Swizzle Inn was just delightful! We loved the neighborhood, close proximity to the pool.
The house was beautiful, comfy and, at the same time, kid friendly! It was so great, traveling as a multi- generational family, to have everyone’s needs met. We had a great vacation and will probably return to this house next year.

Thank you Jan, for your response! Our new VRBO id # is 1423865. We would love to have you come stay again. Please contact us for a return renter and referral discount.
We had a wonderful time! The house is perfect for families with children. We would go back and stay again. The check-in and check-out process was also very easy.

Thank you so much- we are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Nice home in a great location. Unfortunately a lollipop got mixed in with the towels and stained some of them which resulted in a big cleaning fee.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept, 2023
We are so glad you liked the home. However in response to your review, the additional cleaning fee was due to the state you left the home which included broken glass left all over the floor from an item you broke, didn't report to us, or clean up, and primarily from the additional issues which were photographed and sent to you (along with the photos of the ruined towels, sheets, and king duvet). Besides the additional cleaning charge we were charged from the issue that isn't mentioned here, we spent over $400 on replacing items from your stay which is well under what you were charged. We hate to have to charge guests but this was unavoidable.
We had an amazing time with our 2 year old daughter! They had everything we needed for the beach…towels, chairs, and toys! The house was in great condition and had such a cute area for kids stocked with toys and books!! We love Watercolors and will definitely be back!!

Thank you Megan! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and are welcome back anytime
The house was as described/pictured online. We had a wonderful time — there was plenty of room for the 10 of us (6 adults & 4 children). We rented some bikes, and probably would rent them for everyone as their bikes are in pretty bad shape, but other than that — the house was wonderful and the owner I communicated with was great. 😊
Our seaside vacation was everything we’d hoped for and so much more! Beautiful house, amenities spot-on, excellent location and the owner is super helpful and accommodating! House is PERFECT for parents of multiple toddlers/kids. The play area, bunk room and twin room allowed for plenty of sleep & play space for 5 kids with lots of room for the 4 adults to kick back and enjoy. Loved having access to Watercolor beach/clubhouse and rode bikes all around seaside. We will definitely be back!!
The Swizzle Inn is a beautifully decorated home that makes you feel relaxed and at home immediately. The setting is perfect and the addition of the ‘backyard’ green space was a real bonus. The location was perfect to enjoy the entire area and the amenities of Watercolor. Camp Watercolor was a huge hit with everyone. The golf cart from, The Electric Cart Company, made getting to Seagrove, Seaside, The Big Chill and of course the beach simple and enjoyable. We had a couple of questions that were responded to immediately by one of the owners(thank you Jodi) and by one of the property managers(thank you Joe). We could not have chosen a better home for our Memorial Day Getaway in Watercolor!
We have visited 30a several times, but had never stayed in watercolor before. Let me tell you, we are hooked! This home spoiled us for sure. We had plenty of space for our family of 7 to spread out. Our youngest loved the bunk room and all the toys and books! Those were a very wonderful surprise for us all! We loved how close the pool was to the dragonfly pool and enjoyed it most afternoons. The beds were all comfortable, ac was fabulous, kitchen was great, showers felt like a wonderful retreat. Our 18 year old kept going on and on with how spa-like she felt in her very own bathroom and shower! We all felt spoiled! We loved the back screened in porch and spent every morning out there. When the storms rolled in we thoroughly enjoyed watching them from the porch. The bikes were such a fun addition! And the amount of toys and things for us to use in the garage was a huge surprise! The chairs were perfect for going to Grayton beach! The amenities of watercolor were perfect. We spent a good amount of time at the beach club and at camp watercolor. Highly recommend both of those too! We rented a golf cart and loved getting to seaside, the hub and beach bean via the cart! So much fun was had on our vacation. If you’re hesitating on booking, don’t. Just do it. The home will be perfect and your vacation will be incredible!
We really enjoyed our time at the Swizzle Inn. The home fit our extended family of 6 adults and 3 children well. The living spaces, kitchen, and screened in porch were well suited to a group. Access to the nearby pool and broader Watercolor amenities was a highlight. Publix is very close and convenient. We found it easiest to get around by bike. The kids enjoyed running around in the common area / green space which was nice as it was away from cars and bike traffic.We would definitely recommend the home and consider staying here again.Thank you!While these did not deter us from enjoying our trip, a few constructive notes for consideration:- the upper bunk in the bunk bed room is VERY high. We luckily didn't need that bed and had our 7 year old sleep in the bottom bunk, but I would be apprehensive for any young children to sleep up there and safely navigate getting on/off every night.It was very nice to have access to 6 adult bikes as part of the rental. The bikes are well loved but functional however the handle grips need replacing. They are left outside (which is convenient) but in the climate have become sticky and leave a residue on your hands with each use. We had to take to carry around baby wipes to use after each ride. Many other rental homes appeared to have bikes with handlebars of different material that perhaps avoids this issue.
The Swizzle Inn looked the same in person as in pictures. I found the house very comfortable. Stocked with tons of beach toys, umbrellas and chairs. Plenty of books and games to play as well. We loved sitting on the downstairs screened porch to play games read or just chat. You are definitely within a 5-6 min walk from Publix, Pizza by the Sea, an ice cream shop and a restaurant. A bit of a longer walk, maybe 20-25 to seaside restaurant & shops. Watercolor Inn area is around 35min walk. I would consider renting a golf cart ahead of time if you don’t want to drive your car or walk. However we did utilize the concierge service the first day. Which was helpful but they only run until 6pm and something happened that day and we could never reach them to pick us up and it was around 4. It was a long walk home with beach gear. I’m sure it was a fluke but We chose to drive the other days to visit diff beaches. We visited Grayton Beach,Topsail and another public beach just a few min from the house with no issues with parking since we left by 9:30. My kid loved the lazy River and slides at camp watercolor and the Dragonfly pool since it was so close to the house.. No concerns or issues except you might consider renting kids bikes and possibly adult ones. The ones available aren’t in the best shape and are in need of repair. We didn’t end up using them. It was a lovely stay and I would consider staying again. Jodi was easy and quick to communicate with. Great experience.
Lovely, spacious, and well maintained. Location is very convenient. We especially enjoyed having so many extra things for the children. Perfect for a family gathering.
We have been renting homes in ther 30A area of Florida for the past 10 years with our whole family. We enjoyed the Swizzel Inn Home as it was the best manintained home we have ever rented. The property manager was easy to communicate with as well as the peoperty owners. We enjoy the Watercolor location as it allows us to utilize the Watercolor Beach Club, the Watercolor Club Pool and other amenities.Their was a neigborhood pool 5 houses away from the home we renetd and it was very quiet.The check in and out was great.Highly Recommended!
House was beautiful and the location was perfect! Just a short bike ride to everything. Relaxing on the screen porch while the kids were out exploring was our favorite part. Our family had the best spring break! Close to everything and enough bikes for the whole group.
What an awesome week! Had family for Alabama and NYC come in for Thanksgiving. Can't say enough great things about the beautiful house, the setup, the amenities and the gracious owners. We had people from 65 to 1 year and it was perfect. Thanks so much for a wonderful week with family.
Penny and Stan Lewallyn
We had a great stay at Swizzle Inn! Very clean, comfortable accommodations. Short bike ride to the beach and Seaside! Loved being so close to Camp Watercolor and Publix! Thanks!
Perfect :location, I have a friend who has a vacation house on Pine Needle Way. Her home is in perfect location. This home is across the highway, but close to Publix, Camp Watercolor, and close to beach, but road still connects to 30A, even though the traffic is crazy. Would definately book again

