Me and my friend stayed for three nights at the Beach Castle. The resort is well located in Longboat Key, close to Anna Maria and St. Armands. The condo was clean and newly updated. The management company timely responded to any inquiries. Coffee and snacks were a nice touch. We stayed during a cold spell and had some trouble adjusting the thermostat, but they warmed up the place for us. Master bath seemed to run out of hot water; not sure how that would work with more than 2 guests here. Did get some use out of the hot tub! Thank you; we would certainly stay again or refer to our friends.

Our Happy Place

I have been going to LBK and the Beach Castle for 40 years. My daughters always called it our “happy place.” Now my son-in-laws and grand babies have joined us. Staying at the Beach Castle is easy and the perfect location with bay and beach access. Our unit was updated and had all the kitchen accessories we needed. Providing beach towels and access to free laundry services is always a plus! See you next year!!
