Welcome to Pirate & Princess Palace!
Pirate and Princess Palace is a Disney-themed vacation home with swimming pool, spa, and games room, all within an easy 5 minute drive to Disney World! Our 4 bedroom, 3 bath villa is located in the guard-gated resort community of Emerald Island, with club house and an abundance of amenities.
Every room in the Pirate & Princess Palace is decorated with Disney magic in mind. The kids will love the Disney Princess and Pirates of the Caribbean themed bedrooms, and you'll unwind in the exotic decor of the Aladdin-themed bedroom, or the romantic Aristocats bedroom. The two master bedrooms both have king size, high-quality pillow top mattresses, and en-suite baths. They are situated on opposite sides of the house for privacy, which makes it ideal for two families or grandparents, to make it an extra special family vacation. The children share a third bathroom, and is decorated in the ever-popular Toy Story theme. And just for fun, there are several "Hidden Mickey's" (Mickey head icons) throughout the home. Can your family find them all?
Enjoy breakfast in the fully equipped Mickey kitchen, pack lunch for the day, and you'll still be in the parks faster than if you had to eat out. The kitchen dinette seats 5, and the main dining area seats 6 comfortably. Out on the covered lanai you'll find a gas barbecue and a patio set that seats 6, for those looking to spend as much time as possible enjoying Florida's beautiful warm weather by dining poolside.
After the parks, come home for a refreshing dip in the private heated pool, or soak up some sunshine on the loungers. Finish off your day by watching one of the many movies on the 42” plasma TV, or get your gaming fix playing the family-friendly Nintendo Wii. Challenge the kids to some table tennis, air hockey, a game of pool, or a Disney-themed board game. Or head over to the clubhouse and watch the kids play with new friends in the pool while you sip a cool margarita at the poolside Tiki bar, perhaps making a few friendly acquaintances of your own. It's hard to run out of things to do!
*Home is baby-friendly. We provide a pack 'n play crib, highchair, booster seat, strollers (one single, one double), step stool, and plastic tableware at no extra charge.
Payment also accepted in Canadian Dollars

Why the Owner Chose Emerald Island Resort
We chose Emerald Island Resort because it makes you feel like you're on a luxury holiday. The grounds are beautiful, the clubhouse is full of activities, and free concierge service is at your disposal. It's the closest private resort to Disney World - 3 miles. Plus, we can relax knowing there's 24-hour guard gated security.
The Unique Benefits at this House
It was a challenge finding a home with everything we wanted, but I think we exceeded even our own expectations. We wanted a pool with spa and lanai that had full sun almost all day, no rear neighbors, and as close to Disney as possible. What's truly unique is that both master suites have king-size beds, and even the adult bedrooms are themed, not just the kids' rooms. One is "Aladdin", which is Moroccan-themed, and the other is "Aristocats", and has an early 20th century Paris feel to it. We loved decorating these rooms. We loved decorating the kids' rooms, as well, but we know the vacation is for the whole family, not just the kids! Also, for extra fun, and as far we know no one else has this, but we put "Hidden Mickeys" throughout the home. It may be in a picture, on a window, or where you'd least expect. We tried our best to give our guests great vacation value for their dollar. Our guests tell us our villa is most like "home" than any other vacation rental they've stayed in. We're happy our guests feel that way!
EPCOT consists of Future World and World Showcase, each with different hours of operation.
Parking lot and Transportation and Ticket area. You must park and then take the monorail or ferry boat to the park entrance.
MCO Airport (Orlando International) You must take a tram to your gate.
SFB Airport (Orlando-Sanford International Airport) Smaller airport servicing the Orlando area, but is easier to get around, and car rental prices are often cheaper than MCO (Orlando) airport. Adds about 30 min. driving to the Disney area, and one extra toll.
Parking lot is for both parks, they are within walking distance of each other.
Aquatica is close by, it's operated by Busch Gardens as well, but a separate ticket.

We are excited to share our love of Disney World by decorating our home with our friends and guests in mind. Feel free to call with any questions, we're happy to help you decide where to spend your next vacation at Disney!

My family, which included 4 adults and 3 children, stayed at this property between December 19-27, 2011. The house had plenty of room for all of us and was perfectly clean. It was decorated for the holidays so it made us feel like we were not missing the traditional Christmas moments like having a tree. We used the kitchen on numerous occasions, the kids and I enjoyed the pool, and it was close to all parks and shopping. The kids also spent a lot of time in the game room playing pool and ping pong. And the adults got to releax in the den or outside. I also enjoyed talking to and working with Shelley. She answered any questions I had and was a delight. The trip itself as in finding the house, checking in, and checking out were like clockwork. I had never rented a house for a family vacation and now I will consider doing it every time the family takes a vacation together. It was a wonderful experience.

