issues. Staff answered our call after midnight when we hadn't received info for access and sent it immediately. Loved the balcony and peace and quiet each morning as the sun came up. Played pool and arcade at the clubhouse and swam a bit on our down time. Close to grocery store and restaurants and had easy access to Universal Studios parks in 10 min. Safe and gated parking and property. Felt like home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vista Cay! The condo was super spacious, private, and clean! We had our own private patio which was nice! Our family of 7 stayed here very comfortably and we will definitely be staying here again! The pools were very clean and nice too!
4.0 / 5.0
Very nice apartment, for the most part, clean. Disappointed that our socks and feet were dirty from the floor on the first day we got there. Silly things that were not present in the apartment that really should be like, baking sheet (for oven cooked fries) oven mitts, salt and pepper shakers and scissors.

everything was great 😊 only the bed linen had stains on two beds, other than that everything else was perfect. I will definitely go back on my next trip to Orlando.

We love renting with Orlando Resort Rentals at Vista Cay. We’ve stayed in this same unit now multiple times and have enjoyed it. It’s spacious. Every room has a smart tv. Overall would recommend and stay there again.
2.0 / 5.0
Pros: location, location, location! Property was gated and super easy to access our reserved place. Stocked with everything we needed. We went to the off-site pool and it was not busy and not huge but a good size. Unit was roomy and although a bit used definitely fit our needs.
Cons: The vertical blinds were broken with missing blinds so it didn’t feel private. I know that the property allows smoking on the balconies but the smoke was coming into our unit and on one of the days I had a huge headache because the unit smelled so bad. I think if smokers could be kept on the higher levels and non-smokers on lower levels that might fix the issue. I don’t think people with kids would be too happy with it. I would have given a higher rating if not for the smoke issue.

This was probably one of the best places that we’ve stayed in while vacationing in Orlando. We will definitely be staying here again next time!

Cabinets and drawers were damaged, tub had a black ring that couldn’t be removed, knob in bathroom kept falling off but the resort itself and the amenities were great.

We will definitely recommend Vista Cay to anyone wanting to stay in Orlando. It was a huge condo with three bedrooms and four bathrooms. There were three adult couples, and we loved the fact that the family room and kitchen were on the middle level. This meant that anyone who was sleeping was not bothered by television or the kitchen early or late. We loved the pool and the bar. There's a DJ on weekends and it was just so much fun! We also loved how the area wasn't very busy and we could walk to restaurants and stores. Excellent price as well. Loved it!!

I come to work at the Orange County Convention Center each year and this is an awesome location. I like to have the opportunity to use the amenities if possible.
Not impressed with kitchen dishes, pots and pans or silverware. Super cheap. Wish you included basic salt and pepper and basic oil, butter etc. seems so wasteful to buy new all the time.

Great place to stay when you have volleyball tournament at the convention center!

Great apartment in a very good location. Everything worked well (though I didn’t use the dishwasher or washing machine). Great pool, adequate gym, good hospitality at the club house, easy parking. Great for families or a group of friends.
