About this apartment rental

This one-of-a-kind property is the best place to stay when visiting Central Florida. Whether in town for a dream family vacation or on a business trip, you will surely enjoy all the activities Orlando has to offer wonderful weather, rest, relaxation and fun year-round. No detail has been overlooked for this great property; come and find out for yourself!
We are thrilled for the new renovations Vista Cay is working on this year. After 18 years our main pool is being renovated but not to worry, guests are more than welcome to join us at the New Isles Pool & Bar, which are now fully open. We realize that this closure of a main resort amenity will be inconvenient for our guests however it is necessary. We plan on keeping the Clubhouse lobby, game room, and fitness center open, however there may be temporary closures as needed for safety. While Verity works on the remodel, the Board is also utilizing this down time to replace the Clubhouse roof. The renovations will start on September 13, 2024 till the end of February, 2025.
The Clubhouse pool will be receiving the following upgrades and renovations:
Resurfacing and removing the leaking infinity edge of the Clubhouse pool.
New deck pavers and design.
Expanding the deck space to the maximum allowed with our existing land and setbacks.
Expanding the size and capacity of the hot tub.
New children’s water play feature.
New, upgraded deck furniture.

We have stayed at the Vista K resort many times. This condo was beautiful. It was very clean and the view from the balcony is awesome, overlooking the pool and the lake. We traveled with my 80 year old father, and he was very impressed with the condo, saying “this feels just like home”.

We were SO pleased with our stay at this location. The property manager was extremely communicative and willing to accommodate a switch in dates for our stay. The condo itself was extremely clean and spacious and had everything we could’ve needed for our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Booked last minute for a stay with my father, brother and our sons....we were extremely lucky to have found what turned out to be the prefect place to stay.
The unit itself was very well appointed. Very classy but comfortable at the same time. Well stocked with the essentials.
The location could not have been better, both within the property and in the area in general. Within the property, it's centrally located and directly next to the pool. Outside, it's very close to the Disney & Universal properties and other local fun (Andretti Karting a family favorite). Dining wise, within a couple mile radius there are TON of great dining options.
All in all, we could not have asked for more.
Thank you!!

This is a wonderful property! So close to pool and so much better than a hotel - plenty of room to spread out and stay for a week. Also very close to Universal, easy 10 minute drive. Property clean and ready for a families with pool toys, towels, games, etc. Publix is adjacent as well and everything you need in the kitchen. This is our second time in this unit, and we’ll be back again!

Great Place To Stay!
This particular unit was great. Everything you need is pretty well included in addition to a goody basket full of snacks, a sweet welcome card, game credits for the arcade starter for tp, paper towels, laundry and dw soap. When looking to book, my goal was to find a unit close to the convention center that would sleep 5, had a pool was priced well. This checked off all of the boxes and so much more. The complex has a well equipped gym, arcade, very nice pool, hot tub, plenty of loungers, umbrellas, tables etc. Fully stocked bar with friendly bartenders staff. Daily pool activities. This felt more like a resort type setting. There is a nice balcony overlooking the pool area and pond with walking trail. I highly recommend

Great Place for a Family
Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. Great pool and game room. Walking distance to food and convenient store. Close to Universal and Discovery Cove. Would definitely go back!

Condo with everything you could want!
We had an absolute perfect vacation staying here. We came in for the AAU volleyball and the location couldn't have been better. We could easily drop to and from the convention center. The condo had everything we needed with many added touches like beach towels, basket with treats, coffee, garbage bags, toilet paper and all the items you usullay have to run out and buy immediately. We didn't have little ones but there was a crib, high chair, pool toys, puzzles, Nintendo, games and books. The patio overlooks the pool so we could check on our kids and the fitness center was within steps to the condo. We could access the stairwell right out the dorr for an easy exit instead of waiting on the elevator. The condominium was large enough for our two families and the added "game" room was perfect for the teenagers. Thanks so much for thinking of everything.

Plenty of room for our whole family. Well appointed with plenty of towels, pool toys, kitchen ware, etc. Easy drive to Universal parks and fun restaurants.
5.0 / 5.0
Outstanding!
The condo is huge!! And it was in the best location. Pool right outside our balcony, parking right outside the door, close to grocery store, bakery, diner, burger place (SO good!), pizza, and all the attractions. There were so many perks and bonuses that we really appreciated. The building is nice and well kept. The pool and pool deck (brick pavers, not concrete!!) were clean. I’m someone who gets grossed out by public pool areas typically (ya know, bandaids, globs of hair, trash, etc) but they kept the place spotless at all times. We drove (only an hour) to the beach several days which was great. Always came back to the pool in the late afternoon. Such a great spot! We’ll be back for sure! Tv in every room for relaxing after a long day in the sun. Lots of pool and beach toys in closets for use. Huge master suite.
The only con to the property was that in the evening we could definitely hear the footsteps upstairs. Maybe they were extra large guests but it was annoying.
Everything else was outstanding!!!

