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.

Not at all experience/ stay expected, especially for price.
1.) Units garbage disposal needs changed. Smells like horrible fish/ rancid smell. After host was contacted management company to address, they simply but garbage disposal tabs and thought would do the trick. Did not, and sink opening had to be covered whole stay.
2.) Mold around sink base, look like they tried to be covered up by white caulk.
3.) HVAC filter looked like it has not been changed in forever. Maintenance changed after requested, but could see nothing but dust in utility closed. I have pics for proof.
4.) Leaking faucets.
5.) Battery acid on x-box remotes which children touched.
6.) View is not desirable as you have to stand up to even see view.
7.) Guests upstairs were up well into middle of night, and constant noise.
8.) 1 washer/ dryer for 4 units, very loud, never cleaned inside. Had re-wash clothing when returned home.
9.) Patio very run down, and did not feel clean to sit outside.
10.) Overall would never ever stay at this place. Felt dirty, barely taken care of, and frankly a waste of money. Charge such as high rental for such a horrible unit. I read other reviews prior, and I suggest don't trust them. Seek elsewhere if you don't want to waste almost 3 grand for 4 nights.

Reviewer Comments:
The family stay here was perfect. Everything we needed was provided. There are plenty of chairs and umbrellas, so don't bring any like I did. Everything was clean, we used the gas grill several times. The only bad thing we found was the swimming pool is small and the water was hot, but Beach Castle gave us a pass to the Tennis club 3 minutes away and they have an Olympic size pool that was very nice. All the guests were friendly, you start to meet on the beach. I would advise not to park under the trees, our car was full of ants from them falling out of the trees when the wind blew. We will defiantly stay here every time we come if there is a unit available. Randy at the office was very helpful every time we called with questions. Fishing was good of the dock. There is also a washer and dryer free in the building. That was a plus for us.

Location was fantastic, it was steps to beach however, the unit was sub par for the price. Broken sliders, broken toilet, terribly uncomfortable beds and pillows. Dirty shower curtain in bathroom, kitchen although it looked updated was stocked with old and mismatched things like flatware glassware and older, low end appliances. Whole unit needs an update and refresh! Wanted to enjoy being in the unit but just put a damper on the trip. The Beach Castle resort was lovely as always but we will surely choose a different unit next time.

I've been visiting Beach Castle over 20 years. This was our first stay in unit 3. I was pleased to have a view of the water, being on the lower level. The unit could've stood a good cleaning. Sheets were sandy upon arrival, a used bandaid stuck to the bedroom mirror, dusty furniture, sandy countertops, and tables in the livingroom. This is the second time we've stayed (last was in 2021) that the shower curtain liner could've used replacing. I don't like the idea of a bathroom rug outside of the shower, I'd rather have a towel to lay down. The toliet is loose from the floor.The patio doors could stand to be replaced. very hard to open, as if they're not on track. There's also a cut in the screen in the lanai, so we got pretty bit up.We did survive hurricane Idalia in unit 3, though we were under a mandatory evacuation. We were trying to see if we'd get our money back, if we left given the mandatory evacuation, but no such luck. Happy we ended up staying, scary as it was. Luckily we never lost power!

We really like staying in this condo. It is clean and proximity to the beach is great. We were a little disappointed bc the keurig didn’t work (kept overflowing) and not all the pots/pans had lids. But overall we liked this unit and we’re happy with it.

This was our second stay in Beach Castle #3 and we will be back! We love it! However, there are a few minor adjustments that could make stays better:1. The kitchen supplies need a refresh. It looks like the kitchen was properly stocked at one point, but that things have disappeared. For instance, there are only a few pots/pans and many lids with no matching pot. Also, there seem to be few forks but tons of butter knives and not enough medium or large bowls.2. There are not enough places to hang towels/wet bathing suits. I suggest adding over the door hooks on all of the doors (bed and bath), and at least one new towel rack per bathroom. In addition, a laundry drying rack or something similar to be kept on the screened in porch would be very helpful!3. The TV is not a smart TV, so we could not log into our streaming services. And, the TV seems to be an HD tv, but does not have an HDMI connection, so the picture quality is poor. 4. The lock is broken on the right sliding door to the patio from the den.