This home was perfect for our vacation. It is a beautiful home with more extras than you could dream of. Very clean and cozy while close to area attractions. I spent many hours looking at rental properties but will not waste my time next time we are headed to Orlando because there is nothing more we could have wanted - definitely plan to return. Awesome pool, game room, games, movies, Wii, washer & dryer, I could go on and on! Pool towels, pool toys and strollers there at the house made our packing much easier. The themed rooms were just an added bonus. Thank you for being so easy to work with and opening your home to us! Our daughter felt like a true princess in her room. We have stayed in many rentals properties over the years and I can honestly say there is not one thing I did not like!!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Pirate & Princess Palace. This home is beautifully decorated and maintained, absolutely clean and extremely comfortable. The home owner has provided for every need and is always easy to contact. We traveled as a multi-generational group (grandparents, parents, 2 kids) and everyone had their own space. We "surprised" our princess (age 7) and pirate (age 4) with their first look at the bedrooms when we arrived...and they loved them! Having 2 master suites was great for us. We used the pool alot and did not eat one meal indoors! It is a short and easy drive to the Disney Parks and only 1 1/2 hours to Clearwater Beach! All 6 of us highly recommend this home!!!!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Pirate & Princess Palace. We have a 7 year old son and a daughter who turned 4 while we were away and the home was perfect for us. We loved taking a break from the parks and coming home to play in the pool, eat a good meal, take a rest or play in the game room. The home is literally minutes from Animal Kingdom! The home is well-maintained and clean. The attention to detail in the decorating and providing helpful items for guests was remarkable.The owner is very organized and answered all of our questions very quickly. She made sure we could reach her at any time with questions re: the home once we arrived. We spent 8 days visiting the Disney Parks which was the focus for our visit. We enjoyed dinner witht he princesses at Cinderella's castle and lunch at T Rex in downtown Disney. I recommend bringing some Purex All-in-One laundry detergent sheets as they are easy to pack (and though they request that your begin the first load of laundry before departing, there was no detergent in the home.) Also, plan to purchase paper towels/napkins. We shopped at Super Target on the day of our arrival, as recommended by the owner , and that worked out wonderfully. We focused on easy and quick to prepare meals so we could spend more time enjoying our vacation. Have a great time!

We loved the house! My four year old would like us to create her own princess bedroom and my older kids loved the pirate room. We had so much fun in the game room and the pool. We'll definitely rent the pirate and princess home on our next trip to Orlando! Thanks for a beautifully decorated home with all of the amenities.

Our best ever holiday in Orlando!

Review Submitted: 07/21/10
Having visited Orlando/Disney five times now, and each time trying villas, hotel suites or disney hotels/accommodation I can honestly say that this holiday was the best ever!! This was due to how VERY comfortable the villa was. The beds were super comfy and better than my own at at home (which is saying something!) and the villa was full of great touches like beach towels, strollers, great laundry facilities, games, DVD's, a plentiful supply of towels - the list is long and I genuinely could not think of anything else I would add! Shelley was great to deal with leading up to, during and after our stay and I am pleased to say that the holiday lived up to our high expectations in every way - and then some! Our daughter is six and loved the pool and the princess bedroom - providing us many opportunities to relax when not at the parks. Also worthy of mention is how great the location is - just off the 192 and really close to all main Disney Parks, Supermarket and Restaurants. The resort also felt really safe and while many villas claim to be gated communities this one really was, every visitor had to be prebooked and every visitor to site was greeted by security guard and proof of stay demonstrated before being allowed in. Thanks Shelley for a fabulous holiday - we will be back!!

We stayed here during our kids' spring break and LOVED the house! The kids each had their own bedroom with a TV & DVD, a game room to hang out, a nicely heated pool, and best of all, comfortable beds to sleep in after a long day at the parks. The house is very well maintained and immaculately clean. Shelley (owner) was a pleasure to deal with and responded to all our questions immediately. Location of the home is perfect. It was nice having the security of a gated community so close to the parks and shopping. We will be returning on our next visit to Orlando!

The Perfect Disney Destination Vacation House

I would recommend this property to any family vacationing in Orlando - especially, if you are going to Disney World! It is a theme house with such wonderful attention to detail - the owners have clearly put a lot of time, energy, and love into creating a great destination vacation house. As for the basics - the house was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable, there was good water pressure in the shower, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals and bake treats. The pictures and descriptions are accurate - check out their website gallery to pick out your room... Princess, Pirate, Aladdin, or Aristocats. The owners were great and took the time answer all my detailed questions about the house, the locations, the attractions, and even gave me tips on priceline for car rental and outlets for shopping. My family had a great vacation at the Pirate & Princess Palace. It was the best rental house that we have ever stayed in!
