Nice Property

Pretty much as advertised. Spacious home, nice resort subdivision. Well appointed. Lots of pantry items and pool toys, chaise lounges, etc. We didn't use the pool table in the garage. The houses on either side were unoccupied during our stay, so can't comment on noise or neighbors, but the subdivision overall was very quiet.

We had a wonderful stay in the property. There were more than enough towels, dishes, utensils, pots and pans. A stool may help some vertically challenged guests. Some of the beds are squeaking and could be an easy fix. Overall, will definitely recommend. Thank you.

Perfect Villa

We had a fantastic vacation in no small part to this property. It was clean, large and easily able to accommodate the 9 of us that visited. The location is perfect, close to amenities and the parks. The resort is quiet and everyone is very polite and respectful. The resort club house is also very clean and something we used more than we have during previous vacations. All in all, 10/10. Thank you.

What a beautiful stay!

Wow what an amazing time we had! The most beautiful home! It was so clean and tidy and spotless when we arrived! They were doing last minute checks as we arrived which just made us feel even better of the care and thought going into our stay! The bedrooms were perfect! The decor was beautiful and the host/owner was brilliant! In constant contact and answered all our questions and even sent us a checking up message to make sure we were having a good time! We always stay at emerald island resort as it’s the perfect spot close to the parks and local restaurants! One of the best villas we have stayed in! Amazing! Made our holiday!

2024 Golf Trip

Property was as advertized. Very comfortable and close to everthing we needed. Some expected amenities such as dish soap, laundry detergent, paper supplies, and trash bags were either missing or in short supply. A few lights were out and the pool was freezing, but clean! You can pay extra for the pool to be heated. Pool area was large and comfortable.

Beautiful Place with Great Owners

This was a great place to stay and owners were super friendly and responsive during the entire process. Only issue was with the property manager - at the end of stay prop mgr claimed "broken/missing" items. There were 2 adults and 11 - 12/13 year old girls and the toliet was "shifted of the base". My husband is a plumber and theres no way a teen girl could've done that.. they would've had to fully kick it with all their strenght and MAYBE it wouldve done that. My thoughts is the prop mgr knew the issues previously and then put it on us to file a claim. (Since we had got the insurance they used that to fix the items) I would suggest to take a video at the beginning and end of each stay with date/time stamps.

Perfect property for our group

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Even though the pool heater was not working, we made use of the pool. We were in it constantly! The setup of this home was perfect for our group of 11. Everyone had their own bedroom to retreat to for downtime. Guests should be aware that bathroom amenities are slim. Bring your own shower toiletries. You will also need to buy toilet paper frequently, depending on your stay. The house has limited bathroom amenities. We were probably told this ahead of time and didn't pay attention. That's on us. When we first arrived, being vacation rental cleaners ourselves, we felt the home could have been cleaner. One guest took her bedding off immediately to check for bed bugs. There weren't any! However, she noticed that there were tears in the mattress protector and stains on the bedding. She immediately changed the bedding and tried to relax. Once we settled into the property, it felt like home. It felt lived in, which when first arriving is a little off-putting, but after settling in, it just feels comfortable. Understand though, in my opinion, you have to have the kind of group that isn't expecting top of the line. Overall, this property was perfect for our budget and our group. I don't know that I would return to it. I might spend a little more next time to have a little bit more amenities. But that's just my personal opinion. I think others in my group would happily return to this property.

Loved it!

Exactly as pictured! The house fit 12 of us perfectly. It was beautiful, clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. It was no more than 20 minutes from each of the Disney parks which was perfect after a long day! Our first house canceled so I was very skeptical about booking another house but the home owners were great and responsive prior to the trip. The property manager was fantastic as well and helped us throughout our stay with questions about the AC and heating system for the pool. Highly recommend this home for large groups/ families. I would love to stay here again… hopefully soon!