Perfect!
We normally choose to stay off Disney property due to the price for just a standard hotel room being the same as a condo or townhome with more room. This was our first time staying at Vista Cay and we will definitely be back the next time we come to Orlando. We loved the St. Patrick's Day themed welcome basket! We have two daughters (ages 12 and 13) and they were happy to have their own space. Walgreen's and Publix are very close. We're used to having to buy or bring our own paper towels, toilet paper, dishwashing supplies, laundry supplies, etc because most places only give you a small amount to start. ITZ Vacation provided more than enough for our 5 day stay. We didn't utilize the pool very much due to a cold front that moved in, but it looked very enjoyable if it had been warmer. My girls loved the basketball court and were out there shooting whenever it was free and we had downtime. Pretty simple to get in and out with the gate and door codes. A nice, clean place and we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

HUGE condo, great location!!
This place is HUGE and the photos don't do it justice! We were shocked by how large and lovely this unit was and the fridge filled with cold drinks and a welcome basket were the cherry on top! Ana, the property manager, was lovely to work with and ITZ rentals keeps the unit very well stocked and comfortable. The condo is conveniently right above the pool and hot tub and has a wonderful view of the property's lake (the hot tub is open until 11pm and guests can get a little loud, but nothing a pair of ear plugs can't cure!). The condo is within walking distance of Walgreens for last-minute needs and a 2-minute drive from the Publix supermarket. The resort's arcade was a ton of fun for our boys and we really enjoyed our stay here! It was close to everything, but felt well-insulated from all the hustle and bustle of the area. We will definitely stay here when we come back to Orlando!

Beautiful Property
Check-in was so easy and the condo was amazing and had every amenity. The pool and bar were a huge bonus located directly in the property, but the location is close to Iconic Park and had lots to do within a 10 min drive. Host was responsive and gave all the check-in codes days in advance and had property information and a welcome basket inside the condo.

Perfect location! Look no further!
We came for a karate tournament for the week and had downtime to visit magic kingdom, cocoa beach, and discovery cove. Everything is so easy to get to. This condo was in the center of it all but quiet and separate from busy tourist life! We spent as much time as we could at the pool which was huge!! The condo was very spacious and perfect size for three adults and two children (10 and 6 years old). The complementary sponge, laundry pods and goodie basket was so appreciated! Would definitely stay in the future!

Excellent Location and Amenities!
This was our second time staying at this condo within the Vista Cay resort, and our experience was just as good as our first visit. The condo has an excellent third floor balcony view of the pool area, and enough room inside to give everyone their space. It is also conveniently located to many attractions (Universal - 20 mins, Seaworld - 15 mins, Epcot - 15 mins, Kennedy Space Center - 45 minutes, etc). The near by supermarket, drug stores and various restaurants are also very convenient.

Great condo!
Bright, spacious condo with a wonderful location overlooking pool and next to main bldg (great for ride share pick ups and door dash), nice kitchen with all basic utensils/pans and a nice touch of a welcome basket with a few snacks and wine! Highly recommend, would stay again

My family and I recently stayed at this property for our spring break. Everything was wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. One room had a queen bed, one had 2 twins and the master had a king bed. Private HUGE bathroom in the master, and one other separate bathroom for everyone to use. This unit also has a separate sitting room with fold out sofa bed. We were delighted with this as we were traveling with our 3 small children. It was perfect for them to sleep in. The living room couches were very comfortable and plenty of room for us all at the dinner table and breakfast bar. The BEST part about this unit is the location. You can’t get any close to pool and pond views than this corner of units. This unit is on the third floor, so it afforded privacy but at the same time great views! My dad could sit on the balcony and watch the kids play at the pool. Keep in mind that there may be a little pool noise with this unit if you are early to bed but we always sleep with white noise so it wasn’t a problem. There is also a small arcade and bar at the clubhouse/swimming pool area. The pool itself was comfortably warm and very large. Large sets of steps at each end for our children to play at. There’s also a large hot tub and a large shallow “kiddie pool.” The kiddie pool was a little chilly but my 4 year old loved playing in it.The location is really terrific. It is a nice quiet area, but has plenty of restaurants and a nice grocery very close by. Driving to Disney and Universal were quite easy and didn’t take too long. The unit was very clean and has only a few cosmetic issues if you are super conscious of it. Of course, this is expected from a rental unit. The trash was taken from right outside our unit door every day without issue. I had to contact rental company a couple of times with general questions and they were very easy to work with—kind and very helpful. Got right back to me within minutes with answers to my questions. In all, this was the perfect unit for my family vacation and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Best Property at Vista Cay
I rental property every year at Vista cay for a conference and by far this one was the best. Not only was it nicely designed and decorated, the management property behind it made it smooth for check in, the condo was stocked with basics and they even left us a nice welcome gift basket; much appreciated after a long day at airports to get there. We will definitely try to stay at the same place next year.

New Year's in Orlando
We had a very pleasant stay at this resort in Orlando. Location was excellent for all the things we wanted to do. Close to airport, Universal Studios, shopping, restaurants, grocery store. Very well kept grounds and pool area. Loved the walk around the lake. Great location of unit over the pool area and Vista Cay lake. Everything you would need is provided. We would definitely recommend this condo and would love to return sometime.

Wow!
Our family of 5 had a wonderful relaxing stay at this property. The condo was very roomy, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. LOVED the view of the pool from the balcony. We appreciated the well-labeled notes/reminders from mgmt/owner on how to lock door, use tv, etc. If we had any questions, mgmt was very prompt to respond -- great customer service! (Our only complaint, which is not the fault of owner/mgmt, is we were disappointed with the small size of the gym/lack of free weights in the Vista Cay clubhouse. Perhaps one day they'll have a bigger facility. ) The condo was within walking distance to breakfast place we frequented, "The Diner," and if you enjoy going on long walks, there are sidewalks all along Universal Blvd if you wish to explore, etc. If we visit Orlando again, we would definitely stay here again!
