Home description
Emerald Island Resort is surrounded by a conservation area and encompasses over 300 acres with 11 heavily wooded acres right in the middle of the community. As you pass through the 24 hour guarded gatehouse the playful dolphin fountains welcome you to this unique resort. It is surprising that such beauty is only 3 miles away from the Disney resorts and even closer to a vast array of restaurants and shops.
Emerald Island has achieved its premiere resort status by using its beauty, amenities and location, location, location. The villa will meet and surpass your families expectations as it certainly has that added magical charm and warmth about it..

The Florida / Orlando Disney Area
Home to the world famous Walt Disney Resort, plus Universal Studio's to name but two.
Weather in Orlando Florida is one of the area's biggest attractions with its year-round mild weather. Mid-Florida's subtropical climate has long been a strong draw for tourists and residents alike. At the heart of the "Sunshine State," the area's average annual temperature is a comfortable 72.4 degrees. Average annual rainfall amounts to over 50 inches per year, keeping Central Florida lush and green throughout the year. Prevailing winds are southerly at nine mph. The average elevation of the region is 127 feet above sea level.
Orlando is positioned in the centre of Florida, with easy access to both the Atlantic and Gulf coast beaches and only an hour away from The Kennedy Space Centre.
Most rental villas advertised on Websites and in Brochures are located on the US 27 which is situated at the end of the US 192, this is some 8 miles plus to Disney. As these have been rapidly increasing over the last few years, the US 192 to the parks is becoming more congested and thus adding to the travelling time. Emerald Island on the other hand is situated less than 3 miles from Disney ensuring stress free travel to the parks. Also within one mile we have Formosa gardens plaza with Winn Dixie, TGI's, Red Lobster, Outback, Carrabbas, Cracker Barrel, Subway, Chinese take away and just in case needed a walk in doctors Healthcare centre. Plus a Publix (5 minutes) , and Walmart (10 mins). Once you have stayed in Emerald Island, you will not want to stay anywhere else!
Kissimmee / Emerald Isle Kissimmee area
A visit to the Orlando area would not be complete without a visit or two to one or more of the numerous shopping malls that are located all over the place.
Florida Mall – located at the intersection of Orange Blossom Trail and Sand Lake Road. Department stores such as JC Penny, Sears, Saks, Dillards and many smaller shops together with a Food Hall
Lake Buena Vista Factory Shops – located on 535, south of 535/536 intersection. One of the smaller outlets but nevertheless well worth a visit.
The Mall at Millenia – Just off the I 4. Well worth a visit if only for window shopping. Department stores include Macy and Bloomingdales. Other up market shops include Gucci, Tiffany and Cartier. Wonderful eateries including a Cheesecake Factory .
Old Town – situated on the 192 just past I 4 going eastwards. Many small speciality shops. Worth visiting in the evening.
Should golf be top of your agenda then here are just a few of the many Golf courses to be found around the Kissimmee and Orlando area.

The pool deck at the rear of the pool was extended outward by an additional eight feet (40 ft wide) to ensure that the sun is there all day. Whilst on the other hand, if you prefer just sit in the shade, then the Lanai area which is some 40ft by 10 ft caters perfectly for this as well. The pool is heated and is 30 x 14 ft. with a raised Spa with waterfall, that can be heated separately. There are six sun Loungers, ten patio chairs and a large parasol, coupled with two tables, to enable al fresco dining, comfortably for ten people.
