Private Home For Less Than A Hotel!

Families and friends will love our four bedroom luxury home just three miles from Disney in the gated Emerald Island Resort. The moment you see our resort you will know that you are going to have the best vacation that you have ever had. As soon as you enter our home, your children will fall in love with the themed decor and you will feel like you belong there.

It is a family home, so for us to be considerate of the community and other vacationers we do not allow parties.

Our home is an easy walk, less than one block, to the resort clubhouse. The clubhouse offers basketball, tennis, a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, bar, game room and pool. More importantly, our front door is less than three miles from the front gate of Disney!

Our pool is one of the most private ones in Emerald Island. We back up to some of the protected areas so the main thing that you see as you enjoy yourself in the pool and on the deck is nature. The house to one side of us has a hedge along their screen room that adds to our privacy. The pool deck and pool are perfect for relaxing after a day at the parks or for just enjoying a day home.

We have themed rooms that your children will love. We love Nintendo. My wife and I played the OG Donkey Kong in arcades while dating. (Yes, we are that old). We bought every console up to the current switch. So, it made perfect sense when my son wanted a Mario Theme. Your kids will feel like they are in Mario Land when they go to bed in the single top, or double bottom, bunk.

My daughter chose the theme for the next room, which also has a double/single bunk. She loves Pooh. In our home, no joking, I am called Tigger and my wife Pooh. Our coffee cups, Christmas stocking and keychains follow those characters, Pooh and Tigger. How can we not have a 100 Acre Wood room?

One of my older sons wanted the beach theme of the next Master. He lived near the beach and, even though they now live just a few miles from this home, they love the beach and go often. You will feel like you are at there, except with air conditioning. The queen bed and private bath maintain this theme.

My wife chose the King Master theme. For our 30th anniversary we went to Europe. She fell in love with it and we have been blessed to go back again since then. She wanted the room to 'feel' like the Italian Coast was just outside the window. The soft colors are soothing and calming...which mothers of many children often need. :)

Having two master suites makes this perfect for two families sharing a vacation and/or for older children. We can comfortably sleep 10.

We set up two living room, or conversation areas, so multiple storytelling, laughing, game playing and memory making events can take place at the same time. Our house has full wi-fi throughout, a television in every bedroom, and two more televisions in the house--one in the living room and one more in the entertainment room. Our refreshing swimming pool is surrounded by comfortable patio furniture.

We have a real 6 person hot tub that gets hot. Not like the 'spas' that are attached to pools that are only warm. Come home from the parks, hop in the hot tub, enjoy the stars and let your stress fad away.

Our location is fantastic for everything that the Orlando area has to offer. We are minutes from Disney. We are actually the closest gated community to WDW that is no on Disney property. It is almost like being on Disney property without being locked into a total Disney holiday. If you feel like going to Universal or Sea World, hop in your car and you can be there in about 20 minutes.

If you want to enjoy a night eating out instead of cooking in our beautiful kitchen, we are literally minutes away from every ethnic food you can imagine. Our location puts you within miles of any fast food, medium or expensive restaurants. We were there for a few months in 2016, so we decided to eat at a different place every 'date night'. For our entire marriage we have gone out at least one night a week on a date. In four months, we never ate at the same place twice and never had to drive more than 20 minutes. The location is so fantastic.

If you are a shopper, there are outlet malls, strip malls and normal shopping malls all an easy drive away.

We love the beach. My son and daughter in law live in Clearwater Beach so when we are in the States we visit them often. Just take I-4 west and you are there in a little over an hour, enjoying the calm waves and white sands of what was voted Florida's Number One Beach in 2016. If you like more adventure, then head to Port Canaveral to the east. It is slightly closer and offers surfing and wind-surfing. We are close to Universal and Sea World, and easy drive to water parks and tons of shopping opportunities.

Restaurants incude staples such as Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Buffalo Wild Wings, TGI Fridays, Chuy's Mexican, Texas Roadhouse, Carraba's, Macaroni Grill, Cracker Barrel, and Sweet Tomatoes.

Less than 10 miles to Premium Outlet Mall.

Honestly there is too much to list. My wife and I did this off of the top of our heads. You are in the center of it all.

Let me close by saying that we are not your typical vacation home owners. We purchased this home because we love making memories with our children here. We are evangelical missionaries who do not live in the USA, and we wanted to have a magical place for our kids when we get to visit there. We are committed to your loving the time that you stay here, and will do what we can to make this the absolute best vacation that you ever have. Our goal is to have the people who stay with us become our friends and repeat guests.

We love Emerald Island!

