Calypso, October 2026
Dues from 2025 to 2026 MLS listings. VA status from the VA Condo Report, October 20, 2026. Drive time without traffic.
Calypso was built in 1990 and 1991 behind a controlled-access gate on Key Largo Road, Monserrat Way and Bimini Way, with a community pool and spa. Each townhome has an attached two-car garage.
Listings show three-bedroom plans at 1,518 square feet and a larger plan at 1,877 square feet with three or four bedrooms, each with its own laundry room. Legends, a separate gated complex, also sits on Key Largo Road, so I check every address before you write an offer.
Dues ran $440 to $465 a month on 2025 and 2026 listings, covering water, trash, the roof, exterior building maintenance and limited insurance. Ask for the current budget and reserve study during escrow.
Calypso is on the VA Condo Report as Calypso @ Vista Largo (ID 006017), Vista Tract 89-07, Accepted Without Conditions as of May 1989. The record lists the tract, not a street, so I have your lender match it to the home before you write an offer.
With full entitlement there's no down payment and no monthly mortgage insurance. HOA dues count in the payment your lender qualifies you on, so I run the numbers with the dues included before you write an offer.

As first-time homebuyers, he made the VA process look seamless and explained everything to us in great detail. He was working with us from the beginning when we were still overseas in Japan. Being a dual-active military family, I would 100% recommend him. He truly supports and understands the military community and lifestyle, a veteran himself.
From Key Largo Road, the Main Gate is about 11.6 miles by way of Highway 78 and I-5, around 19 minutes, and the San Luis Rey Gate is about 10.9 miles, around 20 minutes. Drive times are without traffic or a line at the gate, so plan for more at rush hour.
