A great getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing week at a beautiful home. Layout was fantastic, lots of room for everyone. Kitchen was amazing. House was pretty clean, but we had one sandy bed when we arrived. Only negative, The internet was a real problem since a couple people in our group had to work. Very sketchy if any. So, you really need to look into that. But, location and layout couldn't be better. We will definitely be back.

Must stay!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was absolutely beautiful. Beach access was amazing. loved all the little amenities it had to offer. Would have loved to take advantage of the tent and chair set up but we only had 2 days of good weather. The only thing I would suggest to the owners is to get new mattresses for the beds downstairs. They are a little worn out.

Hi Bita, I'm not sure what was wrong with the beach during your stay but typically the north cape has the clearest water and whitest sand in the area. We have had some inclement weather but unfortunately that is outside of our control. Hope next time you stay the weather is better!

The perfect beach house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not only was this home beautiful, it was super functional and flowed perfectly for our family.The location on the beach was fantastic and very private.We enjoyed every minute of our stay, from gathering for meals and cocktails on the back deck, bonfires on the beach and preparing meals in that kitchen-WOW!There was plenty of room when we were all together but also the bedrooms were set up so that everyone had their privacy. Tons of parking and the lower level was great for washing up after the beach and storing your gear. We would definitely love to stay in Calaypso again.Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!!!

Wonderful!

Check in was a breeze. The bunk mattress pads were stained and sandy and the bathroom rugs looked unwashed but otherwise the property was pretty clean which is impressive because it's a large home and I'm sure takes a while to clean everything to get ready for the next guests. The views and proximity to the beach were amazing. We saw dolphins swimming everyday the entire week we were there. The kitchen was great to cook in and the elevator made it convenient for luggage and coolers. The ice maker was a game changer for packing the cooler each day. Overall, this house is amazing and we will be back in the future.

Right on the Ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Large deck and private beach. When sitting on the deck it feels like you are right next to the water. Cover the cushions or bring them inside overnight so they will be dry and you can use them first thing in the morning. Really nice furniture on deck. Comfortable inside. Cabana service is a nice touch!

A beautiful home with poor maintenance

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We reserved this home for all its beauty and beach front for our wedding guests. We loved all the spacious rooms and views with easy access to the beach. Plenty of parking and great security. We rented this house with permission from the rental company to have 2 small pets, one of which is a registered service dog: However, after a few hours, we were informed that we must leave or get rid of our dogs, as the owner had been watching on the security cameras and did not accept dogs. The rental company said the owner did not offer refunds: So, we had to board our pets. The house was dirty with dust, hairballs & toys. The beautiful master shower was covered in black mold and the hot water did not work most of the time. I asked for the owner to call and we had no response. We left early due to lack of hot water. Not happy!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept, 2023
This property is not pet friendly, which is clearly stated in the house description. At no time did you ask permission or inquire as to bringing pets. Our properties that are pet friendly require a pet deposit and pet registration paperwork to be completed in advance. Guests who require the use of service animals are asked to provide copies of certification papers prior to arrival. Had you been granted special permission to bring your pets, you would have had to provide these documents and incurred a pet fee, which you did not. Your violation of our rental agreement grants us the ability to require you to vacate without a refund as we are not provided ample time to schedule another guest. In this case, however, we chose to work with you and only asked that you board the dogs off premises, while allowing you to continue your stay. The hot water heaters are limited to a maximum temperature of 125 degrees to ensure the safety of our guests, although we made an exception and raised it to 130 degrees after your request for a higher temperature. Our staff visited the property multiple times during your stay in order to ensure your happiness and even generously agreed to grant you a partial refund after you chose to leave early. This property consistently receives rave reviews and in light of your blatant disregard for the rules of the house, we feel your review is unwarranted and vindictive.

Perfect Vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was one of the most enjoyable vacations our family has ever had! We have stayed on the Cape for several years to vacation and this was among the best one yet! The house was simply amazing and spacious for 10 people. The views were breathtaking from all rooms in the house, especially the kitchen. Everything was well thought out when the owners built this house. The house is gated with a private beach access, so our kids were able to go back and forth to the beach with no worries at all.I would highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking to stay at the Cape.

Fall break at Calypso

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall stay was good even with first 2 days of rain. Found other people’s hairs on sheets and in shower & toilet, Plus fingerprints on mirror, so housekeeping could be improved. Didn’t appreciate bug spray appointment during our trip. Gear rental company dropped stuff at wrong address. And several minor maintenance issues like gate not working during rain storm. Sucks driving to Port St Joe for dinner most nights since most Cape restaurants were closed. But location was great, beach was private except for occasional vehicle, Skullys was excellent. And bike path was fun even though several vehicles parked on it. Cabana service was great. Beautiful house though.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept, 2023
Thank you for your review and for alerting us to the issues you encountered. We strive for perfection for our guests and assure we will review the situation with housekeeping. We do apologize for the inconvenience with pest control but unfortunately it is a necessity in Florida to ensure homes remain pest free. It is a rare occurrence that the home is serviced while guests are present. Stay safe and we hope to see you back very soon.

Beautiful property / location - NOT CLEAN

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Calpyso is an almost-new property. The furniture, appliances, and decor are of a higher grade caliber than other beach properties. And, the location is amazing. However, those high-points are completely overshadowed by the filth you will find inside the property: dust, hairs, crumbs, dead bugs... etc. Every time we moved a chair or a pillow, it was the same thing. Sadly, could NOT recommend this property with its current (borderline unsanitary) conditions.

Perfect Family Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so pleased with our stay at Calypso. The privacy on the beach and direct access was exactly what we were looking for. The home itself was beautifully done and had so many upgrades that made the stay beyond what we would hope for. The homeowner stocked the kitchen with more utensils and appliances than we have had at any other rental. The home had ample space for everyone to spread out or be together. We had to call the management company a couple of times for small issues but they were pleasant and responsive with each request. We would absolutely stay here again and are so thankful the homeowner is choosing to share their gorgeous home.
