About this property

Luxury 6BR Estate | Rooftop Hot Tub | Pool | 3-Min Walk to Gulf Beach | Sleeps 14

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.

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.

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!

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…

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

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.

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!
