The Sandcastle at Calypso - A luxury, low floor gem with 2 king beds!

Just Steps from the pool, beach and Pier Park! VIP Beach Chairs provided and private Owners Parking included! For information on our two sister units - The Shoreline at Calypso (3 King Bed / 3 Full Bath) and - The Sunset at Calypso (3 King Bed / 3 Full Bath) please email the host.

The Sandcastle at Calypso is a luxury unit featuring 2 King Suites in the largest 2 bedroom footprint in Calypso. Instead of a separate bunk room, this floor plan puts the extra square footage in the living room and kitchen, thus providing the most spacious floor plan in the Calypso complex. Totally Renovated and professionally decorated in February of 2021, this unit is sure to please and includes two rocker recliners and Polywood patio furniture! The second floor unit adds the palm trees to your relaxed beach view.

This premium unit sleeps a maximum of 6 with two king beds and a queen sized sleeper sofa. Each bedroom features a king sized bed and each has a dedicated full bath. One bedroom has direct balcony access to gulf front while the other is located on the opposite end of the unit with a view of Pier Park. This second floor unit is located right next to the stairwell in the center of the complex, which puts you two floors above your private owners parking spot, one floor above the beach / pool and one floor below the walkway to the public garage. While there is a cluster of 24 hour elevators just down the hall, this unit has access to an elevator in the center of the building that only services the first 4 floors and is available during business hours.


CHECK-IN PROCESS

You will be able to park one vehicle beach-side, directly below your unit in the Calypso Owner's Garage. Entry to the garage is by private key code. You will then take the elevator to the second floor to our luxury unit. If you have a second vehicle, it will be parked across the street in the Calypso North garage. Entry to garage is by pre-printed pass with barcode. The crossover from the garage to the resort is on the third floor. You will proceed directly to our unit, by-passing all the lines for the elevators and condo offices. You will then enter a private key code to unlock the door and enter. You DO NOT have to go to a lobby to "check in" or to a different location to "get your keys".

Calypso Resort charges a $50 registration fee per party which includes access to all resort amenities and one parking spot in the Calypso North Garage across the street. You do not have to pay any additional fee for use of our private parking space in the Calypso Owners Garage (beach side). If your party has more than two vehicles, a third parking space can be purchased from Calypso for an additional $50. The fee covers the entire duration of your stay.

Such a beautiful spacious condo! Looked just like the pictures shown on the website. Location was perfect especially with your own personal parking below only a short distance from the condo itself. Will definitely be looking to rent it again next year. Thank you!

Beautiful Unit in a Great Location
A very nice unit and condo. Our kids appreciated the second King bed, since both are taller than us. With the unit being on the 2nd floor it's very easy to get out to the pool or the beach. It's right next to the elevator or the stairs, and there's a also a nice staircase on that floor where the business office is that takes you down a level to the pool and walkway to the beach. There's a trade-off being that low, with the balcony view somewhat obscured by palm trees and you're right above the pool. The included umbrella/chair service also makes it much easier to just go out to the beach and sit. No need to set up an umbrella or shelter. You can take the elevator or regular stairs down to the owner's garage. It's nice having a private garage knowing you always have a spot, and not much traffic coming through. Be aware that the space is tight, with two small spots bordered by concrete walls. We have a minivan and a huge SUV was next to us the 1st day, so my wife had to get out before I pulled in. A few days there was no other car, and a smaller sedan the last few. There's an elevator that only goes to the third floor. That limits wait time, although we only used it when we moved in and when we checked out. The stairs were easy. There's no official check in or check out process. Just text Penny to let her know when you arrive and when you leave. Very convenient compared to other places we've stayed. There could be more spoons (only a few teaspoons). We got by, though.

This condo was perfect for my family. My husband and I traveled with our grown son and his girlfriend. The accommodations were perfect. Plenty of space. Beautifully decorated. The owners parking was a game changer. No more fighting for a good parking spot. Location is convenient to Pier Park. Penny was just a phone call away. Answered all my questions and was a true joy to work with. We can’t wait to stay with Penny in the future!

Family Trip
We were a family of my husband and myself, along with our son and daughter in law and 1 yr old grand daughter. The main reason I chose this condo was one level and easy access to beach... Although I really missed having a view, having access to the stairs right beside the unit and not having to wait for elevator made up for it. Being able to walk to Pier Park was nice. Owner was SO nice and easy to work with, even made great restaurant recommendations

Calypso 201 - tower II
We really loved our stay in this beautiful condo! The plus was being on the 2nd floor near the stairs and only having to go up or down 1 level to access the pool area and stairs to the beach. Also the owner has a parking space in the garage below the condo which avoided having to cross the bridge over the street to the over flow parking deck every time we went out. The condo kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The balcony was great for enjoying breakfast in the mornings. The only downside is the view is not as good on a lower floor with a some palm trees in front. Other family members stayed in another condo on a higher floor at the same time and the living/dining area was much smaller than this condo.

From the moment we booked the management was super responsive. The checkin was simple, place was clean, and very comfortable. Location is great to walk to pier park and even a short distance to a walmart. The ease of parking in the owners reserved spot was a great benefit!! The bed was comfortable, shower was perfect, and the added in house amenities made for a great stay where we could make our own food. The beach chairs were such a great add on!! Low stress and just allows you to really enjoy your vacation. We will definitely return to this condo in our future stays.

BEST VRBO HOST!!
The property is absolutely beautiful, clean and has a great view. Penny was the BEST! We had an early flight coming in and she let us leave our luggage in her room until the room was ready for us. She kept us up to date on what was going on in the area and gave us good restaurant tips. We will rent from her from now on!!
