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.

Reviewer Comments: I can not give this a 5 star as both of the shower have mold around where there is caulking, the fan that was provided was extremely dirty, the sliding door was near impossible to open, the location was amazing the staff were as well. just needs a little extra deep cleaning. Like that there are chairs and umbrellas provided starting at 9 am.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely condo but needs some love and updating. There are some stucco repairs needed on the lanai. The showers need working sliding doors and tile repair. The appliances need updating - the refrigerator door needs replaced especially. The blinds and sliding doors need repair. Furniture is comfortable and ample & tvs are good quality.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great vacation in this unit. We had 2 couples and the bedrooms and baths were very nice. It was right at the entrance to the beach. Very quite. Had a nice screened in porch and sliding glass door to the outside. There were 3 TVs, but one only got streaming shows. Everything in the unit was in great condition. We loved it and would return. As we arrived, we ran into the folks who had rented it the week before and they told us that they loved it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here before, in this unit as well as other units. Always a good experience, so didn't hesitate to book again. This time Unit 1 was in need of an update and a thorough cleaning. It's a great setting,with a beautiful view of the Gulf, so if it's cleaned and maintained, it would be really nice...just a little disappointed this trip. Property manager was friendly, but we didn't really want to spend our week having the unit worked on.

This was my first time renting at Beach Castle. It was cleaned and well presented. My only criticism is that the place had an odor. The master bath had a strong odor as well. I did informed housekeeping when we checked out. Hopefully they’ll take care of before the next guests. You can’t beat the location and the quiet beach. I don’t think I’ll be returning because I think the price it’s to high.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit was not clean at all and had a dingy smell upon entering that didn’t go away. We had to purchase air freshener. Porch was so dirty (dead roaches as well) we couldn’t use it. Garbage disposal and many of the electrical outlets (master, kitchen, living room) did not work. Only one functioning lamp in the living room. Most of the kitchen items were dirty and/or need to replaced. You can’t beat the location and the kids enjoy the pool. We love this area and have stayed in other units here without a problem, but this unit, we will never rent again.