Excellent location. The staff was very helpful. There was a clogged sink and maintenace was quick and courteous. A chair was broken and one of the table legs was broken. Most of the sun umbrellas were broken. The unit needs a refresh and new furniture.all in all, we had a good time because of the location, but the unit was certainly much less than perfect

10.0 / 10.0
Overall we were very pleased. A bit smaller than we expected, as the dining room is the screened porch, and the laundry room is not in the unit but shared by at least four units. The location puts you within easy walking distance of a half dozen really good restaurants. The private beach is nice, with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas if needed. Wonderful spot. Only suggestions we would make would be to upgrade the barstools, as they had no cushoning and you felt like you were sitting on a wood frame. Very uncomfortable. We want to stay longer next year and hope we can make that happen.

Reviewer Comments:
So you can get a perfect sunset at any LBK beach front property, but we like Beach Castles for the “Old Florida” feel. No high rise, no huge parking lot, no elevator!! This unit had been renovated but it needed a little attention: tub drain would not work properly & bath light had some strange flickering. I did let management know & they very promptly sent someone over but they were unable to fix. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, great grill right outside the unit, screened porch is a bit small. My biggest complaint: the sheets must come from a service-they we’re very rough. For the price paid, I would certainly expect cool, crisp cotton -but I’ll admit it -I’m a sheet SNOB. Membership at the CEDARS was huge plus for us bc we play tennis & Husband swims laps for fitness. Great benefit to access that club.

We had a wonderful time considering it was December. temps were in the high 70s & low 80's. We wanted to book for Dec. 2023 to Jan. 2024, but couldn't because they raised the price over $2,000 a week. We will be staying in #15 instead. Too bad. The view of the Gulf from #3 was fantastic!

I also saw his smiling face throughout our stay and just loved chatting with him. He gave me great tips on where to dine and shop during my stay and was so helpful. Thank you Ted and I hope you and everyone in the area are safe from the upcoming hurricane. Can’t wait to return to Beach Castle and beautiful Longboat Key.

Well equipped kitchen, and enough space for the six of us. Nice central location within 15 minutes of everything in Longboat and St. Armands. Will likely be back!

Family of 5 and it was our first time visiting LBK. We loved this rental and especially loved the easy access to the beach. They provided chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and a starter kit of dishwashing soap, trash bags, etc. The view was still amazing being on the lower floor. We also loved being able to walk on the pier across the street! We got to see a momma and baby manatee. We had a wonderful time!

Vacation during the week after Christmas was wonderful. Weather was fantastic! I liked the new paint job in the condo. The only thing I had a problem with is that I would like more towel racks or places to hang my towels in the bathroom. They never seemed to get dry because of all the humidity. Thanks for having extra towels in the condo. That helped a lot.

This was a nicely decorated, convenient unit. The people around were also very friendly. We loved the access to private beach, laundry, and ultimately overall relaxing vibe of the area. We were on the Gulf Side. Minutes to walk to great restaurants and ice cream. I would recommend this to those wanting a private getaway, relaxing beach time, and perfect for little ones hunting for seashells and building sand castles. One recommendation would be to be a bit clearer on after hours pick up of keys. We came in late (raining) and it was pitch dark, so if you can time an arrival during office hours/light it is an easier find. Thank you for a very pleasant time! Definitely will consider for future stays! We wish you all the best going into the 2022 New Year. Travel safely everyone.

Wow! We had such a fabulous time. I had stayed in this unit 2 years ago with my sisters and mom and wanted to bring my husband and kids this time. We can’t describe how amazing it was. The views, the location, the facility. It was all exactly what we hoped for. We will for sure be back. We already miss getting up, sitting outside eating our breakfast and then heading to the beach.
This time we decided not to rent a car so that we could just focus on staying at the property and going to the beach. We’re so glad we did bc we were able to use the bikes provided and there were several great restaurants within walking distance. Our favorite place to eat was Euphemia Haye! Hands down one of our favorite restaurants that we’ve ever been to. We decided to order our groceries from Publix and they delivered. We also got a Uber one day to go to St Armands, but other than that we were at the beach and loved every minute of it. There was really no need to go explore anything else. We had everything we needed. The chairs the umbrellas beach towels. I loved how everything was included so we didn’t have to buy it or bring it from home. It makes it so easy to travel. Looking forward to the next time.
