KingBed-Patio-BBQ-WD-FastWiFi-Walk2Bay-20min2Beach

When you arrive at Casa Calypso in this historic neighborhood, you will immediately relax in the chill vibe of this airy, light filled space. Kick off your shoes, grab a cold one and go for a swing in the hammock. Plan your trip to the beach, under a 30 min drive away - play, swim in the surf, sunbathe.
Or go for a stroll along the bay; just a 20 minute walk to water views. Enjoy a seafood dinner downtown; a 10 min drive away.
Return to your private sanctuary and relax, rinse (off) & repeat!

**PLEASE NOTE** I do live on the property; in the little "casita" in the back yard. I can be available for any questions; otherwise my priority is to give my guests as much privacy as I can, while still living on the property. So if you need complete privacy, my home may not be a good fit for you!

Two big bedrooms, two large living areas, intimate dining room, open kitchen design, roomy bathroom.

Washer & dryer in house.

Spectacular patio & pergola make outdoor living a pleasure. A lush & cozy backyard makes it your private sanctuary.

Carport for your small car and plenty of driveway space.

Quiet, friendly neighborhood centrally located; walking distance to the bay, major grocery store, two hospitals (Dr's Regional & Driscoll Children's), restaurants, dollar store, gym.

Under a 30 minute drive from house to beach. 10 minute walk to bay front, 5 more to kid-magnet Cole Park. 10 minutes to Downtown, 15 minutes to attractions Concrete Street Ampitheatre, Whataburger Field, American Bank Center, Hurricane Alley water park, The Lexington, Texas State Aquarium. 10 minutes to La Palmera Mall and many restaurants. 30 minutes to N. Padre Island, 40 minutes to Port Aransas. Bus stop is one block away.

I have filled my home with original art, functional antiques, lovely rugs - and NO clutter! Most people when entering my home comment on the "good energy" You will LOVE calling this place home for your stay here in Corpus Christi. As we say here; "Mi casa es su casa!" (my house is your house).

Cute house

The house was very comfortable and cute and Brenda was friendly and accommodating. The house is an older home and needs some serious updating. The patio is cute. The neighborhood looks shabby, but is conveniently located. We ran out of hot water too quickly, but everything else was adequate.

Perfect family vacation

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful home. The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. We slept great!!! Kitchen was well equipped to make family meals and even to bake cookies. Was perfect to be able to work remotely while there as well. We would definitely plan to stay again on the future. Thank you for opening your home to us.

We were in for a big dog show downtown so this location was convenient. Our host was gracious. She does live behind the house in a casita but met us and then left us to our visit. The house and yard are beautiful, very well decorated.

Weekend Bridal Shower

Had a great stay at the house. It was comfortable and the description of the property was accurate. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We travel with our dog, and she provided dog bowls, dog treats, and a dog bed. This was so thoughtful. Additionally, the house is located very close to the bay front in a beautiful part of Corpus Christi. We had a great weekend.

Fun place to stay while in Corpus! House is interestingly decorated- a lively blend of mid-century, art and antique. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. A cute patio and yard is fenced and nice. Neighborhood is centrally located and quiet. Host very accommodating.

So wonderful!!

It was a stroke of luck to find a rental a few doors down from the family we were visiting, but it was a complete serendipity that it wound up being so wonderful. The house is simply to die for. My kids wanted to move there permanently, Brenda was a dream, and I was more relaxed than I have ever been at a rental. Do not hesitate. This is the house you want to stay at. We will definitely be back!!!

Overall the location was great and the host was helpful but the decor was very strange with lots of nude images and the main bedroom smells very musty. Otherwise we definitely enjoyed our stay and being so close to the coast.

Artist cottage

Very nice 2 bedroom 1 bath home with a welcoming feel. The beds are queen and king size so plenty of space for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans for cooking meals. Back patio is relaxing. Bottled water with dispenser is provided. The neighborhood felt safe and you are within close proximity to a grocery store, hospital, the ocean. Owner stays in a casita on the property which is nice should you need anything. If not, she is rarely seen. Overall, my 80 year old mother and I had a very nice stay in a home that provided space to meet all our needs. Highly recommend the property over a hotel.

Well-kept property both inside and out. Beautifully decorated, homey, cozy and private. All the comforts of home away from home. The owner was easy to talk to and gave my sister and I wonderful tips as to the best shopping and nearby restaurants with yummy food and restful atmospheres. We highly recommend Casa Calypso!
