Longboat Key, Florida
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.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We called the day before to see if we could check in an hour early since we looked online and saw it was vacant. We were told it would be ok but when we got there the office was closed. We called RVA and they contacted the manager who was in the process of getting the condo ready. He was not aware of the early check in. One thing to note..they charge a fee of $50 for damage that is not refundable; even if you don’t do damage...just another way to increase the rental rate. Also, this unit #24 needs to replace the microwave; rust inside. Also, there were dead roaches on the floor when we got there which should have been cleaned up ahead of time...at least they were dead!
Property manager changed outdoor lightbulb within minutes of being told about it
We love longboat key and there are so many wonderful places to stay. The beach castle was no different. Clean, beautiful bay view, and close to everything you could possibly want on longboat key.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 2nd floor condo is a little older but was clean and fresh upon arrival. You do have steps to climb but it is just one floor up. Slight view of Bay Area which was pretty. Walk across the street to beach access which on Longboat Key is critical since they have such limited public access. Nice balcony- just too hot to use it.
Our trip was a quick little vacation and Beach Castle was a nice and quiet getaway. We loved the private beach and the fact that there were plenty of beach chairs for our use but unfortunately, there were not enough umbrellas. We noticed someone in a past review mentioned mold in the condo but no one had mentioned smelling mold since that time. When we first got to the condo you were hit with a smell of mold at the front door but as you moved to the bedroom, the smell went away. We could only smell the mold in the front entrance and the living room/kitchen area. The longer you stayed in the unit, the less you could smell it. The unit is cleaned by Merry Maid’s but RVA should probably watch them closer, we noticed tags (from a garment purchased) from a previous guest under the bed. It would have been also nice to have more beach towels, we were given 2 beach towels but had 4 people in our party. We were also given no washcloths. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would like to stay at Beach Castle again but in a different unit.
The unit was tidy and clean equipped with all the necessary appliances and utensils needed whether for a long weekend or months-long visit. Property has both bay and beach access to beautiful white sand of the Gulf of Mexico.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have vacationed at Beach Castle numerous times and have stayed in various units both Beach side and bay side. The accommodations are always excellent. RVA managed a condominium complex where I previously owned a condo and did a first class job.
