Emarald island resort is a massive resort featuring condos and homes for rent or purchase…read moreconveniently located just a few miles away from the Disney parks. Very large neighborhood that seemed to have as many live in residents as it did tourists like ourselves who was renting a house while in town for our daughters cheer comp and to visit some Disney parks. As you pull into this large gated community you are met with lovely dolphin water fountains and 24/7 on site security. Once you pass through a security you see the fountain which is the center point for a roundabout. The forsr exit leads you into houses the second exit into soem condos and more homes which are further down the road. The 3rd exit will take you into the welcome center. The welcome center is where I assume condo renters check in but it also where you get your badge for the severity gate. In that welcome center is a fitness area, free on site putt putt course, an outdoor swimming pool and access to the first of 3 neighborhood playgrounds. Across the street was a small, simple and nice email as use land resort walking trail. We stayed in a house called stitch magic in the back of the neighborhood a few miles from the welcome center so we didn't spend hardly any time there. Although on one visit we noticed the pool Area had a live dj and a pretty busy tiki bar. The free putt putt course and walking trails were a nice and fun touch. Our house we rented was very large and very clean and well maintained. You walk in and imemditly to the left is one of the queen sized bedrooms. To the right was a bathroom, wall in laundry and entrance to the garage. The garage was turned into a game room and features a ping on my table, dart board and other gaming options. Walking back inside and continuing on to the left Last the first bedroom was a dining area off the kitchen with a large table. Off that room was a full Kitchen and another small dining area and table. If you. I've on past the kitchen you walk into a large open living room With nice couches and a large tv. Off that room was access to the main level master bedroom with a king sized bed and personal bathroom. Also off the living room was a set of stairs that takes you up to 3 more bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms. The bedroll Immediately to the right features two kids beds decked with Pixar deformations. The room next to that was a Disney princess themed room with a queen sized bed. Back out in the hall way the room next to the princess room was another full bathroom. Next to that bathroom was another bedroom with a queen sized bedroom that also boasted its own personal full bathrom. Downstairs off the kitchen dining room And master bedroom you had sliding doors that take you into your own personal covered pool that was a nice size and featured some on site water inflatables. Overall we had an amazing stay here with the house we rented called "Stitch magic". Very large and clean. Very close to the ESPN WideWorld of Sports where my daughter was cheering and very close to Disney parks and all kinds of good dining options. The resort had really cool And nice on site amenities. My older daughters enjoyed walking to the nearby on-site playground as the one here was more secluded and not very busy. So something enjoyable for everyone while boasting good comfort as well.

Surprisingly enough I was very disappointed , the house smell like mildew, the carport clearly NOT clean. And one of the sinks in the upstairs bathroom backs up with black particles. The security lock to the pool area is hanging off from the wall. I've added the pictures to this email. I've contact property manager to fix the sink of course I got a voicemail. I had to cover the furniture to sit down because it's NASTY!!!! I was waiting to send response and photos at the end of my stay. However my family and I are disappointed. I'm sure as we continue our week. I will be updating the home website with my pictures and reviews. I would hate for ANYONE else to be in the position. To my surprise I couldn't add my review to their website. And when I checked a few weeks later the owner updated the website site with a great review during the dates that I stayed at the property. False advertising!!!!

A few issues during our 2 night, 3 day visit: AC didn't work properly, horrible coffee, ice maker in refrigerator didn't work, refrigerator filter was out, we had to pay a cleaning fee but clean up and do laundry before we left. Was a quiet sleep, but I was exhausted from driving so..... The pool was warm, not a way to cool off anywhere on a hot day. Also was told that it was $100/day to use the pool!!!! We didn't pay, but it wasn't advertised as costing more, so..... I probably be back here.

We checked in very late at night and went right to sleep so we didn't really have a desire to check the cleanliness and we went straight to a park the next day. As the week went on, my husband and I had been experiencing respiratory and skin issues that got progressively worse, especially when we went to bed. This definitely made the trip less enjoyable as it lasted well after we left the resort. We just assumed it was poor air quality in the unit. At the end of our stay, as I was reaching under the sink area, I viewed visible black mold and the area was wet. We went to the front desk and reported it and showed them pictures. Clearly, the cleaning staff should have seen that during their regular cleanings, but failed to do anything about it. It took management 2 weeks to get back to us as we at least wanted our cleaning fee refunded and possibly some compensation for our discomfort and inconvenience for their negligent cleaning practices. After several follow ups, they only agreed to half of the over $200 fee. For what we paid to stay there, and the poor condition of the place, charging a cleaning fee is an absolute joke.

