Island Time is one of the largest oceanside retreats for rent on the Eastern shore. A huge, professionally decorated, luxurious retreat with multiple family rooms that is located oceanside in the heart of Fenwick Island.
Built in 2009 by Delaware’s premier builder Zonko Builders, this enormous ocean-block retreat has 3 individual suites in one huge 6,300 square foot house.
Island Time is immaculately clean and very well maintained.
Each suite includes a gas fireplace, hardwood flooring, multiple porches & decks and the use of a brand new, private, 10 person, 900 gallon hot tub with 47 jets that is serviced weekly. Once you park your car, you can literally walk everywhere.
The top floor suite has 5 bedrooms, a huge great room with kitchen, a large screened in porch, sunroom, a rooftop deck with ocean views and sleeps 12 people. The two first floor suites each have three bedrooms, a great room and a kitchen, 2 full baths and sleep 8 people each. There is also a new pool table with ping pong top that is new for 2017. In addition, we have an elevator which can be used to transport luggage and groceries to the 1st and 2nd floor.
Island Time has bright, open rooms with cheerful fun beach decor and plenty of places to hang out. There is also an outdoor shower and ground level/outdoor restroom which makes it easy if you have to go to the bathroom while on the beach without having to enter the house.
Why Fenwick Island and this house?
We grew up going to the Eastern shore for family vacations and have always loved the beach. We are very accessible, easy to work with and will do everything we can to make sure your vacation is a special one. We will send you a large information package with many, many things to do in and around Fenwick Island as well as some of our favorite places to dine and must do activities.
We love this house because it is a well built, nicely maintained, clean house that is just a short stroll to a beautiful private beach. Once you park your car you can literally walk everywhere. It’s an ideal home for family reunions, multiple families traveling together and corporate retreats.
The Fenwick guarded beach is a two-minute walk from our house (without having to cross Coastal Highway). It is amazingly less crowded and quiet compared to the beaches in Ocean City, Bethany Beach and Rehoboth – typically Fenwick’s beach has 70% less people than those beaches. It will remind you of your own private beach.
For the chefs, Island Time features 3 fully equipped kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and gas cooktops. Most places on the Eastern shore have electric cooktops.
We also have a large electric griddle for making perfect pancakes for your group, a waffle iron for our guests to enjoy, a 6 quart crockpot and a brand new, large 6 burner gas grill outside.
Easy walking distance to Ropewalk Restaurant, Mancini’s Brick Oven Pizza and Nantucket’s to name a few. Also, our favorite Ocean City restaurant, Liquid Assets, is opening a new location in Fenwick Island this spring a few blocks from our place called Our Harvest!
Island Time is only 18 miles to the Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth Beach. The Tanger Outlets feature over 140 stores including Under Armour, Tommy Bahama, Lululemon, Nike & Banana Republic as well as tax-free Delaware shopping to make a great deal even better.
It’s a fun way to spend a day if the weather isn’t cooperating. There is also the Sun & Surf Cinema in Ocean City which features 8 theaters just a 1 mile drive (or walk) from our place.
A 10 minute ride takes you to the Freeman stage for top talent entertainment. A walk across the street takes you to the DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum which houses artifacts from sunken ships in the area. If you are lucky, they will bring out a 50 pound gold “necklace” found in a sunken Spanish ship.
Lastly, Jolly Roger Amusement park on 30th Street (7 miles from our place) in Ocean City has a huge water park with tons of water slides, wave pools and even a water roller coaster that kids will love.
Two companies in the Fenwick area, Delmarva Sport Adventures and Coastal Kayak, offer Eco kayak tours as well as lessons to surf the waves in a kayak.
You can take a fishing charter out at the Indian River marina for a half or full day. And a 5-minute ride takes you across the bay where you can rent a boat or jet skis.
There are numerous world-class golf courses within a 5-30 minute drive from our place. Some are Bayside, Baywood Greens, Bear Trap Dunes, Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe, War Admiral & Man O’War at GlenRiddle, Cripple Creek Golf, CC Dagsboro, Kings Creek, Old Landing Golf Course Rehoboth Beach and Rehoboth CC.
