Luxury 4 BR / 3 Bath Villa with Private Pool and Spa in Guarded Gated Resort Close to Disney
Welcome to the Disney Getaway Villa, located in the beautiful and luxurious Emerald Island Resort. This villa is “the one” for your magical vacation. Why stay in a cramped hotel when you can spread out in a villa with more for less? When you are finished with an exhausting day at the renowned Orlando area theme parks and attractions, you don’t want a bustling hotel… come home to a private villa with its own pool to unwind, discuss the day’s highlights and prepare for the next day’s adventure.
The Disney Getaway features fresh modern and comfortable accommodations with extraordinary amenities. Remodeled from top to bottom in 2023 with fresh paint, all new flooring, granite countertops, all new lighting, ceiling fans, fixtures and blinds plus new living, dining and master bedroom furniture and mattresses. The game room was also remodeled with new games (including a brand-new pool table). For non-park days, there is a covered lanai and a private pool with attached spa and plenty of deck space for sun lounging. Your family will have fun for hours and make memories for a lifetime! Even the landscaping was refreshed, with tropical plants added around the pool cage for increased privacy. The result is a great space for couples, groups and families with a spacious open concept living space, room for up to 8 guests and fun for all ages. The perfect place to unwind after the parks and attractions, or just to spend the day enjoying Florida.
Location, location, location!
The Emerald Island Resort is located just minutes from Disney World and 30 minutes or so from the other Orlando area attractions (Universal Studios, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, etc.). It is the closest private gated and guarded resort to Disney World. The resort boasts an impressive winding palm-lined entry leading to the gated entrance with manned security for peace of mind, as well as resort-style amenities such as pools, a tiki bar, sports courts (tennis, basketball, pickleball, shuffleboard), playgrounds (tot lots), a fitness room, mini golf, sauna, nature trails and more.
There are easy access roads to get to Disney World quickly from the resort as well as numerous grocery, dining and shopping options along the 192. The recently built Margaritaville Resort is a stone’s throw away and has exciting restaurants and shopping venues as well as a large water park.
Perfect Accommodations!
The home is located near the center of the resort and has four bedrooms with 3 full baths (2 ensuite) and an open concept living space. Best of all, it has a lovely lanai for al fresco dining and a private heated swimming pool with attached spa and underwater lighting for evening swims - enclosed with screens to avoid the Florida bugs, and a child safety screen that can be removed (pool heat is an extra charge). The garage has been converted into a game room for fun on those non-park or rainy days.
The master bedroom is located at the rear of the house and features a king bed, walk-in closet, sliding door to the pool and an ensuite bathroom with its own door directly to the pool deck (a “must have” for quick bio breaks on pool days).
The second master is very separate from the other bedrooms and living space, located in the front of the villa, and features a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom.
The remaining two bedrooms are located in the hallway down from the master - one has a twin-over-full bunk bed and the other has two twin beds... both with Disney theming. These two bedrooms share the 3rd full bath (which is also accessible from the rest of the villa).
The living space is comprised of an open family room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen and breakfast nook that overlooks the pool. The total sleeping capacity for the villa is 8. There is dining seating for 8, as well as 2 breakfast bar stools.
Please see the pictures for a floorplan diagram.
Premium Amenities!
There is a large screen TV (55”) in the family room with Roku (and an Xbox 360), plus TVs in each bedroom. Each TV has cable channels, and most have built in smart capabilities (Roku). There is a DVD player in the family room with a huge library of DVDs for your use. The villa includes high-speed Wi-Fi internet at no additional cost. Other “extras” abound throughout the house, including a BBQ grill on the lanai available for your use as well as a highchair, stroller, pack 'n play, some toys and stuffed animals, plus other family-friendly amenities.
Finally, the garage is a game room and is teeming with fun! It contains new full-sized pool and foosball tables, a 50" Roku TV with a 2-player stand-up arcade console (with 5,000 games), a for-fun slot machine (tokens), a putting green, plus 2 bicycles and 3 sets of golf clubs for guests' use. The laundry area is also located in the game room.
Please be aware that there are exterior security cameras located on the premises, including a blink video doorbell. The doorbell motion detection is turned off after arrival but activates if the doorbell is pressed. The other cameras are located on each side of the house - one to monitor the pool equipment and the other to monitor the trash bin, plus one aimed at the driveway, and do record if there is motion. We respect your privacy and there are no cameras inside or pointed at the pool area, of course.
Please carefully review the rental agreement prior to booking. Proceeding with booking constitutes acceptance of the rental agreement and house rules. Also make sure to request pool heat if desired (added nightly charge).

