About this property
KingBed-Patio-BBQ-WD-FastWiFi-Walk2Bay-20min2Beach
When you arrive at Casa Calypso in this historic neighborhood, you will immediately relax in the chill vibe of this airy, light filled space. Kick off your shoes, grab a cold one and go for a swing in the hammock. Plan your trip to the beach, under a 30 min drive away - play, swim in the surf, sunbathe.
Or go for a stroll along the bay; just a 20 minute walk to water views. Enjoy a seafood dinner downtown; a 10 min drive away.
Return to your private sanctuary and relax, rinse (off) & repeat!
**PLEASE NOTE** I do live on the property; in the little "casita" in the back yard. I can be available for any questions; otherwise my priority is to give my guests as much privacy as I can, while still living on the property. So if you need complete privacy, my home may not be a good fit for you!
Two big bedrooms, two large living areas, intimate dining room, open kitchen design, roomy bathroom.
Washer & dryer in house.
Spectacular patio & pergola make outdoor living a pleasure. A lush & cozy backyard makes it your private sanctuary.
Carport for your small car and plenty of driveway space.
Quiet, friendly neighborhood centrally located; walking distance to the bay, major grocery store, two hospitals (Dr's Regional & Driscoll Children's), restaurants, dollar store, gym.
Under a 30 minute drive from house to beach. 10 minute walk to bay front, 5 more to kid-magnet Cole Park. 10 minutes to Downtown, 15 minutes to attractions Concrete Street Ampitheatre, Whataburger Field, American Bank Center, Hurricane Alley water park, The Lexington, Texas State Aquarium. 10 minutes to La Palmera Mall and many restaurants. 30 minutes to N. Padre Island, 40 minutes to Port Aransas. Bus stop is one block away.
I have filled my home with original art, functional antiques, lovely rugs - and NO clutter! Most people when entering my home comment on the "good energy" You will LOVE calling this place home for your stay here in Corpus Christi. As we say here; "Mi casa es su casa!" (my house is your house).

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 15 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!
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
It is my great pleasure to share my sanctuary with others of like mind. By that I mean you will treat my house as if a good friend has generously shared their lovely space with you in their absence. Secluded, peaceful, open and airy. 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.
