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 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.

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.

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 stay was pleasant. Although there were some minor issues initially, Rodney and Heidy promptly addressed them. The property is beautiful and conveniently located.
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…
If looking for a unique home, this is it. The beds are comfortable and there is no shortage of kitchen items. The showpiece is the roof top deck. The views are beautiful and the hot tub is the cherry on top. While washing dishes, I could see the dolphins jumping in the bay. Although there is an elevator in the home, there are a lot of stairs and the home is spread out. It's better suited for people that are in good shape as you will climb, A LOT. The main kitchen is on the 3rd floor. The elevator is tricky. The most important thing to remember is to ensure that you close each door firmly if you use it or the elevator will not travel to you due to the interlocking feature. The home is located in an area with residents and rentals. The locals are not warm and friendly and they make it quite clear they wish you weren't there. Be VERY mindful of using the public beach access points, there is one to the right and left of the home (look for numbered poles). They are about 600 feet away from the residence. If you go across the street and get on the beach there, you will learn some new "bad" words very quickly. You will also be monitored with binoculars by residents from their oceanside decks. These residents seem to serve as "beach police" and are faster than any fish in the ocean to "verbally attack". The home needs a deep cleaning, our feet were black, and there are crumbs everywhere. The TV's are confusing and the pool requires you use an app for operation. It didn't work.
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
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.

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!
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.
We had a wonderful time staying here! our only confusion upon check in was there were no keys in the elevator lobby, but luckily the house was unlocked. the view from the rooftop is stunning. Perfect location and short walk to the beach! we enjoyed the pool, spa, volleyball and hot tub. perfect place for large groups!

Naples is buzzing, but Island Time is the place to be I South Florida. Great location and plenty of space for multiple people/families.
Owners communicate in a timely manner and this house has everything you need for a great trip to the beach!
Highly recommend island time for your next trip to south Florida!

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!
