Our family rented this lovely condo for a week while exhibiting at the PGA Golf Show. The condo was spacious and well appointed. Cleanliness was exceptional! Great location overlooking the lake and pool. We enjoyed the hot tub in early evening before dressing for dinner. Hope to return next year!

Owner response:Thank you for your review and kind comments Joan. I am glad the unit suited your needs and I hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future. Best Regards, Bill

Wonderful Family style Condo in Orlando

Guest: score72418 (Fremont Hills, Missouri)
Date of Stay: 04/30/11 Review Submitted: 05/10/11

We loved this condo! We have been coming to Orlando 2 to 3 times a year for the past 5 years and the Vista Cay location is perfect for our family. This condo was wonderful!!! It had everything we could want or need and more. The view of the pool and lake were beautiful and the outdoor furniture was comfortable, we loved just sitting out on the lanai enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night! The beds were just right and all the extra decorations made the condo feel like home! Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay! We will be calling you again in the future!

Owner response:Thank you for your review and very nice comments Dana. I am so glad you liked the unit. I really hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again in the future. Best Regards, Bill

Great Family Vacation in Orlando

Guest: Ponch (Fargo, ND)
Date of Stay: 04/23/11 Review Submitted: 12/17/11

I felt I should put in a note of thanks to Bill for providing us an outstanding place to stay on our vacation in Orlando. Everything is as advertised or better. We had grandparents and grandkids in the unit and it was so spacious and clean that it made the vacation even that much better. We stayed with 8 people and still never felt cramped. Close to everything we wanted to do and literally minutes away from everything we did....Seaworld, Disney, Universal, Shopping, Publix, Gas, Food, you name it. I really can't recommend this unit enough and when we return, all agreed we should stay here. The kids absolutely loved the pool and clubhouse area. It was clean, safe, and easily seen from the porch - which was amazing to sit on after a long day of running around. My wife felt safe enough to run around the small lake and everything about it was easy and well communicated. Bill does a great job of having everything ready to go. Our check in took minutes and check out was a dream as well. He even called us during our stay to make sure things were going as planned. Thanks again, we really enjoyed our stay! Regards, M.A. family

Owner response:Thank you for your review Mike. I am so glad you and your family had a great vacation and that the condo suited your needs. I hope to have the opportunity to host you and your family again at Vista Cay. Wishing the best for you and yours in the coming new year. Best regards, Bill

Amazing Vacation Condo!

Guest: Joseph & Anna (Woodbridge, Ontario)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 08/15/10

We stayed at this condo for 2 weeks and we truly had a wonderful time. The condo was spacious, clean and had all the amenities to make our vacation memorable. Our kids enjoyed having their own bedrooms complete with their own TVs. The full kitchen allowed us to enjoy our breakfast each day and the occasional meal through the 2 weeks. At the end of a long day at the parks, it was really nice to go back to the condo to relax. The pool was really nice and very well maintained. The condo was about 10 miles from Disney and 4 miles from Universal making it a very easy drive to each park. The condo community was beautiful and well taken care of. The employees at the club house were friendly and helpful. The guests were mostly families which made our stay very comfortable. We had absolutely no problems with the booking process and we were very happy with how everything worked out. We have raved about this condo to our family and friends. We will never stay in a hotel again! This was wonderful experience.

Owner response:Thank you for your review Joe and I am glad you had a relaxing vacation. Thank you for raving about the condo and I hope to host you and your family again in the future. Best Regards, Bill

Fabulous condo - best we have stayed in

Guest: Tahjman's Mum (England)
Date of Stay: 04/05/10 Review Submitted: 04/18/10

Thank you to Bill, your communication was excellent and I had no hesitation booking this condo. Everything you promised came true and the condo is gorgeous and beautifully clean. My husband was happy as there were a lot of TV channels, even with UK soccer! The balcony furniture was so comfy and I can report the sun gets to the balcony around 8.30am am and doesn't leave until just before lunch. Ideal for sun lovers who have to wait for the rest of the family to get out of bed. We were only a few steps from the pool and clubhouse and the elevators were fast getting up to the 4th floor. We could park more or less right outside so getting the luggage up and down was fine. There is now a Walgreens onsite which also sells groceries and the Publix is a 10 min at most walk along the lake. There are also a couple of takeaways there too. I can recommend this condo 100% and as experience travellers to Orlando we know what you get for your money and we were happy. Thanks again Bill, we will be back.

