Orlando Vacation Homes » International Drive Resort Area » Vista Cay Resort

Vista Cay Resort is a gated lakeside resort of 2- and 3-bedroom vacation condos, plus some 3-bedroom townhomes – holiday homes, as UK buyers call them – off Universal Blvd in Orlando, about 8 miles from Walt Disney World, where short-term rentals (STR) are allowed. It sits next to the Orange County Convention Center and about a mile from both SeaWorld and Epic Universe, so units can draw convention travelers as well as theme-park families.

Yes. Vista Cay is approved for short-term rentals, so owners can rent by the night or week through the on-site rental program, a 3rd-party manager, or on their own through Airbnb and Vrbo. A short-term rental, or STR, is a home rented to vacationers rather than on a long-term lease. Many Orlando-area neighborhoods do not allow it; Vista Cay does.
Being beside the Orange County Convention Center gives Vista Cay a second source of guests beyond theme-park vacations, which can help fill midweek and off-season dates.
Up to 6 months a year. If the on-site rental program manages your unit, it may set a lower limit. Contact us for current terms. See our list of resorts by maximum owner usage to compare.
Vista Cay has on-site property management with an in-house rental program, and owners may also use a 3rd-party manager or self-manage. Fees and policies differ by manager and can change, so ask about current terms before choosing.
Most homes at Vista Cay are condos in mid-rise buildings with elevators. They have 2 or 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, from about 1,110 to 2,100 sq ft, and each has a private balcony. The resort also has 3-bedroom townhomes of about 1,740 sq ft with a small patio and a private garage. Every unit has a full kitchen, a combined living and dining area and a washer and dryer. Condos are offered in different finish and view levels, which affects what they rent for.
The main clubhouse and pool have a fitness center, hot tub, pool bar and gift shop, and a second, quieter pool sits in the Cay Commons section. A walking trail circles the lake, and shops and restaurants are just outside the gates.
Amenity access, hours and fees are set by the resort and can change. Contact us to confirm current terms before you buy.
