Great place, loved the layout. The 2 separate kitchens and living areas and washer dryers were nice to have. We had 3 moms and 3 teen daughters for spring break. Good location and close to beach.

We had a great stay for our weekend trip. The house is close to several restaurants and the beach. We loved having the two kitchens to store all of our foods and drinks.
The only issue we had was after being in the house for a few hours with no shoes on the bottoms of our feet were black.

Vacation 2022
I really like being close to the beach and pool and this property did that. The pool was about 10 houses down from where we were. There was a small tunnel you could walk through to get beach side. For most of the week the tunnel was full of water and tadpoles so you couldnât walk through it. After 3-4 days the city I believe came and sucked the water out and you could use it.
There were some issues with the house. There were many lightbulbs out which I did call about. The upstairs tub drained extremely slow. The upstairs toilet chain kept coming undone and the flush handle would swivel around. The locks on the upstairs bathroom didnât work..actually the door wouldnât shut all the way. The master bathroom downstairs the door wouldnât lock. Those are a few things that need fixed.
There was a lake in the back that had pretty cool turtles to see.
For the most part we had a good time.
It would be nice if the property had bikes or a golf cart.
Thanks for having us Florida

An honest review:
Location is what really shines through with this property. You are walking distance from the beautiful sandy beach! By walking distance I mean less than 5 min! There is also a beautiful lake behind the property. The view is gorgeous! Both kitchens had ample space and were practical/efficient. Washer and dryer both upstairs/downstairs is also a plus.
The cons:
This site was not cleaned as thoroughly as I would have preferred. Even more so when you are paying for a cleaning fee upon booking. I have attached some pictures to show what I mean. There were areas that we had to vacuum (good thing we brought one) and when we mopped with our makeshift mop the rag was pretty dingy. The rail that goes upstairs we wiped with a Clorox wipe and it was black from dirt in just one swipe. Even that until this point is tolerable. What really was the tipping point is when I changed the sheets in one of the bedrooms (because there were a couple hairs on the sheets on the bed, again good thing I brought my own) there were stains from what looked like all sorts of bodily fluids or even blood on the mattress. Which has me questioning weather they even changed the sheets or if they did and didnât care to clean it or replace the mattress or buy a mattress protector. When we called to complain and let them know there were a lot of areas that seemed dusty/ and or not cleaned we were simply told âwe donât do thatâ. No intent of fixing the situation. By that point we had already cleaned the place and was too late to book elsewhere.
If location Is your primary focus you will love the place. If cleanliness is your focus I would suggest you find another place or come prepared to work before enjoying your stay here. There was also no pump hand soap in the bathrooms/kitchens and just one toilet roll in the bathroom so plan accordingly. Hope this review helps someone else when looking at booking this place!

Excellent views and location!
We loved staying at this quiet lake view property within a short walking distance to the beach. I canât give the property 5 stars because the downstairs bathroom had a terrible shower head and the upstairs master bathroom tub was very slow to drain. Overall, a wonderful property!

Family Gathering
The house was very nice and clean when we arrived.
The only complaints I have is if the owners have read the reviews concerning the sofa bed on the first floor, then it should have been replaced. You cannot even enjoy it as a sofa let alone utilize the sofa bed! This need to be replaced ASAP!
The deadbolts on the doors used to exist onto the porch or balcony's will not lock all the way, this does create a safe issue for those who want the security of the deadbolt.
The heating system is not balanced at all! The living area is cold and the bedrooms are like a furnace. The HVAC needs to be balanced for sure.
Other than those items mentioned, it is a great house with a great location.

Family Thanksgiving Trip
We normally stay in a condo but our family is growing so we decided to get a house this year. Now I have to admit, we will want to stay in a beach home from now own. Emerald Villa was just perfect for our family.
We rented both units so we had more than enough room. This place was amazing! The kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect. The rental process was very simple.
The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the size of the back deck. It really does need to be extended so you can sit out there and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake without being so crowded.
I definitely recommend staying at this beautiful beach home!

Nice place
Very nice place nice location. The sofas need replaced. They are âunsittableâ if that is a word. The two rooms with the King beds were great, but the other two rooms a standard bed in one and two twins in the other?? Really? You need to upgrade those two other rooms to have queens in them. I left a message for the property manager with a question about which pool we should use since the unit we were in was right next to the swimming pool and it shows that pool in the photographs in the ads. But I did not get a return phone call from the property manager on Sunday or Monday. I had to ask existing residents which pool we should use. Other than that things went well

Great location
This location was perfect for our stay. The house was really nice and any concern we had management was on top of it. We will definitely recommend this home.