The property had everything we needed for a family vacation at Emerald Island. Plenty of open spaces and rooms for our family. The house is clean and taken care of. The pool and hot tub are great even in January (if you heat the pool too!) the owner is very communicative and even added the pool heat mid stay when we changed our mind! These suggestions don’t change our 5star rating but would be nice to haves: small selection of games to play, even a deck of cards would be nice. (Maybe there was and I just didn’t find any) One of the remotes was down a battery but we swapped with the “living room remote” since we didn’t use that tv.

Clean, close to parks and the pool is amazing.

We had a wonderful vacation at this vacation home. It is literally 3 minutes from the park using back roads and we avoided all of the traffic. We also were able to cook some meals at home and swimming in our own, quiet, pool was just awesome. We will surely recommend for friends and family and plan to return again.

Great, comfortable stay

This property was as advertised. We had great communication with the owner/host. My wife and I enjoyed the house very much. We enjoyed the pool after a long days watching our daughter play at the AAU National Volleyball Tournament. While it was more house than what we needed, since the team stayed together at another house in Emerald Island Resort, we really enjoyed the space and amenities.

Would highly recommend!

This was our first time staying off the Disney property in Orlando so we weren’t sure exactly what to expect. We quickly found that we had had more space than we were used to and looked forward to relaxing in our own pool/hot-tub after a long day at the parks. We couldn’t have had a better experience here and would highly recommend. Joe made our experience easy and we felt at home right when we walked in the door!

Lovely place and great location

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was so conveniently located. The pool was the highlight for our 6and 12 year olds. They lived in it and so wonderful to have it attached to the house. Had two situations come up that ended up being totally our fault (misreading instructions and knocking the WiFi off accidentally) but the property manager immediately picked up the phone and even came over right away. Nice to to if something did go wrong(it didn’t) someone was there to take care of it.

THE BEST HOUSE IN EMERALD ISLAND RESORT!

My Family LOVE this house! The house is well kept . My Boys love the huge flat screen TV's in front of the pool table. The house decor was gorgeous! Kudos to the decorator!!! We have been renting houses in Emerald island every summer and this is by far the BEST house we've ever stayed at. The house was super clean and well maintained. And YES we did watch the FIREWORKS from the house, what a view!! A big applause to the owners Denise and Joe.. they have been wonderful and their communication and ensuring that we are having a great time was TOP NOTCH! See you next summer :)

Unsurpassed Customer Service

We came here with my parents and our two children. During the entire process, Denise was stellar. We had never used an internet site to rent a home before, so we were a little worried. Her constant communication and quick, personal replies eased our minds. She also gave us tips on going to the parks, talked us into going to Typhoon Lagoon which my children actually liked more than the theme parks, and as a surprise sent us $25 to buy the kids a treat. The home was exactly as described. The only surprise was how much we loved our stay. If we can return, we will stay here again.

Great basic house

Communication with the property owner and management company went well. The house was nice and clean. Only thing we encountered was we arrived early to get our parking pass and drove by house just to get a feel for where it was. We noticed the front door standing wide open and assumed it was being cleaned, however when we came back at checkin front door was still wide open. This was just after hurricane Helene came thru florida. The house seemed fine just leaves inside house so we swept them out, and checked in. Called to inform the property manager. The trash can outside was half full of unbagged garbage so I had to call manager again to make sure I did not get penalized for someone else’s trash but again no problems. Lastly there was dirty underwear in washer that we thru away.oh and when we went to leave the house the door would not lock. But those were just minor things. Overall the house was nice and suited our purposes. The pool and hot tub were clean and enjoyable.

Wonderful!!!!!

We had a great vacation and staying at this beautiful house was the main reason. From the first communication, the owners were very polite to work with and made the process very simple (how I like it). We arrived at night and were able to get in and comfortable right away. The house is absolutely beautifully decorated! It was so nice to just sit in any of the living spaces. Everything was clean, modern & new (or appreared new;). The beds were clean and comfortable. The property management company was very simple to deal with and even had a service that brought out park tickets to the house for free! The tickets were a few dollars cheaper than at the gated (added up with multiple people & parks). We had a couple of questions and the owners & property management company were both great to work with. It couldn't have an easier, better experience with renting a house (we've rented many) & the house was perfect. Thank you!!! We will be back!!

