Nice summer rental, saving energy and time without end (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eternal

'without end' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for eternal that I've seen before include "Continuing forever or indefinitely" , "Timeless" , "Not stopping" , "like Rome?" , "carrying on endlessly" .)
