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.

Everything was as listed in the description and shown in pictures. The condo had a great layout for us, all we needed for our stay and a short walk to the ocean or intracoastal waterway. Loved ther fully opening slider out to these screened patio! Definitely would consider starting hete again!

I have enjoyed staying at the beach castle numerous times. This particular unit needs a few updates particularly to the beds. The mattresses feel like they’re from the 1980s and the pillows were so large and hard that I filled the pillowcase with my socks and underwear and used that instead so I could sleep. If you get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, the mattress creeks in a way I haven’t heard since my childhood.
M with the exception of the beds, it’s a lovely place and I would highly recommend it. Maybe bring your own pillow if you come.

The property was immaculate upon arrival and furnishings were in very good condition and comfortable. Loved the screened in porch that is nestled up against palm trees and other tropical vegetation that rustle in the gulf breeze. It was so tranquil and relaxing. The beautiful gulf beach is a short walk. The pool was heated, nice. The manager was very pleasant. We checked in and checked out after hours, and all went smoothly. We ate out for every meal, so I can’t comment about how well the kitchen was stocked. I wouldn’t call this a luxurious or bougie place, but that’s what we loved about it. It has a very laid-back, Florida key vibe. The pictures posted are accurate.We were very comfortable here, and would stay again!

Wonderful stay for our sons wedding ~ nicely appointed unit; it had everything we needed! Great staff in the office. About a 10 minute drive from St Armand’s Key & Lido Beach (absolutely loved both) and about 20 minutes to Siesta Key (most beautifully sanded beach I’ve ever stepped on ❤️). Truly enjoyed our stay!

My unit was very dirty. I had to clean the kitchen thoroughly upon arrival. There was caked on food on the counters, food on the floor. I vacuumed and mopped the whole unit. With that said, the location was great and it was very relaxing, after the big cleaning I had to do

We love LBK and we spent a week on the key with our family. The Beach Castle was perfect. We had access to both the bay and the beach. The property was perfect for our family of four.

The check in was fast and easy. The condo was just the right size for our quick trip for a soccer tournament. The location was convenient to the complex, the airport, and shopping! We would definitely stay here again and plan to visit for a longer stay soon.

We missed Ted but found Clint to be most helpful. The Beach Castle is a one of a kind vacation spot in itself, what with the bay, dock, pool, whirlpool, and pristine gulf beach. The Beach Castle has many return guests, like my family who enjoy the quiet, private, safe landscaped island paradise. We also enjoy the many different eating places nearby, as well as st. Armand’s circle (sitting out at Starbucks enjoying a frap!)This time upon our arrival the lovely apartment needed to be freshened up. That has never been the case before.

Arrived on Fri after office closed but very easy to get rental package with keys. Unit nice and orderly. Some lights and AC were on to make it inviting. Very quiet in the unit. Walk across the road to beach is short but road is busy. Unit has upgraded appliances and plenty of kitchenware. Beds comfortable. Cleaning could be a tad better and need to change shower liner in main bathroom- mold noted. AC old and noisy but works for now. Would have been nice not to have someone washing walkways in building on a Saturday morning- water does spray in to the unit. Also would have been nice to get appropriate information as to where to park extra vehicles. We had 3 cars at any one time and it is a bit silly to have to run back and forth quite a distance to get someone's car. The unit was for 6 people so more than 1 car is expected.

I've been coming to Beach Castle since the 70's on Longboat Key. The property is well kept and updated and in a perfect paradise location with locations on bayside and gulf. The 4 stars for general condition represents the need for upgrading the sheets and towels in the unit. However, the furnishings were very comfortable and the unit had been updated in good taste with all tile floors.

The condo is nicely furnished and very clean. I would prefer a better lightbulb in the main room lamp as I had trouble reading at night. We enjoyed the warm pool and hot tub. Beach access across the street was very easy. Would stay here again.

This condo is bright and airy with very cute decorations and wall hangings. I loved walking out the front door and seeing all of the palm trees and beautiful tropical plants. Sunrises over Sarasota Bay are just a few steps away, and the Gulf of Mexico is an easy walk across the street. Several local restaurants (including Harry’s), an ice cream parlor, and a gift boutique are all within easy walking distance. The Publix supermarket is about 4 miles away. Ted, the manager, was very friendly and accommodating. This condo setting is perfect for both families and/or a romantic getaway because each the condos are spaced in a way that gives them each privacy. The worse thing about this trip was when we had to leave. I can’t wait to return!!!

Nice, unassuming property with all basic amenities. Beach is a short walk, has plenty of chairs/umbrellas and well maintained. Good location on the island halfway between two popular night spots, St. Armands and Bridge Street.

The RVA people were very helpful, the website showed furnishings, and physical placement of the unit, like near the pool, facing East, view from porch. The unit we rented had been repainted and had new furniture and was very neat, fun pictures, pillows, complete kitchen, the only thing we missed was the table on the patio to play cards, but we made do with the coffee table
