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 #24 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 #24 Features: One-bedroom, one-bathroom unit on the bay side boasts amazing bay views, new furnishings and beach-style decorations. The unit has recently been updated to include new furnishings in the living room and bedroom (along with a new king-sized mattress) and new appliances in the kitchen. Enjoy many modern amenities while relaxing in paradise including wireless Internet access, keyless entry and flat-screen TV's. Spacious and cozy, Unit #24 has all the ingredients for your romantic or family excursion!

We rented this property to stay in while attending a wedding on LBK. The location was perfect for us. It was located near family and friends and within walking distance of great restaurants, stores, bike rentals, etc. The owner provided us with a temporary pass to Cedar's Tennis Resort and Club which we, unfortunately, were unable to use but wished we had the chance as the facilities and restaurant looked great. The management was responsive when needed. The grounds were lovely. Our lanai had a wonderful view of the bay. The beach on the gulf side is within easy walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

We would recommend this property to others. It is walking distance to the beach and Lazy Lobster restaurant. It also has a path to the bay, where we watched sunrise. At first, I was concerned about the comfort of the pull-out couch for our son, but he said it was surprisingly comfortable. The manager replaced the outdoor light within a few minutes of our request. We would stay here again!

This was my 3rd stay at Beach Castle #24, and it is one of my favorite places on Earth! It's clean, comfortable, quiet, with gorgeous views. It has access to a private beach, pool, hot tub,pier, and tennis courts. Shopping, dining, and state park are all within an easy walk. I highly recommend it, and can't wait to go back!

The 2nd floor condo is a little older but was clean and fresh upon arrival. You do have steps to climb but it is just one floor up. Slight view of Bay Area which was pretty. Walk across the street to beach access which on Longboat Key is critical since they have such limited public access. Nice balcony- just too hot to use it.

This was my third stay at Beach Castle #24, and I can easily say it is one of my favorite places in the world! It is so beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The unit is comfortable and clean, with an excellent view of the bay. It has access to beautiful private beach, swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis court. Within walking distance of dining and state park. A true gem!!

We have vacationed at Beach Castle numerous times and have stayed in various units both Beach side and bay side. The accommodations are always excellent. RVA managed a condominium complex where I previously owned a condo and did a first class job.

The condo had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location was great with the best of both worlds, the bay on one side to kayak and fish, and the gulf on the other side for fun on the beach. Parking is TIGHT but that is really the only downfall. The pool and hot tub were clean and lots of fun when we took a break from the beach. We will be back!

Our first time staying at this resort and the location was "awesome"! We could walk to the boat dock on the bay within 3 minutes or walk across the street to the beach in 5 minutes and sit in one of the resort provided chairs on the beach or collect shells! Pool and hot tub area were nice - condo unit was clean and well kept.

Beautiful Clean condo up 14 steps from your dedicated parking spot. View of Bay from living room & bedroom is nice! Screened porch is nice size with 4 chairs & 2 side tables. Couch & 2 recliners in the LR are perfect. Small dining table with 4 chairs is nice. Kitchen is small but complete with full size appliances. Extra linens are a plus. Bedroom nice size with double closet. Bathroom is divided with the large counter & single sink adjoining the bedroom. Tub/shower & toilet are in a tiny room with 2 doors. Worked well for us but large size individuals would be challenged! Keyless entry is nice, but this units is controlled by computer link that does not let code work until 4 pm check in - beware those who are told you can enter early!! We were lucky & manager was on site to let us in early. Pictures are accurate. Unit 24 is on the Bay side, walk to beach is 6 minutes, crossing the highway. Loved having chairs set up on the beach & free umbrellas too!! RVA staff were friendly & helpful. We would love to stay at Beach Castle again!!~

Great get away!

It was rather last minute, as we were delayed in our return to the Philadelphia area due to weather. We chose Beach Castle, since we have rented there i each of the last three winters and love the area. Jeff Merkel is so professional and did a great job handling our needs and getting us checked in on a Sunday. Of course, Ted Palm, Beach Castle's property manager, is the best!

This place is a GEM, so happy we found this place. We made reservations for a few nights, but after staying, we would have loved to spend more time if we had it. The area and accommodations were wonderful. There were a few eateries within walking distance that were yummy and convenient; the condo was beautifully decorated and fully equipped and clean!
