Florida sunshine
We enjoyed our family vacation at this house in emerald island. The owner provided all check in details and instructions well in advance of our stay to create a stress free holiday. Upon arrival the house was clean and inviting and the heated pool and spa were perfect and relaxing during our stay. Thanks for sharing your beautiful Florida property!

Perfect
This house was perfect! Close to Disney and all amenities but still hidden away from all the businesses. Wonderful place to come home to after a long day at Disney and jump in the pool. Very clean, spacious, safe and equipped with everything, even a crockpot and corkscrew! We felt at home here.
All the staff was super friendly and the Host was more than accommodating, very helpful and quick to answer emails.
Thank you for making our stay a memorable one!

Family fun
The owner was very responsive to all inquiries. The house was clean and had basic kitchen dishes. The hot tube was the highlight of the stay each night with the family. It was close to all our planned visits to the different parks, even the hour away from Busch gardens wasn’t too bad. I would recommend staying to family and friends. Thank you Patrick for allowing us to relax at your rental!

Fantastic location, large enough for all of us
My sister and I stayed here for our Disney Wine and Dine races while the kids stayed back with their grandmother. It was the perfect location, close enough to the parks to get there on time for the races, but nice and quiet for our early bed times and early wake-ups. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out, and even space for the kids to play while my brother-in-law had to jump on a quiet work call. It was very comfy, cozy, and peaceful. Just what we needed.

The house was in very good condition.
The home was a good price for value and location. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The large master bath was wonderful. We really only used the house as a place to eat, get clean and sleep so in that respect it was a fantastic value. It was about 7 minutes from Maingate Disney using Sherbeth Road (Backstage Rd) so as a former cast member it was nice. There are no ceiling fans in the home and the a/c was force set to one setting, so it got stuffy at night. For our comfort we had to buy oscillating fans instead of using the owners box fans. It was a very good safe home for the price, and one I would certainly recommend if you were on a budget.
The owner lives in Great Britain and could use some lessons on patience, and tolerance, but other than that it's a good deal, if you are not accustomed to the more luxurious homes we have rented in the past ten years with Homeaway. The property gets a 4/5 due to the owner, electric water heater, and a/c setting and no fans.

Excellent property, in perfect location, very helpful owner! 5*
So pleased we chose this villa, from very first contact Patrick the owner was very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Perfect location for all theme parks, with plenty of options for groceries near by.
Suited our group of 7 perfectly (4 adults, 3 kids).

Perfect for a family vacation!
The house was perfect for our family of 6. The location and peace of mind that comes with staying within a gated community was great. Overall very clean and pleasant. Pool and hot tub were a nice bonus. Patrick and the management agency were friendly and quick to answer all questions. We would definitely stay here again!

The home is lovely. We vacationed for our Christmas. Very few problems during our stay.
I brought my family to enjoy a warm holiday. My daughter, son, his wife & 2 grandsons. The home is very comfortable. Housekeeping could improve considering the price. I'd advise anyone to verify the check out time. Ours was 11am housekeeping was knocking on the door before 10am. Repeatedly kept coming back despite showing them the checkout time on my reservation was 11. Not to mention we were up very late cleaning everything spotless. The only thing they needed to do was wash the bedding in the 3 bedrooms we used. We even vacuumed the floors. They were relentless asking to come in to clean around us. I obliged since we couldn't even get our vehicle packed for them knocking on the door. They were pleasantly surprised on entry kept looking around. There wasn't anything to clean so they started washing the bedding while a guy started spraying the pool area which we had done the evening before. There was literally nothing for them to do but the bedding. One morning there were muddy footprints where the pool cleaner had came in and out. Of course I cleaned and sprayed it all out. I got the highchair out for my 1year old grandson there was food stuck all over it and in the seat. Scrubbed it down before he used it and again before I put it up. The rules are very strict about the trash and the bags & color of bags. The neighbors across the street shoved trash in overfilling our can and used the wrong color trash bags not even tied. They did the same to our recycling can. Theirs was open it was so full. The rules said the lids must close. Idky they didn't go to trash compactor but sure hoped they didn't think it was us. Since I had only 1 bag in the garbage can went out late to put in another and found they had filled it to the top. Requested a Disney themed bedding room for my grandsons and was notified just before arrival the boys bedding had been stolen and not replaced yet and all they had was girl bedding. Not a big deal. It's pretty clear if you want your deposit back you have to clean the house. I wouldn't pay anyone $100 to wash some sheets. I paid for the pool to be heated, little did I know the heat would only be turned on for 8 eight hours in the daytime. We wanted the heat on evenings & night. Since we took my grandsons to Disney in the DAY as well as went on a deep sea fishing charter in the DAY. We were packing the fridge last for a 12 hour drive. So aggravated by the cleaners, we forgot the last 3 expensive items. We made the best of it.