Wonderful Stay

The house was amazing. It was clean and comfortable. My family enjoyed having a kitchen to cook our meals, separate bedrooms, a washer and dryer, and the pool. The kitchen was very well stocked! The beds were comfortable. The house was close to shopping and tourist attractions. We spent two days at Legoland-which was easy to get to and not too far away. I recommend getting groceries at the Super Target during peak season. It wasn't too crowded; however, we attempted a quick trip to Walmart and it was packed. There is also a little grocery store at the end of the road for anything you need to restock. I am very thankful the house had fans. Our bodies are used to a little cooler sleeping weather. The thermostat was locked at 74 degrees. It was okay during the day, but a little warm in the bedrooms at night. Thanks for such an amazing stay. I highly recommend this place and the owners. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Once everything was corrected at pool and hot tub maintenance the house was excellent

When we booked vacation home we paid for pool and spa heating. When we arrived both the pool and spa were not usable and in need of disinfecting, sanitizing and cleaning. We arrived on a Sunday and contacted both the maintenance company and owner about the situation. Both responded promptly and the maintenance company people came out on Sunday evening. Regrettably the pool service people didn't get out until Tuesday afternoon and we had to wait a further 3 hours before we could use to allow all the chemicals to dissolve in both the pool and spa. Once this was resolved we thoroughly enjoyed the vacation home, pool and spa. The maintenance people Hanna, Ellis and Evan were all great! The pool maintenance guy (didn't get his name) was also very professional. Thanks Joe for getting these issues dealt with it, it was much appreciated! Dan

Home away from Home

This is a very nice property and would recommend this to anyone looking to visit the Orlando area. This is our second time visiting Orlando and renting a home, but the first time renting this property. You will not be disappointed. We had a total of 7 people in our party, 4 adults and 3 children and there was more than enough room for all of us to have our space. The kids loved the pool and the water was very nice and warm so they were able to swim even on the cooler days. The hot tub was wonderful to soak in after the long days at the park. It is an actual hot tub and not a spa, so you are able to control the water temperature, unlike a spa. There was a separate living room area for the kids to watch Netflix or play the WII, giving the adults their space for the other living room area. The beds were comfortable and there were more than enough linens for everyone. There is a washer and dryer available giving the ability to pack on the lighter side. The kitchen is complete to do any type of cooking that you may wish to do. The unit was very clean upon arrival and the check in process was very simple. The owners, Joe and Denise make it a very simple process for your arrival and make sure that you have everything you need to make your arrival a smooth transaction. It is very worry free. The Emerald Island Resort is also beautiful and in a gated community with a clubhouse and pool if you do not chose to hand out at the house. This property made our vacation feel as close to feeling like we were at home as it could be and I would without a doubt return to this property when visiting the Orlando area. It is only a hop, skip and a jump to the Disney parks. You will not be disappointed.

Hello! Thank you for considering our home! We are a little different from most of the owners in this area because this really is our only home, not a second or third property. This is it. That is why everywhere you look you will see tender, loving care.

So, who are we? We are a normal, fun-loving couple with 11 kids...yes, you read that correctly. We have 11 children. That is why we know what kids like, and why we love Disney.

My job required that my family move out of the USA, so we packed up our bags and moved to Tamale, Ghana. It is in West Africa and we love it here.

We purchased this home in Emerald Island so that we can have an anchor. It is our connection to 'home' in the States. We vacation here. Our older children who now live in the States (WV, DC, and FL) can also vacation here.

In a nutshell, we know the importance of a great vacation, probably more than most. Every two and a half years we come back to the States with the entire family, and this is the home we come to. Disney in our backyard, fun all around us, and memories to be made.

I know that you will love our home because we sincerely want to do whatever it takes to make this vacation your best one ever. Your children deserve the memories.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We have been coming to WDW since 1992. I honestly do not know how many times we have been here. Until 2013, we always rented. We discovered a few little 'secrets' to having a great time.

First of all, staying close to the property, but not on the property. Being close means that you don't spend precious vacation time on the road every day, yet being off property gives you tremendous freedom in food and other choices.

That is another key to having a great time. We wanted a place that was close to shopping (Target and Walmart are both a few minutes away) and an easy drive hundreds of food choices.

A third reason that we chose this property was the resort itself. We wanted activities for everyone to be able to participate in on those 'non-Disney' days. Our resort has a beautiful hiking/jogging trail, gym, pool, hot tub, game room, tennis, basketball, volleyball, and a sauna...and that is just the beginning. Emerald Island is also uber-safe with 24/7 guards and its one-way in/out access.

The final reason...just look around. It is beautiful.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

When we were looking for a property, being close to Disney was a huge bonus, but not the only thing. We wanted privacy as well. That is why we chose a home that backs up to the woods. Even when the resort is full, you feel like you are in your own little resort when you open the back door and sit by the pool.

We also wanted a place that 'felt' like home--but had the pizazz of Disney. You will agree that the soft colors, the paintings, furniture and rugs all give our home the feel of a 'home' not of an institution or even a museum. In order to get the pizazz, we asked our kids how they would like their rooms decorated. That led us to the themed rooms.

Our central location also makes it an easy and fun drive to the beach. If you want waves, head east one hour for Cocoa Beach. If your children are younger and you want calmer waters with a family beach, head west to Clearwater, about an hour and a half away.
