Shopping Malls near the Emerald Island Resort

If shopping is your thing then whilst staying at one of our luxury vacation rentals and villas on Emerald Island Resort why not visit one of the nearby malls. Three of the best that we visit on a regular basis are the Florida Mall which has all the big department stores (Macy's, Dillards, JC Penny, Nordstorm) and some great sales at certain times of the year.

Next is the Orlando Premium Outlets where everything is on sale all the time and you can get some amazing bargains but don't end up buying clothes just because they seem like a steal. Lastly is The Mall at Millenia which has all the high end brands like Tiffany & Co, Apple, Breitling, Coach, Rolex, Burberry, Cartier and many more so if you are looking to spend some serious money this is the place for you.

The Mall at Millennia also has some of the best restaurants in Orlando like The Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang's and Brio Tuscan Grille so why head there for an early dinner and late night shopping.

Wonderful Stay

We had a lovely stay at Emerald Island Retreat 2. Had an amazing experience from the start to coming home. Michael is always on hand for an email and must of been sick of my questions. He answered them no issues what so ever. This holiday was a big one for us. Was our Honeymoon, our little boy and friends first visit. Boys were in love with the pool, i loved how close this villa was to disney. Everything easy around to get to also. We are looking forward to booking again. Thank you Michael and Susan for sharing your home with us.

The best we stayed in!

We had a fabulous four week staying at the villa at Emerald Island Resort. Villa was very comfortable, well equipped and is in an ideal location for all the Parks and Shopping. The staff at Emerald Island were friendly and helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to family or friends who may be considering a holiday in Orlando. We have stayed close to 10 villas in the Davenport and Kissemmee area and I can honestly said that this villa is tops for location, equipment and comfort. our grandchildren really enjoyed the pool which gets the sun nearly all day. Great communication from Michael during booking process. We are looking at booking again in 2025

Very Enjoyable

We stayed for 14 nights in January 2023 and had a wonderful experience. The house was clean and well equipped and the pool was heated, as requested, and very inviting.The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of storage. The situation of the house was very convenient for shops, restaurants and the Disney parks. Would definitely rebook in the future. The owners were very easy to deal with too.

Third time!!

This is the third time we have stayed in one of Michael’s villas, and again we have enjoyed our holiday immensely! The villas are just the right size for our family of 2 adults and 2 children, and we love the pool an jacuzzi .. heated this visit as in October. Emerald Island Resort is beautifully clean and maintained to a high standard, and we feel very safe.

Fabulous week

We had a fabulous week (4th - 11th September 2022) at the villa at Emerald Island Resort. Villa was very comfortable, well equipped and is in an ideal location. We would have no hesitation in recommending to other family/friends who may be considering a villa in Orlando. Great communication from Michael during booking process.

Michael was great

Michael was fantastic dealing with our predictament of our first holiday being cancelled. Although we did not stay at this villa due to this holiday also being cancelled I would just like say how fantastic Michael was from offering the villa to cancelling the villa, with a full refund within the day of cancelling. Michael always replied to all my emails straight away and had answers to all our concerns. We are gutted to say the least that this holiday was cancelled as we were really looking forward to staying here as it is in our favourite location. We would like to thank Michael for all his help and we will not hesitate to book his villa next summer when hopefully COVID is under control and we can all travel again. Highly Recommended *****

a perfect week

We are just home from a wonderful 7 night stay in this Villa. The initial booking and communication was great and made very easy. The location for a Disney holiday is perfect, just 10 mins, 30 mins to universal. Close to supermarkets, shops and restaurants. The complex feels very safe with lots of extra amenities including a pool, mini golf, gym and games room. The Villa itself was perfect for us, a family of 4. Spotlessly clean, loads of space, kitchen filled with everything we needed for cooking. Loads of great little extras like board games, books etc plus the games room with air hockey, pool table etc. The pool area was fantastic, plenty of comfortable seating, perfectly clean, super sunny spot but umbrellas are provided too. Hosts were excellent and easy to communicate with for anything we needed to speak to them about. All round, a great place that we would definitely use again and would recommend to others too.

We would definitely come back

We enjoyed our stay at the Villa very much. We especially enjoyed the very sunny (south east facing) pool area and the water was warmed to a perfect temperature along with the hot tub for our Feb stay. The very large TV in the living room was a winner with everyone and we were very happy to have cable for the major networks as well as fast internet for streaming. The property was very clean. The master near the pool had a comfortable bed. The other bedrooms were enjoyed. The children we had there a portion of the time were thrilled with the Micky Mouse theme and would have lived in the pool if we had let them. The pool furniture was comfortable for relaxing. The kitchen was equipped with ample dishes, silver, & glassware. We enjoyed Emerald Island for it’s quiet location away from roads and traffic. Overall, we enjoyed the home and are glad we rented it for our winter retreat from the cold Indiana winters.

