Emerald Island Resort Kissimmee/Orlando Florida - Guest Reviews
Reviews of our privately owned BOOK-DIRECT vacation rentals
Great stay at Nemo's yet again. [Nemo's Magic]
My two daughters, boyfriend, and husband (and my wife and I the last four nights) as well as our five grandchildren had a wonderful time at this awesome pool house. What more could you ask for? Pool contests and foosball in the garage. The kids spent countless hours in the nicely heated pool. You don't know what you're missing until you have gone out in the early morning with a cup of coffee and sit in a HOT tub. We cooked Steaks on the supplied gas grill one night. Emerald Island is a super resort as well, with great staff, free mini-golf, did some trips to the basketball court on-site, what a time we all had. Did our traditional nature trail walk. And so so many things within close driving distance.
The only complaint I have when I come to this place is having to leave! This is the fifth time we have stayed at Emerald, and there is a reason we have NEVER considered anyplace else.
You would be nuts to stay in a hotel room.
Lovely time and will return [Nemo's Magic]
We arrived for our 2 week stay on 13th October, pre arrival instructions were very easy to follow, and the the villa was lovely. First few days we had issues with the pool heating but my emails were responded too promptly and someone came out to fix the problem on the same day
I even received a phone call from the owner to ensure all was then ok which it was. Prior to our trip I enquired about birthday banners or balloons as it was a party members birthday, these were all up and looked perfect for our arrival
The villa decor itself is slightly dated but was still clean and for us everything was perfect We will definitely be returning to Nemos Magic.
Beautiful Home [Nemo's Magic]
My family and I arrived a little early and we had no problem with accessing the vacation. Everything was nice and clean. The pool was nice and clean also. Our family had a great time and looking forward to going back again.
Perfect Home [Nemo's Magic]
We stayed in an Emerald Island home many, many years ago so we decided to go with them again for this trip… and just like last time, we were very pleased with our decision! This home is huge for the very reasonable rate. There was plenty of space for all of our guests and it was very clean upon our arrival. Sri communicates very well and very respectfully with all of the guests. We had a question about the AC which was our mistake, and he answered us almost immediately even with him being on vacation himself. Everything was provided as stated, as well as some extras. We are Emerald Island renters for life! HIGHLY recommend!!
Comfortable stay [Nemo's Magic]
Convenient and close to Disney well equipped comfortable and anything isn't to much bother to arrange.
5 bedroom rental [Nemo's Magic]
Great rental for family. Will not hesitate to book again.
Great home in a good location [Nemo's Magic]
Pictures do not do it justice. Defiantly would recommend
Great house [Nemo's Magic]
My family and I stayed at Nemos magic vacation house during our trip to Florida to visit Disney world. Our stay was wonderful! When we asked our children (ages 10 and 12) what there favorite part of the trip was they said probably the house with the pool!- Not Disney world! We would definitely stay again.
Great end to a summer [Nemo's Magic]
Absolutely amazing time. From the start with the friendly staffers , to the end with the beautiful homes. Our house was perfectly kept and very beautiful. We will definitely be back in the distant future. Just one or two tweaks needed on your part, the television in the bedroom can be a bit more app friendly like the ones in your living room.
Great place [Nemo's Magic]
Great place to stay and very close to Disney World Orlando.
5 bedroom rental in Emerald Island Resort [Nemo's Magic]
If you are looking for a private pool and spa with a big house to hold a lot of family for vacation then this is a good place to book.
Owner Response: We thank Jessica and her family for their stay at Nemo's Magic and for taking the time to review us. I am glad they recognized this to be the largest floor-plan villa of all 5 bedroom rentals in the community, all on one level.
Pleased with the villa [Nemo's Magic]
Very satisfied with our stay.
We would love to return [Nemo's Magic]
We stayed here for 6 nights over Spring Break. It was really nice and we definitely enjoyed it! We will be returning soon!
Nice vacation [Nemo's Magic]
Let me start off by saying the customer service was amazing at Emerald Island. The agent was responsive and helpful and the staff at the clubhouse was very friendly. Emerald Island was quiet, which was good for two adults just looking for a quiet getaway. It's a typical rental community. It's close to everything and easy to find. The grounds are nice. The house needs a little love. We had everything we needed after the BBQ was replaced.
Owner Response: We appreciate these guests reporting right-away that the BBQ grill did not work. We were able to get them a replacement grill right-away and it all worked out.
An amazing stay! Would stay again! [Nemo's Magic]
Pictures don’t do justice. Much better in person. House was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay, would stay again.
