Our anniversary vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is beautiful. Very clean n honestly everything you need is furnished. It is quiet n the Gulf of America is just breathtaking. The only downfall is not a lot of restaurants in area that are crazy high prices. We got groceries and most cooked in. The screened in patio was very nice. Saw raccoons several times. We visited the new aquarium which is very nice. We thank you for your hospitality and sharing your condo with us. Loved that it was on first floor. Sincerely The Cuffs from pa

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was exactly as described with beautiful views of the bay from the screened patio and a short walk to the beach. Having beach chairs and umbrellas available was great. The property and the condo were very clean and well furnished.

A lovely, well-maintained unit in a great locaton

This was our 2nd stay in Longboat Key and this place exceeded our expectations. The unit is in great shape and has everything we could possibly need. Attenton to details is obvious. The location is great; a few yards away from the ocean; breathtaking sunrises! We will look for this place again next year!

Fabulous location - beach & bay

We loved the location of this property - less than 5 min walk to semi-private beach, bay dock 2 min. walk, restaurant and ice cream shop 1 block away! Condo was clean, well furnished, and stocked with dishes, beach towels, a few beach toys, cooler, even an extra beach bag. Pool was clean and never busy (though water temp was hot in July). Beach was clean, lounge chairs and umbrellas always available, and ocean calm for floating some days and small waves for boogie boarding other days. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Condo in a Peaceful Location

The Beach Castle resort in general has that “old Florida” feel. It brought me back to me childhood vacationing in Florida. Beautiful landscape, lovely pool and great access to a very quiet beach. Our unit was newly updated with tasteful beach decor and with every necessity you could think of for a comfortable beach vacation. Comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, peaceful screened in patio overlooking the bay, a cooler/beach bags/beach towels/sandy toys for the beach. We would love to return in the future!

Paradise

Our experience at this property couldn’t have been better. This space truly felt like home and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy all that this unit had to offer. It was tucked away from the chaos of spring breakers perfectly. Close enough to everything, but also far enough away. The unit had everything we needed and more. The lanai was the perfect place to begin and end each day, and the sunsets at the private beach truly can’t be beat. We would visit again in a heartbeat.

Cozy Condo

This was a cozy 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom condo with a great bay view from the living room and bedroom. Steps away from a small fishing dock (must bring your own fishing gear) and about a 100 to 150 yards to Longboat Key Beach. Resort offers lounge chairs and umbrellas for use on the beach. They also have a great pool and hot tub area with nice clean restrooms. The unit didn’t have its own washer and dryer; however, they do have complimentary washer and dryers a short walk from the condo. Great stay and look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful LBK Stay

Had a fabulous time celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary! This condo was perfect for a couple- cute, clean. Wonderful bay view, we enjoyed sunrises and dolphins on the bay side and gorgeous sunsets and beach walks in the gulf side. This property was perfect, excellent hot tub and pool amenities, super clean! This condo was perfectly appointed, fabulous kitchen with everything you could think of for cooking in - the grills outside a plus too. We were also thankful for the complimentary laundry facilities. We have been coming to Longboat for many years and had never stayed at this property before and we loved it so much we’ve already booked for next year. Thanks to the owners for sharing their wonderful beach condo.

Fun Time in a Fun Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I spent three weeks in Unit #23 which was excellent. The owners of the unit pay close attention to detail and are so nice to deal with. We the rented two units in the fourth week, as out kids were joining us. Unit #4 is well-situated but needs major updating (kitchen, baths, furniture, utensils). Unit #5, where some of our kids and grands stayed turned out to be excellent. It was large, well appointed and updated.
