Our stay at this property was very enjoyable. We traveled with our three teenagers who all had plenty of space in their own rooms. Everything was clean and tidy. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. There was about a 12 minute drive to the beach. Our host Elsa was kind and communication was efficient. Thank you Elsa!Lauren and family

Cute little place, perfect for a business trip

Great overall, plenty of towels for the beach showers. Kitchen was pretty basic, no oils or spices or anything, but not a deal breaker. Walking distance to Publix, in a seemingly nice neighborhood. Overall a great place to crash on our business trip.

Island Time House is a home away from home with a tropical vacation mode. We no longer offer spices or any food items due to people concerned about food allergies and individual choices. We are located within a very short walking distance to supermarket, restaurant, coffee shop, pharmacy and banking. This location is ideal for guests to purchase personal items of their choice.

A cute little place

This house was just perfect for what my sisters and mom and I needed. There were 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and it was well kept. It had a great location, with anything we needed a short drive away. Elsa was very accommodating, answering any questions I had promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

A great house with everything you need.

The property and owners are great! We stayed with a family of 6 very comfortably. The neighborhood was quite and safe. We loved having a little back yard to grill our catch of the day. The owners were so helpful with any questions about the property and the surrounding areas! We were completely satisfied with our stay. Vinnie and Kayla

Lovely house

Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Clean, and tidy. Bathrooms are large and the entire house is handicapped accessible. The backyard was very well kept and a nice place to sit at night and enjoy a glass of wine. The house is not “on the beach” but is only a few miles from most things. We had a great stay and Elsa is a fantastic host.

Perfect place for a family

Really enjoyed the house. Plenty of room. Very clean. Kitchen had all we needed for Thanksgiving dinner cooking. Great backyard. Was not aware it was a handicap accessible house but that was not an issue. Only issue was the medicine cabinet hung out a touch to much over the sink in the master bath. Made it a little awkward brushing teeth. No doubt we will stay there next year.
