Every thing was clean. But furniture was dated , broken, very uncomfortable. Call property management, talked about a few problems, such as microwave cover was told it was on order. That was on October 11, 2025 so it should be fixed by now. Freezer was loaded with ice frozen solid on door, was hard to close. Electrical issues in master bathroom. The other bathroom downstairs the inside door handle was crushed. Broken kitchen chairs and dining room chairs. And I think the biggest thing you all could know is it takes 20 dollars a car to enter the resort and park. And if you have family in the area make sure you let them know before you get there and the are on the register to visit
The location was great the grounds were great the house was just what we were looking for a clean place to lay our heads we didn’t get to use all the amenities cause of our business with the parks we just slept and were on the go next time we will slow down and try them all

Thank you Michael! I hope you will take more time to enjoy the facilities next time! :)
The house was really clean, it was an overall great experience. However I would if I was the owner purchase new sheets for all the bedding, especially upstairs, some of the bedding was a bit worn out. Other than that, everything was great.
Great location. The amnesties at the resort are wonderful. House is located on a lovely Court. Quiet and lots of green space for the dogs to run. Owners were quick to respond to our questions. We enjoyed this home provided all the space necessary for our family.

Thank you Roberta for staying with us again and welcome back any time! :)
Loved our trip! This house is spacious, great neighborhood with easy access to various attractions. House was sparsely but adequately furnished and clean. Pool was warm and tons of fun! Location convenient in central Florida to many attractions. We loved it! The owners were accessible from the beginning, very responsive. Thank you for a lovely FL stay!

Nice, family-oriented, and clean vacation home!
My family and I , found this property in Orlando to stay for a couple of days during our vacation. The house itself couldn't be more suited for us: we were able to comfortably accommodate everyone (mind you, we were 12 including 1 senior), the rooms had plenty of space.
Also there were entertainment options such as a pool table, cable TV, pool, barbecue, and a videogame included. In short, couldn't be happier with our choice to stay here!

Thanks Gustavo! We would love to host you and your family again soon! Ann and Gary
Loved the location. Three month stay. House is definitely just a rental as chairs and furniture were dirty/stained but overall the home was great. Missing blender and mixer, notified mgt service and a couple days later they were delivered. Definitely want to rent i. Emerald Isle again next year.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with me and my family. It was the easiest check in process I’ve had in a while, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful , close to a new Walmart and many places to eat. The house was clean with plenty of room foe my family of 9. It was close to the parks , did a i mention a great neighborhood . I would definitely stay here again as we come to Disney once a year . Thank you!

The house could use a little maintaining. The furniture was very used, and it was not clean. We found dirty towels in one of the bathrooms and dirty underware under a bed from a previous renter. The location was wonderful.
Renters have not been kind to property. Lots of ding marks.
Property was clean, comfortable, close to attractions. Management people responded immediately to requests. Patio and pool faced 6/8 other properties (not shown on website). Some seemed to be used as short time rentals (one or two days) and some folks were noisy. Overall most respected others. Club house was a plus. Area is pretty with well maintained landscape.

Misleading
The listing shows a gas grill included. False. Talks about a spa. False. The place was clean but needs updating. Freezer doesn’t seal so it builds up inside. The frame of the microwave is cracked. The inside needs painting. One toilet runs all the time and another doesn’t always flush. The pool deck is moldy needs a deep cleaning. I did message the hosts about the grill and he said they don’t have it anymore but I could rent one. Surrounding homes had one for their renters to use. I would double check other homes in Emerald Isle to rent if you like the area. Club house was fun and the workers are great very friendly. We were there for a week and the mini golf was never open.

Outdated
Over all communication was ok. House though is extremely outdate and nothing has been done to fix any previous marks or dents or holes in walls. Furniture and tvs especially the tvs are extremely outdated. For tthe price people pay they could have easily upgraded
This property is plan gross. Stains on the furniture, dirt every where, cracks on the counters and microwave. Table on patio appears never been cleaned. I have taken pictures and complained to VRBO. Hosts will not respond to me. We did not stay. They will not return messages or phone calls. I want my money back. Pictures on site are not what the house really looks like. Do not schedule this home.
Our stay was terrible. We stayed up the first night cleaning the house and all the sheets and blankets.The house is not only outdated but it is filthy. One bedroom had no light so we had to bring a lamp from downstairs so the room had light. The communication with Ann and Gary is unprofessional and they completely disregarded our concerns as did Vrbo. DO NOT STAY HERE! My daughter and myself came back with our allergies being terrible and she has an eczema flair up. Between lack of communication and the mold, dust, unknown scratches on the door frames, the random mattress in the garage or “game room” the filthy pool furniture, door handles that are smashed in I would suggest anyone to stay anywhere else!!!!!
Fifty dirty villa/pool please please don’t waste your money.i cried when we finally got in the villa after along 9.1/2 hours flight from the UK.We have been to Florida staying villas for 20yrs and I have never had any problems.This villa was horrible it haven’t had a good clean for years it was filthy the pool had also sorts of things in it (pool was cleaned the day before we lef).we had to go to the shops and get cleaning supplies and spend hours just cleaning.The phone never worked so trying to get hold of the management company was impossible. We emailed no response at all. I emailed the host who took four days to respond asking the management company to come and see us they never did. I emailed yet again to wait a further three days for a response the host emailed the management company yet again no response.This was a 12 person villa with just 7 towels 7 forks 1 spoon good job it was only 2 of us there was even enough seating in the family area for 12. You definitely want I am posting pictures of this villa on this review not sure if they will stay on here but if anybody would like the pictures please private message me and I will send them to you. I really don’t want anybody to go through what we went through it’s spoiled our holiday totally. I gave two stars for the location only the rest I wouldn’t even give a star .After the host had several emails from me I am yet to have any sort of apology or explanation as to why they are renting this out in this state.

The house was in a gated community. The check in process was easy for us but on Friday night getting back in to the property was a night mare. I guess everyone was checking in for a long weekend. Had to wait in line for over an hour to get in. The house is in need of some TLC. Just minor issues that need to be adddressed and fixed. Don't bother calling the Maintenance Service people because they will not call you back. By Sunday they still had not called me. Now the positives: It accommodated our family well. Close to all the attractions. A Wal-mart with 2 miles to pick up essentials needed. Grand babies loved the pool. We would book again.

Sorry about the lack of responsiveness from maintenance service. I found out they have to follow the new limited hours due to the restrictions of Covid-19. It will get back to normal soon. Welcome back!
