About this property

Beachfront • 2 King Primary Suites • Walk to Pier Park

🌊 The Sandcastle at Calypso

Some beach vacations feel like you're staying in a condo.

The Sandcastle feels like you're moving into your own beachfront home for the week.

Located directly on the beach at Calypso Resort, The Sandcastle was thoughtfully designed for couples, families, and friends who want a vacation that's comfortable, convenient, and wonderfully easy from the moment they arrive.

No crossing busy streets.

No packing up the car to get to the beach.

No sacrificing space for location.

Just unpack, stop by the grocery store, and let your vacation begin.

Why We Love the Second Floor

Many people assume the higher the floor, the better the vacation.

After spending time here, many guests discover something different.

Everything is simply... easier.

Need one more item from the grocery store?

An easy trip.

Heading to dinner at Pier Park?

You're back before you know it.

Want to squeeze in a workout?

The beachfront fitness center is just one floor above, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Gulf.

Rather take the stairs than wait for an elevator?

They're right beside the condo.

When you're carrying beach chairs, groceries, sleepy children, or just ready to relax after a long day, those little conveniences become some of the things guests appreciate most.

A Balcony You'll Actually Use

Not every beachfront balcony feels the same.

Ours is one of the longer balconies at Calypso, giving everyone room to spread out instead of feeling crowded.

The mature palm trees below create something that's surprisingly rare—a feeling of privacy without taking away the view.

Enjoy your morning coffee in the rocker.

Read a book in the afternoon shade.

Watch afternoon thunderstorms roll across the Gulf.

End the evening with a sunset that never seems to look quite the same twice.

This isn't just another balcony.

For many guests, it becomes their favorite room.

Designed to Feel Like Home

One thing we hear over and over is...

"It looks exactly like the pictures."

That's intentional.

We'd rather pleasantly surprise you with how spacious it feels than disappoint you with clever photography.

The open living area invites everyone to gather together while still giving each person room to relax.

The two recliners were chosen because vacation should actually be comfortable.

The artwork was selected to make the condo feel warm rather than temporary.

The crown molding adds a quiet touch of craftsmanship throughout the home.

Even the televisions work the same way with Roku, so you're not learning a different remote in every room.

Little things?

Maybe.

But those little things add up to a much better vacation.

The Timeout Collections Difference

We believe the best vacations aren't created by having the most amenities.

They're created by removing the little frustrations that keep you from relaxing.

When everything is easy...

When everyone has space...

When you can walk to dinner, step onto the beach, or simply sit on the balcony listening to the waves...

Something changes.

You stop thinking about the schedule.

You stop thinking about work.

You stop thinking about everything waiting for you back home.

And that's what a Timeout is all about.

## About Us

Hello! We're John and Penny.

First, thank you for considering one of our homes for your vacation. We know you have many wonderful places to choose from, and we don't take it lightly when someone trusts us with their family's time away.

We're the kind of people who believe vacations are about much more than where you sleep. They're about slowing down, laughing together, watching sunsets, drinking coffee with a view, and making memories that you'll talk about long after you've unpacked your suitcase.

When we purchased our homes, we didn't furnish them with the mindset of "that's good enough." We asked ourselves a different question:

**"If our own family were staying here next weekend, what would we want?"**

That question has guided every decision we've made.

From comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchens to cozy places to gather, we've spent countless hours choosing the little details that help a house feel welcoming. We continue making improvements because we believe our guests deserve our very best.

One of our favorite parts of hosting is hearing from the families who stay with us. We genuinely appreciate your suggestions because many of the improvements in our homes have come from listening to guests just like you.

Whether you're enjoying the peaceful beauty of the Smoky Mountains or watching the waves roll in along the Gulf, our hope is simple:

That you'll feel at home.

That you'll make wonderful memories with the people you love.

And that when your vacation comes to an end, you'll already be looking forward to your next Timeout.

We're honored you're here, and we hope to welcome you soon.

Warmly,

**John & Penny**
