Bookings are on a first come first served basis so act now to avoid disappointment.
Some things to note: The backyard "splash" pools, when heated, will not feel warm like a bathtub, nor are they designed to. They are designed to be used as a place to "cool off" & splash around. Public swimming pools are typically set to approx 78 - 82 degrees. Our pool heater is set to 85 degrees. We also have an additional heater for the "on demand" spa (set to 104 degrees) & our heating fee is for both the pool heat & the spa heat.
All homes in Florida with electric pool heaters/pumps will be affected by the ambient temperature. If it is very cold outside, all of the pools with electric heaters may struggle to achieve &/or maintain the optimal temperature (this is especially true if the temp drops below 55). So while the pool might not be able to heat to the desired temperature during really cold weather, the pump is still running during the day, & the pool will typically be warmer than if the heat had not been turned on at all. Because of this, we also have a propane heater for the spa which is not affected by the ambient temperature. The spa, when activated, should be able to heat to the optimal temperature (104 degrees) regardless of the ambient/outdoor temperature although it may take a few minutes longer.
There are two exterior cameras: one is positioned at the side of the house facing the heater(s) & pool pump; the other facing the corner of the driveway/garage. For your privacy, no audio is recorded, there are no cameras inside the home and the cameras have no view of the pool or pool deck.
Parking: cars staying overnight on the resort require a resort access card/pass. Up to 2 car passes are included with your stay. The resort allows for up to 6 cars overnight. Additional passes, if required, can be purchased at the resort upon arrival for $20 each.

Host was very responsive. Great amenities (pool, clubhouse). Very close to Disney! A few food items (milk, OJ, read, cereal, cookies, butter, jelly) were provided which was convenient.
The house was perfect for us. Plenty of room and activities on site. Swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful to come back to after a long day. Communication with the host was top notch.
The house was beautifully appointed. We were surprised at the welcome gifts; the perfect things to get us going on our first morning. The host answered immediately to the few questions that I had. She was very responsive. And after the long days at the park the hot tub was delightful. The location in so convenient to stores, parks and restaurants. The house was spacious, very clean, the amenities were plentiful. A perfect house for our family get away.
A great family holiday in this well situated spacious villa. Fully equipped kitchen makes preparation of meals and snacks simple and easy. Children loved the pool and the heated spa was a bonus in the evenings. The property easily accommodated the seven of us. The second living/dinning room provided a quieter space to relax. The welcome pack was a pleasant and very useful surprise.
Everything was Fantastic! Marilyn was a wonderful host, very prompt and attentive to the needs. I have stayed at several VRBO’s and this is one that is top of the list all the way around. Thank again
Our stay was fantastic, had everything we needed and then some. Host even provided us with birthday balloons and cookies for a fantastic surprise! Host was very accessible via messaging and was so accommodating, we would definitely book this again.
This is a lovely house with lots to keep us entertained. Swimming pool and pool table were put to good use. Perfect house to share with another family as it has two rooms with in room bathrooms.
We visited for a brief stay in Orlando for the Disney Run and were instantly at home. Safe neighborhood, clean property, and even welcome snacks waiting for us! Marilyn was a super responsive communicator; heating issue with hot tub was addressed immediately and resolved during our stay to save the day! Would definitely return!
The house was just right with lots of space to play - the pool and hot tub was fantastic- with all well equipped with games and comfortable family areas to sit and plan the day’s adventure- in short it was a great house to stay in and stay there again
The stay was great the house was great had a few hiccups but the communication between myself and the property manager was great. Only thing is the cleaning people left a lot of hair in the master bedroom/bathroom not sure if they used the same rag or just didn’t realize it but a lot of hair was left around. But other then that our stay was great fit our families needs the outside area was great the game room satisfied the kids and the location was convenient.
Enjoyed our stay in this villa which is in a great location, with easy access to Highway 192 restaurants and Disney. There are also many golf courses nearby.
The villa is comfortable, and everything reasonably needed is provided.
The communication with the owner was excellent and she dealt appropriately with any issue.
