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.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th year at Beach Castle Resort and our 3rd year staying in condo #4\. The view and location are fantastic, but #4 is worn out and needs freshening up. Dishes were grimy and we had to wash everything before using them. For the past three years, the same 3 vinyl placemats have been provided for use on the tables that seat 4\. The linens are old and the furniture is stained. The screens in the lanai need cleaning. The whole place needs a deep cleaning and painting. And the price continues to increase. We have made reservations for next year at a cleaner, better-maintained, and less expensive property further down the beach. ##### Nancy W.

May 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect We loved Beach Castle! We stayed in Unit 4 which has breathtaking views and amazing sunsets. The condo was very clean and well appointed. We spent some days lounging on the beach. One afternoon trip to Siesta Key, an evening trip to St. Armands Circle for shopping and dinner, and a very long bike ride to Anna Marie Island. Some evenings we relaxed in the heated pool and hot tub.. Longboat was never overcrowded and a perfect central location for us. Beach Castle is very nicely located with only a short walk to the Lazy Lobster and Tyler's Homemade Ice Cream. We will definitely be back! ##### Dan Y.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As always, we enjoyed our stay at Beach Castle. There were some nice updates to unit #4 and we hope that there is more to come as the kitchen needs updating. Sean was excellent and deserves a lot of accolades. We appreciate that RVA took it upon themselves to clean up the beach of dead fish from the Red Tide. We are highly disappointed that the Town of Longboat Key or whoever is rsponsible dropped the ball on that subject. ##### Ernest C.

Reviewer Comments: For my husband and I this was a perfect little spot. We stayed in an adorable unit with a lovely view of the beach and water. I am an artist so have come away with lots of inspiration to paint over the winter months. If you enjoy shelling there are plenty on the beach to pick and choose from. This property won’t disappoint, it is a peaceful, beautiful location. We did have one issue that eventually got rectified a bit unsettling at first, we could not lock our sliding doors. Even so the word that best describes Beach Castle is delightful — enjoy. ##### Erica D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Rhonda H.

Beach Castle has always been our "go to", however, it is in need of some TLC and a thorough cleaning.Interior of unit was okay but garbage disposal & toaster didn't work. No room in kitchen cabinets for groceries. Patio and floors had to be scrubbed as they were filthy. We had similar issues with another unit last year. It wouldn't take much to step up the game.Exterior really needs a good power washing and hallways need cleaning and decent lighting.Pool area was wonderful. Clean and nicely furnished. The location can't be beat but needs to be respected and well maintained to justify the prices that are being charged. ##### Rhonda H.
