6-bedroom pool home with spa and game room, Emerald Island, 5 mi to Disney

Six bedrooms, four with their own bathroom, give three generations room to spread out. Your private screened pool has a raised spa and faces south over open parkland. Indoors, the game room has a pool table, air hockey, and darts. The home sleeps 13 and has 5.5 bathrooms at gated Emerald Island Resort in Kissimmee, about 5 miles from Disney’s Animal Kingdom and 9 from Magic Kingdom.

THE POOL
Your own screened pool faces south and looks out over open parkland. A raised, bubbling spa spills into the pool, the deck has sun loungers, and the shaded lanai has a table for meals outside. For families with little ones, there is a safety fence between the house and the pool.

GAME ROOM
The game room has a 7-foot pool table, an air hockey table, a dartboard, board games, and a games console with seating. It keeps the children busy while dinner is on.
