About Craig Strangward

Our family first visited Florida in 1995 and have made it a regular holiday destination ever since. After our first few visits we discovered Emerald Island Resort and continued to rent villas there as it is superbly located and all the villas are of outstanding quality. We enjoyed Florida so much over the years that we decided to buy two villas in Emerald Island Resort and would like to welcome you into one of our homes for a wonderful vacation.

Craig Strangward purchased this villa in 2010
Why Craig Strangward chose Emerald Island

The Emerald Island Resort is superbly located on the US192, just 3 miles (10 minutes drive) from Disney World yet secluded in a gated community surrounded by a conservation area for those relaxing evenings.

What makes this villa unique

Our villa is so close to Disney World that we can visit the theme parks in the morning, come back during the evening to relax and cool off in the pool and have a bite to eat then return for more fun and fireworks at the theme parks! The south facing pool overlooks a lake and conservation area, perfect to enjoy the Floridian sunsets. Our villa isn't just close to Disney World; Universal Studios and Sea World are within a 25 minute drive to! There is a large supermarket just over 1 mile from the villa and superb restaurants are all located within a couple miles. Even on the days when we relax at the villa there is plenty to do, the games room with top of the range pool table, air hockey and foosball keeps the family entertained for hours!

"we had a wonderful time"

"we had a wonderful time"
Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
As far as a review is concerned, we had a wonderful time. The spacious accommodation, fully equipped was appreciated by all ages. The pool was put to good use every day, and the hot tub in the late evenings before bed. The older children enjoyed playing pool and thought the ice-making feature of the fridge was very cool.

It was lovely to get home after a day at the parks, shower, change, and either head out to one of the many local eateries, or cook up something easy (bearing in mind that 8 of our party are vegetarian).

The three families felt able to please themselves, some in, some out, some playing in the pool, some watching TV. The house provided perfect flexibility which is just what we wanted.

So a great success - thank you!

"Nicely decorated, comfortable, luxurious!"

"Nicely decorated, comfortable, luxurious!"
Submitted: November 8, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We liked almost everything about the villa - it was a good size for our group. Nicely decorated, comfortable, luxurious! The two shared bathrooms worked well for us as we have two families with small children. It was great to have a selection of board games and dvds (even although none of them were used - too many other things to do, but if it had been a wet week they would have been used), and the games room was well used. Fantastic to have so many towels - that was unusual in our experience of self catering, but this was the first time we'd rented a villa in the States. Kitchen was a suitable size for the party, and equipped with the right sizes of cooking equipment for such a large group. As we ate all our main meals in that was really important for us. The pool and hot tub provided a great area to 'hang out' that allowed the adults to sit and chat while the children used up energy in the pool.

Thank you again for making this villa available for groups like ours. The week was one of the best we've ever had, and in no small measure due to the accommodation.
