About this apartment rental
Compliments of RVA, Beach Castle Resort expands from the bayside of Longboat Key to the Gulf – providing a place to launch your kayak and cast a line, a chance to spot exotic birds that stop here for our mild temperatures and to view a picture-perfect sunset over the Gulf of Mexico -- all courtesy of Mother Nature.
The grounds here are impeccable – from the well-manicured vegetation to the vast palm trees that dot this serene Longboat Key location. The buildings at Beach Castle are the color of sunshine and are accented by Bahama shutters and railings that resemble palm trees. Each unit is individually owned, which means no unit is alike and provides a unique vacation experience to our guests. However, all units provide a full kitchen, living room and private lanais – never compromising the comforts of home.
This secluded hideaway exudes a classic charm that, as vacationers, we yearn for. A place to get away from it all, relish in the Florida sunshine and reconnect with family and friends; all this while enjoying white-sand beaches, privacy and most importantly, vacation memories that last a lifetime.
Limited Membership Privileges: Guests of Beach Castle Resort #12 will have the option of temporary membership privileges at Cedars Tennis Resort located at 645 Cedars Court on Longboat Key. The limited temporary membership allows the guest access to fully-lit Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts (after 1 p.m. daily and subject to availability), community bicycles, fishing pier and Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool. The guest will also have access to the community fitness center.
Accommodations: Beach Castle Resort is a quiet, 21-unit condominium resort midway on the exclusive island of Longboat Key with a variety of views including Gulf front, Bay front, pool and garden views.
Unit #12 Features: Two-bedroom, two-bathroom second floor unit located on the bay side centrally located within steps from the community pool and laundry facilities for our guests convenience. Decorated in light, bright furnishings with classic Florida charm including tray ceilings and lots of windows for the Florida sunshine to come pouring through. Unit #12 is a favorite pick among returning guests and traveling families for numerous reasons. First, for it's close proximity to the community pool. Secondly, its the closest of the bay side units to the community beach access. And lastly, it offers additional bedding for those traveling in groups or families.

I’m always pleasantly surprised when I first walk in a Beach Castle 2 bedroom with how spacious the condo is. We haven’t stayed there in awhile, but hope to be back soon. Our unit was #12, upstairs right by the pool. The only negative was the trash can in the kitchen cabinet had not been emptied from the prior guests. Also, a suggestion is to add a grill by the pool as it’s a bit of a walk to grill on the bay or the grill beach-side.

Wonderful location and condo on Longboat Key. Our condo was next to the pool and a short walk to bayside pier and short walk to beach. The condo has beach towels, cooler, beach toys. Beach Castle resort also provided umbrellas and chairs beach side. The condo also provided membership to Cedar Tennis Club where we were able to use bicycles for hours at no charge or large Olympic size pool if you wanted. If she has stayed longer I would have use more of the amenities provided.
This area of FL was recommended by a friend who lives in area and knew we wanted a quiet area! Private beaches and low key vibes. If you love more action head a few mile up shore. Overall, I would return to this location in this area of Longboat Ley!

The property description accurate regarding the location, layout, amenities. Spotless clean and everything was well maintained. Sean at the front office provided an effortless check-in. There were no issues so we did not have to contact anyone. The private beach was heaven, the fishing dock was great to have, we played pickleball every day, and lastly we swam in the clean and quiet pool every afternoon. You are close to the action and restaurants. We highly recommend this property! What activities, attractions and restaurants did you enjoy?

We were able to gather at Beach Castle Resort with my entire family, it was ideal for us to each have our own condo - our family of 4 enjoyed #12 very much. The new kitchen is beautiful and the condo was well stocked. We loved this quieter stretch of the island and enjoyed ice cream next door from Tyler's more than once :)

We had a lovely time renting Condo #12. It was a great fit for our family of 6 and the amenities were family friendly. It was wonderful to find that the owners had stocked the condo with family friendliness in mind. The puzzles, games, unbreakable dishes, pool toys, etc. made the experience so much less stressful. I feel like they thought of everything from tape/pens in a spare drawer to plastic storage containers for conveniently storing leftovers. The new carpet and other upgrades that have been made created a beautiful and relaxing environment.

Kudos to your housekeeping service. This unit was super clean and I am OCD. I appreciate cleanliness above all else. The only negative thing about our stay is I thought we booked the gulf side. I was disappointed to find out we were not on the beach side. Also, the pool water was as hot as the hot tub water. It desperately needed cooled down. I would stay here again. It was a nice clean property that had everything we needed and more! There were plenty of chairs and umbrellas for our group. It was so nice to have water toys and ice cooler there for us to use. It was all in great shape and the kids loved having it. We’ll be back!

This property was updated and clean inside. The location was great. It was a very short walk to the beach.

The condo was beautiful and well appointed. Beds were ok and I would recommend bringing your own pillows (I would recommend that anyway). We really enjoyed our stay. The beach was across the street with very easy access. Everything was a short drive including Publix.

Our Vacation Rental at the Beach Castle Resort was incredibly memorable in many ways. The #12 apartment unit was very spacious and clean. It had all the basic amenities that we needed for our trip. The access to the resort exclusive private beach was a short 2 min walk. The resort also provided complimentary beach umbrellas and chairs. We will surely reconsider coming back for yet another trip to longboat Key.

We were in town for a National soccer tournament and want a quiet place to relax between games and enjoy the beach. Long Boat Key and Beach Castle were perfect. Much better than staying in a hotel, great location, clean and very enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at the Beach Castle Resort because it offered the convenience of a big family group staying together at a very affordable cost. There were accommodations for all and plenty of space for the teenagers to hang out together or simply play with their digital devices with the free WIFI connections. The beach was perfect! Not crowded at all--we had our own family space right in front of the beach and with lounge chairs, towels, and umbrellas included and easily found by the beach. The water was warm and clean of seaweed. We saw dolphins swimming by and found many beautiful shells by the seashore. The ambiance was totally family-friendly. The pool was kept nice and warm. Everything was very clean inside and out. Masks were worn by the service crew and at the front desk all precautions were being taken. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with all the utensils we needed to cook in every day. Overall we are extremely satisfied with our stay and are planning to go back there for the Labor Day Weekend in September!

The rooms were great...each bedroom having iwn private bath....just short walk to the beach where chairs & umbrelleas were provided.
Location was bit less congested than armand square, which we loved. Great place.

A bit overpriced for what you get
The property was adequate. Seemed a bit overpriced for the size and condition of the unit, compared to other units in the area. Couch needed replacement as the cushions seemed like they had not fill in them. We were able to rent for next year at the same price at a nearby unit which is larger and on the beach.

The property was in excellent condition although some of the furnishings needed to be replaced.
