| Emerald Island Resort is one of the most popular VillaDirect vacation home communities - it's almost every guests favorite place to stay....with many demanding it by name when they return year after year! Emerald Island Resort community is an exclusive development of spacious, executive 4, 5, 6 and 7 bedroom vacation homes, rental pool homes, and 3 and 4 bedroom town-homes all surrounding an exclusive, fully featured resort clubhouse with many amenities for guests to enjoy. A secondary resort pool, spa and cabana for the exclusive use of guests staying in the town homes (those guests can also use the main clubhouse if they wish). As you enter you immediately find yourself in a luscious sub-tropical resort, with driveway that stretches toward a manned security gate house and through to the stunning entrance rotunda with a Dolphin Fountain at the center, sweepingaround to the clubhouse and facilities. The club house has a reception area which sells newspapers and sundries and provides information for guests staying at the resort. There's a guest lounge where you can meet other families staying in Emerald Island. The kids can enjoy themselves in the games room, or on the video arcade games provided, and you can "keep in touch" while on vacation with the IT center that provides high-speed internet access for guests. If you want to "work-off" some of that extra food you'll enjoy while on vacation, or simply keep the program on track - take the time to use the fully-equipped fitness center at Emerald Island, work out with a game of volleyball on the sandy court with some new friends, enjoy a game or two on the tennis court or "shoot some hoops" on the press-court. The clubhouse features a sparkling pool and hot-tub/spa pool for guests to enjoy, and there's a sun-deck to drench yourself in the Florida "rays" or to sit under the shade of a gazebo. If it gets too hot for you under the hot Florida sunshine, or if you want some nightlife with other guests around - why not come and enjoy the Tiki Bar by the pool side? As stated earlier, many of the homes and town homes in the resort can also choose to enjoy their own local community pools and cabanas in addition to the main club house. A shuttle service is available from the club house to take guests to and from the theme parks and attractions of central Florida (ask at the club house for times and details). Emerald Island resort is surrounded by conservation woodland, and there are nature trails for "courageous" guests to explore including wonderful picnic and grill areas. Emerald Island Resort is developed by Park Square Homes, and has "sister" resorts located in Kissimmee and in Davenport, Florida. If you would like to view other similar homes, or if there are no vacation homes available for the dates you searched, be sure to look at the Terra Verde Resort or the Solana Resort while on this web site. Emerald Island is located off Hwy 192 West at Mile Marker 4 - approximately 3 miles from the Disney theme parks. With lots of extra amenities and features it is one of the most popular destinations for families visiting Orlando, Kissimmee and Florida. Just 5 minutes from the entrance, guests will find the famous highway 192 - and the Formosa Gardens shopping mall and eatery. Some of the best known restaurants are located at Formosa Gardens, with an Outback Steak House, Red Lobster, Giordano's Chicago Pizza restaurant, Carabba's Italian, Cracker Barrel, Chinese, Subway and Taco Bell takeaways, as well as shops, a Winn Dixie supermarket, and much more. To get to Emerald Island resort, follow Highway 192 West from the VillaDirect office to Mile Marker 4, where you'll see the Red Lobster restaurant on your left. At the intersection, take a left turn, and follow Formosa Gardens Blvd for 3/4 mile to the intersection with Funnie Steed.
