I have stayed at Calyspo and PCB for years but NEVER in such a great place! All the conveniences of home but the grandeur of a resort. Perfect 2nd floor location. Great views and and immaculately kept condo. BEST condo in Calypso by far! Staying again in September and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else! This is The ONE!

Owner response:WOW! thanks for the kind words. You guys are welcome back any time. So glad we were able to get you guys down this spring! Hope your excited about your return trip in the fall. mitch

Condo was great! Everything was as described and location was perfect. The complex was always being cleaned and entire week was problem free. Beach chairs at beach were awesome; very relaxing. Will definitely rent this unit again. Check-in and checkout went smooth and as advertised. Thank you to Mitch for everything!

Owner response:Thanks for the kind review. its simply amazing to me that October is NOT the busiest season at the beach. The water is crystal clear, seldom rains, not crowded. its just perfect. you guys come back any time. thanks again. mitch

BEST Condo!! BEST Owner!! BEST Resort!! The ONLY place to stay in PCB!!!

Guest: Michael (Plymouth, MIchigan)
Date of Stay: 04/16/11 Review Submitted: 05/11/11

I can't say enough about Mitch, his condo, and Calypso!! This was the best vacation we've ever taken!!! (By the way - the "Guest Comment Entered by Owner" with the name michael is word for word from an e-mail I sent Mitch. Sometimes you wonder if the owners embellish the comments. He didn't - that's exactly what I wrote.) It's hard to know where to start. The condo was beautiful! Exactly as pictured and so comfortable. I think someone else in another comment talked about the mattresses. They were fabulous! I haven't slept that well in 10 years. No joke! I have a bad back and every morning while there I woke up pain free. Slept in the King bed with my wife all week, but fell asleep in the spare bedroom watching a game one night. Same for that bed! I was so sound asleep that my daughter just slept in the master with my wife that night. The rest of the condo was fantastic! The view from the 11th floor was great. I thought it might be too high - but it wasn't. All we could hear were the soothing waves. Mitch was fantastic!! This was the first time we've rented from VRBO so I was a little nervous, and I told that to Mitch. He was so great! Some people I called really didn't answer my questions directly. Mitch did! He couldn't have been more accommodating and answered every question I had. This is the guy to rent from!!!! The beach? Man it was awesome!! This was our first time to the Florida Pan Handle and it is exactly as advertised - sugar white sand and emerald green waters. After a Michigan winter - you can't imagine how thrilled we were to be swimming in the Gulf and playing in the sand. It actually snowed in Michigan while were there and it was in the mid 80's in PCB. As far a Calypso goes - I don't know why you'd want to stay anywhere else. The resort itself is great! Clean and well maintained. The pools were very nice as well. The location is the primary reason. Right next to Pier Park - right next to it!! You don't ever have to get in your car!! Pier Park has everything you need - it's beautiful! Not only that - it's away from what can be the crazy end of PCB. PCB does have a little bit of reputation of being wild but don't let that scare you. That's 3 to 5 miles away going East. None of that here. This is a great family resort!! Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks again Mitch!! We will definitely be back!! Call Mitch - he will take care of you and make sure you have a wonderful vacation!

Owner response:wow...thanks for the glowing review. thanks for the pictures, you guys have a really great looking family. come back anytime. mitch

Mitch, We had a phenomenal time at your condo in Calypso!!! We have just raved to everyone we know, family and friends, about your place and PCB ever since we've been home! I'm sure we'll have some referrals for you, and I'm sure we'll want to go back again in the near future. I plan to write a glowing review of you and your place on VRBO - I just haven't had time as of yet since we've been home. Thanks again!!! I really mean that!! You gave me a good deal and that meant I could give my family a wonderful vacation. Something we haven't been able to do in a number of years. My kids were so happy the entire week we were there, and so was my wife. On the first Sunday we were there we were on our way to church and my 12 year old son was looking out the car window. I knew it was going to be a great week when he said, "Palm trees make me happy." Then after an afternoon at the beach I asked one of my daughters if she wanted to go for a walk to Pier Park or out on the Pier and she said, "No thanks. I could stay here all day. This apartment is so nice I just don't want to leave." I'll be in touch again very soon. Two pictures of my family are attached. Thanks, Michael

Just wanted to tell you Mitch the condo was FABULOUS!!! I would love to keep it a secret. I intend to return this summer and bring the entire family. The place was so nice and clean. I felt like i was right at home as soon as we arrived. I also loved the staff they were so friendly. Thanks again. And we will be in touch soon for our summer vacation.

