About the host: We live just south of Nashville, in Brentwood, TN. We have vacationed in the Florida Panhandle for over 30 years. Prior to buying this condominium we vacationed in Destin for years! We love the area, but the crowds, traffic and long waits at the Restaurants were ruining our 'fun.' We tried the Seaside/Watercolor area for a few years and also loved those places, but had to stay across the street from the beach and couldn't even SEE the beach unless we drove or biked to the 'beach clubs.'
Why this property? When the new airport opened in Panama City Beach, we decided to look into this area. We fell in love with the beautiful beaches and the EASY vacation lifestyle. Once we stayed at Calypso and took the easy stroll, across the street to Pier Park - with all the restaurants, shopping, theaters, live music venues, we were SOLD! This is the easiest, most stress-free vacation spot - ever!
We especially like being in a corner unit of the WEST Tower of Calypso. We have THE MOST beautiful views of the Gulf out the back and sides of our unit. There are no high rises next to us - just wide open beaches. You have to see it to believe it. We take pride in keeping our unit up to date, renovated and in top condition. We do not rent to Spring Breakers and have a great relationship with our rental families. Come stay with us at 'Knee Deep in the Water!' You and your family will have one of the best vacations of your life!

Thank you so much, Michael! It was great to host you guys - really appreciate your nice comments on arrival and check out as well! You all make renting out our home away from home a pleasure!
A great condo in a great location
Our family of six enjoyed our visit to Calypso 1109W. The location was perfect for us that it was walkable to both the fishing pier and Pier Park. The condo was equipped as advertised and the owner was very accessible for questions we had during our stay. Being an end unit provided lots of views from the living room and the two main bedrooms. I would stay there again, and I recommend this unit for others looking for a three-bedroom unit. The only thing we missed was not having HOA provided umbrellas at the pools. But having four loungers and two umbrella provided on the beach was a big plus.

Thanks, Don! I hate that an issue arose with the faucet during your stay but I'm so glad our maintenance guys were able to take care of it swiftly. We'd love to have y'all back again sometime!
Snow birding for the first time.
This was our first time being gone during the winter for 2 months. The location of this condo is wonderful. It is close to the stores that we need to shop at for supplies as well as some wonderful restaurants. Also close to what became some of our favorite watering holes. We can not say enough about Rachel Brannon and how she helped us through this. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rachel, she was an extreme pleasure to work with. The view from this condo is wonderful and entertaining. The only item that we know is hard for Rachel to control was the cleaning service. We were a little disappointed with that. But not to the point that it was a problem. We spoke to others in different units and they had some of the same concerns. So, it depends are what independent cleaning service your owner has and apparently they are hard to find. We will definitely be back!!! We love our experience with Rachel and the Calypso!!!

One month of extremely comfortable condo stay for snow birds from Canada
We are two retired couples. We found this condo place through internet search. Everything in the unit is exactly as described here. No surprises. The condo is spacious, airy, bright & clean; the utensils are extensive & the beach equipment including towels extensive (we did not use this as January was not suitable for this). The view from the balcony was spectacular. The building is well maintained and we found the occupants of nearby rooms very friendly. The gym was adequate. Overall our experience was very satisfying and if an occassion arises, we would rent this again. Last but not least, we found that Rachel, the owner, dealt with us very professionally throughout. We also received our refund promptly.

Thank you so much, Raja! It was wonderful having you all stay with us this year.
SPECTACULAR VIEWS FROM THIS CONDO!!
This condo was perfect for our family! Plenty of room and lots of extras! Rachel was very fast to respond and very accommodating. The view is phenomenal, the location is so great that we hardly moved our cars. Everything is so close. There is even a third tower being built across the street and we barely even noticed. Lots of extra beach towels and toys for our use. We hope to come back to this same unit next year.
