For being an older home, this property had everything we needed to be comfortable. Its central location in Corpus Christi was ideal. The host, Brenda, welcomed us with the assurance that she was only a text or call away. Her info booklet was quite helpful. When searching I was drawn to the colorful artistic vibe in photos. The real thing did not disappoint. I would stay here again.

Thank you Bobbi! Hope you gals come back and see me soon! x0x0
We were so happy this quaint cottage was just as appeared on the web site. Love the decor. It had everything we needed. We hope to be back for another visit.
Brought family to an event in Corpus. Absolutely loved this house. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. We would definitely stay again.
Thank you Brenda!
The home is exactly as photos show. Lots of interesting art, books and photos. Plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. Comfortable beds, nice shower and linens. Felt safe in the neighborhood and the location was perfect for our planned activities. Overall, a lovely stay.
An unique and quirky little property... a great older home with a ton of artistic touches. Brenda was an excellent hostess and she ensured to not make her presence known during our stay.
It was a wonderful place to stay and all the amenities made it a comfortable spot for our family to gather.
We had the best stay, great location central to everything. Very artsy decor which we loved and the house was bigger than we thought. She has a true talent for interior design! Owner was so friendly and made us feel so welcome, she even gave us recommendations for places to go. Would absolutely stay here again.

Thanks so much for the great review Cosette! I truly enjoyed having you gals here; your kind words are much appreciated. Come back anytime!
Great accommodations, good location and terrific property owner.
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!

Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks so much for your understanding regarding that first little snafu...
It's folks like you who make sharing my home so rewarding. Come back anytime.... -Brenda
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.
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.
This was the perfect place for us to come and see our granddaughter. The house was very comfortable, great location/neighborhood and Brenda was very accommodating .
A big plus was that my husband is on a walker and she had a shower chair. I would definitely recommend this home.
Very roomy, comfortable house for four. Host is great.
All the amenities you would expect. Recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda Miles
HI there - I'm a freelance photographer by trade; and have also dabbled in other things, one being property management… I bought my post-divorce house 20 years ago & joined the ranks of single-woman homeowners.
I like to travel and have found that sharing my home with others is a great way to utilize my resources and have a gypsy life-style!
Why they chose this property
Secluded, peaceful, open and airy. Quaint neighborhood excellent for walking. Great for artist retreats - writing, music, etc., or a central base for exploring our wonderful Corpus Christi!
What makes this property unique
For the price of a (mediocre?) hotel, you can stay at Casa Calypso, a little bit of magic in the heart of Corpus Christi. From the moment you enter the front door, you will feel the peaceful vibe. I have created a private sanctuary of a house that I'm now sharing with travelers with an adventurous spirit. The backyard is truly a hidden delight; relax under the pergola or do some power-lounging in the hammock. Summer nights out there are entrancing. Or just sit on the couch in the a.c. and watch the birds out of the super-sized sliding glass doors. Prepare a meal in the open kitchen while visiting or watching TV. Have a romantic meal in the dining room surrounded by original art. Practice yoga or stretching in the big open front room. Or brush up on your piano playing skills on the baby grande.
