About this property

The Sandcastle at Calypso - A luxury low floor gem

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.

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!!

Excellent in many many ways !!

First off, the location close to Pier Park, the beach, pool and Tiki Bar couldn't be beat!! Being able to easily walk up a flight of steps to the door was SO much easier than waiting on elevators.... not to mention the palm trees right off the balcony. The two beach chairs and umbrella are a great deal to have that included and an owners parking spot almost directly below you two levels down make going in and out a breeze! Loved the acoustic guitar they had during season, not to loud and just enough to set a great vibe. We even liked Dog Beach... a short walk past the pier to see the muts playing each day. Would totally recomment this condo! Brian

Better than pictured

Great space with ideal location. The space is perfect for a family; walking distance to so much and the beach & pool are right out the door. Even with the prime location, there wasn’t too much noise - with it being Spring Break that was a relief! We recommend and hope to be back!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Penny Lancaster

Host profile image
"The Sandcastle at Calypso" is owned by Timeout PCB, LLC and was purchased and totally remodeled in February of 2021. Timeout PCB also owns two other trophy condos at Calypso: "The Sunset at Calypso" (8th floor corner) and "The Shoreline at Calypso" (3rd floor corner). Both of these units feature a floor plan of three king bed suites on the western corner of the resort. If the Sandcastle (two king suites) is not large enough for you, check out one of these other two units.

Timeout PCB is a family owned and operated entity. We manage our properties personally and we do not manage properties for others. My name is Penny Lancaster and I'm a retired school teacher and real estate broker. My husband is a community banker. We vacation in our own units and take pride in their quality and appearance. We want you to have a great experience in one of our condos!

Why they chose this property

Why Calypso? That's easy. If you've done any research on PCB, you know that Calypso is the closest resort to Pier Park and the famous Russell Fields City Pier (only 300 steps on the sidewalk). They are across the street from each other and are a quick 4 minute walk from Calypso. Leave your car in the garage and avoid the traffic. Pier Park is the heartbeat of PCB and houses the area's best restaurants and shopping - there is even a huge 16 screen movie theater. Many Calypso guests never use the car once they arrive. Time is precious - don't spend it in traffic! Hit the beach - fish the Pier - or play at Pier Park!

What makes this property unique

"The Sandcastle at Calypso" (Unit 201W) is very unique in that it's location is right next to the stairs and the private elevator in the center of building. It's also a second floor unit which puts the beautiful Palm Trees within reach of your balcony. Your private Owners parking spot is located just two floors below your unit. Lastly, though it is the largest floor plan of the two bedroom units, this unit is only designed to sleep six. It is not cluttered with bunk rooms and/or built in bunks - just a wide open floor plan to spread out.
