About this property

5 STAR Beach Vacation on Destination Chanel 300 steps to the BEACH

Island Time is nestled in the picturesque Bonita Beach. This 7,200 SF sanctuary offers a stunning 800 SF rooftop deck, complete with 12 deck chairs, a fire pit, a hot tub with LED lights, Bluetooth speakers, and panoramic 360-degree views of both the Gulf and back bay waters. Watch the magical sunsets and sunrises, truly a sight to behold from the best vantage point in the home!
The home boasts 2,400 SF of elevated decks and a 2 ½ story cage over the unique pool and spa area, offering an additional 1,300 SF of outdoor living space. The spacious yard features a beach sand volleyball/badminton court and an 8ft x 8ft chess/checkers board that will entice the kids away from the beautiful white sugar sand beach, just a 550 ft walk away. The beach is the star attraction—calm, warm water, with dolphins playing as you relax.
Perfectly designed for family gatherings, Island Time has cozy corners for personal reflection and spacious areas for larger celebrations. The kids can enjoy the game room, while adults gather in the entertainment room, featuring a wet bar and high-top tables for 8, with additional seating for 12 when the room is opened to the deck. There are 5 large decks, plus 4 private bedroom balconies for a variety of gathering spots. Two fire pits and an outdoor fireplace ensure everyone has a perfect spot to enjoy tall tales under the stars.
The gourmet kitchen is a dream, featuring a commercial 6-burner gas cooktop, built-in convection ovens/microwaves, 2 wine refrigerators, and a commercial fridge. Outdoor decks are equipped with 2 state-of-the-art gas/inferred grills. The dining table seats 8, the outdoor table accommodates 6-8, and additional counter seating for 6 ensures everyone can join in on the fun of cooking and entertaining.
Each of the 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms has its own bath, with 4 King bedrooms featuring private balconies with Adirondack chairs. The bunk room is perfect for late-night ghost stories. The home also includes a cozy nook with 2 additional twin beds. With 10 televisions, Blu-ray players, internet streaming, and cable, there’s plenty of entertainment, though you might find the natural beauty of the island more than enough.
Island Time was designed as a family gathering hub. Its elevator makes it easy for both grandparents and toddlers to move comfortably between the 5 floors. A dedicated guest suite with its own kitchen and living room provides ample space for privacy while enjoying time together. Whether you're with family or friends, the space allows 14 people to enjoy the ultimate vacation experience together.

Island Time with Adults

Island Time is an excellent house for a group of people. The rooms are comfortable, and the kitchen is outstanding. The house is vertical, so someone with disabilities will need to use the elevator, which takes a little while to get used to.

Wonderful home!

Wonderfully clean and decorated home that is the perfect location steps away from the beach! Perfect home for extended family so everyone has own bedroom and bathroom plus multiple outdoor patios with comfortable furniture and outside dining to enjoy the ocean view from every level while relaxing with family! The rooftop chairs, hot tub and firepit were enjoyed every night to watch the sunset! All loved the pool and ground level hot tub too and the 20 plus chairs, 3 umbrellas, 20 beach towels, kids beach toys, and cart to take to beach was appreciated! The kitchen is amazingly well stocked with everything you need! The kids enjoyed the outdoor chess game and volleyball court. My 85 yr old mom appreciated the elevator too. We will be booking again for another family reunion!

We had an amazing trip! The house beautiful and the kitchen well equipped. 8 adults, 0 complaints.

We shared a week of Laughs, Great Food and plenty of pool time! The roof top is an amazing feature for late night fire pit talks and hot tub time. The weather cooperated and the trip could not have been better.

Birthday bash

House was spacious enough for all 11 guests, so much so we may have gotten lost a few times lol. 3 min walk to a a beautiful beach and the on-site private pool was a spot to relax as was the rooftop deck with ample seating and hot tub. Overall house met all our expectations!!