About the host: Hi! We're Mark and Lisa and we have 3 adult sons... we all love visiting Disney World and all of the other exciting attractions in the Orlando area. Being from Southeast Michigan, it is especially nice to get away from our gray winters. Once in a while we fly down, but normally we drive and visit with family on the way there.
Why this property? We frequently rented villas and homes in the Disney area for family vacations for years and finally purchased one of our own! After experiencing many communities in the area we found that the absolute best location is near the Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy (192) and Formosa Gardens Blvd, with Emerald Island Resort being the standout location. So, when it came time to buy, we patiently waited until just the right one became available! We love visiting our villa ourselves and sharing with other guests and families for their "magical vacations".

KayDee K.Disney Family Trip 2024
We were completely unprepared for what to expect traveling after 2 hurricanes but this was a family of 9 that had planned this for over 6 months. Mark was so helpful with following up with my emails and keeping me in the loop. I had a couple last minute requests that he made happen without even batting an eye. The house is so amazing and spacious plenty of room for kids and adults to have time to themselves. We love this rental and will definitely stay again.

Stuart R.Disney Gateway Villa's prime location, pool, and games room made our family vacation unforgettable.
Our recent 7-day stay at this villa exceeded all expectations, creating cherished memories for my wife, daughter, and me. The villa's prime location allowed for easy access to Universal Studios and other Orlando attractions, making our daily adventures a breeze.The pool, the centerpiece of our relaxation, beckoned us every day! The villa's generous size provided ample space for each of us to unwind and enjoy privacy, while the games room, especially the foosball table, became a hub of laughter and friendly competition, particularly for our daughter.The secure gated community added an extra layer of tranquility, and the staff were friendly and helpful during our stay.Celebrating our daughter's birthday at this wonderful villa made it an extra special occasion that she'll treasure forever. We wholeheartedly recommend this villa to any family seeking an unforgettable Orlando vacation.

Wayne M.Fabulous home
Have just returned from a wonderful fortnight at Mark and Lisa’s villa. We have been lucky enough to stay in a number of villas and condos in the Orlando area and this one is, without doubt, our absolute favourite. The facilities and equipment (golf clubs, bicycles etc) go way over and above what you’d expect to be provided and the location and resort of Emerald Island is wonderful. Also, Mark and Lisa were absolutely first class in their communication and advice. We will certainly be back here in the future.

Jason D.Disney Getaway Villa - Emerald Island
Having just stayed a week in Mark & Lisa’s vacation rental, we can’t recommend it enough.We are a family of 4 (2 teenage daughters) and there was more than enough space.The accommodation was easy to access and all directions given were very clear. The villa was extremely clean and tidy, rooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the required equipment and more!Staying in July, we didn’t request pool heating, and it certainly wasn’t needed. Very secure for families with young children too, due to the security features.Although we didn’t have much time to use it, the games room was awesome.Location was excellent. Only minutes from all the Disney parks and plenty of restaurants to choose from on the 192. Emerald Island resort is extremely safe too due to the gated community, and the tree lined streets made it look very homely.Would thoroughly recommend.

Ian O.Perfect Villa
Just had a week here with my family, what can I say, the villa is in a fantastic location, really close to Disney, the villa is spotlessly clean and has everything you need, it is in a safe, secure gated area. The hosts, Mark and Lisa took the time to keep in touch and make sure everything was as we wanted. If you are looking for a villa in the Disney area and Disney Gateway Villa can accommodate, just book, you won't be disappointed.

