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, the unit features new paint, crown mold, light fixtures, curtains, furniture and HVAC. It also includes a new 58" Smart TV in the living room which is equipped with a queen sleeper sofa, two rocker swivel recliners and one additional cushioned swivel chair. The finishing touch was the installation of new 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.

About the owner: "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!

Oct 2021

The condo was more than we expected.

Location was wonderful and property was exceptionally clean.

Wonderful trip and stay


Sep 2021

Property was very clean, comfortably decorated, very convenient to the beach access. Location to walk to restaurants and shops is also fantastic. Really enjoyed this property and host!!


Aug 2021

I would give this unit and Penny 100 stars if I could. We have stayed at Calypso a few other times in the past but this was by far the nicest unit and the convenience of its location in Calypso is amazing. It’s right by the stairs so you don’t ever have to wait on an elevator (but it’s not noisy at all like you would think being close to a common area). The palm trees make it feel nice and beachy and are an added bonus to the view. We also really loved the convenience of the private parking and not having to wait in long lines for the main elevator with all of our luggage. The unit is super new looking and very clean. Penny is so helpful and quick to respond. I absolutely recommend this unit to anyone and everyone! Thank you for the awesome unit Penny!


Aug 2021

The condo was as described and as pictured online. Live music was played every night by the Tiki Bar and we only had to go onto our corner-2nd floor balcony to listen---very nice! The owner was very attentive and interested that we had a wonderful vacation. She remained in contact with us and responses to our questions was quick. She gave us information for places to shop, eat and play. Overall experience A+++ ---- Thank you, Penny.


Aug 2021

What a fantastic week in Panama City. I took my 3 young adult children and 2 of their friends for a fun filled vacation at the beach. This was the first beach vacation we had all been able to schedule together in over 5 years. We were not disappointed. From the very beginning, Penny was very accommodating with me. She answered all my questions immediately and helped me acquire her condo every step of the way.

The condo was amazing. It had been renovated very recently and it showed. Very clean, beautifully designed with every detail attended to. Gorgeous furniture, beautiful floors, updated appliances, comfortable beds and awesome new balcony furniture. Everything was perfect. We had other friends stay in other condos in the Calypso and all agreed I had the best condo in the group!!

Thanks so much Penny for a great stay!! We will be back!!


Jul 2021

The condo was perfect! We have stayed at the calypso before and this condo was by far our favorite! The place was very clean, the location was great, the beds were comfortable and Penny was great! I definitely recommend this condo.


Jul 2021

We had a great experience! The view was great, the room was decorated beautifully, the owner was very personable and answered all questions quickly! We have always stayed at Calypso but this condo has its own parking in the building which is completely a game changer! Not having to fight the parking garage was probably the best part! I can't say enough good about the owner; honestly feel she cared about us and our stay! I have said next year we are trying somewhere besides PCB but this condo makes me want to come back!


Jul 2021

The condo was perfect for our family. The master suite was amazing with huge bathroom. The walk in closet was an added bonus as it allowed us a quiet dark space for our infant to nap during the day. The whole family slept great at night. The beds are extremely comfortable. Both Kung beds had a firm mattress, which was perfect. The location was ideal for quick access to the beach every day. The included beach chair reservation was also a huge plus. We reserved our chairs on Sunday and had them The while week. A very easy process. Penny was great amd always answered her phone when I called and responded to texts immediately. The owners garage is also a great addition that she included for us, it made packing and unpacking the vehicle a breeze compared to having to walk across the bridge to the other garage or waiting for a spot at the front to open up at the lobby entrance. The feel of the unit was just right and the patio furniture made listening to live music from the tiki hut enjoyable at night. We would definitely stay again.


Jun 2021

Absolutely perfect! ZERO complaints everything was wonderful. No waiting on elevators take the stairs and you’re at the pool in less than two minutes. This is by far the nicest condo we’ve ever had and Penny was super helpful throughout the whole process and her response time to messages and calls was as fast as you could ask for. We can’t wait to be back for many years to come! Thanks again Penny for all of your help!


Jun 2021

Everything was perfect. Pennys communication was very responsive and thorough. The condo location was perfect. Second floor easy access to the stairs for the garage and beach are a must have! We have stayed at this complex 3 times and Highly recommend this rental unit!


Jun 2021

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!


Jun 2021

This condo was exactly as advertised! Clean, spacious, and inviting. We had everything we needed. Being able to park in the owner's garage was super convenient. The stairwell happens to be right next door to the unit,, and was very convenient for hopping down one level to the pool/beach if you didn't want to wait on the elevator. We were able to take a quick 5 minute walk to Pier Park, and the Pier nightly to see the sunset. Penny was a great host and very communicative. We have found our new place to stay in PCB!!


May 2021

The Unit was beautiful and a great location in the property. If you know the Calypso you know that the elevators can be challenging. We were located right outside of the stairwell one floor from the beach, which was great. Unit was very clean and well maintained. Would stay there again!

We were a bit disappointed with the fact that the building property removed the volleyball net. This obviously has nothing to do with the unit itself.


May 2021

We absolutely loved staying at the Calypso unit 201W! Penny was amazing to work with from the beginning to end. The condo was immaculate and decorated beautifully. The entire stay was wonderful and having everything close by was the icing on the cake! Couldn't have asked for better getaway! Thank you Penny!


May 2021

Condo was beautifully decorated and the location was excellent.


May 2021

Great stay. Will use again.


Apr 2021

Unit was exactly as pictured, updated and beautifully furnished in a beach theme. Owner was easy to work with and quick to reply. Location was in walking distance to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Would definitely come back again!


Apr 2021

Everything was fantastic. Communication was great, parking was convenient, Pier Park was close. The best condo ever. We will be back.


Apr 2021

Beautiful and the owner is really great. We will return again


Apr 2021

This condo is newly renovated and gorgeous inside!!!! It’s located on the second level which makes it extremely convenient to the pool/beach/tiki hut. It’s nice to be able to use the stairs and avoid the long elevator wait. I highly recommend booking this condo! It’s one of my favorites at the Calypso and the owner is super easy to work with. We will book here again!


Mar 2021

This was the perfect location for our family to stay at in PCB! Beautiful views of the Ocean just steps away and room for our family of 6!


Mar 2021

We had a great stay during spring break! This unit is beautifully decorated, clean, and in a great location - the closest you can get to Pier Park. There was construction underway while we were there so only one pool was open, but it wasn’t a big deal since the other pool was super close to the unit as well. The kids had a great time in the pool and playing on the beach. Penny, the host, was wonderful. She was super helpful and available for any questions we had. I would definitely recommend booking this unit!

Wonderful Vacation

This is our second time staying in the Sandcastle @ Calypso and we would NOT stay anywhere else in PCB. We love the unit, the location and most of all, the host. :)

Great winter vacation!

We stayed in Penny's condo January and February 2023. The condo is beautiful, modern and the kitchen was well equipped. The view from the balcony is amazing, loved the sunsets and bonus having fireworks during Mardi Gras! We loved that it was close to Pier Park and terrific restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay there again.

My new favorite place!

Can't say enough good things about this unit! We've stayed at Calypso many times over the past 10 years and this by far is the BEST. Penny is a great communicator and always there to help. Everything you need is in the unit and location is SUPERB! Go here ASAP!
