Beach Castle Resort

Featured Amenities

Relax in this privately owned and “coastal themed” ground floor condo that sleeps 4 with bay views from the privacy of your screened lanai, the living room and bedroom! The one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo includes a full-size kitchen with granite counters, fully equipped kitchen w/ice maker, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, cookware, dishes and utensils, a Serta Sleeptrue king mattress, an upgraded memory foam queen mattress on sleeper sofa, new lighting and furnishings. For entertainment - games and books are also provided, as well as smart TVs with ROKU and cable, complimentary WIFI – never compromising the comforts of home. Complimentary laundry facilities, beach chairs/umbrellas, linens/beach towels, cooler for the beach, parking and a fabulous pool and hot tub are all included.

Beach Castle community is located on one of the narrowest points on Longboat Key and spans from the Bay Side to the Gulf Side. All within walking distance to relax on the dock to read a book, cast a fishing line and watch the sunrise or you may even see the Manatees, or enjoy the Gulf side beach for shell collecting, relaxing and catch the sunset. We provide a bayside fishing dock and most importantly, direct and private access to our beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters. Longboat Key’s beaches are the perfect place to collect shells, relax in the warm water or view a picture-perfect sunset.

This secluded hideaway exudes a classic charm that, as vacationers, we yearn for. The grounds are impeccable with lush landscaping, buildings the color of sunshine and accented by Bahama shutters and railings that resemble palm trees. 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.

Located a short distance from nearby attractions, our community is within walking distance to Centre Shops which includes three restaurants and an ice cream shop.

Whatever your vacation desire – Beach Castle will be a location you will want to return to year-after-year.

We were fortunate to have rented this lovely unit only 3 months after the destructive Hurricane that hit LBK . It was extremely clean and comfortable. We met the gracious owner while he was mulching and planting flowers and sprucing up the yard.

The owners of this unit created the perfect vacation home. The unit was clean and comfortable. Everything you could need was provided. Towels for the beach, a cooler, a bag to collect shells, games, and books to read. Starter cleaning supplies, luxurious shampoo and soap. A kitchen with all the pots and pans needed to cook a meal. And the view from the screened in porch of the bay and sunrise was spectacular. The white sand beaches, clear water and sunsets were wonderful. The pool and hot tub were also enjoyable. In addition to those amenities we had a pass to use the tennis club facilities during our stay. I highly recommend this particular unit as this is the best one we have stayed in at the Beach Castle resort.

Excellent spot for short or long term stay. Short walk across the street to the private beach area and short driving distance to other public access spots. Loved the decor of our unit, the view from the lenai, the kitchen accessories, and the bed was so comfortable. The pool and spa were well kept as well, just not a super relaxed environment. This spot had pretty much everything we needed for our couples getaway for a weeklong stay.

Beach Castle condo # 23 Can’t wait to go back! The unit was clean and is equipped with everything you need for you stay. The view on the back Lanai is perfect. Very unique, watch the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening all from the same resort property. The beach has chairs on the beach for you and umbrellas are complementary. No lugging of things to the beach. Restaurants within walking distance is another plus. Can’t wait to go back.

Such a super clean condo in a very quiet location on the bayside. Patio is beautiful and peaceful looking at the bay. The bunnies were out morning/night, visible from the patio, living room and bedroom. Quiet dock you can walk out on to fish or just sit and watch the birds and jumping fish. Check in/out was a breeze. We didn’t get to try the pool due to the weather but did stop by to check the water temp and found it warm. Super nice lounge chairs located on the beach across the street at the end of the pathway. Thai was a short stay for us and we would definitely return.

This was a cozy 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom condo with a great bay view from the living room and bedroom. Steps away from a small fishing dock (must bring your own fishing gear) and about a 100 to 150 yards to Longboat Key Beach. Resort offers lounge chairs and umbrellas for use on the beach. They also have a great pool and hot tub area with nice clean restrooms. The unit didn’t have its own washer and dryer; however, they do have complimentary washer and dryers a short walk from the condo. Great stay and look forward to visiting again.

Thank you for the comments and stars, you were wonderful guests.
