About this property
Gulfside Comfort – Beach Castle #4 by RVA
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 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.
