Calypso is a breathtaking Waterfront Vacation Home in Captain`s Cove.

Calypso - Dance to the Song of the Sea.....

You know that feeling you get while relaxing on the beach and listening to steel drums play while the Sea Breeze blows through your hair? Enjoy this feeling every day at fabulous Calypso in Captain's Cove Golf and Yacht Club - one of the Best Kept Secrets on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This stunning 4 Bedroom/3 Full and 2 Half Waterfront Dream Home has something for everyone in the family. Located Canal Front on the Chincoteague Bay, this statuesque home is a Water Lover's delight, and is only 20 short minutes by car or boat to Chincoteague & Assateague Islands, where our wild ponies roam free. Looking for some OC excitement? Ocean City, MD is a short 45 minute drive away. Have the best of everything, right in the heart of the Eastern Shore!

Beautiful Calypso sleeps 8 more than comfortably. This Coastal Dream Home will take your breath away. As you drive through Captain's Cove, taking in the smells of whispering pines and salty, sweet air, you will feel a million miles away from the "real world". This is just what you've been waiting for! Will you hear traffic on the busy highway you drive every day? No way. Will you be checking into a busy hotel? Not a chance. You will arrive at this lovely home and find a place of peace, serenity, pure beauty, and tons of fun!

This majestic Home is 3 Levels of pure Luxury with Decks and Porches in every location to take in nothing but amazing Views. As you enter Calypso, you'll be swept away by Tropical Colors & Decor that will make you leave your troubles at the door. This one-of-a-kind Home was designed with a Reverse Floor Plan, maximizing Views from your Living Area and Kitchen, but trust me, they're sigh-worthy on every level. Upstairs you will find gleaming Bamboo Floors and Sunny Yellow Walls opening to a Wall of Windows facing the Canal and Chincoteague Bay. With soaring ceilings and an Open Floor Plan worthy of Family Vacation time together, you'll never want to leave. The comfortable Living Area is furnished beautifully and well-equipped with Free WiFi and Flat Screen Satellite TV. A wonderful Furnished Deck off of this level is a wonderful place to relax with your morning coffee or a glass of wine at day's end as you watch the sunset. Just imagine relaxing while the kids fish and catch crabs right in your own backyard!

The Chef in your Family will adore this well-stocked Kitchen with rich Granite Countertops and every gadget you could want. High-end Stainless Appliances, a breathtaking Tile Backsplash, and Canal Views will make preparing dinner not such a chore after all. Don't feel like cooking on Vacation? Visit the Marina Club in the Cove. There is ample seating for your family between the large Breakfast Bar and spacious Dining Area, and a convenient Half Bath just off the Living Area. Also on this level is a stunning Master Bedroom with a Queen Bed, Flat Screen TV, and fun Tropical Flair. The Master Bath is adorned with Granite and a Tub/Shower Combo.

As you make your way downstairs to the Middle Level, you'll find 3 more spacious Bedrooms! Bedroom 2 is a Junior Master featuring a Queen Bed, colors of Key Lime, and a great Furnished Deck with Views of Swan Gut - a beautiful area teeming with wildlife. You'll love watching Herons, Eagles, and Blue Herons fish for their morning meal. The Junior Master Bath has a Tub/Shower Combo. Bedroom 3 is a fabulous Beachy Blue and has 2 sets of Twin Bunkbeds. Finally, Bedroom 4 is showing off Nautical Navy Bedding on 2 more sets of Twin Bunkbeds, and has access to yet another Waterfront Furnished Deck! Wander to the Lower Level of Calypso, and you'll find a very cool space to hang out with the original Wooden Beams encased in the room. There is a Full Size Futon, another Half Bath, and yet another awesome Screened Porch - a great Hangout for the kids.

Just as seen.
This place is amazing for the price. Pictures are exactly how the house is. Not outdated. My only complaint is having to pay for the amenities. The host was very responsive and helpful with everything I asked. This would be a great place for a bigger group. Thanks for having us!

Perfect getaway
House was fantastic! And great location. About 30 minutes from the beach, but the drive is easy. If you are there when they have a scheduled rocket launch you can watch from the balcony or walk down the street. Friendly neighbors and so much to do! Would definitely go here again.

Fun week with the family
The property was as described and enough room for everyone. The kids enjoyed the local pools, but the beach was too long a drive. Beware of the pirates in the basement! The two year old saw them daily!!

Chincoteague Stay
Overall we had a nice week. There were a few hiccups along the way with the amenity fees and then access. The HOA was not easy to work with per the management company, and this made it difficult when planning. Also, we had completed the form for our passes and it was received but then we were told it wasn’t received. So we weren’t able to use the amenities until our 4th day of vacation, but still were charged for the entire 8 days for the passes. The amenity pass is required even to use the playground and basketball court, which was a surprise to all parties. The washing machine had mold in it and there were no cleaning supplies for me to be able to clean it properly and the air vents were disgusting. I wouldn’t mention this except there is a cleaning fee attached to this property and I feel these items should be taken care of. When I brought them up, the property management team did say they would enter a work order. Also, we did not opt for the linen package, but didn’t think of pot holders as linens. So we were forced to purchase a set while on vacation. No big deal, just helpful to know for the next group. Ultimately, we would not stay here again, but would book with Seaside Vacations, they were easy to work with.

Wonderful family vacation
We had a great family vacation! The house was beautiful, very nice amenities, and good restaurant in the community. The kids loved fishing and crabbing right out the back door. It is a bit of a drive to get out and see the area (30 minutes to Chincoteague, 40 minutes to Assateague, 1 hour to Ocean City) but worth the drive. Only complaints are dishwasher left dishes dirty and greasy and the oven task longer than it should to cook meals. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would stay here again.

The home was beautiful and the location was great, very peaceful and serene. We had a couple bumps in the road that were addressed- the property manager was responsive however one issue was not resolved to my liking but it would not effect my rating of this property. I would definitely come to this area again.

Great house with minor flaws
A group of friends and I stayed here for a week. Very clean house with lots of space for our large group. The balconies were very nice and it was a beautiful location. It was about a 30 minute drive to Chincoteague. The kitchen was updated with a full pantry, newer stove, and a fridge that had a water purifier built in. Check-in was online which was very convenient, but they don't give you the code to the house until actual check-in time. The internet connection at the house was poor but we could still stream shows on a lower quality setting. The queen beds were very nice but the bunk beds were a little too wobbly for comfort. Overall it was a nice place with full amenities!

Everything was exactly as pictured. We especially enjoyed sitting on the high deck with our morning coffee. So quiet and comfy. Just the sound of the birds and views of the bay. We had everything we needed. (Except a griddle!) Such a nice vacation. Thank you!

Peaceful Location
This is the perfect getaway if you want peace and quiet. Far from the hustle and bustle a city life brings. Great home to spend time with family and friends. Don’t plan on doing remote work from here as internet connection is extremely slow. Cellular connection is poor also. Clean and spacious. Just remember to bring your own pillows. Near the shore with beautiful views.

Nice house
This house is perfect for two families to share. The Marina at Capitain Cove is literally 2 minutes drive away and their food is amazing. The house is about 30 minutes from Chincoteague, which we don’t mind. I do echo one of the earlier reviews about the internet. It is indeed dial-up slow and AT&T does not have good coverage. That did not matter to us because we wanted to be disconnected and the house offered a good selection of DVDs. The kitchen cookware can be expanded. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