Wonderful Family House

Island Time is a wonderful family house. We had family ranging from age 11 to 82 on the trip and we all had our own space to spread out! We spent many hours in the pool during the day and in the hot tub in the evenings. We would recommend this house and hopefully we can come back again next year!

Perfect Island Time

Beautiful Home with lots of space for 4 Families, Adult Children and Grandchildren! Best stocked kitchen we have experienced in a rental. Nice pool, rooftop, and quick walk to the beach. Best sunsets Florida has to offer! Would love to spend more time in this house. Interior decorating was spectacular!

Island Time is Outstanding

Despite some hot tub and fireplace issues which the owners personally responded to promptly, it was a fabulous home to share with our adult children and grandchildren. You cant beat the location and the the house is fully furnished with all you need. An ipad controls the hot tubes/pool and frequently gave an error message, but a call to the owner allowed him to override. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Fab Stay

We had a wonderful experience at Island Time. There were 14 of us, all adults however my 3yr old grandbaby did visit during the daytime. We were all very comfortable. The hosts were extremely nice and prompt in their responses. The house is unbelievably well-stocked. They have pretty much everything you would need for a beach vacay with lots of space and areas of entertaining or just wanting to break away and relax. Beautiful views and sunsets. We will be back.

Fabulous 8 days in Bonita Springs.

There were 8 adults in our party and this place was perfect for our group. The furnishings and finish of this place was top notch. Each couple had their own en suite king bedroom. Plenty of space for all. We loved having the pool and the roof top sunsets are not to be missed. The elevator was very much appreciated especially for luggage and groceries. We had a couple minor issues, not even worth mentioning except for how responsive the host was. This was one of our best VRBO finds!

Spring Break Extended Family Getaway

My husband and I rented Island time for our extended family getaway. The house and location were perfect for our 9 adults and 7 young children. The pool was a constant source of fun, along with the hot tub, as was the beach which is just a short walk away. The views from this house are tremendous both towards the ocean and the canals behind. We enjoyed the rooftop views and sunset every night while there! Additionally, Rodney was very responsive to our questions and needs and even came over to check on something for us when we had a concern. We would definitely rent Island Time again!

Best beach house - best vacation

A group of lifelong friends get together every year for a long weekend. This time we chose this rental. By far it was our favorite. The house is amazing. The main kitchen is fully stocked with way more than we’ve ever seen in a rental. The pool is fantastic and the view from the rooftop deck was incredible. Adding to the wonderful experience - the owners, Rodney and Heidi could not have been more accommodating, generous and kind. We will definitely return again.

Beautiful, Perfectly Located Gem

We spent a long weekend here with our adult children. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated and was equipped with everything needed for a perfect beach vacation. The house easily accommodated eight adults, and could have comfortably fit several more. The multi-floor layout gives everyone privacy, but also provides ample room for gathering. Hosts Rodney & Heidi were incredibly attentive and helpful at every turn, from taking our calls and texts regarding operating all of the cool technology in the house to making awesome activity/food recommendations. Highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Rodney & Heidi Christianson

Host profile image
We recently retired to be with our grandchildren and children a bit more. But also to travel around the world. We have a motor coach which gives us lots of freedom to see this wonderful country we live in as well.
We built this house to be a hub for our family and friends and YOU to have a wonderful setting to make lots of MEMORIES with one another! Life can be so hectic and fast paced that we forget to just have FUN! ISLAND TIME is all about FUN! See for yourself!

Why they chose this property

If you want lots of options for togetherness and alone time, this is your perfect location. Rodney counted 61chairs on the exterior and 63 chairs in the interior. I really doubt that many rentals can claim that! Haha! It is really a unique property!

What makes this property unique

Our home is full of cozy spots to enjoy your time here. The 360 degree views are truly spectacular day and night!!! The water views are amazing but also the lights!
Of course, the BEST benefit is the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and all that it offers just steps away from your perfect little oasis!
