  This gorgeous condo will welcome you and make you feel at home. The layout allows privacy as the Master bedroom and Queen bedroom are separated by the the 2 full baths. View from the balcony is exceptional and to wake up each day with the view is truly Paradise. Beautiful beach, inviting pool, Pier Park (across the street), Florida State Parks near by. Panama City airport is a convenient 25mins away! Dear Darlene and Joel, Thank you for the use of your condo. We had a wonderful time! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing vacation and I am already planning my next visit. It has been a pleasure talking with you Darlene and my only regret is that we did not get to meet on this trip. We would highly recommend this home for anyone looking for an exceptional vacation!

  Owner response: Thank you for the wonderful review Janice! I am so glad that you enjoyed the condo and your stay. As I told you on the phone,the view is to die for!! It was a pleasure talking to you over the phone and finding out we had teen daughters about the same age. I am so sorry we couldn't work out a time to meet when I was down there. I was there such a short time and was busy running around getting the spring cleaning and maintenance of my Splash condos done and your flight was so early in the morning. We can hopefully meet next year sometime if you decide to come back during the winter or early spring. Thanks, Darlene

  We spent 3 days at Darlene and Joel's condo in Nov. and loved every minute of it. The condo is beautifully decorated and exactly like you see in the photos above. Darlene was so nice to do business with when I had unexpected questions before the trip, she was very gracious taking my calls. I especially love being so close to Pier Park. Also, loved being on the second floor and when the rest of the family was in the pool, I could just sit on the patio and watch them. My daughter who lives in Panama City and her 3 children stayed with us and we all thoroughly enjoyed this condo. Many thanks to Darlene and Joel for a great week-end.

  This is a beautifully decorated spacious condo perfect for a vacation at PCB! The 2nd floor location was great with a convenient view of the pool and beach. We enjoyed NOT having to wait on the elevators!! Free beach service was an added bonus. Renting from Joel and Darlene was great. They are very sweet and soooo easy to work with. Even the cleaning service folks are amazing. We accidentally left something and it was quickly returned to us - which is unheard of!! Calypso is ~ a quarter mile walking distance from Pier Park if you want awesome shopping during your stay. The Front porch is a great place to eat and very kid friendly. Margaritaville was good - but not for the food! I will definitely be back when I return to the PCB area.

  We have enjoyed wintering in this beautiful spacious condo for 2 mos for the last 3 years. Joel and Darlene are wonderful people to work with and Darlene goes to extreme lengths to rent their condo to responsible adults. Consequently the condo and its beautiful furnishings are in excellent condition. You'll love the fully equipped kitchen and modern appliances. This condo is located on the second floor and has a balcony which overlooks the pool with a beautiful view of the gulf and is a perfect place to enjoy the warm Florida sun with a book and a cup of coffee or in the evening gaze upon the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. Pier Park with its many unique one-of-a-kind shops and chain stores, restaurants and movie theater is across the street. Whether you like to bike, walk or throw a line in the water on the fishing pier next door, it's all available right outside the door. Whether you will be staying for 2 months or 1 week, it will feel like home the moment you walk through the door.

  Owner response: Thanks for the wonderful review and we are so glad that you enjoyed our "home away from home" for the past 3 winters. Joel and I really enjoyed getting to know you through our phone calls and emails through the years and it was a pleasure meeting you in person. Please keep in touch and hopefully you'll get to come back to PCB again.

  Our experience was a positive one right from the start with Darlene and Joel. They were terrific to deal with. Our family was part of a 9-family excursion to PCB and we all visited each others rooms for various tropical paradise cocktails reasons and while all of the units were nicely done, every adult who visited us complimented us on our condo on how nicely decorated it was compared to theirs. Only having to run up one flight of stairs from the beach, which happens more often than you'd think, is also a plus. I'd highly recommend Darlene and Joel's condo except for the week that we wanna use it next year.

  This condo is awesome! I stayed there for one month. The furniture and decorations are truly first class. Best sleep I've had in years. The location is great because Pier Park (an outdoor mall with bars, restaurants, movies, and shopping) is right across the street. The condo is on the second floor, which offers an awesome view from the balcony. The owners are extremely nice and professional. I highly recommend it!

  This was our first time renting from VRBO. Joel and Darlene were wonderful. They were easy to do business with and were so kind and "down to earth." Their condo was absolutely beautiful! It was decorated tastefully and it made us feel like we were right at home. The view from the condo was perfect, too. From our balcony, we watched dolphins swim in the Gulf and experienced such beautiful sunsets. If you have young kids, they will love the bunk beds. Our two kids decided they wanted to live there just because of the bunk beds!! We really enjoyed our stay at the Calypso and hope to visit again. Thank you, Joel and Darlene, for sharing your second home with us. Todd and Kathy Cincinnati, Ohio

  This was our second time renting the condo at the Calypso from Joel & Darlene. And as expected, we had a wonderful time. The beach chairs are great to have! No more lugging chairs and umbrellas down to the beach. You care enough for your guest to include them with the stay. You also show you care by keeping the condo so nice. We will staying at the Calypso again next year! Thanks for the great memories!

  It doesn't get any better....the condo is beautifully decorated and the beach is incredible. It's obvious Darlene and Joel went out of their way to make their unit special for their guests. We are so glad we found it on VRBO. The decor was tasteful, warm and inviting. We enjoyed the view from the living room/master bedroom/balcony - the gulf waters are so close! Oh, and the beach chairs were awesome - reserved, front row! As we said....it doesn't get any better.