Christina M.First Class Villa accommodation.
Stayed at this super clean, beautifully furnished villa for two weeks. Have rented villas in this area previously but not on the Emerald Isle Resort - which is gorgeous and feels very safe thanks to the gated community and professional gate house guards. The villa is furnished to a high standard and our family could not fault with anything at all. The beds are very comfortable and have a real quality feel about them . There’s a very well stocked games room and the family favourite which is the jacuzzi and pool. We travelled from the UK for the parks but reduced our plans to spend more time at the villa and the pool. T.Vs are in every room with ‘Hulo’ ( I think that’s the name? ) so many channels for everyone’s preference for viewing. Kitchen also well stocked with more than enough items for every need. 2 weeks wasn’t enough and now we have stayed at the best, no other accommodation will do! Hope to be back real soon.

Don & Cathy G.March 2024 Family Vacation
We enjoyed 3 wonderful weeks at Disney Getaway Villa. The villa was very clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you need. It is close to all amenities such as groceries, dining ,Disney , shopping and Emerald Island Resort is very secure, safe and well maintained. The pool and spa provided hours of fun and relaxation. We especially loved having a grill available for cooking . The owner, Mark was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns and we so appreciated that. Our grandkids, ages 5, 8 and 11 joined us for a week and loved the games room!! We highly recommend this Villa and would love to return. Thanks again Mark and Lisa for allowing us to stay at your beautiful villa!

Dorie N.Perfect Villa close to Disney World

We used the hot tub every night after a long day at the parks.Emerald Island Resort was beautiful, secure and a short drive to the parks each day. It was also close to shopping and food options.I can't say enough about Mark and Lisa. Mark was always very quick to respond with questions during the booking process, before our arrival and during our stay. The communication was superb and much appreciated.I would highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a great place to stay! Thank you Mark and Lisa for sharing your lovely home.

Denise B.2024 Family Vacation
This Villa is superb! We had an awesome family vacation / everything you needed at the home, including baby supplies, games, etc. Mark and Lisa the owners were excellent to deal with (responded to questions quickly and always helpful with advice/information). We went on a pontoon boat ride in Tampa, Magic Kingdom, Gatorland, Seaworld, Top Golf and many golf games at Mystic Dunes. We spent many days in the pool and hot tub and nights playing pool in games room. Thank you very much for the us

Hedy & Keith W.The villa and Emerald Island resort was amazing.
Emerald island resort is close to everything and that includes Disneyland. The villa had everything you need and was decorated nicely. Beds were super comfy. Pool and hot tub were great and used everyday (we opted for the pool heat). I can’t say enough about this villa. We were very comfortable. The games room was fun for everyone. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks Mark.

Julia B.Perfect Family Vacation Location
The villa was beautifully clean, well maintained and had comfortable beds and pillows. The kitchen had everything that we needed. The games room was awesome, as was the pool and hot tub. Location was also excellent for everything Disney, 10-20 mins to all the parks, plus several supermarkets within 10 mins drive. Our host was very responsive when messaged (thanks!). We were a family of 7; 2 couples and 3 children and there was plenty of space. We loved everything about this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a property for a family holiday.

Helen T.Beautiful villa
We have stayed in villas in Orlando before, but this villa was superior! The gated community was great, very quiet and it felt so safe. The accommodation was clean and fixtures/fittings in excellent condition. Carpets in the bedrooms was a luxury you don’t often get in villas for hire, and made it feel so homely. The games room was a hit with all of us and provided fun away from the theme parks. Lastly the pool! This was great, and something we are missing back in the UK. Mark and Lisa were fantastic, from my initial enquiry right through to getting home. Very friendly and helpful owners who went out of their way to make our stay perfect. I would highly recommend this villa!

Sian L.Happy Holidays
We couldn't fault our stay at Disney Getaway Villa, we had a great time. We were a group of four adults and two children (aged 11 and 6) and the villa provided everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. It's definitely a home from home. It was lovely to relax in the pool and jacuzzi after a hectic day in the parks and the washing machine and tumble drier were extremely handy! The keyless entry to the villa saved the worry of losing keys. We have recommended the villa and Emerald Island Resort to anyone who is thinking of visiting Florida. It really does have everything you need and the location was perfect for us. Thank you Mark and Lisa for sharing your lovely home.
