Great experience and exactly what I was looking for!; [Dory's Magic]
What a great home, I've been booking with Airbnb for 5 years and stay all over. This by far has to be the best place for me and my family! Everything about this home is perfect, spacious, clean, perfect for large family's or just a couple of us. Anything you want Sri had, it accommodated my 7 year old, my 17 year old and my 22 year old, so much room and things to do at the house. I don't have to look for another place as long as I go to Disney. This will be my home away from home for as long as I come to Disney. Sri even suggested that we book with him direct on Emerald Island rentals site to save on 3rd party fees, which is what we will do going forward. Anyone who stays here will be glad and NOT disappointed. Highly recommend staying at Dory's Magic!

We had a wonderful stay!; [Nemo's Magic]
Property was clean and fit my family of 9 very well. The host was responsive and open to all communication. House could use some updates, but still very neat and clean. Home was stocked with plenty of amenities and appliances. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Spring Break Trip; [Simba's Magic]
The location of the home is wonderful close to everything.The home is advertised just like the photos you won’t be disappointed. I had two small issues with garbage disposal and bathroom. I called and the problem was fixed immediately . The customer service is also outstanding. I will definitely be returning next year for spring break. Thank You Emerald Island

Magic by name and indeed MAGIC!; [Emerald Magic]
We stayed here for 2 weeks prior to Easter with our grandchildren and I have to say it was perfect, from its location, to its size, the pool and the games room! The booking process was easy and Sri was so helpful during the process and came back immediately with answers to any questions. I have already recommended this property to a friend who is visiting Orlando next year and we would definitely use again when we visit again! Perfect base when visiting Disney and the magic doesn’t stop when you leave the the gates of Disney!!

Best Family Accommodations for Disney and Universal!; [Tropical Magic]
We have reserved homes with Emerald Island Rentals for several years and every experience has been excellent. Our most recent stay in March 2025 at Tropical Magic was our favorite home yet. The owner is fantastic - communication is prompt and he puts in the full effort to resolve any issues immediately. These rentals are perfect for a family vacation to Disney and Universal for providing a relaxing and peaceful space after returning home from the theme parks. Having a private pool and spa with an outdoor grill is very nice to cook a meal and eat outside enjoying the sound of the many songbirds that serenaded us this spring. The ride to Disney parks is about 10 minutes and Universal about 40 minutes. These homes are clean, well-maintained and the Emerald Island Resorts has beautiful landscaping, basketball court, shuffleboard, tennis and pickle ball. This is the only place we will stay during our Orlando vacations, highly recommend!

Book Direct, highly recommended; [Disney Magic]
Having stayed at Emerald Island for the last 18 years, booking direct for the stay is absolutely the way to go. The support, help and assistance is outstanding. You do not necessarily get this booking independently. We incurred some issues and Sri and the team were immediately on it. First class. Sri was 100% on it from the initial selecting and booking, right through to the end of the stay. Never had to wait for responses. Definitely feel valued as a customer. Thank you :)

Great place to stay; [Tropical Magic]
This property suited our family perfectly! The pool and spa are great. Lots of space for everyone (9 of us). Close to all Disney parks, grocery shopping close by. There were plenty of towels for the pool and bathrooms as well as extra blankets if needed. The games room is awesome!

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE; [Pluto's Magic]
My family and I vacationed in Kissimmee and stayed in this amazing house. It was bright, clean, comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed the pool and the pool table very much. We had an issue on the first day but maintenance responded immediately. We also needed to extend our stay, which is not always possible with rentals, but we were very lucky. Thank you to everyone involved. I would highly recommend this place.

Perfect Vacation; [Emerald Magic]
The house was just perfect for mine and my extended family. We had 3 adults and 4 kids (teens) and there was room to spare. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals and the game room was enjoyed by the kids. We payed to heat the pool and spa and it was well worth it for our days off of the parks. Sri was great to work with and addressed any concerns I had promptly. We didn’t use any of the resort amenities due to being too busy. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone considering it!

Holiday Vacation stay; [Timon's Magic]
My family and I stayed at Timon's Villa to celebrate the holidays. We have stayed at Emerald Island before but this was our first time at this particular villa. The villa itself could use a little TLC. The resort itself is very nice and we felt really safe. We will probably stay at this property again.

We had a great time. It was my daughter's 5th birthday and we decided to celebrate at Disney and this place was a huge hit. The owner was very responsive and kept us updated on everything, every step of the way. Disney was super close. In fact, everything was just a few minutes drive away. We are heading back to Disney next year again and are looking forward to staying here again.

