We really appreciated to be in your home during our vacations. It was nice, comfortable and so relaxing after hard days in the parks. Also, the parks are near from here which gave us the opportunity to take advantage of the pool. So, thank you so much for allowing us to be here and we hope to come more times in the future! Our son liked the crib/kids highchair and everything else. Thank you!

Your home was amazing! Thank you so much for allowing us to share it! The kids loved the pool, hot tub & pool table. The parks are very close-we had a hard tome leaving early to get to the parks. My husband & I enjoy the calming decor & relaxed a lot in the hot tub! We left you a new shower head for the awesome master shower! Please enjoy it as much as we did! Looking forward to our next visit in a couple of years!

Wonderful property!

Guest: Annette (Virginia Beach, VA)
Date of Stay: 06/19/11 Review Submitted: 06/30/11

What a great home! The home was beautiful, very well maintained and most importantly...clean! The photos were accurate and the home owner was very easy to work with. The location was great for Disney! And, you are able to use a local route to access all of the Disney attractions without having to get on the interstate. The neighborhood was very peaceful and the employees at the clubhouse were very helpful and informative. The pool was great and it was wonderful being able to come "home" from the parks during the heat of the day to re-charge and go back! We would definately recommend this property to a friend or relative and hope to be able to return soon!

Great location and family loved the decor. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved the spa after a long day at Disney. This is the 3rd time at the house and 1st for my family. My sister just asked me about the house and might be renting it or recommending it to someone in the future!

It was great being so close to the parks and the staff at the clubhouse and gate were friendly and helpful. We'll fefinitely recommend you to all our friends and hope to return.

Although we had an action-packed vacation, we did set aside some time for R&R. And what a perfect place you have for that! Spacious, beautiful, and yes-comfortable beds! Thak you.

We so enjoyed our week's stay at your home. The decor is lovely--you've done a wonderful job of decorating. We spent more time in the family room, but the formal living and dining room was so very pretty--we loved the dark wood. Almost every guest commented on the beds, they were so comfie, we all slept like babies. It has been in the 90's all week. We definately enjoyed the "air" and the jpool after long days at the parks. Disney is the hapiest place on earth!

Beautiful Location

Guest: Arlen (Toronto, Ontario)
Date of Stay: 05/01/10 Review Submitted: 09/15/10

I went in May 2010 with my family to Orlando. It was my first time at Disney and my first experience renting from VRBO. The owner was super nice and it was very easy to arrange the trip. The house was very clean and completely stocked with all the items you need. There was ample room for us - 4 adults and 3 children. There is also is the added bonus of a hot tub as some homes did not have this. The listing and photos accurately reflect the rental's appearance and amenities. The location is quite centrally located, about 5 minutes drive from Disney, very close to a Target, and many restaurants along the strip. There's a wonderful all you can eat lobster place called Angel's which you must go to if you like seafood. Emerald Resort itself had a tiki bar and a pool that we visited. There were also activities that you could participate in. The people on staff and security were all very friendly. I would highly recommend this place. - The Boyce Family

It was great to come on a vacation and have extremely comfortable beds to rest in. We used the hot tub every night - and would have used the pool if it wouldn't have been in the 50's all week. But it was sunny every day and we could see the hot air ballons in the morning and the fire works at night. Thank you for making your home available to us. We really enjoyed the space and the close proximity to the parks. See you again soon. T

We especially enjoyed suing your pool and spa; we went for a dip every day! Thanks for sharing your home with us and we look forward to coming back again. P.S. We found the book "The Unofficial Disney Guide" very useful and quite addictive to read. Would recommend it to future holiday mates staying here!

I just wanted to let you know what a beautiful home you have in Florida. My husband and I and the kids had a wonderful time! My sister-in-law and her two daughters came for a few days and they loved the house as well. My son especially liked the pool (I think at times he enjoyed the pool more than the Parks!). My husband was very impressed with the staff at the Clubhouse. They answered the many questions he had Another time they were extremely helpful was on Sunday. My husband had gone to print our boarding passes (we flew Southwest) and the person at the front desk did that for him. Also, to my surprise, there was the highchair at your home, which I used for my 15 month old daughter! Thank you!

We rented your house last week (beginning May 2) and want to thank you for a wonderful experience. We had a fantastic time and that was in large part due to how comfortable and clean your home is. We had everything we needed for a nice stay. We have rented many homes before, but have never felt more “at home” than in your house. It was more clean than many other homes, condos and hotels where we have stayed and that makes all of the difference to us. We didn’t have time to sign your guest book on the way out, so I wanted to write to tell you how happy we were with everything. Thanks for a wonderful home and we will definitely hope to rent from you the next time we come your way!

The house was absolutley beautiful. It was such a comfort with two younger children to have a house to stay in while seeing Disney World. It was nice to be able to have some sort of a "normal" routine while still being able to explore Walt Disney World and all it has to offer without being in a hotel. We were able to have a great vacation at a fraction of the cost. Thanks for making our first real vacation in 10 years awesome.

Your home had everything we needed--even the use of a hairdryer was a plus for us girls (our UK one did not work very well). As mentioned by many before us, the beds were really comfortable and we all slept well. We would have loved to have stayed longer but hope we will return one day. We would definetly come back to your home and recommend it to friends.

Thank you for making our vacation a "MAGICAL" one. Our girls really love our "new home" and have asked repeatedly if they can live here or when can they come back. Ironically, we haven't even left yet, but they have settled in as if it were their own home. We were a bit nervous this being our first family vacation and all, but they have adjusted quite beautifully. What a compliment to you and your home. Thanks again for sharing your little piece of heaven with us--as well as your knowledge, experience and time. See you back in Chicago!
