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.
The surrounding area offers incredible restaurants, happy hours, live music, and shopping—guidance is provided upon reservation, ensuring you make the most of your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Rodney & Heidi Christianson
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!