5 star accommodation; [Simba's Magic]
Simba's Magic Villa was a great place to stay. Our group had 15 people and we could stay comfortably. My one advice is to make sure you read everything carefully as there are many details that will inform what you pack for your trip. We wanted to use the pool but it was too cold and I didn't know about the heating until later. I do realize this was an oversight on my part. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I appreciated communications from Sri, thank you.

Just back from a fabulous stay at Emerald Magic Villa in Emerald Island. Where do I start!

Fantastic Stay at Simba's Magic!; [Simba's Magic]
We stayed at Simba's Magic from August 14th to August 31st and had an absolutely incredible experience. From the very beginning, communication with the owner, Sri, was top-notch. He was fantastic throughout the booking process and made everything smooth in the lead-up to our stay. The home itself is magnificent – spacious, fully equipped, and ideal for a family vacation. A special shout-out to the beautiful pool, pool area, and spa, which were perfect for relaxing after a day at the parks. The cinema room was another highlight – it was excellent and added an extra bit of magic to our stay. Emerald Island Resort is in a fantastic location, super convenient for visiting the Disney parks. It's also close to US192, which has great restaurants and gift shops for added convenience. Overall, this was a brilliant vacation, and we will absolutely be booking with Sri again! Highly recommended.

Our Holiday; [Pluto's Magic]
We were planning our 3 week vacation in Florida and everyone agreed they wanted to go back to Emerald Island Resort as it was close to everything but when you were in your villa it was so quiet that you felt miles away. This time we rented out Pluto's Magic and we were not disappointed! Everything was perfect, just as we expected, the pool area was clean, and had plenty of seating, the children couldn't decide on going in the water or playing pool or table football in the garage. The beds were so comfortable, people had trouble getting up in the morning. All in all a great holiday home in the thick of all the action (only 15 mins from the gates of Disney!), would highly recommend and will be coming back to Emerald Island on our next visit to Florida.

Excellent; [Stitch's Magic]
We really enjoyed the house. It was very clean and spacious. The pool area was our favourite as it was very hot in Florida while we were there and this allowed us to cool down during the day and night. The colour changing lights in the pool were a delight with the adults as well as the kids. There was nothing we were in need of during our stay. I would definitely recommend the resort as well as the house. We have been going to the resort since 2013 and was very impressed with the upkeep of the grounds, clubhouse and the houses for rent.

Can’t wait to go back.; [Emerald Magic]
We flew to Florida for our daughter’s dance competition and this home was perfect. Location was close to Disney and more than enough room for our family as well as for a few friends who joined us later on our trip too. The house had everything you needed and then some. The gated community is beautiful as well as the property. Management was friendly and quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. Someone came to clean the pool during our stay as well and he is one of the sweetest people as well. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out it was a great experience. The owner is great with communication and very nice to work with. Highly recommend staying here if you plan on traveling to the Orlando area. We will definitely be back and book again with Sri and his properties. We stayed for a week and it was a great experience overall.

The most amazing villa; [Disney Magic]
We stayed here for a family holiday, there was 11 of us in total. The Disney magic villa can fit up to 16 people and there is plenty of room for everyone without tripping over each other. The 4 adult rooms were clean, had plenty of wardrobe space and the beds were extremely comfortable. The 3 children’s themed bedrooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, our children loved the themes. The kitchen space was amazing and had everything you could possibly need. The outside space was throughly enjoyed by all and the games room was an extra bonus and brilliantly themed. The only thing we had trouble with was being able to control the tv sets, they were rather complicated. When we arrived Sri had laid out some coffee tea, soaps, wipes and other welcome goodies to start us off with. This was very much appreciated. Emerald island resort is a lovely, safe resort to stay at with plenty of restaurants 5 minutes away. Easy access to Disney World (15 minutes away) and universal (35 minutes) We will 100% be using Emerald Island Rentals in the future and will be recommending to family and friends to book with Sri.

Great time at Disney Magic - Emerald Island Resort; [Disney Magic]
We had a great time. Very easy check in instructions. I was hesitant as other places we’ve stayed with security gates into the neighborhoods were not very pleasant and took a long time, but not here. We followed the easy instructions provided to us in advance and got in and out of the gates with ease every time. We loved the pool and hot tub and we were so close to the theme parks we were visiting. Will stay here again.