The home was fully furnished in addition to travel friendly amenities. The location is close to almost everything you could ever want to do and/or need. Many restaurants, gas stations, shopping plazas, etc. We have decided that anytime we decide to vacation in Orlando we will be sure to stay here again. If you're in the area I suggest you check out this location. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Nice place and nicely decorated. We were here almost 2 weeks on vacation and the only complaints I…read morehave is they didn't supply enough toilet paper, even though we requested and didn't respond back. They did send out maintenance once to replace all the tv remote batteries. Out of 3 maintenance requests, that was the only thing that was taken care of. Being a private townhome rental, there's no maid service but they do have washer and dryer's. Quiet place, daily trash pick up and you park right in front of your front door. Easy to get to and there's plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. Not far from Walt Disney World. I would give it five stars except we were a disappointed in the unanswered maintenance request responses.

We were told someone would contact us on a refund, also no. This company is a complete joke.

Beware of Booking with ExclusivePrivateVillas.com or Jeeves Florida Rentals…read more My recent experience booking a luxury villa through ExclusivePrivateVillas.com--which was secretly managed by Jeeves Florida Rentals--was frustrating, unsafe, and ultimately retaliatory. From the moment we checked in, the home had multiple issues: Broken air conditioning in the middle of Florida summer. No hot water in one of the bedrooms. A dangerously loose brick near the pool, which caused someone to slip. A bypassed pool alarm, which violates Florida law, done with permission by Jeeves--not us. We reported these problems immediately and repeatedly. Multiple members of their property management team came into the house and said nothing--no updates, no repairs, no accountability. After the stay, I followed up to request a partial refund for the unresolved issues. Instead of a response, I was blindsided the next day with an accusation that a bong had been found in the house and that this could be turned over to the police. No timestamped evidence. No proof of use. No prior mention of any concern while we were there. To me, this feels like pure retaliation for speaking up. What's worse? I was never even told Jeeves Florida Rentals managed the home until after everything went wrong. I booked through ExclusivePrivateVillas in good faith. Now they're charging a $350 damage fee without clarity, while still ignoring the major safety and comfort issues we faced. As a group of minority professionals, we also found the unspoken insinuations both offensive and discriminatory. This experience was not luxury--it was hostile and unprofessional. Avoid these companies if you value your safety, respect, or peace of mind while traveling.

There is a Walt-mart less than 2 minutes away, for all your basic needs. You are not in a hotel. THE BAD: The gate keepers remind me of Border Agents at immigration checkpoints, if you have guests visiting it's a little of a hassle. You are renting from homeowners, so, keep that in mind, they want their peace and quiet, so, you really can't get too loud like playing music too loud and such. We checked in on a Saturday and the water slides and splash area we closed, and they remained closed for the entire week! That's is BS! THE UGLY: A lot of this homes have turned their two car garage into the play room area. So, the entire garage is set up like a man cave, which is awesome, except that the garage doors in this particular home weren't sealed properly. And we found a lot of bugs creeping their way in. It's humid it's Florida, I understand but just keep that in mind. And found some cockroaches inside the house too. Overall, not a good experience maybe someone else will. Judge for yourself.

I would have to agree with the last reviewer. The security up front would be very impatient and…read morerude. One night I came back after the Disney parks and my pass wasn't scanning and I had done it exactly as it's shown in the example that's in the front. The security was being condescending and rude--mad that he had to come out of his little office and help me. (Isn't this your job?) I was trying to show him how I did it and he was tugging at my pass aggressively, insisting that what I was doing wasn't the right way, when it's clearly pictured how to scan the pass on the scanner. When he scanned it, he used a different method so I had every right to have had trouble. I said "have a good night" and he yelled at me "SAY THANK YOU". Terrible ugly people. Every night for the 3 nights I've stayed they treated me like I was some sort of criminal. I'm paying good money to stay in this community on vacation only to be treated like trash Other than that the house and the community is quiet and relaxing, but the experience I had with security would keep me from staying here ever again. .
