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.

The walks to the bay and Gulf were shorter than we anticipated (bonus: a couple of restaurants are a short walk away, too). Sunrise over the bay just a few steps from our unit, and sunsets over the Gulf just across the street. The unit itself was clean, comfortable, with plenty of space. And the pool area is very well maintained. Overall, it's exactly what we wanted from our Longboat Key getaway.

We enjoyed our stay at beach castle, they had most everything you’d need for a beach outing, Towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. The condo is situated between the bay and beach, and walking was easy to both. We went with our adult kids and grandchildren and we enjoyed our stay very much! Would recommend and we will be back!
Had good linens, space and equipment in the kitchen, membership to cedars east for tennis, 25 yd swimming pool and good workout room

The place is really cute and I loved the location. The price was affordable and the resort had a lot of amenities. The beds could be a little softer (I'm not used to firm beds) but it was sleepable. I'd definitely stay here again!

Thanks for vacationing with us! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
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 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.
Great location. Bay to beach access. Nice swimming pool area. Comfortable size 2 bed/2bath. Would rent 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!

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.

Thank you for the comments and stars, we loved hosting you!
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.
Great location, ammenities and quiet too. So relaxing! The condo we stayed in was so light and bright and had everything you would need! It was decorated so cute too! Would highly recommend unit 22!

Quaint condo that was perfect for family of 4. Sit on the bay dock or swim in blue ocean at private beach. We will be back as these quiet, retro locations are becoming rare.