House was very clean! [Nemo's Magic]
Spacious house…great location…host very responsive!
Great stay, love the location [Nemo's Magic]
Best in the area closest to all needed parks and supermarket stores and restaurants. I will be back, super safe quiet area, super clean service on house, good game room though some games did not work but all other great for family fun time
Great stay for the week with no major issues [Nemo's Magic]
Great stay for the week, my family was pleased with the entire setup of the home especially the single level since we had some smaller kids. The usual insect issue outside and inside. None of the games are usable due to being broken or damaged. The overall process was excellent.
Owner Response: Ray and his family were great guests and we are glad they enjoyed their stay. We apologize that the pool table was broken during these guests' stay. Following their feedback, we have since replaced the broken pool table with a brand new one.
Great Villa and service from company [Nemo's Magic]
This is a great villa in a great location, and the company were a pleasure to deal with.
Nemo Magical House [Nemo's Magic]
The house was really nice and clean. It looked just like pictures that are posted online. The resort itself is very well maintained and the staff that we encountered at the gate and welcome center was very nice, pleasant, and very helpful. The only problem we had at the house was there was not enough towels available for us. We had to wash towels every day. I recommend you guys provide maybe at least 2 sets of towels per number of guest for the house. Also the propane tank was empty so we couldn't enjoy grilling while sitting by the pool....Overall I would definitely recommend this house and/or resort
Owner Response: We thank these guests for renting one of our villas and their valuable feedback. We will check the supply of towels in this villa and act as needed. A quick phone call to our management company or us is all that would have been required to get some more towels or a refill of propane tank. We also reimburse guests who exchange the propane tank outside of normal business hours with a valid receipt.
The house was great! [Nemo's Magic]
The house was great! Plenty of room for everyone, 9 of us went, and had room for more. This is the second time I have rented here, and if I come back to Florida I will do so again. The location is great such easy access to anything and everything you need while on vacation!
Owner Response: We thank these guests for their second stay at one of our rentals and look forward to having them back again.
Spacious and clean villa [Nemo's Magic]
The house was spacious and clean. Our original property (from another booking firm) fell through the day we arrived so we needed to get something very quickly. We booked it on Thursday night for the next 8 days. We received a call from the property manager within 15 minutes of booking which quickly set our minds at ease. The only issue we had was very slow wi-fi even after we rebooted the box. A big bonus for us was the gas BBQ which was included.
Nice property, close to Disney [Nemo's Magic]
Nice property, close to major parks, easy check-in/out process, quick responses from the owner. All good! I would recommend this place.
Beautiful villa! [Nemo's Magic]
The home was absolutely beautiful and management there are great! The beds were extremely comfortable and the home was very clean. All appliances a fully functional, I honestly had no complaints.
Spacious House [Nemo's Magic]
The house was spacious. Location was ok too and stores where only a few minutes drive. Pool was descent sized and clean.
Nice villa to come back to! [Nemo's Magic]
Nice area and tons of kid friendly activities in surrounding areas
We will rent this villa again! [Nemo's Magic]
We enjoyed ourselves and will highly recommend your property!! We will be back
Great stay [Nemo's Magic]
We had a great stay. This was the third time we have stay here and we love it. We will definitely be back.
Lovely house [Nemo's Magic]
The 5 bedroom was perfect for my family. It didn't look big on the outside but was very spacious. Everything was in good working order and we enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the pool. A short drive to everything Disney, Universal Studios and outlet mall shopping. We will be booking again with Emerald Island Resorts on our next visit.
We had a fabulous time! [Nemo's Magic]
Sri, Thank you we had a fabulous time! On Wednesday the resort had signs posted everywhere to be alert for bears YIKES! This is the 5 time we have stayed at this resort and have never ran across that before. No worries we never saw one! The House was perfect and the pool crystal clear. It was wonderful!
We loved our villa! [Nemo's Magic]
We loved it. We enjoyed the pool everyday and everyone had plenty of space. We will be happy to recommend family and friends. We also plan to return some time in the near future. Thanks again!!
Nemo's Magic review [Nemo's Magic]
We loved it. Very nice house, lots of room, nice pool and patio. Hot tub or whirlpool left a bit to be desired, but overall, it was a great stay. Only complaint is that I was told an early check in would probably be no problem, but then it was denied when requested. Same with a late check out - 10AM is awfully early for people with a 3-4PM flight home. Especially with the cleanup required before you leave. Some flexibility in that area would have been nice. But overall, an excellent stay
Owner Response: We are glad to know Kurt's family enjoyed their stay. We are however unsure of any concerns they may have had with the hot tub/spa heat as we did not get any email/phone calls regarding the same during their stay. These guests did request for an early check-in and late check-out. As mentioned in numerous places on the website, booking agreement and welcome documents, the check-in is anytime after 04:00 pm and check-out is by 10:00 am. Since vacation homes book back-to-back in many cases, we do need the time to clean the house for the next arrival. That is the reason we could not give early check-in or late check-out for these guests. Any guest can optionally pay a small fee to get an early check-in and/or late checkout if they choose to have these options guaranteed.
