About this property

Swizzle On The Sound · Saltwater Pool · 30-Night Minimum

VRC21-000048

3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 6 · 30-Night Minimum · Heated Saltwater Pool ($15/Day) · Six Outdoor Zones · Cedar Pavilion · Fire Pit · Travertine Deck · 2025 Renovation · Pet-Friendly on Inquiry · 3 Parking Spaces · Streaming TV

Important before booking: Swizzle On The Sound requires a minimum stay of 30 nights. This is a long-stay property — designed for snowbirds, remote workers, and families who want to settle into Holmes Beach for a month or more. If a shorter stay is what you need, IVP has weekly rental properties that may be a better fit.

Also before booking: the saltwater pool is heated on request at $15 per day — arrange in advance for the pool to be at a consistent 85°.

The 2025 renovation left no surface untouched. Whitewashed shiplap ceilings, designer coastal furnishings, open-concept flow. The kitchen has an oversized island with seating, custom tile backsplash, top-tier appliances, and quality cookware stocked and ready. Three bedrooms designed for real comfort — the primary suite has a spa-inspired bathroom with direct pool access, the second bedroom has a queen bed, and the bunk room has beach-themed décor and surfboard accents that consistently earn their own mention in guest reviews. Both bathrooms received full designer treatment.

The outdoor space is where this property earns its reviews. Six distinct zones:
The cedar-ceiling pavilion has a mounted TV, comfortable seating, and island airflow — the morning coffee spot, afternoon reading room, and evening cocktail lounge depending on the hour. The fire pit lounge has custom seating for s'mores and stargazing. The pool deck dining area has a farmhouse table for al fresco meals. Multiple conversation areas — wicker sets, lounge chairs, intimate two-tops — give a group of six room to spread out. The outdoor kitchen zone has a premium gas grill, prep area, and outdoor shower. The fenced backyard has mature palms and tropical plantings that create complete privacy.

The heated saltwater pool sits at the center of it all. Three separate guest reviews have called it out unprompted — one guest described it as "the pool we never wanted to get out of" after multiple AMI stays, calling this their best holiday yet.

Beach access is about ten houses away. The free island trolley stops nearby for exploring without a car.

Pet-friendly on a case-by-case basis — contact IVP before booking with a pet. Three parking spaces. Streaming TV throughout — no cable.

Swizzle On The Sound requires a 30-night minimum stay.

The house was perfect! It was clean, well equipped, and updated. The pool was wonderful and the back porch was a very nice place to relax in the evening. The street and neighborhood is very quiet. I would return to this property again and again!

Especially enjoyed the outdoor living spaces.Just a suggestion, not a criticism - the living room could use a couple of lamps to supplement the overhead lighting.

AmI heaven!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From initial booking to check out everything was perfect. The property was exactly as advertised and if anything better. Superb location 100yrds from beach access, also a dock in front where we saw manatee most days. The property has every appliance you could want and a pool we never wanted to get out of. Comfortable beds plenty space to relax inside and out. In perfect condition and spotlessly clean. We stay in AMI most years and this was the best holiday so far and hope to return to Swizzel again.

Nice quaint cottage in a great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pool is wonderful. Location is super convenient with beach and amenities very close by and there is easy access to the Island's two bridges which is a big plus during busy times. Cottage is very comfortable and well stocked. Access door to pool area is through one of the bathrooms which can be inconvenient at times. Outdoor area at back is quite nice, however, the sun shades are getting hard to slide open/close because of rust and, with no screened-in area, flies are an issue at night. Overall though, we liked the place very much and will be returning next year.
