We are so sorry that the AC unit is not working properly during your stay. We would have addressed this immediately if you had reported that upon your arrival instead of hours before your departure. I just find out that our regular annual spring time AC tuneup/maintenance is postponed due to COVID and causing this issue. If you have any plan to come again in the future, we'd gladly offer you 2 nights of complimentary stay. Thanks and thank you for staying with us.

Property was specifically picked for my wife’s 50th birthday with their pictures showing a beautiful pool and heated hot tub. Of which were not true, pool was a major issue from day 1, hot tub did not even work, nor heat up to the 100 temperature as advertised. Hence the pool again why I chose this specific house for our family was money wasted. As for the house itself, if you can sleep on a concrete slab well it is for you. Not one bed did not feel like that. The lights were filthy, the bathroom walls dirty, and the grounds were not even close to the photos. Would not recommend this location.

In spite of our generosity towards Nicole and her family, she has written things that are unfounded, unfair, and untrue. Here is the truth: - We allowed Nicole and her family to check in four hours early at NO extra charge, for which she was very appreciative at the time. - The pool was clear, clean, and heated to 88F (as advertised) throughout her entire 4-day stay. (We had our property manager personally come out and confirm this.) - The house looks EXACTLY like the photos, a point of pride for us (and reinforced by the reviews of many previous guests) - She hosted an unauthorized party on her first full day in our home, welcoming 8 visitors who presumably enjoyed a beautiful day by the heated pool in our clean and well-maintained lanai. :) (We did not chastise her for this.) - We did apologize profusely that the spa was heating inconsistently & immediately sent a pool technician out to assess the problem. She was appreciative of this effort at the time, which is not reflected in her review. **We also compensated her for the inconvenience with the spa with a $150 refund.** - The house is clean and well maintained (see previous reviews), which is also a point of pride for us. After her initial complaints and threats to 'go to a Disney resort' (which I would have welcomed), I checked in but never heard another word of complaint until this review. We've never had a guest like Nicole before. Although I feel sorry for her, I would not recommend her to other hosts.

A great stay for a great trip

We had a wonderful trip to Florida, and a big part of that was having such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. The house was clean and comfortable. And the kitchen had everything we needed for breakfasts and the late night frozen pizza after the parks. Host was responsive to my messages on this platform. Would stay again!

Christmas 2023 Family Vacation

Our family vacation was wonderful! The house was large, clean and organized. The pool and spa were heated and it was so nice to enjoy the spa after long days at the park. The pool table was a hit with my 12 year old grandson. I would definitely rent this place again.

This house was great for our trip to Orlando. It is in a very safe neighborhood, and an excellent location for visiting Disney. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. The house is clean and the game room was nice to have. Furniture is comfortable. Good communication with the owners. The pool and jacuzzi did not get to the correct temperature, but was still warm enough to enjoy.

Great house for 2 families

We picked this house due to the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and closeness to Disney Parks. We had 2 families stay here, each with 4 people per family with kids ranging from 6yr old to teens.The game room kept the kids entertained at times and so did the heated pool when we came back from the parks early enough to enjoy. The resort felt safe and the property was well maintained and clean. The beds were comfortable and it had all amenities that we needed. We would recommend to anyone with a group of 8 who needed a clean place with the primary basic needs of sleeping, showering and preparing basic meals.

The property was well maintained. We only had one issue with the keypad entry and the number not working. Called the property management company and they gave us the number for the lox box with a key. We received a new number for the keypad promptly. We would definitely stay at this resort again. It is very close to Disney and there are many options for food close by.

Lovely property close to Disney

Both the property and the owners were wonderful! We stayed 11 days, had very easy treks to both Disney and Universal from the home. The neighborhood was lovely and well maintained and felt very safe. There were lots of little touches that made the stay easy. Target and Publix were an easy drive away, plus tons of restaurants in the area. We had the misfortune of needing to weather Hurricane Milton while we were there, but the property owners were wonderful communicators and we came through safely (perhaps hurricane readiness is not your first concern in a rental, but know that this home was safe and sturdy during a Cat 1 hurricane). Really can't recommend this one enough.

Very nice but….

The house was just the right size for our family but it could use some updates. The mattresses were very soft and the pillows were old. The kitchen could use a toaster oven and perhaps a keurig. Also the refrigerator had a water and ice dispenser but it wasn’t connected which was very frustrating! The linens were very nice! And the game room was a nice touch! The location was perfect for our access to Disney! The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful!

