We continuously update our resort reviews. For Emerald Island Resort, our initial evaluation resulted in a rating of Good/Premium for these vacation villas. We would like to reiterate our resort review for Emerald Island after a recent on-site evaluation. No more than 25% of the reviewed communities attain this distinction.

The resort review of Emerald Island rentals is a blending of multiple areas to formulate the composite resort rating including:

* Cleanliness of Resort Grounds

* Appearance of Community Overall

* Overall Quality of Community Amenities

Emerald Island rental choices include mostly 2 to 4 bedroom vacation homes and townhomes. The exterior aesthetics of the vacation rentals differ (Refer to our video footage of the resort), but all rentals are updated and modern. The common areas are good especially the strong sense of arrival with fountains and outdoor seating areas.

The Emerald Island homeowners community amenities include pool, playground, barbecue, volleyball, fitness room, whirlpool spa and nature trail. We did find the resort pool to be on the smallish side especially considering the size of the community. However, Emerald Island Kissimmee is a luxurious destination for any family or group visiting the Orlando area, and our review of Emerald Island Resort reflects this favorable rating.
