About this house rental
VRC21-000048
3BR · 2BA · Sleeps 8 · 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 and king bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed, and the bunk room, 2 sets of bunk beds, 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.
*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due
You are vacationing in a residential area, please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.

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!

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.