Everything we needed

we truly enjoyed our stay at your villa. It's our getaway from the cold weather in Chicago. We had stayed at EI before but not in the houses. The villa was very comfortable and plenty of room. We truly enjoyed the pool after we were able too adjust the heat. The house had everything we needed and this made the stay extremely Wonderful. I would highly recommended this villa to others. Thank you!!

Enjoyed every minute

We stayed in retreat 2 for 11 nights in January 2020 and enjoyed every minute of it. Booking the Villa with Michael was made very easy anything we needed to know he was back immediately with an answer. The Villa was lovely,very clean and well equipped. The games room was a brilliant addition and the pool area had ample furniture and was a lovely temperature. Emerald island was very well kept and one of the closer resorts to the 192 which leeds to Disney and universal and has plenty of restaurants and shops. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this Villa and its owners.

Really Close to Disney

We have recently returned home from a wonderful holiday in one of Michael and Susan's villas. We have been to Florida many times and love to stay in villas as close to Disney as possible, we found this to be the closest one yet, which was really appreciated when we wanted to get home as soon as possible after a long day at Disney. We felt really safe in the gated community of Emerald Isle which is very close to Walmart and many restaurants. The villa itself was clean and had plenty of space and kitchen amenities for the 5 of us that were on this trip. The kids loved the pool and the adults loved the hot tub. We can definitely recommend staying here and hope to return again in the not to distant future.

Great Villa

My husband and I spent February half-term at Michael's villa. The booking process was easy, the information provided was thorough, relative and useful. We arrived late on a Saturday night due to delay with hire cars at the airport, but getting in via security was fine as we had all the necessary paperwork to show to the security officer. The management company had left the outside lights on for us, as we had informed the owner that we would be (fairly) late arrivals that night. Emerald Island is conveniently located for all the eateries (I recommend Cracker Barrel!), parks and entertainment. The new shopping and bars at Margeritaville are only a two minute drive. The resort is spotless and has a lovely community feel to it. It felt safe to walk around and everyone was friendly. The villa itself is much bigger than it looks in the photos and is extremely clean and well stocked with everything than you would need. The furnishings are good quality and the bed was comfortable. The bedding and towels appeared to be new - no scratchy towels or bobbly sheets! There was an abundance of crockery and cutlery, although there was only the two of us. There was even an electric kettle...YAY! The pool had heated up nicely for us, and the hot tub was like a lovely deep bath. Our only difficulty was that there was no rail to help us in or out of the hot tub, and we are (sort of) getting on in years...or possibly unfit! It was the weekend of Presidents' Day so the resort was quite busy with vacationers, and many of them were large groups in neighbouring villas having parties to celebrate. However, everywhere was quiet by about 10pm as people observed the quiet times on the resort. I have no hesitation in recommending this villa and I certainly hope to stay there again in the near future. Hopefully travel will be back to normal later in the year and I can have a nice 3 week break there, otherwise I will definitely book for February next year. Thank you Michael for allowing us to stay in your beautiful place at such short notice.

Perfect for our Stay

Lovely villa, very clean, in a quiet gated community. Good size, easily accommodated a family of 4 adults. Excellent pool and hot spa. Not far from 192 and many great restaurants. 10 mins to Disney. Liked the fact it had curtains as well as blinds. Many villas only have blinds and it can be very bright in the morning when you want to sleep in! Would definitely recommend.

Sad to Leave

We are very sad to be home but would like to thank you for making our trip so special with your amazing villa. We have stayed in this area a few times, the location is perfect for Disney, Universal and is just off the 192 where you have tons of shops and restaurants. Our children loved their Mickey bedroom, the kitchen was perfect and the pool was just brilliant, the sun shone down on it all day and was always a perfect temperature. We are already trying to work out when we can return! Michael has been great, very informative! Thanks again for a great stay!

Would Highly Recommend

Had a fantastic stay here. Villa was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our family. Location is superb, a true 10-15 mins from all the Disney parks, and being so close meant we could break up our day and return to villa for some relaxation by the lovely pool. Lots of decent restaurants, fast food, and deliveries of food available nearby, and 3 x big supermarkets no more than 5 mins away. Communication with owners was excellent. Would highly recommend. Thanks again.

Clean!

Having just returned from our two week summer holiday at this villa for the second time we can only say what a delight it has been. The villa is very clean, well looked after and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing holiday. The pool was idyllic as the weather was in excess of 83 degrees the temperature, although unheated, was great. There is the possibility to heat pool if required. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and the bed was very comfortable. We would highly recommend this villa for a family as the safety aspect has been well addressed everywhere. Also everywhere was very clean. Loved it and would not hesitate to rebook.

