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.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I spent 5 nights and had the best time. Everything was very clean and tidy and had plenty of basic necessities for the week. Location was fantastic and the beach access is steps away and so beautiful! ##### Katie S.

Dec 30, 2024 #### Amazing lodging and location - perfect 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: The home was spotlessly clean and well appointed. It didn’t feel like a rental. It felt like we were in a well-loved luxurious home. The beach and dock on the bay were perfect for walking, relaxing and fishing. We wish it were a little more affordable. We splurged as this was last minute as our cruise plans canceled. We usually plan things in advance and would love to come back, but at $500 for one night with the cleaning fee it would be out of our reach financially. We loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Longboat Key is so quiet and beautiful. It might not be ideal for those seeking to party or nightlife, but for us it was just perfect. Thank you. ##### Catherine S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa K. Sep 5, 2023 #### We love Beach Castle! Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: I've been visiting Beach Castle over 20 years. This was our first stay in unit 3\. I was pleased to have a view of the water, being on the lower level. The unit could've stood a good cleaning. Sheets were sandy upon arrival, a used bandaid stuck to the bedroom mirror, dusty furniture, sandy countertops, and tables in the livingroom. This is the second time we've stayed (last was in 2021) that the shower curtain liner could've used replacing. I don't like the idea of a bathroom rug outside of the shower, I'd rather have a towel to lay down. The toliet is loose from the floor.The patio doors could stand to be replaced. very hard to open, as if they're not on track. There's also a cut in the screen in the lanai, so we got pretty bit up.We did survive hurricane Idalia in unit 3, though we were under a mandatory evacuation. We were trying to see if we'd get our money back, if we left given the mandatory evacuation, but no such luck. Happy we ended up staying, scary as it was. Luckily we never lost power! ##### Melissa K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel B. Jun 25, 2024 #### A Wonderful Trip to Longboat Key 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: The family stay here was perfect. Everything we needed was provided. There are plenty of chairs and umbrellas, so don't bring any like I did. Everything was clean, we used the gas grill several times. The only bad thing we found was the swimming pool is small and the water was hot, but Beach Castle gave us a pass to the Tennis club 3 minutes away and they have an Olympic size pool that was very nice. All the guests were friendly, you start to meet on the beach. I would advise not to park under the trees, our car was full of ants from them falling out of the trees when the wind blew. We will defiantly stay here every time we come if there is a unit available. Randy at the office was very helpful every time we called with questions. Fishing was good of the dock. There is also a washer and dryer free in the building. That was a plus for us. ##### Daniel B.

Dec 7, 2023 #### Great Location Not so Great Unit Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fantastic, it was steps to beach however, the unit was sub par for the price. Broken sliders, broken toilet, terribly uncomfortable beds and pillows. Dirty shower curtain in bathroom, kitchen although it looked updated was stocked with old and mismatched things like flatware glassware and older, low end appliances. Whole unit needs an update and refresh! Wanted to enjoy being in the unit but just put a damper on the trip. The Beach Castle resort was lovely as always but we will surely choose a different unit next time. ##### Jennifer S.

It was super clean, very well supplied with both beach equipment and kitchen supplies. It was as described and literally on the beach. Our first time in Long Boat Key but will definitely be returning. ##### Harold W.

Reviewer Comments: Good experience, family place, good memories created in this place. The day of departure at 9am housekeeping was trying to get in without knocking on the door and we had until 11am to check out. Other than that, a very good place to be with the family and super close to the beach. ##### Mayritza M.

It is clean and proximity to the beach is great. We were a little disappointed bc the keurig didn’t work (kept overflowing) and not all the pots/pans had lids.

They provided chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and a starter kit of dishwashing soap, trash bags, etc. The view was still amazing being on the lower floor. We also loved being able to walk on the pier across the street! We got to see a momma and baby manatee. We had a wonderful time! ##### Emily H.

Feb 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location Choice Overall we were very pleased. A bit smaller than we expected, as the dining room is the screened porch, and the laundry room is not in the unit but shared by at least four units. The location puts you within easy walking distance of a half dozen really good restaurants. The private beach is nice, with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas if needed. Wonderful spot. Only suggestions we would make would be to upgrade the barstools, as they had no cushoning and you felt like you were sitting on a wood frame. Very uncomfortable. We want to stay longer next year and hope we can make that happen. ##### Jim R.
