South Facing Pool Home

Smithvaca2019

The house was beautiful! The rooms were lovely. The kids loved the pool. The game room was a hit, along with the bikes. The resort was nice. Basketball court was a good hike, but kids enjoyed. Only thing missing from the description was the arcade room. Location was very convenient and close to shops, mini golf and restaurants. Kids were really looking forward to that, but it didn’t exist. Overall a great vacation. Thanks! 😘😘

Very Nice Villa

Resort DS350 was a nice vacation home. The accommodations were as mentioned. The Villa is a single level home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, full kitchen, dining area and living room. Also game and laundry room, swimming pool and spa. Grounds are very nice. Less than 1/2 hour from Disney. Universal Studios and Airport a little further but less than 45 minutes away. Located close to shopping strip and family restaurants.

great location for theme parks

If you are visiting the theme parks then this property is only 10 minuets from Disney, ideal as well for all other theme parks, beaches and shops. Initially we did have problems entering the villa as we were given the wrong code, we also found stained linen and a few cobwebs in the bedroom but after my daughter phoned the management company we were very happy with the villa as these issues were addressed. The size of the rooms, the pool, games room, everything we expected was great, the washing machine and dryer in the garage came in very useful for the size of our family. We would definitely use your company again and recommend to others to use. All returned yesterday from a happy 3 weeks away in the SUN.

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house. There was everything in the property that we needed and we are hoping to go back there again in May if it is vacant.

Perfect

We have stayed at this resort many times before over the last 12 years and it's perfect for all the attractions. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The resort is extremely well kept. The villa was exactly how it was in the brochure and was very clean and well presented on arrival. The kitchen was well equipped with cutlery, tableware etc. The bedrooms were of adequate size as were the bathrooms with plenty of spare bedding/towels if required. The lounge area was plenty big enough for us, the tv worked fine as did the Internet. The rear of the property is overlooked - which we knew but it wasn't a problem - the estate was pretty quiet when we were there but when people were out using their outside space it was nice to hear other people. The pool is of an adequate size and it was nice to have the spa pool. What I would say tho that as this villa potentially sleeps 10 people - there was no where near enough outside seating and bedding I.e. a small 4 seater table and chairs and 2 sunbeds (obviously the table wasn't a problem for us but the sun lounger situation was, as we all like to lie in the sun on our "chill days"). I contacted Orlando4Villas who informed me that it was normal practice to have that many but kindly arranged for an extra 2 beds to delivered, for which we were very grateful. There is a games room in the garage, together with bikes - which we never used. It was good to have the washing machine and drier. You definitely need to hire a car to get out and about. I would definitely use the villa again and recommend to people of parties of no more than 6 people. We visited Universal Studios/Island of Adventure, which is fantastic - Harry Potter is incredible. We also ate at Vivo at City Walk - very nice Italian. Magic Kingdom was magical as always - even our 2 teenage daughters thought it was wonderful. We had 12 hours in the park and it went so quickly. We ate in Tony's restaurant which was nice - I would strongly advise booking. When we came out we watched the amazing firework show. Sea world was an ok day, unfortunately there had been a storm early in the morning and rides kept getting stopped all day due to the potential weather. Busch Gardens was a huge disappointment and would never visit there again. Food was awful there and part of the park really smelt. We had an amazing day at Discovery Cove, it may seem a bit pricey but it is so worth the money and would definitely do this again and would highly recommend it. Acquatica waterpark was very good fun. We went shopping at Orlando Premier Outlets, both on Vineland Drive and International - picked up a few bargains. We also went Mallenia Mall, which is more upmakert. Whilst there we are at The Cheesecake Factory - fantastic and would recommend. We also visited Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney). It has had a makeover, with lots more shops and restaurants. We are at Portabellos Italian, the food was nice but the service was just far too quick - we had literally just put our cutlery down from our starter and our main meal was presented to us - our starter plates were still in front of us. We also ate at the Outback Steakhouse, flippers, the Black Angus, Sizzler and Gordinnos. The supermarket near the resort (Marketplace) is a bit pricey but if you carry on down the 192 you come to a Publix which is far more reasonable. Hope this helps. The Goughs

We liked the property very much

Property was very clean and tidy, had everything a family could look for. The games room was a great hit. The only downside was the pool was on the cold side in spite of us paying for heating.

Fabulous villa

We have spent 2wks in this villa with family and it was exactly what it said on the site. It was spotless and very inviting, it was close to Disney and not to far from universal. Eating out, the red lobster is a must and outback steak house, both restaurants 5mins in a car. I would defernatly recommend this accommodation to friends

Great Vacation at Emerald Isle Villas - 2015

We arrived on time and found absolutely everything as advertised. The pool was a little cool even tho we had ordered heat. The hot Tub worked for three of the seven nights. All else was absolutely perfect. Plenty of room, clean, neat, and a fun stay. So convenient to Disney and Universal. Plenty of room to park, laundry so convenient. Will do it again, just wished the pool was warmer, wives refused to go in.

Once again Orlando4villa came through. The home was clean and had everything we could possibly want. Wayne from Orlando4villa was great help in finding this home. I also rented a car from them and there were no additional fees as you would normally find. Great trip I will return to Orlando4villas and would rent a car from them as well. THANKS

We stayed in the Emerald Island Resort which was lovely. The staff in the clubhouse are very helpful and everywhere was very well maintained. The villa itself was beautiful, it was spotlessly clean and everything you have in your own home is thoughtfully provided from an industrial sized washer and dryer to table napkins. The games room was a huge hit with my kids and even had 3 mountain bikes and helmets provided. I will book with this company again as the whole process from beginning to end was courteous, efficient and friendly. Thank you and hope to do business with you again soon.

What an amazing holiday! We walked into the villa and were so pleased. It was beautifully decorated, spacious and clean. Everything you could possibly need was there and the pool and games room were great a great hit with the kids and adults!The Emerald Island Resort as a whole is a great complex and so close to everything. Staying at the villa definitely made our holiday and we are already saving to come back here again! I would recommend anyone to stay here, it was our best holiday ever. Yvonne, England.

We totally enjoyed our stay at your villa. It was like walking into a home from Homes and Gardens. It was tastefully decorated and very clean. Pool was great and game room was extra bonus for the kids. I will stay here again. Thanks to Orlando4Villas for making our vacation a huge success.

We enjoyed our stay at Emerald Island Resort. The location was great--very convenient to Disney. After staying at this wonderful house, I don't think we could ever stay a week at a motel again! My children loved the games room and the pool. Many Thank's Brenda USA
