About this property

5000-408 - 3 BED, 2 BATH, POOL AND LAKEVIEW

We believe this is one of the best located condos at Vista Cay; Top floor, both pool and view, located directly by the main pool area at Vista Cay. With three bedrooms, two bathroom, you have all the space you need for a great stay. Why stay in a crowded hotel when you can be in a spacious condo ?

Note: The pool area, and tiki bar, right outside our condo will be closed for refurbishment between September 13th, and likely mid April 2025. (Last update 03/27). Planned reopening date was Mid January. Further delays might happen. The clubhouse with 24/7 front desk, fitness center will remain open.
The Isles pool and bar, which is recently refurbished, is open all time. It's about 500 yards to walk to that pool, a nice stroll along Lake Cay. Alternatively, there is a "golf cart shuttle" from the clubhouse right outside our condo. Or you can take your car, there are lots of parking spaces there.

Vista Cay is very centrally located in Orlando between Universal Blvd and I-Drive. (so not Kissimmee). We have everything within 5 to 15 minutes drive : Disney, Universal, Sea World, Waterparks, the airport, outlet malls and malls and golf courses. Several restaurants at Vista Cay, and even more at I-Drive less than a mile away. Convention or event at Orange County Convention Center? OCCC is just 0.5 Mile away from Vista Cay.

Spacious condo near everything

The condo has a beautiful view and was spacious for our family of five. The condo is part of the HOA but the people at the front desk can help a little. Beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of towels for our week there. We would rent this condo again!

Great location and amenities

This was our base before our 4-day Universal trip. Flights got cheaper a few days before we bought our theme park tickets, so we decided to stay in a condo for 2 nights before checking into a Universal resort. The price and size of the condo made sense.The location was great. We could easily get to Disney Springs for less than 25 Uber ride, and there were many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, including one onsite Walgreens. The condo was spacious, but it looked a bit worn out and dirty in some areas (there were lots of marks on the walls, peeling floor tiles in the bathrooms, and the linens seemed thin and cheap. The kitchen was old and the kitchen mat was stained and gross—it should be replaced). Only a small amount of basic stuff was provided, like laundry detergent, toilet paper, and soap.The owner was very helpful throughout the booking process. We were happy to get a small discount because the pool right outside our condo was still under maintenance and was supposed to be fixed by the time we stayed. However, the condo management offers golf carts to the other pool, which is on the other side of the main street, and they’ll even bring you back to your condo at night, which is a new thing for them. That pool area is really nice, and they have a bar too. The kids loved the heated water and had a great time. It was a good choice for a stay in Orlando, and it’s right next to the new Universal Epic so a good choice for when that park opens in May 2025.

Comfortable stay

Very good location and comfortable apartment. Very clean and the sectional was comfortable. I appreciated that there was a lot to do close to the apartment. I also played golf at Shingle Creek which was right around the corner. I would stay again for sure.

Great location, great place to stay

First off, it was easy communication with the owner and if we needed anything, the management company was always easy to reach. The condo itself was great for our family. We had lots of space for everyone. We were well located for access to the parks. We were less than 15 minutes from Universal and less than 30 minutes from Disney. We had grocery store and restaurants near by (less than 5 minutes). Overall, the condo was great, the area is well located if you’re staying around Orlando visiting parks and amenities around if required. The owner was great to deal with as well. Thanks again.

My husband and I planned a theme park trip for Christmas. We did Disney and the Universal parks. Our stay was amazjng at this location! The condo was exactly as pictured, we had plenty of space to spread out, and it had everything we needed for our Christmas. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Orlando. It is nice when a place feels like a home away from home. Thank you very much!

This location was perfect. Easy access to all major attractions in the area. The pool was under renovations during our stay but the owner notified us of this and we were able to access the pool at the adjacent sister property that had just been renovated. It was perfect and cant wait to see the new pool at this property! Check in was easy and the service agent at the clubhouse was friendly! Would highly recommend!

Another perfect stay!

We stayed in this Condo when we first visited Orlando in 2023 & chose to stay here again in 2024. We were delighted with our stay, the location is so convenient for us. Unfortunately the main pool was closed during our time, however the refurbishment of the other pool/bar area was worth the small walk for. The owner is very communicative and kept us up to date on any developments. The condo is beautifully furnished and catered for our needs during our stay. It’s very relaxing to sit on the balcony at night and admire the view. Vista Cay offers so much with all amenities very close by. We highly recommend this condo and look forward to staying here again for any future Orlando trips!

Wonderful Stay at Vista Cay

Lovely condo! Spacious and well equipped with all the basics. It was a top floor unit, and was very nice to not have people above us. It is right beside the pool and clubhouse, which was fantastic for the kids. Lots of amenities on-site/within walking distance of Vista Cay. Havard was a phenomenal host! Extremely responsive and accommodating, and I really appreciated the quick replies to my questions. Thank you Havard for allowing us to stay in your vacation unit. We will be back!

This was our first holiday to Florida from UK.. we can’t wait to return & hope to use this accommodation again! It was in a great location for the airport and attractions. The condo was everything we wanted and more, it offered so much! It was spacious for a family of 5. The use of the communal areas were fantastic, it was ideal to use the pool and bar after a busy day at the theme parks, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Havard Valderhaug

Host profile image
We are the Valderhaug family from Molde, Norway in Europe. Dad Håvard works as an IT guy daytime. Hobbies are bicycling and cars, especially my -85 Corvette.

Daughters Stine and Guro are co-owners. Stine works as a store manager in a cell phone store. Interested in everything electronic, motorcycles and cars. Only thing that beats a BMW, is the Corvette. Or perhaps a Raptor.

Youngest daughter Guro is still at school, senior high school now. Works as a hanbdall trainer, in a clothing store and a hairdresser. Plays handball, and have plans to be a physiotherapist.

We love to travel, and have been to Orlando 3-4 weeks every year since we bought our first condo in 2007. Many years combined with other places in US.

We bought our first condo together with some colleagues in 2007. In 2009, after realizing how well we enjoyed Vista Cay and Orlando, we bought our own condo. Now we have these three condos in the same building, and have bought out the other owners.

Why they chose this property

We have three great condos, in the building closest to the main pool area and clubhouse. Our two bedroom Condo 5000-307 is located 3rd floor, both pool and lakeview. Three bedroom 5000-403 is located top floor, corner unit, with park and lakeview. Three bedroom Condo 5000-408 is located top floor, corner unit, also both lake and pool view. With several condos in the same building, we have often rented to families travelling together. You get to stay close together, while you all have the privacy of your own condo.

Main pool area has a large regular pool, jacuzzi, and kids pool. All for free use. Clubhouse has a 24/7 reception, fitness center, gift shop, tiki bar, game room, cinema, toilets and showers.

You also have a gigantic Publix supermarket on the resort. And a top rated NYPD Pizza restaurant, Asian and Subway restaurant.

Vista Cay is located on Universal Blvd, just off International Drive. I-Drive is considered as the tourist center in Orlando, with a wide variety of restaurants, bars and attractions.

Vista Cay is located in the middle between all theme parks. For Universal Studio: Exit Vista Cay, take left, drive for 5-10 minutes. Sea World and Aquatica also about 5 minutes drive. The Disney parks, 15 minutes. The Airport, 15 minutes.

The two large outlets at each side of I-Drive, about 10 minutes drive. As is Florida Mall, while Mall at Millenium are about 15 minutes.

What makes this property unique

Ideal for families travelling together : Three great condos in the same building. Compared to renting a larger house : Stay close with your friends, while you have the privacy of your own condo.
