Comfortable and beautiful home with everything we needed. Brenda is an absolute blessing and went above and beyond what was expected. Great place to enjoy Corpus!
We stayed multiple nights and had a wonderful time. Home was very spacious and only a 5-10 minute drive to the major food and attractions we were looking for.
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.
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.
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!
We were in for a big dog show downtown so this location was convenient. Our host was gracious. She does live behind the house in a casita but met us and then left us to our visit.
The house and yard are beautiful, very well decorated.
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.
The house was very comfortable and cute and Brenda was friendly and accommodating. The house is an older home and needs some serious updating. The patio is cute. The neighborhood looks shabby, but is conveniently located. We ran out of hot water too quickly, but everything else was adequate.
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.
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!

Month long retreat.
Lovely, quiet home with artistic decor. A very well equipped kitchen and beautiful back yard space. Comfortable beds for sweet dreams. Close to the bay area with great walk paths.
Had a great stay at the house. It was comfortable and the description of the property was accurate. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We travel with our dog, and she provided dog bowls, dog treats, and a dog bed. This was so thoughtful. Additionally, the house is located very close to the bay front in a beautiful part of Corpus Christi. We had a great weekend.
It was a stroke of luck to find a rental a few doors down from the family we were visiting, but it was a complete serendipity that it wound up being so wonderful. The house is simply to die for. My kids wanted to move there permanently, Brenda was a dream, and I was more relaxed than I have ever been at a rental. Do not hesitate. This is the house you want to stay at. We will definitely be back!!!

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.
