Great host, great property, great experience.

The host was a great communicator. The property is conveniently located and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. We had 10 people and the indoor and outdoor common areas worked well for that group size. The large bedrooms and other areas provided privacy when needed.

My family and I had a wonderful stay with our two dogs. The area is very nice, great restaurants and close to Disney parks which was the main reason for our visit. The neighborhood is very quiet which is very nice and we couldn't ask for a better host/owner than Chris. Thanks again Chris for an enjoyable week !!! Hope to be back in the near future.

The perfect getaway

I cannot thank Chris enough for being a great host. The size and cleanliness of the home exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed was there. We prepared in case there wasn't enough, but actually brought home unopened supplies. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. This allowed all 7 of us to have some decompression time after a full day at the parks. Our host, Chris, kept the lines of communication open. If i had a question, he responded promptly. Plus he was really accommodating and hospitable, which is a rare find these days. If given the opportunity, I would go there again. We really appreciated you, Chris!!

Best family vacation we’ve ever had 💛

I can’t say enough great things about Chris and his amazing house…it is beautiful, clean, spacious, absolutely insanely close to Disney & just the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. This house is in a gorgeous, gated, well maintained neighborhood and we felt completely safe & protected the entire time. Chris’ neighbors are kind and everything was quiet & perfect for relaxing. The proximity to Disney is second to none. We would go to the parks in the morning, come back to the house & eat & swim and then go back to the parks in the evenings. Perfect! The theater room was our family’s favorite place and we watched a movie in there every single day. It felt like a true movie theater with cool speakers & seats. The pool table is so fun and my boys loved it. Every one having their own bedroom and bathroom made getting ready each day so easy. The pool is gorgeous! The outdoor TV was so fun to watch Disney movies on while we swam and we even cooked out one day. The kitchen has a Viking fridge and I especially loved having a Keurig! I truly can’t wait to go back and I will never ever forget the memories made here at this very special home. Thank you so much Chris! You are by far the best VRBO host we’ve ever had!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Ross

Host profile image
Our family of 4 resides just outside of the Greater Toronto Area. We love spending time out doors searching for adventures with our giant dog and travelling when we have the opportunity!
We fell in love with Emerald Island when we had our first family vacation together in 2018 and made our dreams come true to own a villa in 2021. We know your family will enjoy it as much as ours did!

Why they chose this property

Our family fell in love with Emerald Island Resort on a family trip in 2018 and we made it our goal to buy a vacation property here, 3 years later we did! The Villa was a large inviting place to spend time with our family and perfect Florida backyard setting stole our hearts immediately. With the Villa being so close to many of Central Florida's Main attractions and being just over an hours drive to the coast, this home was an easy decision for our family.

What makes this property unique

The fully airconditioned Movie Theatre makes for an amazing space for kids and adults to further share magical experiences and make memories.
A covered patio, privacy from the hill and South facing pool make our backyard one of the best in the resort!!
The resort amenities including the playgrounds and clubhouse were perfect for our family to enjoy and hope yours will too.
