Secret Treasure

Great stay

Great stay in this home on Emerald Island Resort. It was so good to leave the madness of the parks behind and return to the villa on Emerald Island. Very well appointed villa, great pool, jacuzzi and plenty of space to relax. Perfect place to start and end the day. Thanks for the loan of your home Carol, we had a great time.

Great place for a family

The property manager communicates quickly and is responsive to the guest's needs. The facilities are as advertised. The location is great for access to the theme parks. There is nothing quite like having a spacious home with pool after the day's activities are done. We felt safe and secure, in this gated community, and would definitely stay again.

Thank you and thrilled you enjoyed staying in my family home. I hope we can tempt you to stay again very soon. Kind regards, Carol

A very comfortable villa

The villa met all our expectations and had everything we could possibly want. It is in an excellent location, a short drive up to the main road with a wide range of restaurants, 10 minutes from Walmart and Disney theme parks. The approach to the Emerald Island Resort is very attractive. The villa was comfortable and well furnished. Having a private pool was a bonus, especially with a range of childrens toys provided, as well as a high chair and cot. The owner was very helpful and responded promptly to all our queries.

Very clean and very comfortable

Very clean, comfy beds and sofas, loads of space, loved the pool, pool table and air hockey was a fun bonus. Loved being able to relax here after a fun day at the parks - in fact some days our kids wanted to chill here rather than go out! A real treat to stay here.

The villa was perfect

This Disney trip was a present to our Daughter, Son in law and 2 Grand children, so we were a party of 6. The villa was perfect, good size bedrooms, large living area and the grand children loved the pool, which was great to chill out in, after all the Disney walking!!! The villa has everything you need, we would book this again if we return as a family. That's why we have give it 5*s.

Great villa

From the beginning to end, this was a great experience. Carol was very responsive to questions. The villa was exactly what we were looking for and needed. The pool and jacuzzi felt great and it was nice having some inflatables to play with. Everything was clean and nicely stocked. Would definitely stay again.

Delighted you enjoyed staying in my family home. Thank you for the positive review as we do keep it in top spec and it’s great knowing other families enjoy their stay as much as we do. Hope we can tempt you to stay again.

Best rental home we have stayed in

A fantastic rental home, great location being so close to all the parks, especially Disney parks. The home is kept extremely clean and very well maintained, unlike some we have stayed in. The pool and jacuzzi were very welcome. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this home. We will definitely book this home again.

Perfect home

Comfortable and clean, perfect for relaxing after a long day out! We loved that it had plenty of supplies to feel like home.....towels, linens and kitchen items. The pool and hot tub were a nice size and clean. The game room kept the teens occupied during our down time.

5th visit and love this home!

Our fifth visit and we always want to return. It feels like home from home. Love this home and never want to leave. It offers more privacy by the pool/jacuzzi than most homes on Emerald Island as this home has a long lot and therefore more space as home to the rear is on a different level. Beautifully decorated and extremely well kept and clean. Can't wait to return next year.

Very smart, everything you need, great location!

We booked this property on recommendation from a friend and were very glad we did. Plenty of space for the 8 of us (two families with teenage kids). Lovely environment, and all the facilities you need from bathing in the pool outside, to playing pool in the games room. Management company could not have done more for a couple of questions we had, and the owner was lovely, staying patient with all the questions we had up front, and providing lots of really useful information. Very close to local shops, restaurants and other amenities, and best of all, such an easy drive to the Disney Parks. Next time we go, we will definitely be staying here again.

Fantastic home

We had a fantastic time in your house. The villa is close to the parks, but in a quiet location. It is well fitted out and has everything one could want. We were a party of 10, including 4 children, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We would strongly recommend the villa as a relaxing family base whilst visiting the parks. We will definitely return. Thank you from all of us.

Excellent Choice for Vacation

Our family of 4 (2 kids, 13 and 15) have just returned from an amazing couple of weeks at Carol's villa. The villas has everything you need for a super vacation - couches to chill on after the parks, internet to satisfy teens being online, pool to cool down and if you want to cook the kitchen is fully decked out. We were too lazy to cook most of the time and made the most of access to some great local restaurants - Long live Long Horn, Chuys, Menchies etc.. The villa is fabulously located - very close to the Disney parks and there are several large supermarkets a short drive away. Also worth mentioning that the pool gets sun in the afternoon - a plus as not all the villas get the sun at that time of day (good for swimming after the parks). Carol was also super responsive and made the whole booking process really easy - now all we have to do is book our next trip!

Beautiful home and thank you for all your help

We enjoyed our vacation very much and would like to thank you for all your help and patience throughout our first experience. We have stayed in Orlando a number of times before but this time was a very nice experience. Your villa was clean and nice. We enjoyed your attention to detail and the many amenities that you provided. I wanted to take this opportunity and thank you for providing us with a beautiful place and look forward to another opportunity.

