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.

Mar 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect except for the beds and pillows I have enjoyed staying at the beach castle numerous times. This particular unit needs a few updates particularly to the beds. The mattresses feel like they’re from the 1980s and the pillows were so large and hard that I filled the pillowcase with my socks and underwear and used that instead so I could sleep. If you get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, the mattress creeks in a way I haven’t heard since my childhood. M with the exception of the beds, it’s a lovely place and I would highly recommend it. Maybe bring your own pillow if you come. ##### Paul M.

Loved the screened in porch that is nestled up against palm trees and other tropical vegetation that rustle in the gulf breeze. It was so tranquil and relaxing. The beautiful gulf beach is a short walk. The pool was heated, nice. The manager was very pleasant. We checked in and checked out after hours, and all went smoothly. We ate out for every meal, so I can’t comment about how well the kitchen was stocked. I wouldn’t call this a luxurious or bougie place, but that’s what we loved about it. It has a very laid-back, Florida key vibe. The pictures posted are accurate.We were very comfortable here, and would stay again! ##### Karen S.

Relaxing atmosphere. Con: Wish issue with the DVD player had been resolved. Never did get a working player in the unit. Our unit #22 has loud air conditioner. Woke up 3 out of 4 guests staying in the unit. Maybe not a problem if you are a heavy sleeper. Suggestions: Add lawn chairs on grassy area on the Sarasota Bay side of the property. It has a beautiful view and not utilized . Would recommend placemats in out unit ##### janet b.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Arrived on Fri after office closed but very easy to get rental package with keys. Unit nice and orderly. Some lights and AC were on to make it inviting. Very quiet in the unit. Walk across the road to beach is short but road is busy. Unit has upgraded appliances and plenty of kitchenware. Beds comfortable. Cleaning could be a tad better and need to change shower liner in main bathroom- mold noted. AC old and noisy but works for now. Would have been nice not to have someone washing walkways in building on a Saturday morning- water does spray in to the unit. Also would have been nice to get appropriate information as to where to park extra vehicles. We had 3 cars at any one time and it is a bit silly to have to run back and forth quite a distance to get someone's car. The unit was for 6 people so more than 1 car is expected. ##### Les B.

Oct 16, 2024 #### Excellent location Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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: We enjoyed our stay in the well equipped apartment. The description was accurate, in fact better than we expected. The unit was very clean on arrival, however the balcony was very dirty and we had to clear the floor ourselves. We enjoyed several nearby restaurants. The manager was hopeless. There was a mandatory evacuation during our stay due to a hurricane. No one from RVA informed us that we had to leave, even though the front desk was managed. We are from the UK so not accustomed to what has to happen in these cases. We only found out about it by asking a waitress in a restaurant. I was, and continue to be, quite shocked at RVA's complacency. The management need to review their policies. ##### eunice r.
