Emerald Pleasure Villa - Private Pool, Resort Community, Near Disney

We had plenty of space. Beds were very comfortable. Love the location. I do have to say the house needs some maintenance. We had a leaking toilet but management had it taken care of very quickly. Hope to stay again.

The place was clean and spacious but the furniture is very old and crappy. Beds are ok. Kitchen was big and well equipped.

I was really disappointed with my stay. First, the property wasn't ready when we arrived, causing a delay in our plans. It took longer than expected for the host to provide access, which was frustrating.Once inside, it was clear that the property wasn’t well-maintained. The cleanliness was subpar—there were stuff still in the shower and stains in several areas, and it didn’t feel fresh or inviting. The pool, which we were really looking forward to using, was dirty and had debris floating in it, making it unusable during our stay. The furniture was old and scratch up.Overall, the experience didn’t meet the expectations set by the listing, and it was far from the relaxing getaway we had hoped for. I hope the host can address these issues for future guests.

The location is so perfect you are so close to everything. The house was great it is a bit outdated but we loved it. The management is so helpful when you ask them something you get an answer right away. The on site person Mike was wonderful when we called he was there the same day. We liked it so much we are booking again next year

The size of the house was just what we needed. The second master bathroom has some wet dry wall that should be taken care of. The one thing that we missed the most was that we thought the pool would at least have a solar cover. The reel for the cover was there but no cover. We didn't pay to heat it but the solar cover would have helped to warm it up.

Enjoyed our stay at Fay's house at Emerald!

I'm going to start with cons, so they aren't missed by readers... Pros are at the end. Overall - it was worth the stay; but was definitely not as nice as we were expecting. Cons: - The fridge wouldn't go below 50*. The freezer was fine, but at 50* food doesn't stay fresh for very long. The recommended fridge temperature is 37. They definitely need to get the fridge repaired to ensure proper storage of food. - The dishwasher needs to be repaired, or most likely, replaced. It cleaned the dishes, but was unbearably loud in the process. There is no way you can run the dishwasher at night, or even while you're in the house. - The door to the master bedroom is two inches shorter than the space for it - so there is a 2 inch gap between the floor and the base of the door; this contributed to the lack of sound proofing. - The wood flooring slats they have the pool table sitting on are wider than the pool table. Multiple toes were stubbed on them while my kids were playing pool. This would be a really easy fix - just trim the length of the boards down. - Multiple small things that needed to be fixed - like scuffs in the paint, loose tiles in the flooring, transition between tile floor and wood floors is chipped/broken/uneven. - Multiple drawers in dressers were broken or off the tracks. - Furniture is old and out dated. Couch cushions are stained and not very supportive. - Bathroom closest to pool didn't have working outlets. - Pros: - We loved the location. It was far enough away from the various parks that we didn't feel like we had crowds in our backyard, but close enough that the drive to the parks was not long. - The pool was a great feature; we paid extra for it to be heated and used it almost every day that we were there. - Having the privacy of our own rooms and multiple bathrooms was great for our group of 8 (2 couples and 4 kids). - The gated community gave a comfort of security. - The game tables - Quiet neighborhood/area. - Fun to see the various wildlife: lizards, frogs, birds, even an armadillo and opossum were spotted by people in our party. - Beds were comfortable, with plenty of blankets/pillows. - Plenty of dishes - including some tupperware. The only thing that wasn't available was a baking sheet. We purchased one and left it there.

Our first impression was the house was nice and located in a lush, carefully planned resort area. The 24/7 monitored security gate helped set our minds at ease about staying in an unfamiliar place. This is a spacious home with all accommodations on one level. 5 bedrooms. 3 full bathrooms with showers in each. The owners suite has a garden tub separate from the large walk-in tile shower. Full kitchen with nice countertops, newer oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and pantry. Plenty of dishes, cookware, silverware, and utensils. The coffee pot is old but functions. The general house furnishings are in poor condition. The beds aren't comfortable. The dressers are beaten up. There is significant paint wear on several walls. The couch cushions are junk. Just gross. The floors are generally good throughout but there are tile areas where you should be cautious. The blinds throughout need to be fixed. The pool floor is rough and feels dirty, although there is pool maintenance once a week. The place has an unusual smell that never faded after two months. It's such a shame a house that has so much potential and is structurally gorgeous is filled with uncomfortable, dirty things. Especially for the money we paid. Then there was a hurricane. We had followed the news saying things would get rough in central Florida. The house sits downhill from a huge slope. The ledge between the outside to the inside is a couple of inches at most. We started fearing for our safety from potential flooding and had been warned that there might be power outages. I have medical devices that require power, so I ended up finding a hotel ($500+ for 3 nights). We secured things inside and outside the home and got to the hotel. We watched activity on a doorbell camera we travel with up until about 8pm that night. We lost signal as things started ramping up and that's when power went out. When we got back to the place days later there were trees down in the neighborhood and two screens on the pool cage had been destroyed. The food in the fridge was spoiled. We lost an estimated $300-400 in a full freezer and fridge. There had been no communication prior to the hurricane from the owner with any guidance or suggestions about what we should do. We had never been through a hurricane. It seemed like they had forgotten about us or just didn't care. I reached out afterwards and updated Fay and Mike on the situation. There was little concern. No offer of financial adjustment. Disappointing.

The house is poorly kept Broken door knobs .Outdated Torn couch .Mold in the vents .Nasty front porch.No lights in the pool We would have left but my budget was already spent and could not afford it. Called and texted re lights in the pool felt it was a safety issue for my grandchildren.No response .We had like 4 plates total and 4 coffee cups.I have pictures if you would like me to forward I will be requesting some of my money back.Very dispointed Possibly my last time with VRBO

The house was nice and clean. Me and my family will definitely come back. Stores restaurants and amusement parks are close.
