The Resort: Situated in the magnificent gated resort of Emerald Island is our luxurious 7 bedrooms/5.5 bathrooms villa that sleeps up to 16 people in lavishness and comfort. Encircled by a protected buffer of woodlands and wetlands, Emerald Island Resort is a 'land island' amidst a sea of lush vegetation. Only a few miles from Walt Disney World and a short walk or drive to shopping and dining, 2 supermarkets, and many golf courses, this 'island' serves as a haven from the larger world while remaining central to everything the world's most popular destination with millions of visitors a year has to offer.
The Villa: There is a large and well-equipped kitchen with an island, breakfast table, oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher plus crockery and cutlery to cater for your needs. The villa's seating areas consist of a living room, family room with wide-screen TV, landing area lounge and nook area. The dining room can comfortably seat 8. Plenty of space so you never feel crowded. Our home benefits from central air conditioning and is decorated and furnished above that expected for rental property.
For the ultimate in relaxation and enjoyment the villa has its own enlarged private South-Facing pool with jacuzzi & massage, plus 10 foot covered lanai for shade, so you can unwind after a busy day at the parks. The pool is enclosed with a screen from all sides and is heated. The serene view from the pool deck and backyard is of a wooded conservation area with a lake so there is more privacy than most properties in Emerald Island. The villa also has a free gas BBQ grill in the backyard.
Last minute booking and so glad we did it. The home is absolutely beautiful. So much room and fun things to do for all ages. The beds are simply amazing! Most comfortable sleep I've EVER had away from home. Actually, even better than my beds at home. The villa is very well kept and clean. Pool is perfect. Thank you for a fantastic time in your home. Looking forward to our next trip back.
Very large house and perfect for a large family. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Easy access to parks.
We found the house exactly as portrayed. The house was clean and fit our family needs very well. This was for a family vacation for us, our adult children and grandchildren. The home is conveniently located near Disney and Universal Studios which enabled us to spend time at both parks. We were there when record cold temperatures were being set, so the pool could have been a little warmer, but the hot tub was great.
The house is beautiful and just as described! It is perfect for a large group. We only used 5 of the bedrooms so everyone had their own bathrooms. We loved the large kitchen where everyone can gather around the island. The pool, jacuzzi and patio is wonderful as well! The house is conveniently located to grocery stores and Disney attractions. The owner was always very pleasant to work with and the management company was attentive to any concerns or issues. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely rent here again!
Well what can I say, except - thank you Mo, to you and your family for allowing us to stay in your wonderful holiday home once again. If you are looking for a lovely place to stay run by a very efficient management company and owned by simply the nicest people you will deal with, this is the place for you.
We have visited Florida most years for the last twenty and stayed in many different locations in and around Kissimmee in that time. We decided to try the Emerald Isle reservation and Mo's place three years ago. We loved it so much that we wanted to return the following year but couldn't get the dates to match (I wrote a review after our first visit and I'd like to think it helped, because I may have been a victim of it becoming so popular that I couldn't get in!). I decided to book early for this year and we have just returned home. One of the first things I did was re-book for next year and organise our flights. So we are very much looking forward to going back next year again.
Ok, so why? The location of Emerald Isle is perfectly situated just off the 192. All the Disney parks and Disney Springs are right on the doorstep, highway 4 is minutes away which gets you to Universal or Florida Mall quickly and if you take the Osceola Parkway, which runs parallel with the 192 (and all the traffic) which is just one junction up World Drive, it will take you straight to The Loop, which is a fairly new shopping plaza in 15 minutes rather than 30. Also, villas themselves vary so much in standards of cleanliness, facilities and some we have stayed in make little effort to make the place warm and welcoming - it's just a holiday rental. That's not to say there are pictures of Mo's family everywhere but it feels very homely and natural, it is also fastidiously clean and well managed with everything you need (we have stayed in places where we have had to buy tin openers, scissors and even cooking utensils in the past). The villa has themed bedrooms such as a Harry Potter room, perfect for youngsters. Furniture has been replaced since we last went which keeps it fresh, modern and new. There is a games room with air hockey, darts and pool. There are always inflatables by the pool (which we have had to buy in many places), oh and the most comfortable beds in any villa we have stayed in. So, in short, it has everything you need to make your stay memorable and give you the perfect holiday home...
Hence the title of this review - it's a home from home... enjoy your stay!
Beautiful villa with all the amenities you could want and more. Excellent location near to Disney. Emerald Island is very picturesque and the view from the rear of the villa is breathtaking. Mo is the most helpful and charming owner. Nothing was too much trouble and he always went above and beyond. My family have stayed in several villas over the last few years when visiting Orlando but this is the best. Thank you Mo for a wonderful and memorable holiday.
Better than described!! Property was beautiful and clean. Don't know how old it is but it looked and felt new!...After Disney visits we would jump into the pool ....11 of us(6 adults and 5 children) stayed 7 nights and hated to leave! Our family rents homes very often at various locations and this is the best house we have ever rented!!!! Can't say enough about it!! We will be back!!!!
