Nice Place to Stay
For what we would have paid for in a hotel, the condo we had was HUGE!!! We did find out that the water dispenser in the refrigerator is leaking from the inside. Other than that, the location was quiet and perfect for our needs. The pool being closed was a bummer

Very spacious and clean. Communication was great. Kitchen tools were a bit sparse- had to buy a cutting board as well as a few other things. We left them there for future use.

We regularly stay at the Vista Cay Resort. The property is fantastic and you can’t beat the location. This specific condo is a great size and fit our needs. It does need some general upkeep though as the carpets are worn and stained and the en-suite bathroom toilet is physically loose. Also, the TV in the master bedroom is far too small for the size of the room.

More than enough room for a family of 6 with in-laws
The room was plenty big. It had enough beds for our 4 kids and even the grandparents. Another bathroom would have been nice, but the two: full-suite 5piece was enough for everyone to make do. Even the water heater held enough for everyone to take a hot shower after being in the pool for hours on end. The room has been well used, as shown by the small bits of character marks on the furniture and bedding, along with the kitchen accessories like pots and pans and utensils…but all in all, it had just about everything we need to function except being furnished with food. We even used the pool toys in the closet, which the kids loved. In the end, its more like a 4.5+ Star, because of the little details that we had to ensure we didn’t break further.

Conveniently located property
This condo is in a great location for access to Orange County Convention Center and only about 20-25 minutes from Disney properties. It is very spacious and parking was easy. We loved the large sectional couch! However, he condo itself could use some updating. The bedding has older style blankets and comforters that felt uncomfortable, the towels are small and rough, and the beds are firm. The room with the the twin beds needs sturdier frames and new box springs. Those beds are very squeaky. Updating to a Keurig coffee pot would also be a nice addition! Overall, we'd say it was decent but likely would not select this one again unless it had some updating done to it.

Spacious and Beautiful
There were 8 of us. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Mom, Dad, and 3 teens. It was the perfect launching zone for hitting the SeaWorld parks. There was enough space that we could each have our own space or we could all congregate and have dinner or watch the hockey game. We even watched the live stream of mass at our home parish in St. Louis. One note, the kitchen doesn't have any cooking supplies other than salt and pepper. I'm sure that's for safety, but you might want to bring some cooking spray or mustard with you.