We had a great time and we’re very happy with absolutely everything. Quiet neighborhood, great facilities, wide, open spaces for lounging and family time. We found the place to be very clean with everything you would need for a week or longer getaway.
We were looking for a place that had close access to Disney and the Parks as well as Universal, yet gave us the room to spread out and had a pool. This home had all of that and more! In fact, our teenager asked to stay here when we came back! Great experience! Well maintained! Thank you so much!!
This house had everything we needed for 4 adults and 3 kids. Plenty of space and 15-20 min from Disney. The kids enjoyed the Mickey theme room, game room, and pool. The pool lights were not working when we arrived, but the owner was very quick to respond and fixed them problem. The little welcome package with cereal, bread, milk, jelly, OJ, and cookies was such a special touch. I wish we would have had more time to explore the community, because it had so much to offer. I would recommend this house while staying in the area!
Very beautiful home with plenty of room for a group of 7. My granddaughters enjoyed the swimming pool & gameroom. Close to shopping & Disney World. Really enjoyed my stay will stay again in the near future.
We visit Florida a lot, a family of 4 with two older teens. This is a pretty 4Bd 3Bath home in lovely gated community of Emerald Island. It's about 10 minutes from Disney World, Animal Kingdom the closest, off Highway 192.
Clean, roomy, comfortable home, good wifi, 6 TV's, a fully equipped kitchen,, beds comfy. Two masters en suite. The main one with large shower and jetted tub, walk in closet. Game room has a pool table basket ball game and mini- air hockey, washer/dryer. There's a wall AC unit in there, to cool the place off before using.
The private pool was clean and fun. No heat needed in the summer; you'll need it for the winter.
Publix, Walmart(crazy busy at times), Target nearby with lots of restaurants. Visit Celebration and Old Town; check out some goofy gift shops on 192, play mini-golf.
We love Universal, about 25-30 minutes depending on traffic. Get to the parks early. Cocoa Beach about an hour; Clearwater a bit further. MCO about 35-45 minutes. Traffic has definitely increased heavily over recent years.
We always find something new to do when we visit. Marilyn, the host, is very attentive. Thanks for everything!
We stayed as a family of 7 for 3 weeks and had a great time. The property is really nice and very close to Disney Parks.
Communication with the owner is first class any issues (very few) are dealt with immediately
Would fully tecommend
Loved this property. Appreciated the essentials (milk, juice, cookies, bread, butter, jam, and cereal) that were provided to hold us over until we could get groceries. Great location, quiet, loved the pool and spa. We weren’t able to get the AC working in the game room or the pool lights, but that was only a minor issue. Would def stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Owner/Manager
We have 3 children & have found Orlando to be a perfect vacation destination as there is something for everyone here. Orlando continues to be our favorite family holiday destination.
Why they chose this property
The beautiful Emerald Island is an amazing resort which we had stayed at many times before. We have always enjoyed the resort atmosphere & the convenience of where it is located. The location is excellent for getting to & from the theme parks as well as it is close to many other amenities, including restaurants, shopping areas, golf, & world class attractions.
This guard gated resort is very well maintained & features resort amenities such as a heated community resort pool & hot tub, a clubhouse with conceirge service, sauna, resort tiki bar, fitness center, children's playgounds, tennis, basketball, sand volleyball, & nature walking trail. You have all of the fun & features of staying on a first class resort along with the privacy of your own vacation villa.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy having the extra space, convenience, and privacy that this villa provides. With it's own private pool and spa, we don't have to worry about not making it back to the resort before the pool closes, so we can all enjoy a swim no matter what time of day. The fully equipped kitchen helps save time & money on costs associated with always eating at restaurants. It's especially nice in the morning knowing that you can grab a quick breakfast before heading out to the theme parks rather than having to wait to get served at a restaurant. This villa provides ample space and comfort for the entire family (and extended family). Having 3 bathrooms makes it easier for everyone getting ready in the morning. Everyone loves having their own bedroom with a TV. So much nicer and more convenient than staying in a typical hotel room.
