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 atBeach 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 lanai – 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 #4 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.



Beach Castle #4 boasts some of the best ocean views on the island from the living area and private bedrooms. We welcome you to relax on your private screened patio and awaken your senses in the balmy, salty breeze and the sounds of the waves lapping against the shore. We guarantee this will be your favorite spot for your morning brew. From your private lanai, take the spiral staircase directly to the soft sands of Longboat Key for a romantic stroll or spend the day sun bathing. This unit provides all the amenities you expect from a Longboat Key vacation.



#4 Features: This 2nd story 2bd/2ba beach unit with spectacular beach views offers updated amenities including kitchen granite countertops, tile floors throughout, renovated bathrooms, and private patio overlooking the Gulf. The master bathroom features spa-like amenities for a luxurious feel. You'll enjoy the LCD flat-screen TV's in both the living room and master bedroom.

    The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. We visited this rental for the 4th year. The unit is well maintained and comfortable. Second floor unit is a great place to watch the Gulf on cooler days. The beach is less than 50 steps away and the beach is often not crowded. LBK has terrific restaurants to several within walking distance. Only suggestion is that the mattresses may need to be replaced because they sag a bit. We'll be back!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Beach Castle is always a “look forward to vacation”! I grew up vacationing there with my family since 1974. Unit #4 was my family’s favorite! Of course it’s been updated since then! My husband and I had the best time! The comfort and convenience to everything and especially the gorgeous beach! Nothing compares! Thank you so much for another wonderful vacation week! We will most definitely be returning!

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th year at Beach Castle Resort and our 3rd year staying in condo #4. The view and location are fantastic, but #4 is worn out and needs freshening up. Dishes were grimy and we had to wash everything before using them. For the past three years, the same 3 vinyl placemats have been provided for use on the tables that seat 4. The linens are old and the furniture is stained. The screens in the lanai need cleaning. The whole place needs a deep cleaning and painting. And the price continues to increase. We have made reservations for next year at a cleaner, better-maintained, and less expensive property further down the beach.