Nice villa near Disney [Nemo's Magic]
Nemo's Magic was very nice and comfortable. Nice location. Clean. Thank you Sri for your help when we first arrived.
Magic Holiday [Nemo's Magic]
Great time was had by all in our party, we loved the house and Emerald estate. We have stayed at emerald isles before so chose it again for the safety and the convenience of being near to central Florida
Bigger and nicer than expected! [Nemo's Magic]
Amazing! Even bigger than it looks in pictures! Defiantly will be coming back!
Perfect house for our family vacation [Nemo's Magic]
Sri, we really enjoyed our holidays very much. The house was perfect for us, very comfortable and nice, and we really took care of it. Thank you very much for sharing your villa with us!
Stitch's magical villa [Nemo's Magic]
Sri's rental house for my stay was 10/10. My group was 8 adults and a toddler for 2 nights and it was absolutely amazing. The house was wide and spacious with many rooms and bathrooms. The location was in a great gated community less than 15 minutes away from Disney attractions. Registering for car passes to enter the community was smooth and simple.Beds and bathrooms were properly filled with basic supplies. This space is good for big groups with simple needs. Lots of extra appliances and such to use although we did not use them. Very very clean. Check in and check out procedure was generally very easy and recommended for first time Airbnb guests :) I will return again as I always travel in big groups. Fair price. Sri was very quick to respond and communication with him was easy. Awesome host!
Very nice vacation homes [Nemo's Magic]
The house is ideal for large family groups for your comfort. We were 3 days and the truth did not have any inconvenience. It was a good choice. Prompt response always from its owner Sri. We would return on another occasion.

Glad to recommend this home to all our friends and acquaintances [Nemo's Magic]
We arrived Sunday morning for a week long family vacation, to be honest a long overdue and much needed one after a couple of rough years as a family. We entered the resort and were immediately astounded with the beauty of the gated community. The staff at the clubhouse was friendly and accommodated our every need for the entire time of our stay (the Pina coladas at the Tiki Bar were also a plus!). Our arrival to the home was an even greater pleasure.
Once we pulled into the driveway then walked inside we knew we picked the right vacation home. The decor was immaculate, the rooms were spacious and super clean, the 3 bathrooms never left anyone waiting for their turn like it would have been at a hotel. We spent every day in the pool and being able to make our meals at home which saved us a lot of money. The location was perfect and just far away enough from the parks that you felt relaxed and not overwhelmed with crowds and traffic.
We will be staying here again as soon as possible. We loved every moment of our stay!
Villa was exactly as described [Nemo's Magic]
We found the house exactly as advertised. the pool was well used by us and all enjoyed it. the house was clean and directions to the house were accurate. IT WAS EXACTLY as advertised and WILL keep you in mind for a future rental. It accommodated our family size nicely. THANK YOU! Kathleen Cahill
This is a great place! [Nemo's Magic]
This is a great place! We brought family member together to spend an enjoyable Passover. Everything is provided from bicycles to swim toys. The large tub in the master bedroom was a nice suprise. The house is ranch style and we found that a plus. Why run up and down steps all day and night! The rental agent Sri was very patient, polite, and responed to my emails almost instantly. Go for it!
Comfortable vacation home [Nemo's Magic]
The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was in a very quiet and beautiful area. Sri is very nice and was always helpful with any questions I had.
Perfect vacation rental [Nemo's Magic]
We stayed at "Nemo's Magic" for ten days in February and it was a pleasure. The home is exactly as described and depicted on the site's photographs; Sri made the facilities, options, and rules crystal clear; he quickly responded to our every request; the house's proximity to Disney made it ideal; Emerald Island is a lovely, well kept resort; I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. Will certainly recommend Sri, this community and house to others.
My family enjoyed a wonderful trip [Nemo's Magic]
Me and my family had a wonderful time at Sri's vacation home!! The pictures do not do it justice, it's even better in person! It was incredibly close to Disney and other Orlando attractions. Sri was MORE than accommodating to us being it was such a last minute trip! He answered all my questions almost instantly! Will definitely visit again!