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for choosing our villa. Glad you enjoyed the location close to Disney and other amenities in our home. Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable "home away from home" for our valued guests. Just to clarify, the two master bedrooms both have king size beds with firm mattresses, not soft. We have found that a firm mattress is best suited to most of our guests. The children's mattresses are softer. I'm not sure which pillows you used (there are many to choose from), but the majority of the pillows were purchased within the last year. Guests are invited to choose a pillow that best suits their individual needs. The kitchen comes with a 4-slot toaster and a 10-cup coffee maker. Basket filters are supplied. We have tried to avoid cluttering the countertop with additional appliances as we want to provide adequate space for our guests to prepare their meals. We enjoyed hosting your family and appreciated the good communication we had before and during your stay. Take care! Janet & Mike

Great location, nice villa

This villa is pretty close to Disney which is ideal to pop out and back again. Very comfortable beds and all the main things needed. Nice being on a gated resort. The only negative, out of the owners control, is zero recycling and literally everything into large trash bags. Obviously climate change not an issue here!!!!! Rant over! Anyway would we return? Absolutely. That says it all.

Stay

The house appears to be nice when you walk in, but we had to wash all the linen, because 4 of the beds had hair on them and the toilet in one of the master bathrooms was dirty also some of the dishes. Lastly the hot tub wasn't really a hot tub it stayed Lukewarm the entire time. Didn't contact the property owner because the times i did they just said check your property guide. But once we got everything cleaned up, we had a good time overall.

Hi Angel. I’m glad you had a good time overall, but this unfair review was shocking to receive. Angel, you know that I was very patient and answered your questions promptly and thoroughly, even though you did not read any of the guest instructions we sent prior to your arrival. You did not mention anything at all about any cleaning concerns! Most guests find the house very clean, but our guests' comfort matters to us and I would have acted immediately and done everything in my power to make it right. Also, when you suggested the spa wasn’t heating, I checked the temperature myself and indeed, it was 100F, just as it should be. The heater is new and we've had no complaints. However, if you wanted it hotter, you should have told me, and I would have done an override for you. But you didn't even ask. Next time you rent on VRBO, please tell your hosts of any concerns. At Treehouse, our top priority is to give our guests a wonderful experience and we do everything in our power to make that happen.

Superb house in great location

We have just returned from 2 wonderful weeks in Orlando and enjoyed staying in this villa. Emerald Isle is well maintained and secure and the staff are helpful. Maintenance is excellent and everything is tidy. A few neighbors were a touch noisy but nights were quiet and you feel well screened by the hedges and woodland out back. The pictures of the property are very accurate. Bedrooms are well furnished and mattress and pillows very comfortable. AC is temperature controlled and ceiling fans keep airflow cool even though it's 100+ outside. The kitchen has everything you need and the appliances are all in good condition. My teens enjoyed the big Samsung TV and cable tv plus TV's in all bedrooms too. My boys also enjoyed the superfast wifi with boosters to ensure coverage was great in all areas. Download at 400mbps so a good setup. The games room was in good nitch with all balls, cues etc in great condition. The table is 8ft slate bed so it's a great table to play 9 ball in the evenings. The pool was a nice size and in good condition with weekly cleaning taking place. Outdoor furniture was solid and the recliners and outside dining table, aluminum and not rickety white plastic! The outdoor lighting and fan meant eating all fresco was a pleasure. All in all a great house in a great location and lots of decent little touches to make for a great holiday.

Great Location & Property Management

This property is in a great location if you are wanting to go to any of the Disney parks. It is very close to Animal Kingdom. The neighborhood was great and easy to access. Lots of restaurants and stores to easily access. Some nice parks and walking trails right in the neighborhood. Overall, the property was great with the private pool in the backyard. There were some toys at the property, strollers, and high chairs. The one thing we noticed during our stay was that the property could use some deep cleaning of vents, baseboards, etc. Some of the furniture and linens could use replacement or cleaning as well. Other than that, the owners were super responsive and easy to work with. We would stay again!

Hi Raquel. Thanks for your review! Just to clarify, the pool heat was working (set to 86F), but you did mention after you checked out that the spa wasn't hot enough. We are at the house now and working on resolving any issues with the spa heat settings. The pool heater is new, installed in July, so I'm sure we'll be able to resolve this quickly. I respond to our guests immediately, as you mentioned, so it would have been helpful to know about the spa heat issue during your stay. Glad you enjoyed the house and I promise we are committed to doing everything we can to resolve any and all maintenance issues at our beautiful vacation villa! Best regards, Janet
