Beach Castle Resort

Featured Amenities

Compliments of RVA, Beach Castle Resort expands from the bayside of Longboat Key to the Gulf – providing a place to launch your kayak and cast a line, a chance to spot exotic birds that stop here for our mild temperatures and to view a picture-perfect sunset over the Gulf of Mexico -- all courtesy of Mother Nature.

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.

Limited Membership Privileges: Guests of Beach Castle Resort #12 will have the option of temporary membership privileges at Cedars Tennis Resort located at 645 Cedars Court on Longboat Key. The limited temporary membership allows the guest access to fully-lit Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts (after 1 p.m. daily and subject to availability), community bicycles, fishing pier and Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool. The guest will also have access to the community fitness center.

Accommodations: Beach Castle Resort is a quiet, 21-unit condominium resort midway on the exclusive island of Longboat Key with a variety of views including Gulf front, Bay front, pool and garden views.

Unit #12 Features: Two-bedroom, two-bathroom second floor unit located on the bay side centrally located within steps from the community pool and laundry facilities for our guests convenience. Decorated in light, bright furnishings with classic Florida charm including tray ceilings and lots of windows for the Florida sunshine to come pouring through. Unit #12 is a favorite pick among returning guests and traveling families for numerous reasons. First, for it's close proximity to the community pool. Secondly, its the closest of the bay side units to the community beach access. And lastly, it offers additional bedding for those traveling in groups or families.

Just what we needed!

We were able to gather at Beach Castle Resort with my entire family, it was ideal for us to each have our own condo - our family of 4 enjoyed #12 very much. The new kitchen is beautiful and the condo was well stocked. We loved this quieter stretch of the island and enjoyed ice cream next door from Tyler's more than once :)

Perfect place!

Wonderful Family Experience

We had a lovely time renting Condo #12. It was a great fit for our family of 6 and the amenities were family friendly. It was wonderful to find that the owners had stocked the condo with family friendliness in mind. The puzzles, games, unbreakable dishes, pool toys, etc. made the experience so much less stressful. I feel like they thought of everything from tape/pens in a spare drawer to plastic storage containers for conveniently storing leftovers. The new carpet and other upgrades that have been made created a beautiful and relaxing environment.

Our family had a wonderful stay in Unit 12 and we are already trying to figure out when we can go back! It is beautifully decorated, well appointed, and everything was in updated, clean, and working condition. We had no issues at all (once we figured out the key - bottom lock, turn all the way and then push) and loved the kid friendly extras including coloring books, books, games, and a few water toys. The kitchen was loaded with plenty of table service, cookware, and appliances. You can tell the new owners are attentive to detail and have done a great job revamping this unit. The grounds are beautifully kept and the staff was kind and courteous. We loved being able to walk to the beach and peek in at the pool to make sure our kids' splashing wouldn't bother others - we had it to ourselves most of the time which was lovely! Our only complaint is that our stay was too short! Highly recommend - 5 stars!

We loved our stay at Beach Castle Resort. The complex extends from the bay to the beach. Our unit (#12) had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The pool/hot tub area was fantastic.

Our Vacation Rental at the Beach Castle Resort was incredibly memorable in many ways. The #12 apartment unit was very spacious and clean. It had all the basic amenities that we needed for our trip. The access to the resort exclusive private beach was a short 2 min walk. The resort also provided complimentary beach umbrellas and chairs. We will surely reconsider coming back for yet another trip to longboat Key.

Nice unit with everything we needed in the kitchen and lot of towels. <br/>Great location in the middle of the island - close to both St. Armands and Bradenton Beach. Nice private beach for Beach Castle renters with beach chairs and umbrellas. <br/>Responsive management and well maintained.<br/>We did have a problem with the A/C. I contacted RVA after hours and they had a repairman on the premises within 90 minutes. A/C was fixed within 30 minutes.

The accomodations were nice and clean. Could have added a spare roll of toilet paper. <br/>Biggest problem was that the hot tub was colder than the pool. We reported it the first day and it was never fixed. Office person just kept promising it would be tomorrow every day.

Wonderful Holiday Weekend with my Family!

We enjoyed our stay at the Beach Castle Resort because it offered the convenience of a big family group staying together at a very affordable cost. There were accommodations for all and plenty of space for the teenagers to hang out together or simply play with their digital devices with the free WIFI connections. The beach was perfect! Not crowded at all--we had our own family space right in front of the beach and with lounge chairs, towels, and umbrellas included and easily found by the beach. The water was warm and clean of seaweed. We saw dolphins swimming by and found many beautiful shells by the seashore. The ambiance was totally family-friendly. The pool was kept nice and warm. Everything was very clean inside and out. Masks were worn by the service crew and at the front desk all precautions were being taken. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with all the utensils we needed to cook in every day. Overall we are extremely satisfied with our stay and are planning to go back there for the Labor Day Weekend in September!