No Better Place to Stay in Orlando

Guest: Kim (Oklahoma City)
Date of Stay: 12/31/09 Review Submitted: 07/31/10

We have visited Orlando several times and this beautiful Vista Cay condo is our favorite of accommodations. The condo is just as pictured, only the photos don't do it justice. It looks even better in person. It has been extremely well cared for and is very clean. Check-in was quick and easy, and Bill (the owner) called after we arrived to make sure everything was good. The condo is large enough that a big group (ours was 2 families of 4) can stay together comfortably. Parking is close and convenient. The location of the condo is great - easy access to everything. (We divided our time among the Disney and Universal theme parks.) Publix is very close, but a little pricey. We went to the Super Walmart (about 10 min drive) and stocked up on groceries. Our favorite places for dinner out were T-Rex at Downtown Disney, Bubba Gumps at City Walk, and Maggiano's Little Italy (near the condo). This was my first time to book a condo through an individual, and I could not have dreamed of a better result. Bill was very professional, answered all our questions, handled everything in a timely manner, and you could tell it was important to him that we have a wonderful stay. If the Villa Bella condo is available on your dates of travel, you should book it now. You won't regret it!

This Unit was beautiful and so was Vista Cay. We just had a great time there! Should we return to Orlando we certainly would stay there again.

Owner response:Thank you Gottfried. It was a pleasure to host you and your party. I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Vista Cay and hope you come back soon. Bill

A cut above the rest!

Guest: PUddy (Columbus, OH)
Date of Stay: 09/17/09 Review Submitted: 09/28/09

The condo was wonderful. It was everything pictured on the website and more! It was impeccable and ideally set-up for our group. "Grandpa" and I took 3 of his grandkids, ages 9, 10 and 14 to Orlando to experience the Theme Parks. The condo experience was just as much fun. I admit that I was leary about booking a property if found on-line, but I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Orlando. We had plenty of room and everyone had their "own space", which makes travelingt a much more pleasurable experince. It is also ideally located just off the highway with a quick and easy trip to the airport as well as the theme parks. We recommend the chinese restaurant close to the Publix grocery store. We loved Disney Downtown. What a fun place! It was always wonderful to return "home" at the end of the day and relax or swim. The computers for internet use in the clubhouse were a nice amenity---we were able to check-in on line for our return flight and print out our boarding passes. We appreciate the care and attention you give to your property and are thankful that we could stay in such a lovely home.

The condo itself is superb with everything you could wish for & its location and onsite facilities outstanding.As my husband said the condo surpasses any 5 star hotel accommodation plus you get so much more space....we loved it and truly didn't want to leave. It was great to get to speak to you in person too and rest assured, we will definitely be coming back as soon as possible! Many thanks again.

My family of 4 recently stayed in your condo along with another family of 4. All of us were very comfortable and never felt crowded in any way. All of the accomidations were exactly as described and we could have easily fit another 3-4 people if necessary. The building where this condo is located has best location to pool/clubhouse and also has a great view of the lake. My family would definately stay in this condo again.

Owner response:That you for your kind words Leslie. It was a pleasure hosting you, your family, and your guests. We would be honored to have you back in the future and will make sure you have more towels if your party is that large again. Take care. Bill

We just spent a week at the Vista Cay and enjoyed the condo immensly. It was a beautifully decorated retreat and it could easily sleep 10, although we only had 4 guests, but originally planned for 6. I was a bit skeptical to make a reservation over the internet, but everything was a described on VRBO, and the owner was very helpful to answer our questions. It is a beautiful place, and we would definetly go back. The only negative I can think of us are the hallways between the apartments should be better ventilated as they are warm and sometimes had a bit of a smell in them. Over all it was a great place!

We've just spent 10 wonderful weeks here. We have rented many villas and apartments and this one beats them all! It's in an ideal situation, has high quality furnishings and was immaculately clean on arrival (well done, Millenium Management. Not even my wife could find anything wrong with it and that takes some doing!). If you want to rent a high quality apartment in an ideal situation close to everything in Orlando, then this is the apartment for you. Thanks Bill.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments Adrian. It was a pleasure hosting you and your wife. I hope you come back and stay with us in the future.

We just spent seven days at this condo and loved every minute of it. I looked forward to returning "home" after a long day at Disney. It had all the comforts of home, was beautifully furnished, and felt like home. I am very particular about where my husband and our two young children stay and found this condo to be exceptionally comfortable and exceptionally clean. The owner was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend, without hesitation.

Owner response:It is always a pleasure to have people stay at our condo, but especially nice when it is a fellow New Jerseyan. Thanks Carolee and I hope you come back in the future. Bill.

We have just spent seven wonderful days at this condo and believe me it was a great time for all. I am very particular about where I stay and it must be clean, clean, clean and it was that and more. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a great location for the parks and eating out. You could walk to the Publix for shopping if need be. I would go back in a minute. Thanks

My family & I stayed in this beautiful condominium in April 2008. I am a very particular person when it comes to accomodations for my family. It must be impeccably clean and it certainly met all of my standards and beyond. My children loved it and my husband & I enjoyed everything about it (amenities, pool & clubhouse, location!!!). The owner, Bill, is the most pleasant and helpful person. In fact, we planned this vacation around the availibility of his penthouses. We highly recommend this penthouse and have, to all of our friends & families. I (we) enjoyed it so much, we're already planning our next visit!!!
