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.

Good Communication
We had a lovely stay at Michael and Susan’s Villa. Excellent communication with Michael from the beginning. Emerald island felt very safe and secure and is central to everything. We really enjoyed our stay and would most definitely love to return one day.

Wonderful Styay
Just returned from a 2 week stay n Florida and I would like to say a massive thank you to Michael and Susan for sharing their holiday home with us.
My self and my family loved everything about their villa. The onsite assistance was friendly and helpful.
We had the fire alarm bleep one morning like it was running out of battery, we contacted their management team and they were so responsive and sorted this out quickly.
The pool carer was friendly and always let us know when he placed chemicals in the pool to stay clear from it for a couple of hours to be safe.
Out of the villas we previously rented this one by far has been the best, the communication from Michael his team and the up keep of the property is outstanding, we will be definitely booking this again.

Perfect Vacation Home
Michael & Susan's Villa is the perfect vacation home for anyone thinking of spending a holiday in Orlando Kissimmee area, especially close to Disney, Animal Kingdom in 10 min's
Michael is very professional when it comes to all communication & returns correspondence promptly which was a big plus point with regards to planning our stay, the Villa was excellent throughout everything you could ever wish for to have a great stay, We as a family have been coming back to Florida for over the past twenty years & I can reassure you, you wont find a better secure gated community area than Emerald Island Retreat, our two week stay in this Villa was perfect, the family loved every bit of this property.

We had a great stay
Felt positive from the first email from Michael, he was on the ball. Had a great 2 week stay in Villa 1, secure gated community in a quiet area. Villa was home from home with high speed WiFi and the games room was a treat and the pool was a great way to end the day.
Great location for Disney Parks just 7 miles away and straight on the I4 for Universal. Would recommend to anyone looking.

Can Recommend
Just got back from a fantastic holiday in Orlando, where we stayed once again (4th time) at Michael and Susan's Villa One. The Villa was immaculately clean and had everything you needed after a long day at the Parks - lovely swimming pool and games room helped to relax and wind down after being in the "Disney Bubble". A home from home - back soon in the near future - would highly recommend to families!
Date of stay: July 2024

We really enjoyed our stay
Me and my family recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning villa in Florida, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The villa itself is a luxurious haven, featuring spacious, beautifully decorated rooms that offer both comfort and elegance.
One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor area. The private pool provided a perfect oasis for relaxation, while the outdoor dining space made for unforgettable evenings under the stars. The villa's location is ideal, offering easy access to all Disney world areas, vibrant local attractions, and top-notch dining options.
What truly sets this villa apart is the attention to detail and the thoughtful amenities provided. The fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and entertainment options made us feel right at home. The owners clearly take pride in maintaining the property to the highest standards, ensuring a clean, comfortable, and luxurious stay.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this Florida villa is the perfect choice. I look forward to returning and making more wonderful memories in this exceptional place.
