Housekeeping is included in your 7 night stay. If you stay with us for 6 nights or less, there is a fee of $150.00 for this service.

How do I obtain the key to the property?
Once your balance is paid for your rental period, we will send you a welcome packet which includes all of this information. Basically, when you arrive at the Emerald Island resort, the security guard at the gate will direct you to the clubhouse. At the clubhouse you will be given a parking tag to hang on the rearview mirror of your car. When you arrive at our Orlando Hideaway villa, there will be a lockbox outside to which you have been given the combination found in your welcome packet. Inside the lock box you will find the key to the villa.

What if a problem arises such as I cannot find my key or the air conditioner is not working?

Our villa is run by a very efficient management company who handles problems such as these that may arise during your stay. The number for the management company can be found in the villa and is also included in your welcome packet. (However, our villa is only a year old and any major problems are not expected!)
