Good location and close to Disney. My only disappointment was in the pack and play and the high chair (they were kinda dirty), and the high chair didn't have shoulder straps, so we didnt end up really using those, but the crib in the master were great. The wrong code was also given to us in our checkin email, so we were initially locked out, but the property manager was great even when we called her at midnight upon our arrival. ##### Kelley M.

Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Nice house, but hot tub was unusable We stayed 4 nights during a basketball tournament (7 games in 4 days). Our top 3 needs were: a house, a private pool, and a hot tub for post-game recovery. The home was clean and in a great location, but the hot tub was unusable, despite being clearly listed as an amenity and a key factor in choosing this property.When we asked to heat it, the host responded:“I strongly discourage you from heating the pool. Summer time… all sorts of grows thrive.”We replied that we understand about the pool, but we just needed the hot tub heated. He replied:“You can use the resort hot tub… when algae comes in at full vengents, \[it\] takes 2–3 times of the heating cost to bring it under control.”I asked once more for the hot tub heat, because it was that important to our stay. Host responded that:1. The hot tub cannot be heated separately from the pool2. Heating requires a 5-night minimum stay3. There’s a 50 activation fee after check-inNone of this was mentioned in the listing or booking processWhen we asked for a credit due to the misleading amenity, the host said:“The pool and tub are ‘available service at a cost,’ not a provided amenity.”This felt like a bait-and-switch with a somewhat dismissive response. We don’t mind paying for heat if needed, but it should’ve been clearly disclosed.If a working hot tub is important to your stay, you’ll want to clarify everything with the host up front. Otherwise, manage expectations; it may not be available even if listed. ##### Chris A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle D.

Apr 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Did the job Home could be amazing with a deep clean and updates. Great space but the furniture is very old and worn. The black couch is worn out, you sink when you sit down, very uncomfortable and hard to get out of. The shower in master is very large but the shower head is awful. It was super small and fixed directly to the wall, something you would see in the 80’s , needs to be updated. The carpets all need a deep clean or be removed. We had to wear our house slippers in the master bedroom at all times because of how dirty the carpet is in there. Only a comforter and sheets no blankets! We had to purchase blankets. The walls in the home need a good cleaning or repainted as well, Every baseboard had dirt and dust. Someone is NOT cleaning good. There is a channel guide on the wall and out of the 10 I tried everyone was incorrect. Needs updated. Limited towels only two per bedroom and they were old, mismatched, rough, smaller, and worn. Same with kitchen towel/rag mismatched only two and very worn out. We ended up purchasing a kitchen towel set to use. Garage was filthy, leaves, dirt, mud, and even chalk writing on the walls from prior guests. The washer and dryer are new a nice thou. The pool was nice but the furniture was awful. Made out of pvc pipes and very stained and dirty. One a positive, very quick response, easy in and out, large home, nice pool, & mattress was comfortable . Home just needs some love. ##### Melissa P.

There were 2 hand towels 1 dish towel. I spoke with the owner. He questioned our enquiry. He was told we had to purchase sufficient towels( $70) The following day I spoke with the property Manager to report the pool hot tub jets were not working. She advised there would be a pool repair the following day. That did not happen… in the following 7-10 days. I then discovered that same issue was documented in a past review way back in 2021. We think we should of at least been reimbursed for the towels… or even an offer made?? All in all. not huge issues. both the owner and manager were quick to reply and quite pleasant. very clean and functional property ##### Peter M.

Clean. Great location to be able to hit Disney and only an hour drive to to Cocoa beach and Daytona. Pool was pristine upon arrival. Images of property are dead on, you get exactly what is shown. Only things to note is, there are no staples at all, I am used to having coffee spices, etc. at other vrbo’s and rentals (I have been using these sites for years). Typical of rentals, on pans and knives being used and abused. No working can opener and had to buy pizza cutter as knives would not even cut lettuce. Do wish they would let you know game room was not air conditioned, reading previous reviews guess that is normal for Florida but this was our first time renting in Florida. Unfortunately, we got hit by hurricane Ian and lost power at 8 pm on Wednesday and the pool got trashed when a some of the screens were ripped off. The owners were out of town so we were unable to get hold of them in a timely manner to make a decision on what to do. We ultimately decided to leave at about 1pm Thursday since we still had no power and pool was unusable. We had no clue when power would be re established or pool cleaned up since there was so much devastation in Florida. The clubhouse was still closed as well. This is definitely an exception and no fault of the owners. They have agreed to refund us one of our two days when they get back in town 10/9, which technically they did not have to do (buy insurance if you want to be covered for natural disasters). Under the circumstances, I would have refunded both days affected by the hurricane as a courtesy since there was no way to know how long it would take to clean up and restore power. It was our choice not to chance it and leave. We wanted to make the most of our last two days in Florida and go to Destin. Luckily I was in a position to pay for another Vrbo….there was time in my life I would have been stuck with no power and nothing to do. ##### Shelley B.

We really enjoyed the property at Emerald Island Resort! A big highlight for us was the crib as we had a 3 month old with us. It was perfect in the master bedroom and gave us peace of mind that our baby had a safe place to sleep and could still be close to us. It was a very nice crib-better than anything you could get at a hotel. The drive to Disney World was normally 15-20 minutes to each park, it would be a bit longer (30ish minutes) if we headed home at rush hour, just for planning purposes for anyone looking at the property. We felt very safe at the house and I felt comfortable running early in the morning prior to going to the parks! We all enjoyed the pool, it did not need to be heated in September! Our only small complaint is the master bedroom shower was not cleaned upon our arrival, with used washcloths on the ground and hair in the shower. My husband cleaned it. I would have contacted someone but my husband did not tell me about this until our final day he just cleaned it for us. We would definitely stay again and had a lovely stay overall :) ##### Marianna S. Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel O.

I advise getting heating for pool and hot tub. The home has such great shading that it was cold on windy days. We did go to the clubhouse on those days, which was not crowded and had other things like putt putt to do. Dennis was very responsive and helpful. Margaret with property management also took care of issues promptly. We would stay again when we go to Disney. ##### shannon j. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley S.

Property was beautiful, the atmosphere at the pool and the clubhouse were very fun, and the house was clean and spacious. There is an alarm and a special lock on the back door to prevent anyone from going out to the pool. There is also a fence the full length of the pool. I loved all of the security features since we had little ones with us. We paid to have the pool heated, and it was warm when we got there. The game room was wonderful. We couldn’t even hear the kids playing in there. Communication with the owner was very timely and informative. The only “complaint” I have is each vehicle had to pay $20 for a gate access card. I wouldn’t have minded if I was told about the charge. I was a little blindsided at the clubhouse. Overall we loved the property and we hope can come back! ##### Ashley S.

This was our 1st experience in renting a house for my husband and our 2 teenagers. All communication with Dennis was very prompt, accurate and very informative. We arrived for a 5 night stay in the middle of November. We found the kitchen to be well stocked for cooking meals when eating in. The only issue was that the electric can opener and the manual one did not work so we bought one when we did grocery shopping at the nearby Publix. The sleeping arrangements were very comfortable for all of us. We all slept great on the beds. The garden style soaking tub was wonderful to have after a long day at the parks. We paid the additional money each night for the pool and hot tub to be heated. This property was about a 15 min drive to Disney. Overall we had a great time here and would definitely visit the house again. ##### Jeff H. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### pamela g.

We wanted a place to call our own at the end of a long day at the parks. The pool was great to have too. The only thing we would’ve liked was a grill upgrade. But we made due without it. :) ##### Sallie E. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ashley D.