Best home, compared to lots we have rented

Our family have just returned from a fantastic two weeks . The villa was a real home from home and we couldn't fault a single thing . Our two boys had an amazing time in the pool and games room , they were so upset to leave . This truly is what you would want from an Orlando villa , we have stayed in several different villas in the past and this was really the exception and Carol herself made all the process so easy , she couldn't do enough to ensure all questions covered . We look forward to returning and will be recommending it to family and friends . Thanks again Carol for an amazing holiday .

Property is a true gem

This was our first time to America as a family and this property is a true gem. The owner Carol could not have been more helpful from point of booking and always answered our questions quickly. It was great to get a phone call from Carol a few days before we left to check that we had all the information that we needed. The house itself is exactly as is shown in the pictures (and even mostly in our case, the sunshine). We are a family of six and the property was more than big enough. The house is very modern, clean and well decorated. The pool and games room were a real hit with the kids. Emerald Island resort is ideally located for all the parks and yet very quiet and secluded. It is also very close to restaurants and shops, which is really convenient after a long day out! I could not recommend this property enough!

Clean & Happy

Over all the house was clean and we enjoyed the stay. We did feel there was a lot that the owner wanted done this year that last years did not. The threats of extra charges for every little thing was a little to much. The beeping from the door alarm was quite annoying as well as there was no way to jut use the screen door as the alarm would continue to go off.

Owner Response:
I am pleased your enjoyed your stay in our home and hope we can welcome you back for another vacation. Can you please clarify extra charges as I haven't charged anything extra other than the rental rate which included tax and clean on departure. I would be grateful if you could advise. The security alarm on the door which leads to the pool area is for safety and part of the law within Florida. We therefore have to abide by the rules as do all owners of homes with private pools.

Beautiful house!

This house was beautiful, clean, and the whirlpool was great! The pool, although we paid the additional cost, never did heat up enough for my husband and myself to enjoy. We did contact the management company about the pool on the third day of our stay, and they came out the next day to work on the whirlpool. This house was great, and the game room was a great addition! I would highly recommend this house or any home from this rental company. The booking staff was always friendly, and willing to work with me.

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the last two weeks in your lovely villa in Florida. We had a great time and your home is a perfect base to explore the area, it's also a great place to relax when you've had enough of the parks .... the swimming pool and games room saw plenty of action.

This was my 1st time booking a vacation home. I spent my birthday at this property with 3 other girlfriends. This property had more than enough room, modern kitchen appliances, updated electronics, games room, pool and Jacuzzi. Grocery stores, restaurants, Walgreens, banks, nail salon are just a short drive away. This home is close to the parks. I look forward to spending my next birthday in this home.

Loved the villa!!!

We could not believe our luck when we first walked into the villa. The layout and décor is beautiful, it is well kept and you really have done everything possible to make it a great place to stay and call home for the holidays. Plus all the extra touches, such as baby buggies and travel cots, kitchen and bathroom essentials, DVDs and games etc are so thoughtful and really useful for the days when your feet just simply can't walk round another theme park! As for location, it really couldn't be more ideal. It seemed like we were only a few minutes from any of the parks - and never had a problem with traffic getting there either. Completely wonderful and very memorable holiday - thank you so much from all the Loach family!

Highly recommended villa, only a short drive away from all of Orlando's main attractions and shopping districts. The villa is both clean and comes complete with everything that you would need to cater for both family or friends. A true home away from home. The villa is situated in a friendly resort, and the security at the gates are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again, and I have done so three times now.

We had a wonderful time in your vacation home. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The games room was a huge hit, perfect for a house full of football players. We could tell you put time and effort in maintaining the house and it was appreciated by all the guests. Many rentals have broken down games in the game room but yours were well cared for. I would love to stay in the villa again, and many of the guys would like to book this villa for vacations with their families. Dan, Buffalo, NY, USA (January 2011)

Orlando is always the first place we think of when trying to choose any holiday and this villa is in a superb location! My family found the villa to be extremely cnveniient for the Disney Parks, in fact it was closer to some of the parks than the actual Disney Accommodation! On the days when we just needed to relax, I can't think of a more comfortable, spacious, beautifully clean and fun villa in which I would rather stay while there. We all adored the pool and could stay in there all day - in fact it sometimes has a greater attraction than the theme parks!!! Our holiday snaps are on our computer and your villa pops up so frequently and look so inviting, that we all wish we were back there. My son summed it up in one word - 'Awesome'. Jan Hales, U.K.

Our three generations of family (6 months to 60 years) found the villa comfortable and perfectly presented, clean and pristine. The pool, games room, books, TV and internet access kept all of us entertained including my 3 year old granddaughter who particularly like the pool. We particularly appreciated the quiet and secure location at Emerald Island and yet how close it was to shops, restaurants and of course the Disney Parks! No doubt we shall return to the parks in the future, and when we do we would like to be able to stay in your villa again; it did exactly what it said on the tin!
