Your Private Tropical Resort - Where the Pool IS the Destination
VRC21-000048
Some vacations are about running from place to place. Swizzle On The Sound offers something better - a reason to stay right where you are. Heated saltwater pool surrounded by palms. Resort-style entertainment zones from covered pavilion to fire pit lounge. Completely renovated interior where every detail whispers coastal luxury. This is the stay-and-savor vacation you didn't know you needed.
The Space
Renovated to Perfection
The 2024 renovation left no surface untouched. Whitewashed shiplap ceilings, designer coastal furnishings, open-concept flow - this feels like a magazine spread, not a rental.
The gourmet kitchen delivers: oversized island with seating, custom tile backsplash, top-tier appliances, and here's what guests love - it's actually STOCKED. Quality cookware, all the tools, zero frustration.
Three bedrooms designed for real comfort: Primary suite with spa-inspired bathroom and pool access. Queen bedroom with coastal elegance. Bunk room styled with beach themes and surfboard accents that kids adore. Both bathrooms received full designer treatment - showroom quality, not rental grade.
The Outdoor Experience - Where Magic Happens
This is where Swizzle earns every five-star review.
The Pool That Steals the Show:
"Pool is to die for" - Kara
"Pool we never wanted to get out of" - Steve H.
"Pool was warm, kids swam everyday" - KH
When three separate reviews call out your pool unprompted, it's special. This heated saltwater oasis is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping creating natural privacy. Mature palms sway overhead. The travertine deck offers sun-drenched lounging while the covered lanai provides shaded retreat.
Pool heating available $15/day - request in advance for perfect 85° comfort.
Six Entertainment Zones:
Cedar-Ceiling Pavilion: Outdoor living room with mounted TV, comfortable seating, breezy island airflow. Morning coffee, afternoon books, evening cocktails.
Fire Pit Lounge: Custom fire pit with conversation seating. S'mores, storytelling, stargazing.
Pool Deck Dining: Farmhouse table with bistro seating for al fresco meals.
Multiple Conversation Areas: Wicker sets, lounge chairs, intimate two-tops. Everyone finds their spot.
Outdoor Kitchen Zone: Premium gas grill, prep area, outdoor shower.
Tropical Landscaping: Fenced backyard with palms and flowering plants creates genuine privacy. Your own resort, complete seclusion.
Location
Southern Holmes Beach - Residential Peace
Quiet neighborhood where vacation life moves at exactly the right pace. Not a party street - families bike past, neighbors wave, genuine relaxation without constant noise.
Beach Access: About a 10-house walk to Gulf beaches. Here's why this works: with a pool this amazing and outdoor spaces this well-designed, guests actually spend MORE time at the property. Reviews say "no need to go anywhere" and "never wanted to leave." Beach is there when you want it, but the pool becomes your destination.
Island Access: Free trolley nearby. Bike to restaurants and attractions. Close to everything without tourist hustle.

"So relaxing the decor and the amenities, no need to go anywhere! Pool was warm kids swam everyday and the trolley pickup was right around the corner." - KH
"The property has every appliance you could want and a pool we never wanted to get out of. In perfect condition and spotlessly clean. We stay in AMI most years and this was the best holiday so far." - Steve H.
