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.

Well stocked kitchen and linens, and “starter kit” for paper products was generous. Pool and hot tub area well maintained and clean. Manager answered my questions promptly and politely even though my questions were probably answered in their welcome emails. We were disappointed the dock was under repair, thankfully we were able to cancel a boat rental. Only wish list items would be a stronger dishwasher (left a little residue) and a door off the lanai to get outdoors/to the beach. Would stay there again! ##### P S.

My husband & I had a wonderful time! The location was ideal, the property and amenities were great! Right on the beach with beach chairs in place for guests. The unit was well stocked with everything we could possibly need! My only complaint is that the clothes dryer didn’t dry our clothes. Was not a big deal because we were only there a short time & only washed one load of laundry. (I forgot to report to management, so I can’t say anything about their response.) ##### Trish T.

Sue made check in a breeze and was super friendly and accommodating (thanks Sue)! You also cannot beat being right on the beach and all the amenities provided (beach chairs, towels, sand toys, bogey boards, and umbrellas! However, unit 5 was dirty (a dead cockroach in the closet, moldy shower curtain, and stains on the couch). Each unit is individually owned, so we plan to rent another unit next year. We would stay at number 5 if they did a deep clean, got rid of the dirty items, and an exterminator. ##### Erin B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Dawn C. Feb 23, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Unit 5! Great view from Lanai! We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. It was worth paying a little more per night to be on he beach side. There was a great view of the Gulf from the Lanai-That wasn’t advertised, but should be. Coffee sitting out there was super relaxing! The bedrooms were great sizes. The entire unit was very spacious! They have coolers, which is helpful. My kids appreciated Roku TV and the Xbox. The beds were so comfortable! The beach is footsteps away! Literally, take your towel and get on the beach! It’s absolutely beautiful! A couple of things (and I feel these are directed more to the property management/house cleaning staff-not the condo owners) provide more than 2 trash bags in the kitchen. The lock to enter the unit needs to be repaired, it was a process to get in every time we came back. The couch is very stained. Needs a good steam cleaning, or update. The unit wasn’t super clean. A lot of the dishes were still dirty, top of the fridge , food crumbs on the table out in the lanai, etc. bathrooms were cleaned well, though. Provide baking sheets. ##### Dawn C.

Mar 15, 2022 #### Great Vacation spot 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: Love, love the Beach Castle Inn. We have been coming there for the last 7 years. We enjoy the location, private and quiet beach, great amenities, units are well equipped and clean. Ted, the mgr is great. Realize everything is more expensive these days, however with the new price increase we will be looking for a different place to stay next year. ##### Michelle F. F.

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: We were very happy with this condo. It was very well stocked in the kitchen, many towels for bathroom and the beach,along with items to help keep everything clean. The condo was very clean and had books, games and puzzles to pass the time when it was raining and cold out. The patio area was nice and private but still had the beautiful view so you didn't miss a thing. We always enjoy our stay at beach castle. The staff is always helpful and friendly. ##### Brad W.

Jan 12, 2022 #### Relatively good location to the beach, older style resort/format Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place itself was decent. Location is great if you want to be on the beach and in the middle part of LBK. There is some updating that needs to be done within the unit and the beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. The shower curtain was disgusting, dark spots and moldy. The other shower had no shower head and overall was old and dirty. Resort staff were very nice. If you are looking for a low key old school type of resort then this place fits the bill. ##### Richard H.

Sep 22, 2021 #### So Sorry it has gone down after all these years Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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: I have been staying at the Beach Castle since the early 70's. I would never go back. I was so disappointed in the upkeep and cleanliness of the whole property. I spent the first day cleaning and waiting on maintenance to fix the locks on the doors so we could feel safe to leave. I felt we should not have to pay to stay the first day since I did the cleaning. The kitchen chairs which had been there in the past when we stayed had caked food all on them which I cleaned. The shower had mold on the handles and walls which I cleaned. None of the ceiling lights worked and they worked until after 5 fixing one sliding glass door lock and I didn't even tell them when I realized the other did not work either. I didn't want to loose another day at the beach. There were ants all on the beach (probably from the dead fish from red tide before) and my car was full of ants when I went home. ##### Jeni R.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 have been visiting Beach Castle for 25 years, and my wife's family has been coming here for 46 years. The rooms were as comfortable as ever, and the unit was nicely updated and very comfortable. The exterior looked well maintained - however there were some messy and loud neighbors - several large families using multiple units. They tended to not be as aware that there were other guests - but this was the only time that this has occurred in all of the years that we have been visiting. The location is perfectly positioned to enjoy the Beach and Bay. On the Bay side - the dock was not as well maintained as other years though. Boat renatals from Cannon's Marina are a great way to enjoy the water. You can even pull up to the Beach castle Dock to load your gear and family! Oma's Pizza delivers delicious Pizza - even the Fried Calmari arrives hot and tasty! St. Armands Circle was as busy as ever!We have always looked forward to our visits, and we cannot wait to go back! ##### Nicholas M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane B., Winterset Jun 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Location Super clean and quiet location. The only drawback was the swimming pool was hot water not refreshing !!! Other than that I couldn’t recommend this place more!! ##### Diane B.
