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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Miles

Host profile image
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.
