Condo was huge and awesome
Had a great stay @ Upendo Orlando. The condo was huge and very comfortable. Everything was great. It was very close to the Orange County Convention Center.
Thanks

The property is amazing. The décor and rooms as a whole is beautiful. It makes you feel at home. This is our second time staying here. Everything around you is no more than 15-20 mins away. And Epic Universe is 5 mins away, which we did attend. This stay was well worth it and I hope to stay again in the future. We had a great time. If you want a really nice place to stay at, I recommend this one.
Host was very informative and quick to respond to any questions. Home was very clean, well decorated, organized and had everything we could ever possibly need. The balcony has a beautiful view in the morning. By far the nicest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.
Great stay with Alvina - we requested an early check-in last minute on Thanksgiving Day and she was quick to respond and accommodate our request. I also spent a lot of time planning to make sure we had every thing we needed for our family of 6 and Alvina had just about everything we needed was already at her place. This is probably the most well-appointed rental I’ve stayed at.
I can not say enough how wonderful this property is! It is evident that the owners love this unit and want their guests to have a wonderful vaction. This unit is sooo cozy, beds are heavenly, couches and patio furniture are comfy, and the decor is beautiful. Everything you could need for your vacation is here, kitchen wear, spices, beach/pool stuff, office space...everything is well thought out! The owners really have thought of it all. If you want to be in Orlando with easy access to highways, shopping, restaraunts without the traffic jams this is the perfect place. Do not hesitate and book this property. You will not be disappointed!
Perfect location, central to lots of great attractions and airport. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with wonderful view of lake from the balcony. Great place to stay.
We stayed here for the volleyball tournament and visited Epic Universe. The location was great, able to walk to the convention center. The condo was spacious and very well stocked. Could see the drone show at SeaWorld from the balcony. Would stay here again.
“Upendo” means love in Swahili, my native language.
Originally from Kenya and now proudly calling Canada home, I've always believed that hospitality is about making people feel genuinely welcome. Over the years, we've had the pleasure of hosting families, couples, friends, and business travelers from around the world.
Our goal has always been simple: to create a place where guests can relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything Orlando has to offer while feeling as comfortable as they would in their own home.
Why they chose this property
Upendo Orlando is much more than an investment - it has become part of our family's story.
My late husband first discovered Vista Cay while attending a business conference in Orlando. When we visited together, we immediately fell in love with the peaceful lake views, spacious layout and unbeatable location. We knew this was the home we wanted to share with others.
After losing him in 2012, this condo became even more meaningful. It reminds me that life's most treasured moments are the time we spend with family and friends. That feeling inspired the name Upendo, which means love in Swahili, and continues to guide the experience we hope every guest enjoys.
