Emerald Island Resort Homes for Sale
Community overview
A wooded resort setting remarkably close to Disney
Emerald Island is a guard-gated Kissimmee resort with distinct townhome and single-family neighborhoods.
Verified inventory spans three- and four-bedroom townhomes and four- through eight-bedroom single-family homes. Lake, water and conservation outlooks occur on some properties; the exact legal neighborhood, view, pool, garage and association responsibilities must be checked for every home.
Team Donovan helps buyers compare more than the bedroom count. We examine location within the community, property condition, pool orientation, furnishing quality, rental history, management arrangements, carrying costs and the competition a home is likely to face.
Property choices
Understand what you are buying
Individual homes vary considerably. Confirm the exact floor plan, updates, pool, furnishings, fees and rental position for every property.
Single-family homes (villas)
Verified resale inventory includes four- through eight-bedroom homes, with current examples from about 1,920 to 3,123 square feet. Private pools are common, but pool, spa, lot position, bedroom mix and renovation quality vary.
Resort features
Amenities owners and guests can use
Pool, clubhouse and fitness
Published resort facilities include a community pool, clubhouse, fitness areas, front-desk services, business facilities and guest gathering space.
Sport, games and play
Verified community amenity records include tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, mini golf, playground and arcade or game-room options.
Nature, food and social space
Walking trails and conservation views complement resort social space and published restaurant or bar service. Availability, hours and charges must be rechecked.
Amenity access, hours, charges and operating arrangements can change. Team Donovan will help verify the current position before contract.
Verified 2026 ownership costs
Emerald Island uses a master-plus-neighborhood fee structure
The correct total depends on whether the property belongs to the Villas townhome association or the Manors single-family association.
$672 per month combined
$367 master assessment + $305 Villas assessment. Confirm both components and their current inclusions on the master and neighborhood estoppels.
Local fee frequency under review
Current evidence supports a $367 monthly master assessment and a $115 Manors amount, but conflicts on whether the local amount is monthly or quarterly. Do not rely on one combined total until the current schedule or exact-property estoppel resolves the frequency.
Buyer and transfer charges
One-time master, neighborhood and transfer charges are recorded separately in current evidence. Confirm the exact amounts, applicability and contract allocation through current estoppels before relying on them.
A possible overnight guest-vehicle charge is intentionally not quoted because two current first-party sources conflict. Team Donovan will verify the current vehicle policy before a buyer relies on it.
Ownership intelligence
Rules and responsibilities still require property-specific checks
| Association structure | Every property pays the master assessment plus either the Villas townhome or Manors single-family neighborhood assessment. Confirm the exact legal association before comparing carrying costs. |
|---|---|
| Short-term rental | Short-term rental use is documented, but the structured rental-rule review remains partial. Entire-property rental and long-term approval/cap restrictions apply; confirm current governing documents, county licensing, occupancy and property eligibility. |
| Buyer charges | Budget separately for master, neighborhood and transfer charges, but use current property-specific estoppels for the amount, applicability and contract allocation. |
| Maintenance and insurance | Association coverage varies by property type. Confirm exterior, roof, structural-reserve and building-insurance responsibilities from current Villas or Manors documents. |
| Private pool | Inspect the surface, equipment, heater, enclosure and deck. Budget for servicing, utilities and future replacement; not every property has the same pool or spa features. |
| Management and bookings | Emerald Island does not require one central rental program. Review any existing management agreement, termination terms, bookings, owner-use restrictions and transfer arrangements. |
| Pets | Current manager confirmation reports no specific association pet restriction. Still verify governing documents, insurance requirements and any rental-manager rules for the property. |
| Vehicles and guests | Gate registration and overnight vehicle procedures can change. Obtain the current written policy rather than relying on a prior guest guide or listing description. |

Frequently asked questions
Emerald Island ownership, explained simply
How close is Emerald Island to Walt Disney World?
Emerald Island is in Kissimmee, Florida 34747. Route and travel time depend on the destination, traffic and time of day, so buyers should check the exact property against the places that matter to them.
What types of properties are available?
Verified resale inventory includes three- and four-bedroom townhomes and four- through eight-bedroom single-family homes. Current examples range from about 1,291 to 3,123 square feet, but active inventory changes.
What are the current Emerald Island HOA fees?
Current evidence supports a $367 monthly master assessment and $305 monthly Villas assessment. The $115 Manors amount has conflicting monthly-versus-quarterly evidence, so no universal Manors combined total is presented. Confirm the exact property with current estoppels.
Can I use an Emerald Island home as a short-term rental?
Short-term rental use is documented, but the detailed rental-rule review is still partial. Confirm entire-property requirements, longer-term approval and neighborhood-cap rules, county licensing and property-specific eligibility.
Do all single-family homes have private pools?
No. Private screened pools are common among single-family homes, but pool, spa, enclosure and outlook features vary. Townhomes generally rely more heavily on community facilities.
What amenities does Emerald Island offer?
Verified amenity records include clubhouse and pool facilities, fitness, restaurant or bar service, playground, tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, mini golf, walking trails, front-desk services, business facilities and arcade or game-room space. Hours and charges can change.
What should a seller prepare before listing?
Prepare both association records, rental and management documents, booking information where relevant, a complete furniture inventory, utility history and records of important improvements or replacements.
How does Team Donovan help international owners?
We coordinate the sale locally, provide clear remote updates and help owners understand preparation, contracts and closing, including when specialist tax or FIRPTA guidance is needed.
What are the pet rules?
Current manager confirmation reports no specific association pet restriction. Buyers should still confirm governing documents, insurance requirements and any rental-manager rules for the property.
