Good stay; [Pluto's Magic]
The house is clean and comfortable. It has everything you need. The entire resort is clean, well-maintained, and makes you feel at home even when you're away from your country.

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.

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.

Great place to stay; [Pluto's Magic]
This is my second year staying at Pluto's Magic villa in Emerald Island Resort. The place is clean and nicely kept. It is close to all the parks. I will definitely stay there again. Love this place.

A grade 'A' location; [Pluto's Magic]
The property was what we were expecting and needed. It is located in a gated community with several amenities. The pool heat in January was perfect. Lots of space and things to do. The only minor issue we found was that some of the TV remotes weren't working. Overall, a grade 'A' location.

Another Great Stay; [Pluto's Magic]
Our family has rented a home in Emerald Island more than a dozen times now, and everyone has been excellent! The homes are clean and the location is convenient.

Perfect Villa for our holiday; [Pluto's Magic]
We rented our stay with Emerald Island a while back, but unfortunately due to covid we were unable to attend this holiday as the UK and US borders were still closed. Sri and his team could not have been more helpful and accommodating. I honestly can't thank him enough for this as it meant we were able to continue our holiday plans for 2022 without too much of a loss financially.
On the run up to our stay Sri was brilliant at keeping us informed of all the necessary steps and information we needed.
When we arrived the Villa was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday comfortably.
We were amazed at how close we were to all Disney (5 minutes) and universal parks, the longest drive being around 40 mins with traffic to Universal. As well as having a range of shops and restaurants on our doorstep.
We have enjoyed our stay here immensely and can't wait to start planning another visit soon!

Nice plae for a family vacation; [Pluto's Magic]
This was our first time renting a home for our family vacation. Pluto Magic is a must-stay. We had a great time! The neighbors were quiet and friendly. Emerald Island is located in the heart of everything that you need. I want to thank Sri G for all of the accommodations during our stay. I love how the process of the rental was efficient and seamless. Our family truly enjoyed this treat. We are looking forward to staying again.

Very relaxing vacation; [Pluto's Magic]
Thanks again for allowing us to rent your home. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The home was beautiful and fitting for my family. Although some things in the house could use some updating such as: coffee maker, TVs we’re small and games room was out dated.. Over all I loved it a we will be booking again for our next Vacation!

We appreciate the Saunders family for renting this villa. We will certainly take a look at the coffee maker. A quick phone call or email would have solved any concerns of this nature. The TVs in this villa are as advertised and website will be updated when upgrades are made. Thank you once agian for renting this villa and for your feedback.
A wonderful stay at Pluto's Magic!; [Pluto's Magic]
I stayed at Pluto's Magic with my family for 10 nights. It is a beautiful home. Pluto's Magic was clean and very cozy. We loved the pool and found it very private and it was clean and something we looked forward to every day. Thank you so much to the owner of this lovely home and to Emerald Island Rentals.

Our vacation was beyond our expectations; [Pluto's Magic]
Hi Sri, I want to thank you for everything. Our vacation was over our expectations. The hospitality from everyone on the resort was very very good. The hoodie we left behind can be donated to whoever you want. We will for sure coming back to Orlando and our first choice will always be from you.
The house was perfect for our family and I will warmly recommend you to our friends.

Regarding our stay in Pluto's Magic I can tell that we have no complaints about the service hired at Emerald Island Rentals, the Resort or the house. Everything has been within the expectations and as we agreed. Everything has been very easy and left us satisfied.

We really enjoyed the home and the pool; [Pluto's Magic]
Thank you for a great week - we really enjoyed the home and the pool! It was so nice to come home after a crazy day out and know that we had a quiet place to relax and make some dinner (and play with lizards!). I will certainly tell anyone I know who is considering traveling to Orlando that they should look at your place.

I will stay here every time I visit the Orlando area; [Pluto's Magic]
What a deal! Everything was as advertised. House was extremely clean, pool was fantastic. But let's be honest, the location is second to none. When it takes you less than five minutes to get to Disney's front gate, you know your close! Nothing but great things to say about the property. The gated community is an added bonus, it gives you peace of mind knowing that you need a pass to get in. To sum up, I will stay here every time I visit the Orlando area. Sri was amazing answering all of our questions and even supplying directions and tips. Thank you so much Sri for allowing us into your home.

Had a great time for 4 weeks in Pluto's Magic villa; [Pluto's Magic]
Had a 4 week holiday in Florida and couldn't of picked a better place to stay. We stayed in the 4 bedroom Pluto's Magic villa and I must say if I had the money I would buy one of these villas. The resort they are on is second to none and the villa was outstanding. Will DEFIANTLY be return and recommending to others.

Thank you very much for quickly releasing our security deposit so quickly. My family and I enjoyed very much our stay at Pluto's Magic in Emerald Island Resort. The home was everything we expected. I will definitely consider this home or one of your other homes for our future trips to Orlando.

Had a great time at Emerald Island Resort; [Pluto's Magic]
Had a great time at Emerald Island Resort - we (family of 9) spent 8 days in May - we rented Pluto's Magic. If you are going to be spending time at any of the Disney parks, this is a fantastic option - the parks are just minutes away (of course, you still need to drive). The rates are good, and the place is very nice - the home we rented had a swimming pool, so the kids had a blast on days we chose not to step out - and we didnt even need heating in May. There are lots of restaurants within 2 mile radius, but we also put the kitchen to full use, cooking most of the days. The tips, directions and instructions by Sri were also quite helpful! Thanks! Im sure we'll be back to Emerald Island Resort on our next trip to Orlando
