Cancellations will incur 3% credit card fee

While the home sleeps 12, we have a maximum of 10 guests at any time to keep our the Swizzle Inn in great condition. An accurate head count is required upon booking and may result in additional charges or a cancellation of the booking without refund. All guests over the age of 5 will require a wristband for entry of Watercolor amenities and a maximum of 10 wristbands will be issued per stay.

We do not offer our golf cart for use due to insurance, however the cost of the house has been lowered to allow for golf cart rental AND Watercolor offers courtesy shuttles to the beach club or any other Watercolor amenities available all day. This is a very underutilized resource and their availability is typically right away. It's also a great perk because golf cart parking has become very difficult- so you can avoid circling to find a spot. The courtesy cart is a 12-15 person golf cart shuttle meaning you can bring all of your beach gear as well!
Golf Cart / LSV rentals are permitted only from Electric Cart Company. This is a Watercolor HOA restriction. Please inquire with them early as there are only a limited amount of rentals allowed in Watercolor per week. All other LSV rentals are not permitted and will be ticketed.
The property fees which are charged are required by the Watercolor HOA for guests renting each home. These fees give you access to all Watercolor amenities including the pools and beach club.
If you bring a dog it MUST be listed in your booking with VRBO and you must pay the additional pet fee to allow for an additional pet cleaning between guests. Damage by guests and/or pets are subject to additional charges.

spring break in 30a

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.

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.

Memorial Day Memories

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!

Family gathering

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. 😊

Wonderful

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.

Fabulous Watercolor house

Had the best time...6-week family stay from mid December through January. House was exactly as described. Completely well stocked, clean, super comfortable linens and duvet covers as well as fluffy towels, fully stocked kitchen. Location was fantastic for us: mile from the beach, walking distance to Publix, just across street from main Watercolor neighborhood but easy and close to walk/bike to main areas including tennis, walking paths, and beach club pool. Amazing customer service from Jodi, instant responses and helped us with everything we needed!

About the host

Hosted by Jodi Reynolds

Host profile image
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!
