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 8th 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 $60 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 $60. The fee covers the entire duration of your stay.

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!

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.
