Loved Gift From the Sea!
This house was perfect for our family of 4 adults & 3 kids. Great view of the ocean & sunsets were amazing! 4 levels but w/ an elevator, hauling our stuff up and down was super easy. The pool was nice & refreshing. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the master suite...it was the entire 4th floor, therefore very private. We love the Cape...weather was perfect and the conditions of the ocean were very nice all week...yellow flag, but could have easily been green! We would definitely recommend this house & would rent again! Thank you for a great stay!

Memories from the Forgotten Coast
A Taste of Heaven is a great house! Beautifully landscaped, Weber gas grill, hot tub, a closet full of beach toys/chairs, and plenty of seating and chaises for sun or shade on a lovely terrace around the pool are special additions to this property.
The elevator made unloading and packing a breeze but it was also essential to on person in our group...4 couples.
The kitchen is as well equipped as you could ask for. Since there are limited restaurants that was a real plus. Long Bill’s, about two miles toward the end of the peninsula is a fun lunch spot. We bought fresh seafood at the little seafood market on the corner just before you get to Haven Dr.
The living area accommodated all 8 of us or easily divided for smaller, more intimate conversations. The white furniture was comfortable and clean.
There were a couple of hiccups. Mon night one of the fire alarms went off for about five minutes and then began again for 20 minutes at 4:00 am. The management company returned our call and said they would handle it but couldn’t tell or notify us via text when someone would be there. A nice “dock and deck” man appeared later in the day. He said he didn’t know anything about the alarms but he took a couple from the house and said someone would bring them back. They were never returned.
The AC required comforters at night in the front bedrooms. There was no air flow in the back bedrooms and the fan didn’t work. Fortunately the nights were cool and we slept with the windows open and without cover.
Again the house, pool area and beach access are all great. There are a couple of details that would make it A+. There are no coat hangers in any of the closets. An unexpected trip to the Dollar Store in Port St Joe remedied that.
As pointed out in the instructions, there is a small bath towel, hand towel and washcloth for each person. This is a special house but minimal bath towels were definitely a negative. We brought own extra bath towels along with Dove, Bounty, Tide, Dawn, etc. and beach towels. If you need anything, a “quick” trip to the store is 30 minutes both ways, so arrived prepared.

Lovely getaway
My husband, our two children and three grands had a lovely week at Calypso. The house was well appointed and comfortable. We cooked our meals and the kitchen was well equipped. We have no complaints! Loved our time and would go back!