Having just returned from our two week summer holiday at this villa for the 2nd time we can only say what a delight it has been. The villa is very clean, well looked after and had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing holiday. The pool was idyllic as the weather was in excess of 90 degrees the temperature, although unheated, was great. There is the possibility to heat pool if required. The bedrooms had plenty of storage and the bed was very comfortable. We would highly recommend this villa for a family as the safety aspect has been well addressed everywhere. Also everywhere was very clean. Loved it and would not hesitate to rebook a third time.

Perfect for Disney

The main purpose of our trip to Florida was visiting the Disney parks. And for this purpose, the villa is bang on for location! A 10-15 minute very easy drive to all Disney parks without too much traffic. Emerald Island Resort itself is beautifully maintained and being a gated community, we did feel quite safe there. This villa’s floorplan was perfect for us being 6 adults, 2 kids and 1 baby spanning 3 generations. It was absolutely worth paying extra for pool heat for our March week-long stay as when we weren’t at the parks, we took full advantage of having our own private pool and hot tub. Although this villa comes with loads of extras you may not find included in other rentals, I do wish a bigger supply of the free starter quantities of the more basic amenities would have been included, such as extra garbage/recycling bags, coffee filters, dishwashing soap, facial tissues and extra toilet paper for all washrooms… All easy fixes ;) The rec room was a super fun and the Villa has a great "home" feel to it. I highly recommend this villa for families looking to stay close to Disney without being on the Disney resort. Owner response. Thanks for your comments Gabrielle. We supply free starter quantities. However you can pre order anything you need, before your arrival and we will be happy to ensure it is in your home on arrival. Thanks Michael

Great place to stay.

Great villa in a good location. Lots of great restaurants close by and easy to drive to Disney and universal studios. Villa has plenty to keep the kids entertained. They loved the pool and also the games room. Villa is clean and spacious and has everything required to make the holiday comfortable. Will definitely recommend this villa to others and will hopefully be back.

Great for Families

For a family of 9 spanning 3 generations we really couldn't have asked for a better home from home for our big Disney holiday. The house was fully equipped right down to high chair and buggy. The netted pool area was a big hit and beautifully clean. The location is so convenient with restaurants and supermarkets close by for your time at home and really convenient for all the Disney parks. The open spaces and nature walk on the gated resort were great for wildlife spotting. Michael made everything very easy re the booking and gave us really helpful advise for flights etc. It was so nice to be able to speak to an owner in this country. We would certainly recommend this villa to family and friends and would have no hesitation in returning if we head that way again. Thank you for helping to make our holiday amazing.

We just love this place

we have recently returned from yet another fabulous holiday staying in Michael & Susan's villa. We have stayed here 4 times, twice in this home and twice in their other home next door. The house is great with everything you need, just bring some clothes! The location is perfect for all the Disney parks with Universal being just a little further but still within 30 minutes. The games room was well used with family regular family battles over air hockey, pool and basket ball and the pool was a great place to relax after a long day in the parks. Michael & Susan are really pleasant to deal with and always happy to provide information if required. The external grounds around the house are well kept. We would certainly recommend either home for a great holiday location

Fantastic Holiday

We would like to thank you for playing a part in us having a fantastic holiday. The villa is very big, we had 6 adults staying there and ample room. It had everything we needed and it was like a home from home, pool and external area was lovely and well kitted out with furniture. The garage is fitted out with several games, however due to it being a very busy holiday we did not make much use of this, but there if you need it. This villa is so close to everything, shops, restaurants, parks etc. Security is good for vehicle access We would recommend and we hope to use the villa again. Thank you.

Fabulous villa. Well equipped and very clean. Stayed July 2016 and our only complaint was that we had to leave. Will book again and recommend this home to others.

It had Everything!

Just back from 2 weeks in retreat 2 and had a wonderful time. The villa had plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 children and had everything you could have wanted in terms of utensils, crockery and towels. Any questions or issues were dealt with promptly by Michael and the management company. So close to Disney and any amount of restaurants and supermarkets on the doorstep. Would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone and we will definitely stay here again.

We keep coming back!!

Our last visit was our 3rd consecutive year renting one the 2 villas. Once again, we had a wonderful experience. The property is well maintained and the house is stocked with everything you would need to enjoy yourself. I would recommend the villas for anyone heading to Orlando for vacation.

Loved it!

We stayed in Villa 2 for 2 weeks at the end of May and had the most fantastic time. The villa was perfect in every way. The children aged 4 and 6 thought their Disney themed bedroom was brilliant and they really enjoyed the swimming pool. There was a plentiful supply of cutlery and crockery for the dishwasher and the large washing machine made keeping us all clean very easy. The proximity of the villa to all of the theme parks was a huge plus and made it possible to go to the Parks in the morning, come back for a couple of hours in the pool and then return to the Parks for the shows in the evening. Any queries we had were answered promptly by Michael from the UK and by the Management Company in Orlando. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone considering a holiday in Orlando.

