I, along with some friends, take our kids to the Pirates of the High Seas Festival every year in October. Calypso Towers is so convenient to the festivities at Pier Park and is our preferred place to stay. This was our first time in this particular unit. We did have to reach out to the owner upon arrival as I did not receive the key code or garage gate code prior to arrival. But she was quick to answer the phone and get us in. Previous reviews have mentioned dated furniture, peeling cabinet paint, and a dirty unit upon arrival. Maybe the furniture and decor could be updated. And yes, the paint is peeling on some of the cabinets. And housekeeping could do a slightly better job. But I am really not renting the unit for the decor and furnishings--we are vacationing with children. The unit is still very accommodating as there was adequate seating for lounging and dining and the view is terrific. The kitchen has sufficient cutlery, plates, utensils, etc for a week at the beach. And although housekeeping needs to step up their game, a day on the beach always brings in more sand. For the price, this unit is a great deal! We would definitely stay again!
