Why Kids Love It
Why should kids have all the fun in Orlando? Adults deserve their own retreat to come home to at the end of the day! That’s why we kept the “Disney stuff” to a minimum inside Upendo Orlando, instead choosing elegant-yet-comfortable furnishings, earth tones, and unique art from Africa (my home). You can always tell the kids it’s inspired by The Lion King.
Area Information
Vista Cay Resort and Upendo Orlando Condo are perfectly positioned for exploring. All of the parks are under 10 miles away, and you can sample world-class shopping and restaurants within minutes. Walk to the award-winning Shingle Creek Golf Club, just a mile away from the condo. When sun and sand call to you, the closest beach, Cocoa Beach is a little over an hour away—the perfect day trip distance. And, if you have to trade your bathing suit for “business casual,” the Orange County Convention Center is so close, you can walk there in less than a half-hour.
Our beautiful Monterey condo is in the heart of all the action. You can literally walk next door to Walgreens (pharmacy/convenience store); Publix (grocery store); quick eating places, yoga and liquor store
- take a short drive of 10 minutes, via I-4, to Walt Disney World, Downtown Disney and all of the attractions along US 192. SeaWorld and Universal Studios are less than 10 minutes away; or
- you can choose to head on west to Tampa/St. Petersburg (just over an hour’s drive) to take in the fantastic white sandy beaches or Busch Gardens
- if you want to explore the Atlantic coast, head east on I-4 and visit Daytona and NASCAR or take in Titusville and the Kennedy Space Center (an hour’s drive)
- and don't forget the great shopping deals at Premium Outlets, Florida Mall and Mall of Millenia
There is always something to see and do.

Owner Info

Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: “Upendo” means “Love” in Swahili, my native language as a Kenyan-born immigrant who moved first to Washington D.C., and then to Toronto, Canada. Over the last decade, Upendo Orlando has witnessed love in all its forms: multi-generational families and blended families like ours, friends of all ages, couples ranging from newlyweds to fifty-year marriages.
And, of course, there’s the love for Orlando itself, a one-of-a-kind place where even the most skeptical people can feel like kids again. We hope that even our business travelers feel the love here after a long day of meetings!
Why this property? Truthfully, I’ve never loved a place more. The lake views from the balcony at Upendo Orlando are pure magic. One glance at at the shimmering, gentle water you can’t help but be entirely present in the moment. After losing my first husband to brain cancer in 2012, I realized just how important those “present moments” are. I’ve since remarried, and am working to bring structure and harmony to our blended family.
