Photos and Description of the Emerald Island vacation house rental
7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, sleeps 14-16, games room, wi-fi Internet access

Our beautiful seven bedroom / six bathroom home is situated in the exclusive “Enclave” section of Emerald Island, a gated resort community which is within 5 minutes' drive of Disney World.

It is an ideal location for large family groups. Inside, the house is fully equipped to a very high standard to meet all your holiday requirements.

Each bedroom has a TV/DVD combo. The main family area has a 52 inch wide screen “smart” TV with a soundba and Blu-ray DVD player. The second floor den has an additional flat screen TV with PS2 (with a selection of games).

The house is fully air-conditioned and has a games room with a pool table and Foosball table (table football).

The house leads onto a shaded lanai with tables and chairs. Beyond is a screened deck area with a heated south facing 30 foot pool and spa with sun loungers, overlooking a lake and a wooded conservation area. There are alarms on all doors leading to the pool and a child safety fence can be erected if preferred.

About Gareth Jones

We are Gareth and Cathie. We first visited Florida with our children in 1997 and have been coming back ever since. What do we love about the Orlando area? The sunshine, the scenery, the theme parks for the children and the opportunity to relax by playing tennis and golf, swimming and visiting beautiful beaches and national parks. Nowhere helps us unwind like Florida.

Gareth Jones purchased this house in 2004
Why Gareth Jones chose Emerald Island

We stayed in a number of different communities in the Orlando area before we decided to buy a house in Central Florida. When we first visited Emerald Island, we knew immediately that this was the resort for us. We set our sights on buying a house with a south facing pool area overlooking one of the lakes. We couldn't believe our luck when Casa Esmeralda became available. Not only was it our dream house, it was also in the perfect location.

What makes this house unique

The peace and quiet and the best possible view from the pool area.

We stayed at Casa Esmeralda April 13-20, 2013. We brought 3 of our grandchildren, twin girls almost 3 and another granddaughter age 4, along with the other 2 sets of grandparents. This house gave everyone the space they needed and was truly beautiful. It was immaculate, well maintained and had a very large kitchen and beautiful pool and spa. We were able to be at any of the theme parks within 10 minutes. Honestly, just cannot say enough good things about this house and the neighborhood. It is in a beautiful gated community that is close to shopping, restaurants, etc. It is a perfect house for a large family vacation. We would definitely place this house as our top choice for a place to stay when going to Disney!

Dear Gareth,

We had the pleasure of staying in your beautiful home and it was an experience we will always treasure! Casa Esmeralda fit all of our needs perfectly!! I was so very pleased to find the home just as it had been described in the listing and appreciated your prompt, friendly answers to all of my questions.

The unique layout of the open floor plan of the main floor affords plenty of space without feeling cutoff. The unique 2nd level floor plan allows for quiet privacy. We loved the way the stairway split the upper level into two sections! Despite being 14 of us (with 5 of those being children aged 3-10) we had more than ample room to spread out, do our own thing and be comfortable as well!

Having a large group made the number of bathrooms offered in your home a major plus for us. The kids made good use of the game room as well as the den upstairs for playing their video games and we all loved the pool and spa and used it every day!! The conservation view from the lanai/pool only added to the already relaxing atmosphere . The beds were all quite comfortable and the entire home very clean. One thing I really appreciated was the two air conditioning units. They kept the home cool and comfortable even when it was hot & humid outside and we were cooking!

We came down for Disney but ended up spending over half our time at the house because we were just so content at the house. Emerald Island Resort with its friendly, guarded front gate and helpful office staff offers too many features to list here and is beautiful, peaceful and well-kept. At your home, we were close to everything we could want or need- Disney World, grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations or gift shops. Anyone looking to rent a home that is clean, comfortable, peaceful, spacious, beautiful, unique and relaxing needs to stay at Casa Esmeralda!

Thank you for an amazing and relaxing vacation home!
Kim

Thank you for allowing us to rent your home in Florida! Your home was beautiful, spacious and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. The desciption of the home matches how it is in real-life. We enjoyed the hot tub and heated pool. The home was extremely comfortable for sitting and gathering with friends. We used the large kitchen for most of our meals and had plenty of room for cooking and eating in the dining room and kitchen. There was also a family room upstairs in the loft. The home is in an area that has a community pool, exercise room, and poolside bar. The area was beautiful. My friends and I spent our time at Epcot and Universal Studios which were close to the house. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend staying here to our family and friends, and would love to return some day! Great customer service too! Gareth was quick to respond to all of my questions. He sent me all of the information that I needed prior to our visit. Everything about our stay was perfect! - Patti, Amy, Christi, Karen, Mark, Mike and Steve

Well what can I say that ain't been said already. This is our second time back to your villa and thank you once again Gareth and Kathy for a brillent holiday. Your villa is so clean and spacious. The new snooker table was just brill for the older kids in our party and kept them entertained 24/7! Of course most days were spent at the parks and your location to disney is perfect. Emerald Island resort feels 100% safe and all the staff that work there are really friendly. My 4 year old daughter said there are lots of beds and a wicked house to play hide and seek. I was there with my immediate family, all 16 of us and not once did I feel over crowded. We are all looking forward to our next Florida expereince and will stay at your villa again.

Bye for now Victoria ,

Hello Gareth. We wanted you to know what a wonderful time we had at Casa Esmeralda. The house accommodated all 15 of us comfortably. We especially enjoyed the sparkling clean pool and spa. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do and we appreciated the security of the gated community. We are already planning our next trip!

We were very pleased with the communications during the enquiry and booking process. The house looked great and was even better than we had thought from the pictures. Everything was in order and obviously well managed. We have been to Florida and Orlando on three previous occasions and stayed in the Davenport area (Highlands reserve twice and Hampton Lakes once) and much preferred the Emerald Islands location for convenience and security. We would happily recommend Casa Esmeralda to others.

The house was wonderful! Upon arrival everything was clean and working properly. The beds were comfortable, the furniture was in good shape, there were plenty of linens, and everything was great. We felt very safe with the gated entry and we enjoyed the workout room in the clubhouse, the volleyball court, and the tot lots. We had a wonderful time and if we ever vacation again in Orlando we will definitely stay at casa Esmeralda.