Hi Mitch - Just wanted to thank you for allowing us to use your condo in Panama City Beach last week. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - it was wonderful! Weather was pretty good, too. We had some rain move in with rough waters by the end of the week, but it didn't ruin any of our fun! We loved Panama City and will most definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much!

best place to rent at calypso. the owners bend over backwards to make your vacation great

Just got back from renting vrbo 81956 and 173240 from Mitch Warren. Mitch is undoubtedly the nicest guy you can deal with, absolutely bent over backwards for our family. We pestered him to death during the oil spill. He dealt with us in a very gracious, kind, and honest manner. We found this unit to be awesome. they really have put in high quality bedding, I gave up roughing it years ago. The mattresses are pure heaven. You can tell they take great pride in the unit, the walls were spotless, condo very clean, and the furniture new, just like Mitch said it would be. Mitch set us up with beach service, and even sent us a list of great places to eat, all of them great. I just cant say enough about how well we were treated and how nice this condo is. You will NOT go wrong renting this unit. Best trip to pcb ever.

Hi Mitch, I just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time in Panama City Beach. The condo 1102 W was amazing. We have stayed 2 previous times at the Calypso and this time was by far the easiest to check in and out of. The condo was very clean and decorated great! When we return next year we would love to use the same condo again. I will contact you about that at the beginning of 2011. Again thank you so much! Abby

We just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful vacation in Panama City Beach. Your condo was impeccable and we couldn't have been more pleased. The support staff at Calypso as well as the beach staff were great and represented your interests well. When vacationing in Panama City Beach we will certainly look to you as our family's first choice for accommodations. Thanks again!!! Respectfully, Eddie and Jane

Great place to rent & great people to rent from!!!

Guest: Dan Tay (Gallatin,Tn)
Date of Stay: 05/08/10 Review Submitted: 05/27/10

I have rented places at the beach my entire life, but this is truly the best condo I've ever rented. Let me start with the owners; they truly care & are concerned that your time at their condo is perfect. They follow up prior to your arrival, they have a local contact who is very much hands on & everyone's attitude is; "how can we make your stay perfect".... Now for the condo; not anywhere near your typical condo rental; best remark I can make; from the time we walked in the place it felt like "home"! It is decorated the way you'd want your home; warm, inviting, classy, but yet very comfortable. Truly the best mattress I've ever slept on & the moment I returned home started looking to purchase this mattress. The location is perfect; 11th floor near the end of the walkway, very very quiet & we arrived the last 2 days of biker week but were not disturbed by the noise. I am a very picky vacationer & there is not one thing I could have wished this condo had or anything else the owner could have done. They followed up when we returned to insure everything went the way we expected. Calypso, as a property is the nicest place on the beach & is located on the west side of PCB away from all the conjestion & only 25 minutes from Sandestin shopping. I usually don't write reviews, but the owners, the condo, the positive attitude approach of everything left me no choice but to share; do yourself a favor if looking to rent; STAY HERE!

Thank you so much for renting us your place last week. It was the first time my family has gotten together for a vacation, without going to grandma's, we had a BLAST. Loved how close you are to Pier Park and the beach. Hoping to rent from you again next Spring Break. Thanks again! DeLynn

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this beautiful unit! The condo was above and beyond what we were expecting, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could need, the decor was beautiful, and the view was breathtaking! We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from our huge balcony and the close walk to Pier Park (tons of shopping and wonderful food!). Everything about our stay was spectacular, we would highly recommend this unit for your vacation!

this condo was amazing. absolutely spotless, looked brand new. the kitchen was so well stocked. we had never been to PCB for spring break and were a little wary about the crowds, but the calypso resort is so family friendly. we lived at the beach and at pier park. we have rented from Mitch before and he always has the best of the best. if you have a chance to stay in this unit....do it....it is awesome.
