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.

Wonderful home!

Wonderfully clean and decorated home that is the perfect location steps away from the beach! Perfect home for extended family so everyone has own bedroom and bathroom plus multiple outdoor patios with comfortable furniture and outside dining to enjoy the ocean view from every level while relaxing with family! The rooftop chairs, hot tub and firepit were enjoyed every night to watch the sunset! All loved the pool and ground level hot tub too and the 20 plus chairs, 3 umbrellas, 20 beach towels, kids beach toys, and cart to take to beach was appreciated! The kitchen is amazingly well stocked with everything you need! The kids enjoyed the outdoor chess game and volleyball court. My 85 yr old mom appreciated the elevator too. We will be booking again for another family reunion!

Nice house except for a few things

Overall, the house worked out very well for our group. There are bedrooms on 3 different floors which allowed us to have space apart when we wanted it. The main kitchen and dining table were large enough for all of us to gather together for meals. For the most part, the house supplies everything you could need. A few amenities that are highlighted in the listing were not in working order— main fireplace, a few ceiling fans, issues with/ difficulty operating the rooftop hot tub, so that was a little disappointing. There is definitely a learning curve to operating the elevator and pool/hot tub heaters, but they were nice to have around once we figured them out. Elevator got stuck once (thankfully no one was trapped in it) and hosts were helpful in diagnosing the problem (circuit breaker tripped.)

Fab Stay

We had a wonderful experience at Island Time. There were 14 of us, all adults however my 3yr old grandbaby did visit during the daytime. We were all very comfortable. The hosts were extremely nice and prompt in their responses. The house is unbelievably well-stocked. They have pretty much everything you would need for a beach vacay with lots of space and areas of entertaining or just wanting to break away and relax. Beautiful views and sunsets. We will be back.

Spring Break Extended Family Getaway

My husband and I rented Island time for our extended family getaway. The house and location were perfect for our 9 adults and 7 young children. The pool was a constant source of fun, along with the hot tub, as was the beach which is just a short walk away. The views from this house are tremendous both towards the ocean and the canals behind. We enjoyed the rooftop views and sunset every night while there! Additionally, Rodney was very responsive to our questions and needs and even came over to check on something for us when we had a concern. We would definitely rent Island Time again!

Fabulous 8 days in Bonita Springs.

There were 8 adults in our party and this place was perfect for our group. The furnishings and finish of this place was top notch. Each couple had their own en suite king bedroom. Plenty of space for all. We loved having the pool and the roof top sunsets are not to be missed. The elevator was very much appreciated especially for luggage and groceries. We had a couple minor issues, not even worth mentioning except for how responsive the host was. This was one of our best VRBO finds!

Birthday bash

House was spacious enough for all 11 guests, so much so we may have gotten lost a few times lol. 3 min walk to a a beautiful beach and the on-site private pool was a spot to relax as was the rooftop deck with ample seating and hot tub. Overall house met all our expectations!!

Island Time is Outstanding

Despite some hot tub and fireplace issues which the owners personally responded to promptly, it was a fabulous home to share with our adult children and grandchildren. You cant beat the location and the the house is fully furnished with all you need. An ipad controls the hot tubes/pool and frequently gave an error message, but a call to the owner allowed him to override. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

It was just alright

It’s was a decent property and even though we had terrible weather we had fun as a group. But for such a large amount of money to rent a house like this I expected everything to be perfect and working. The hot water didn’t work in a bunch of the showers. The refrigerator was broken and then during the stay the freezer broke. There was a back up fridge but it wasn’t nearly big enough for that many people. The 2 grills were poorly maintained and hardly got hot. The floors were dirty when we got there and half of our group didn’t want to take their shoes off the whole time we were there. The volleyball court is not a volleyball court. It is so small small children couldn’t play on it. There is grass growing in it, so many rocks and shells that if you walked on it barefoot you’d probably slice your foot open not to mention it is on the main road. But the weirdest thing might have been that we were told by the owner that we were going to have the property manager stop by and check in on us from time to time to make sure we weren’t violating some of the many many rules we had to follow. It felt like a weird invasion of privacy.

Family Fun!

Our group of 6 adults and 4 children (age range of 4 months-6 years) had a wonderful time in this home! Each family with children had their own floor as it worked out! The kids loved the heated pool and spa. We were a short walk from the beach which was nearly empty. The home had beach chairs, toys, towels and a cart to make it easy to get it all to the beach. The home's decor is very attractive. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped and made preparing meals very easy. We really enjoyed the rooftop watching the sunsets. We kept planning to use the firepit but never got to it. The owner was very easy to contact and was responsive to the issues we had. We had several delicious meals at nearby restaurants. We love the area and are happy to see the recovery occurring after the devastating hurricane last year! We would definitely consider renting this home again.

Beyond Expectations!!

I could go on and on about how wonderful this vacation home is! This home is absolutely amazing in every way. We had 3 families, and more than ample space for everyone. The rooftop is amazing. We enjoyed after dinner conversation on the rooftop while the kids enjoyed the hot tub. Rodney answered all of my questions in a timely manner and offered great suggestions on local restaurants. We had an amazing time. The property was clean and well stocked. Everyone enjoyed many hours at the pool as well. We basically had the beach all to us. That may change once the surrounding homes are repaired from the last hurricane. We would definitely return to this vacation home. 5 star in every way!!

Wonderful Family House

Island Time is a wonderful family house. We had family ranging from age 11 to 82 on the trip and we all had our own space to spread out! We spent many hours in the pool during the day and in the hot tub in the evenings. We would recommend this house and hopefully we can come back again next year!

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!
