Really Top Class
We have just returned from a two-week break at Jo’s 4th floor penthouse at Vista Cay. We had a great time at the property, which was really top class. It was as described by a number of previous reviewers very clean, spacious and comfortable. I would fully agree with these descriptions and all the other positive things that have been said. The on-site management company Millennium are excellent and respond quickly.
Location
The property is located at the Destination Pky end of the Vista Cay resort and is less than a five minute walk (by the back gate) to the Publix Supermarket, which is very convenient. You can actually see the Publix building from the property. It is about a 3-4 minute walk from the clubhouse where the gymnasium, shop and large swimming pool are located. One of the great advantages of the property is its convenient location relative to each of these. It is worth pointing out that the Vista Cay resort is over a half a mile long and stretches from Publix right up to Tradeshow Boulevard so you could end up being quite a long distance from the supermarket and clubhouse if you stay in some of the more remote properties. The other point, which is relevant regardless of where you stay in Vista Cay, is that the best way to access the clubhouse on arrival is by Lake Cay Place, which is one of the roads off Universal Boulevard. You do not need to go through any gates to get to the clubhouse. For ease of reference Wallgreens is located at the entrance to Lake Cay Place, which helps locate the entrance easily.
Activities/Shopping
Jo’s property is ideally located for activities/shopping malls and there are plenty within 15 – 20 minutes driving time. The location is about as central as you can get.
Premium Outlets (Vineland Avenue) – 7 miles
Premium Outlets (International Drive) – 6 miles
Florida Mall – 5 ½ miles
Mall of Millenia – 7 ½ miles
Sea World – 3 miles
Magic Kingdom – 14 miles
Animal Kingdom – 14 miles
Universal – 4 miles
Downtown Disney- 8 miles
The location is about as central as you can get. However as with the vast majority of properties in Orlando, a car is a must or else you better have deep pockets to pay for taxis which are not cheap!
While you can walk to International Drive, it takes about 20 minutes and there is no direct route. The best way is via the Hilton Hotel. Walking to the Convention Centre will take in the region of 20-25 minutes.
In summary, I would be very happy to recommend this property.
