This was the perfect property for our family. Each family had a separate living quarter with a full bathroom. We utilized the balconies as well as the rooftop where we watched the Artemis II take off. We enjoyed the pool daily.The location was a very short walk to the beach, and a beach cart was provided to take things back and forth. Also, the convenience of the elevator and the cart provided to take groceries up upon arrival was a great perk. Our grown children all voted to return to this house on a future family vacation. I recommend watching the video to get a good grasp on the way the property is set up, but even after watching it, the home was a nice surprise!
The stay was pleasant. Although there were some minor issues initially, Rodney and Heidy promptly addressed them. The property is beautiful and conveniently located.
Beautiful home in a great location. Incredibly well stocked with serving and cooking dishes. Pool was warm and lovely. Rooftop deck had beautiful views and enjoyed both the hot tub and fire pit up there. We were there for Christmas and the owner had put out many Christmas decorations including a tree which really was unexpected and so appreciated.
The house itself has a great location. However, the host needs some major service on the house and communication improvements to renters. Upon arrival, the advertised hot tub on the roof, was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned. There was sand in the roof spa as well as all inside of the pool. The device to turn on the pool spa was broken before arrival and never replaced for our use. We were not told when or if pool service vendors would be onsite… the owners response times was typically 2 hours and required multiple texts/phone calls. Also upon arrival , one of the bunk beds was broken and had nails sticking out. Thankfully that bed was repaired while we stayed. This stay could have been great vacation but the poor response and broken amenities removed the ability to fully enjoy the home. Disappointed…
House was awesome, full stocked with everything we needed. The property owners were great to work with. Close to the beach and restaurants, shopping etc.

We thank you and hope you return again and again! We aim to make your experience amazing in that the decks take in all the beauty our setting has to offer! Water, sky and fire to extend the pleasure!
It was great stat the owners were responsive and pleasant to assist in any situation. The hot tub in the roof was a huge reason we chose the place but the screen broke . Not the owners fault the screen just broke but they had a pool guy there in seconds to fix it felt like. Meant a lot and the family had so much fun there from 1 to 67 we all had a blast . Youll regret not staying here
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.
The property was amazing. It was as advertised. 13 of us celebrated my wife's 50th birthday & we had a blast. My apologies for 1 of my friends walking through the neighbor's yard across the street in a hurry to get to sunset on the beach. Other than that, it was a perfect weekend.
The house has all the bells and whistles!Very clean. Family enjoyed the chess set, spa and pool.Also enjoyed relaxing on the outdoor porch.Elevator was a bit quirky and our ch
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.

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!