About the host
Hosted by Jodi Reynolds
I am a Mom of twin toddler boys. We own the house with our very good friends that live in Bermuda. Although we manage the home together, I take care of many of the day to day inquiries because I am domestic. We try to spend as much time as we can at the Swizzle Inn which helps renters with kids because it is stocked with toys, games and books. Previously we had worked with rental companies but realized very quickly that they value and service they provide was lacking, especially when faced with the high "fees". We will provide you the same level of service with a 24/7 manager, hands on owners, at a reasonable price.
Why they chose this property
We chose this house for a few reasons- We wanted a 5 bedroom house to allow for at least 2 families to be able to stay... and there's even room for a nanny/babysitter/grandparents! Most houses in Watercolor open up to a road. Our home opens up to a long green space that leads to the Dragonfly pool allowing us the ability to sit on the porch and watch the kids play on the grass freely and safely with no cars passing by.
What makes this property unique
The Swizzle Inn is located 5 houses away from the Dragonfly Pool. This makes it very convenient to pop down to the pool for a quick swim, after nap time, or even to enjoy an evening cooking out at the outdoor kitchen there. The Dragonfly Pool is the quietest of the Watercolor Pools, has a great smaller pool for the littles, and we have not ever gone when there weren't chairs available (it's the little things...) It's located in the Crossings District. The Crossings District is the newest Phase of Watercolor, so the houses are also newer. The neighborhood is only 50% rentals and has the most full-time residents out of all of the phases. This makes for less traffic, more full time kids, and less renters. It's also VERY convenient to Publix. We felt that unless you are within a block or 2 of the beach club, you'll be riding a bike to the beach club regardless. Why not be in the newer and quieter district!
