Information on Emerald Island Resort

Emerald Island Resort is surrounded by 300 acres of genuine wildlife conservation area (just look on Google Earth), which includes a large shady woodland area of natural woodland in the centre of the community. Only 3 miles from Walt Disney World and a very short walk or drive to shopping and restaurants, this luxury resort serves as a relaxing haven from the hustle & bustle, with everything that Central Florida has to offer on it's doorstep.

At the centre of activity for the community is the large clubhouse with luxurious heated community swimming pool. Sun loungers and a large deck area are free to use and make it a perfect place for a days sunbathing with alcoholic drinks available from the poolside Tiki Bar.

The well equipped clubhouse caters for everyone including a spa with hot tub, sauna / steam room, an informal meeting room and a cyber cafe. The clubhouse staff are at hand to help with planned resort activities, ground transportation to parks, local restaurant reservations and even attraction tickets. A sundries shop in the clubhouse provides essentials and DVD hire.

The impressively lush landscaped grounds throughout the resort also feature a children's play area. Opposite to the clubhouse is a wooded walking trail for walking, jogging, or cycling that winds through the community's natural woodland surroundings. After a long day at the nearby attractions or shopping, Emerald Island makes the perfect retreat.

The lakes in and around Emerald Island are well stocked with fish and fishing is permitted anywhere on Emerald Island as long as you have your own equipment - word of warning though is keep to the boardwalks and not to wade into the water, otherwise as you will find anywhere, where there is naturally deep freshwater in Florida, you may attract the wrong attention from an alligator.

Emerald Island Resort offers 3 bed townhouses, as well as villas with private pools. The luxury Villas range are available with up to 8 bedrooms, allowing groups of up to 16 guests to stay together in one villa reducing vacation costs for all.

The latest trend is to rent a vacation townhouses as they offer the renter a home-away-from-home travel luxury. They have every convenience of a luxury hotel room (i.e. towels, cleaning service, cable TV, clubhouse amenities etc..) plus all the bonus of having your own home, including state of the art kitchen appliances, full dinnerware and glassware sets, cookware, and your very own laundry room for personal use.
