Pet-friendly 5-bedroom pool home with spa and game room, Emerald Island

Picture the kids in your own screened pool, and you in the bubbling spa, after a day at the parks. This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sleeps 10 at gated Emerald Island Resort in Kissimmee, about 5 miles from Disney's Animal Kingdom and 9 from Magic Kingdom. It is also one of the few homes where your dog can come too.

THE POOL
Step out from the family room to a south-facing screened pool with a raised, bubbling spa. The deck has sun loungers and a table under an umbrella for meals outside. For families with little ones, there is a safety fence between the house and the pool.

A GAME ROOM FOR THE EVENINGS
Your private game room is air-conditioned, with a full-size pool table, an air hockey table and a dartboard. It is where the family ends up when nobody is ready for bed.