Lovely House!

What a lovely house. Looks just like the pictures on the website. No need to take anything the house has everything you could need. Dishes pots and pans linens. The pool and hot tubs were clean and warm. We were there for one week which wasn't enough wish I was still there. I will stay there again and have told all our friends what a nice place to stay. Close to all the major parks. Hope the next trip is longer. Michael was such a nice person to deal with. Thanks again.

Just returned from 16 nights at villa 2 would give it 10 out of 10. Beautiful villa lovely and clean, great location. Four lovely big bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Pool wonderful, great resort. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay there again. Michael and Susan are fantastic people to deal and did everything to make our holiday go smoothly. We have stayed in hotels on previous visits to Orlando but having teenage children a villa gives you much more space.

We have now rented both properties and had an equally enjoyable time at Villa#2 as we had at Villa#1. Both properties are well-managed and maintained - they are both a renter's dream. I have and will continue to recommend either of these two properties to friends. you much more space.

We just spent 8 nights at this house it was wonderful . The house was everything it said it was going to be, the pool was clean and warm, our Grandkids had to be dragged out of the water. We have stayed in this neighborhood in the past with just a terrible experience, we thought we would give it one more try and this place was awesome I would recommend it to all my friends, who want to do the Disney thing. thanks for having a great house for my family to use.

We spent two weeks in retreat 2 and had the most fantastic holiday, the villa was clean and all beds made up when we arrived. There were 9 in our party including 4 children ranging in age from 4-8. There was plenty of room and the pool was perfect for them. I Will stay in this villa again, if I return to the area

Loved it!

We have just had a 2 week holiday in Villa 2 and it was absolutely fantastic. It is probably the most well equipped self catering holiday let I have ever stayed in. Incredibly convenient for the Disney parks, spacious and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or book again should we return to Florida.

We have recently returned from our Christmas/New Year break and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in this vacation home. The amenities were spotlessly clean, in very good condition and brilliantly located for all the parks and entertainment/restaurants. The swimming pool was well heated and clean and was safeguarded by a mesh to avoid our grandchildren from any potential danger. The games tables in the garage were very well accepted by my husband and son-in-law and I appreciated the washing machine and tumble dryer. We would have no hesitation in recommending this vacation home or returning to it in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic villa in a fantastic location. We stayed in villa 2, it was clean well set out and very comfortable. Emerald island is a lovely resort and so handy for Disney and the 192 where there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. Michael was excellent to deal with and we would have no hesitation in recommending the villa to anyone wishing to holiday in this area.

We have just returned from our 3rd stay in Michael & Susan's homes 2009, 2011 & 2014 (4th holiday in Orlando - first time in a hotel). Both properties are fabulous, within easy reach of everything (disney really is only 10 mins away) and Universal is only about 30 mins. We absolutely love it, the homes have everything you need. I would thoroughly recommend renting either villa and will certainly be back again in the future. Thank you!

Our family of 10 shared the two villas in May 2014. We all loved our stay. The facilities are excellent in all respects. Close to the 192 with plenty of restaurants and the main parks only 15-20 minutes. Would highly recommend. Michael is excellent to deal with and responds quickly to any queries.

Stayed for a week in June and had a wonderful time. House was CLEAN and had a wonderful supply of cooking and serving pieces. Beds were comfortable. As it was chilly I wish I had planned on the hottub being heated so the pool would have been warm but we enjoyed it anyway. We would rent again.

Just returned from a week spent at Emerald Island Resort. My sister and I along with our grown kids and grand kids rented the 2 side by side villas. My family and I were very pleased with the condition of the home. It was spotless when we arrived and all amenities were available and in very good working order. One day we tried to use the dryer and it was not working, we called and someone came the same day and fixed the problem. Everything else went very smoothly. The location is also great, very close to anything you would need for your vacation. Also felt very safe on the resort. Was there for a family reunion and all the homes that were rented (6) also had the same experience. The process before getting there, setting up the rental, payment, etc, was also very easy with no problems at all. Would most definitely rent again.

We have just returned from our first family vacation with our 6 month old twin girls. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities we could have wished for. As the property is all on one level and the pool was secured behind a mesh barrier we could relax knowing the girls were perfectly safe. The owner even managed to supply to cots in order to accommodate us. We will definitely be booking again.

Emerald Island Resort Villa
Wonderful Stay

We had a lovely stay at Emerald Island Retreat 2. Had an amazing experience from the start to coming home. Michael is always on hand for an email and must of been sick of my questions. He answered them no issues what so ever. This holiday was a big one for us. Was our Honeymoon, our little boy and friends first visit. Boys were in love with the pool, i loved how close this villa was to disney. Everything easy around to get to also. We are looking forward to booking again. Thank you Michael and Susan for sharing your home with us.
