Well appointed two bedroom two bath condo steps from the beach with pool and hot tub. They were willing to accommodate our later time checkout request.

This one’s a WINNER!

The property description accurate regarding the location, layout, amenities. Spotless clean and everything was well maintained. Sean at the front office provided an effortless check-in. There were no issues so we did not have to contact anyone. The private beach was heaven, the fishing dock was great to have, we played pickleball every day, and lastly we swam in the clean and quiet pool every afternoon. You are close to the action and restaurants. We highly recommend this property! What activities, attractions and restaurants did you enjoy?

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 :)

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!

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. 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. Responsive management and well maintained. 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. 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!
