4 bedroom home right by Disney World!
Cedar Key is a very spacious executive home overlooking the woodland conservation area in the high quality, resort community Emerald Island which is only a few minutes drive from Disney World. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a brilliant games room.
Emerald Island is a unique resort style gated community with great facilities for all guests to enjoy including a pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness room, Internet room and a video arcade. There is also children's playground, a sand volleyball court and a nature trail to explore. Being only three miles from the entrance to Disney World it is perfectly located for visiting all the attractions. Shops, 24-hour supermarkets and restaurants are only a few minutes away on US192. The enclave section features executive, more spacious homes on larger lots.
Cedar Key has south facing pool and beautiful views over the wooded conservation area. It is a very peaceful place to build up your energy after all that work on the golf course or in the park, without being overlooked from the back.
Our pool and adjoining spa are surrounded by a huge deck area which is in the sunshine all day. If you get too hot then you can spend some time in the large covered lanai area with its overhead fan. There are plenty of reclining sun chairs as well as a table and chairs for dining outside while enjoying the view and there is a child safety fence in place to keep young children away from the pool unless supervised.
There are many 4 bedroom homes in Emerald Island ranging in size from 1500sq ft to 1900 sq ft. Cedar Key is unique in the community as it has nearly 3000sq of air-conditioned space for your and your family to spread out. There are two Master bedroom suites one with a King bed and one with a Queen. There is a kids bunk bedroom with a full bed and a twin bed which can sleep three and the final bedroom has two twin bedrooms.
Each bedroom has a TV and DVD player. In the rest of the house you will find a large family room and a brilliant air conditioned games room with a pool table, Foosball and two networked Xbox 360 games consoles, each with its own 42in plasma TV. There is also a breakfast nook and separate dining room. The fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and microwave as well as a separate laundry area should help you feel perfectly comfortable during your stay.
Just about everything is included in Cedar Key. It has loads of "extras" at no extra charge such as high-speed wireless Internet, DVDs and board games, a baby equipment package including high chairs, strollers and baby monitors.
Our fully licensed home is managed locally so you always have someone to call on in case of a problem.
In order to maintain a high quality of service for all our guests we do not allow pets or smoking in the villa although we do provide ashtrays for use outside.

Nice place and would stay there again.Few issues with the pool heat the first few days and some issues with the freezer but were eventually taken care of.
My daughter and I came to Orlando for a candlelight concert. The house was perfect, love the pool! The location is great, we could get to Orlando easily and lots of places to eat! The house was stocked well for our needs. The community is very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the stay!Kara
BEWARE - if you ask & pay for pool heat expect it not to be done! Despite repeated attempts to contact the host, most of which were unanswered, the pool heater was never turned on. With the help of Vrbo it has taken me 4 weeks to obtain a refund, no compensation offered from the host. The villa itself is beautiful.
Do not rent from them. I was a victim of a bait and switch. After traveling to Florida I was informed the house was not available because the pool heater wasn’t working. I was then left hanging waiting for them to make alternate arrangements and was shuffled between 2 other houses that also did not have a functioning pool. The property manager kept making excuses until I finally gave up knowing he was a bold faced liar. To top it all off, when I went by the house that i actually rented, there was another family in it. I have done many VRBO rentals over the years and never had such a terrible experience.

Pros: The house was beautiful…. So much space and the game room was a real treat. Having 3 bathrooms was wonderful. Everyone Having their space helped. Being close to Disney was great. Only 15 minute drive. Day trip to Coco beach was great ( 1 hour away) Cons : Communication with the management team. I never received check in / check out instructions. The number on the Vrbo app for them is not correct. Got to the house and the number to Palm State property management was on the door. Had to call. The listing does not say that is 30 to heat the hot tub. I asked for it. It never worked. In earlier reviews Oct 2025 and Dec 2025 said the hot tub did not work Still having issues with it working. Need to fix. If you rent a house with hot tub and pool. Why do you have to pay extra? It should be as part of the rental. Overall … House was great. Location great.Hot tub / pool ….a problemCommunication an issue.
Our stay was good, not great. We booked last minute and were happy to find the type of property we were looking for. On the positive side, the house was large, quiet and fairly clean. Unfortunately the negatives out weighed the positives by a lot. We paid 30. per day for pool and spa heat which was definitely not turned on. I checked the water daily with a thermometer and it never changed . I understand it wasn't refundable though. The wifi did not work at all, The ice maker didn't work, there were some stains on the carpets and a couple of the doors had holes in them. We were also asked to start the towels and dishwasher in checkout but there wasn't any soap provided to do either. We did buy dishwasher soap but started the towels without any. Being there over a weekend and a short stay the office was closed so I was unable to get any issues resolved. All in all, the house was comfortable and we had a decent time

We had a very disappointing experience with this property due to poor communication and serious maintenance issues.Before check-in, I had to repeatedly contact VRBO to get the check-in information that was supposed to be sent three days in advance. The host completely stopped responding, and only after VRBO intervened did we finally receive instructions, the night before arrival.Once we arrived, we discovered a serious roach issue in the kitchen. Every time the light was turned on, small roaches scattered from the counters and surrounding areas.The biggest problem was the refrigerator and freezer, which stopped working almost immediately after check-in. The host never responded to messages or calls. A third-party management company handled maintenance, but they repeatedly gave us the runaround, promised repair times they never kept, and provided conflicting information. We checked in on Friday, and a repair technician did not arrive until Thursday night, nearly a week later. Even then, the refrigerator only worked for a little over 24 hours before failing again.We would have been understanding if the company had simply been honest and transparent. Instead, the repair technician showed me communication records confirming the management company misrepresented when he had been contacted and when repairs were actually scheduled. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this property.
This home is a great option for a large family or two small families to enjoy the Disney parks. There were only the two of us, but we liked what the house had to offer. The only disappointment was what was not included. When we arrived two of the three bathrooms had less than half a roll of toilet paper each, and the main had none at all. No paper towels, no dish cloths, and only one dish towel. No extra garbage bags supplied. The pool was very warm, and we discovered the temperature set to 97 degrees so that had to be adjusted. The skimmer basket fell apart and pieces were floating in the pool. Pool maintenance came once and really didn't do much. The spa worked great. I sent a message to the management company on our second day and got no response. I'd recommend this place but be prepared to bring or go out and buy any "extras".
Upon arrival I received a door code that was all. I got to the house to find the fridge unplugged and leaking water everywhere. I called the host SEVERAL times with no response. I called the numbers listed in the house. They were all disconnected. I then called VRBO they gave me a 60 credit for the issue. Then I found 1 roll of toilet paper in the whole house. Then found that only one toilet truly worked correct out of 3. Then found the faucet would not turn off in the bathroom. Had to go buy toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and ice chests for my food that was in the house already. Then I started waking up to roaches in the house. Discusting. So I called yet again. Got nothing. Then my final straw, the water got turned off on the whole house while we were at the beach. The AC stopped working and the house got to 80 degrees. I called VRBO and talked for over an HR before just booking a new hotel and leaving this house. This house is a disgusting wreck. Do your self a favor and NEVER STAY HERE!!!! I am still trying to work with VRBO to get some money back for the train wreck of a house that I rented. There also was NO check out information at all.
