Family Disney Vacay

We really enjoyed our stay on the property. The house was very functional for our large group of 10 and we never felt crowded. The pool and hot tub were amazing bonuses and used by one and all. I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a comfortable, well maintained place close to Disney! We will definitely be back.

This was a dream family vacation and the rental did not disappoint. From the moment we entered the community, to the ease of checking in and the amenities that were provided it was perfect! We have stayed at countless rentals for family trips and this one definitely tops the list. Chris was a great host and did an awesome job of checking in to make sure that things were going well.

The property was in a wonderful location very convenient to theme parks, shops and restaurants. It was spotless, very well decorated, very comfortable beds. It smelled fresh unlike some that can have a slightly damp musty smell. It was very well equipped with kitchen equipment. Plenty of seating both inside and around the pool. The south facing pool was truly excellent. A pool table in the dining area instead of the garage provided us with great entertainment. While we didn’t have time to use it the impressive cinema room would be a boon if weather turned wet. From booking to check in and check out Chris kept in contact. Everything was effortless. As a family we thank him very much.The only downside is that we had leave and come home. We’ll be back. The Erwin/ Adams family.

Disney Vacay

We stayed here for our Disney vacation and the property was exactly what we hoped it would be. It was clean, the pool was cleaned twice while we stayed, it was close to the parks so we can do half days come back to the pool and then go back to the park, and we were even able to grill for the 4th of July and have a perfect holiday. Next time we do Disney, we will be looking to rent this property again.

There was everything we needed and more to enjoy our time here. Chris was an outstanding Host. He got back to us right away to answer any questions we had. Thank you!!!

The house, the flexibility, and the overall experience was second to none! Chris was extremely responsive and an absolute pleasure to work with. We were travelling with 10 adults and one child - the house was perfect for us! It was clean and had all the amenities we could ask for! So nice having the private pool for our family and my 2 year old grandson! If I ever travel back to Disney, I will stay here in a heartbeat! Thank you Chris for making our Disney trip such an incredible experience!!!!!

The perfect getaway

I cannot thank Chris enough for being a great host. The size and cleanliness of the home exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed was there. We prepared in case there wasn't enough, but actually brought home unopened supplies. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. This allowed all 7 of us to have some decompression time after a full day at the parks. Our host, Chris, kept the lines of communication open. If i had a question, he responded promptly. Plus he was really accommodating and hospitable, which is a rare find these days. If given the opportunity, I would go there again. We really appreciated you, Chris!!

Family Disney Trip

Great property in a beautiful location just minutes to all Disney Parks. Great for large families. Highly recommend this property. Very well represented in the review pictures. We had 11 in our party and had plenty of room. Home is well appointed and loved having a bathroom for almost all 6 bedrooms. Has a great pool and hot tub. Plenty of seating and lounging by the the pool. Grandkids loved the pool, pool table and theater room. Two Disney themed rooms also nice for the little ones. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Chris was a great host and very responsive (literally within minutes) to any questions we had. Check in and check out process extremely easy. We will definitely return!

Teacher Getaway

The home is very spacious and is located in a quiet gated community. Even with 11 adults in the home, we never felt crowded. Having six bathrooms was great for getting ready in the morning. The large kitchen and family room was perfect for spending time together. Everyone loved relaxing in the pool area! The full-size washer and dryer were very convenient. None of us had a vehicle, but it was super easy to Uber to nearby stores and attractions. The owner, Chris, was very responsive from the moment we booked and throughout our entire stay. He was quick to answer all of our questions. I’m excited to return in the future and wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful oasis to other large groups wishing to enjoy the Disney Parks without staying on property.

This house was amazing! We had a blast and wished we were able to stay longer. Pool and hot tub were so clean! House was spotless! The kids had a blast playing pool and loved the movie theater. The only thing I'd recommend is fixing the ceiling fans throughout the house. Most of them were set on low and could not be changed despite having a remote control so it was very warm in the upstairs bedrooms.

Great location/neighborhood, wonderful property, even more wonderful host

The neighborhood is exclusive but we felt very welcome at the guard house and clubhouse, the clubhouse attendee offered us all neighborhood amenities and was very helpful. The property was clean and cared for, and so spacious! Those in our party with work obligations easily found space to work while we all enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Chris, our host contacted us a couple of weeks before our arrival to make sure we had all instructions and was a top-notch communicator the entire time when we needed. Simply the most excellent host I’ve ever experienced! Kitchen is well stocked, beds were comfy and everything was thoughtfully set up for our stay. We LOVED the movie theater room, and we and our adult children enjoyed watching our fav family movies as quote-and-sing-alongs, so fun in that atmosphere… Thanks for a great experience! Highly recommend and we will be back

About the host

Hosted by Chris Ross

Host profile image
Our family of 4 resides just outside of the Greater Toronto Area. We love spending time out doors searching for adventures with our giant dog and travelling when we have the opportunity!
We fell in love with Emerald Island when we had our first family vacation together in 2018 and made our dreams come true to own a villa in 2021. We know your family will enjoy it as much as ours did!

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Emerald Island Resort on a family trip in 2018 and we made it our goal to buy a vacation property here, 3 years later we did! The Villa was a large inviting place to spend time with our family and perfect Florida backyard setting stole our hearts immediately. With the Villa being so close to many of Central Florida's Main attractions and being just over an hours drive to the coast, this home was an easy decision for our family.

What makes this property unique

The fully airconditioned Movie Theatre makes for an amazing space for kids and adults to further share magical experiences and make memories.
A covered patio, privacy from the hill and South facing pool make our backyard one of the best in the resort!!
The resort amenities including the playgrounds and clubhouse were perfect for our family to enjoy and hope yours will too.
