About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Artist's Home with King Bed 3 Blocks from the Bay

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).

Artist cottage
Very nice 2 bedroom 1 bath home with a welcoming feel. The beds are queen and king size so plenty of space for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans for cooking meals. Back patio is relaxing. Bottled water with dispenser is provided. The neighborhood felt safe and you are within close proximity to a grocery store, hospital, the ocean. Owner stays in a casita on the property which is nice should you need anything. If not, she is rarely seen. Overall, my 80 year old mother and I had a very nice stay in a home that provided space to meet all our needs. Highly recommend the property over a hotel.

A weekend away
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.

Time Travel to the Sinatra Era
Brenda is an excellent hostess. We knew it would be enjoyable when entering the front door and stepping back in time to the Sinatra Era—just the right amount of fun and whimsy. Thank you, Brenda. // G&R

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!
