This property was the perfect proximity to all the universal parks! It was also very spacious!If I were the property owners I would have a convo with whoever cleans the property, because that left quite a bit to be desired. We also tried to vacuum while we were there and it was so clogged with hair, that it wouldn’t pick anything up. And there were two hair dryers, 1 had what I’m assuming is a European plug and the other would turn on but not get hot. Otherwise, we felt the place was great for our family, and I appreciated the laundry and dish washer supplies.
Lots of space for a family of 6. Close to universal parks and places to eat.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication
The unit itself was spacious and the vista Cay property was well maintained. However, upon arrival our towels and bed linens were wet on the beds. After connecting with the company, there was no resolution until the next day. We had to dry everything before we could go to bed after traveling 12 hours to get there. The carpet had stains and the kitchen cabinets stuck. we would not choose Villa Direct again.

It was great for location and a good size for our family. Couple of observations, carpet is extremely stained and the the washer is broken. Otherwise, we had a great time!
Hi Kara
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - it's appreciated. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you'll be booking with us again soon!
When we arrived, we found the place to be very large and nice. However, we soon found that the wifi information sent did not work. We left a message for the host and received a response Saturday morning. My husband needed to use a hot spot to do the payroll Friday night and my daughter needed to do the same to approve time cards. That was disappointing.Also, we discovered that there were no sheets for the pull out bed in the study. Given that we had made reservations for 7 people, sheets are a necessary part of the reservation. There were 2 fitted twin sheets in the closet (we needed double sheets. We made out the best we could with the two too small sheets for the first night.This was also very disappointing.
Nice neighborhood, close to everything in Orlando. We cooked every day and the kitchen seemed to have everything we needed. Comfy, clean spot.

Great location. Close to all attractions.
Loved the facilities and how quiet they were. Only downside is that we didn't have keys to the pool area but out contact at the welcome center was very helpful in getting them for us. Would stay there again the next time we come down.

Hi Charley - thanks for the review. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Location was perfect for Disney and the Convention center (Universal as well) The size of the place was perfect for our family of 5 and I found it to be a great value. The dishwasher was unfortunately broken and the place could use some small updates (televisions, carpet, etc.) Would consider staying again based on location and value.
The condo was as described. Comfortable and large for our family of four. The pictures and previous reviews were accurate.
