Property is beautiful and clean. It could use a freah coat of paint in some places for average wear and tear. Manager is very easy to get a hold of and polite. Beautiful pool area.Only complaints are that it could use more pillows, blankets, towels, and cookwear. I'd suggest getting more towels especially, including bathroom hand towels and washcloths.The house is great though. We would stay here again.

Great location for Disney with easy access to all parks. Travel time never exceeded about 20 minutes. The house layout works well for large families and provides plenty of space. Kitchen appliances were good, the washer and dryer were nice, and water pressure and hot water were excellent. The owners were responsive and addressed each of our concerns quickly. The air conditioner was not working upon arrival but was repaired promptly. Cleaners were sent within 24 hours after concerns of cleanliness were reported.The house shows noticeable wear. The white stair railings are very dirty. Bed linens and bedspreads are thin, worn, and need updating. The primary bedroom has no closet and no dresser, so there is no place to hang or store clothing. Two suitcase stands are provided, so expect to live out of suitcases. Bedside tables are small and not large enough to hold clothing.Downstairs was very dusty. Upstairs bathroom floors were dirty and there was toothpaste and soap scum present. The front upstairs bathroom also has a strong mildew smell. The pool had not been cleaned and the deep end contained debris and many bugs that had to be removed before swimming. The pool toy bin contains broken items and the pool noodles are unusable.The kitchen does not include baking sheets, foil, or anything allowable for baking. There were plenty of bath towels but no washcloths or hand towels. No cleaning supplies were provided, so we had to purchase products to wipe down the counters.

We had a wonderful stay at Islands of Magic, the owners responded to all our questions and seem very friendly. We were given clear instructions on how to access the property and the Emerald Isle resort is close to shops and restaurants and the parks, it felt very safe and the villas are nicely spaced. When we arrived, keyless entry works well, the villa was nice and clean, the beds are very comfortable and the towels nice and soft, modern appliances in the kitchen and utility. We loved spending time in the back yard, such a peaceful private area with no rear neighbours, the villa is very well located in the resort. We had meals out at Black Angus steakhouse, (very good) Cracker Barrel (surprisingly good strip steak), Bahama Breeze (average), New York Beer Project (very good food) Kobe Japanese (big portions). We had a fantastic time at islands of Magic, and would love to return, thank you for letting us stay in your home.

We stayed here from the 5th to the 19th August.From start to finish the experience of booking and staying in this property has been perfect.Mayra and Gerson have been amazingly helpful and quick to respond to any questions we have had.There was seven of us in our party including three teenage granddaughter's who were able to have their own bedrooms and bathrooms resulting in no arguments. The house was immaculately clean and presented so I cannot fault it in any way.We have been coming to Florida since 1984 and this has to be one of the best locations and property we have stayed in.If you want space and rooms in a wonderful property this has to be the one to go for.
