7-bedroom pool home with spa and game room, Emerald Island, sleeps 14

Seven bedrooms give two or three families room to spread out: two kings, two queens, and three rooms with twin beds for the children. Your private screened pool has a raised spa, loungers, and a shaded lanai. Indoors, the game room has a pool table, foosball, and air hockey. The home sleeps 14 and has 4.5 bathrooms at gated Emerald Island Resort in Kissimmee, about 5 miles from Disney’s Animal Kingdom and 9 from Magic Kingdom.

KITCHEN AND LIVING
There are two places to sit: a family room with a flat-screen TV that opens onto the pool deck, and a separate living room at the front of the house. The kitchen has a breakfast island, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster, and the dining table is beside the living room. There is a washing machine and dryer, and Wi-Fi.

EMERALD ISLAND CLUBHOUSE
The clubhouse has a pool, hot tub, and tiki bar, a fitness centre, and game rooms. Around the resort are mini golf, tennis and volleyball courts, three children’s playgrounds, and a walking trail. The resort runs the clubhouse, and its hours can change.

GETTING IN
Emerald Island is gated. Your names are entered at the gate, and the resort emails you a link to register your vehicles; the resort charges $20 plus tax per vehicle. You let yourselves into the home with a private door code, which we send you before you arrive.

GOOD TO KNOW
Pool and spa heating is optional: $35 a night, with a 4-night minimum. The spa is a raised part of the pool, not a separate hot tub. The home does not come with a grill, but you can rent a gas grill for your stay. You arrive to a starter supply of coffee, soap, shampoo and conditioner, dishwasher tabs, laundry pods, trash bags, and bathroom tissue. Smoking is allowed outside only. For stays longer than 90 nights, please send us an enquiry.
