This was an awesome vacation for me and a friend of mine. Thought it was a two bedroom on the Website, was only a one bedroom. It worked out great though, Next time I will definitely get a two bedroom. There was plenty of room. The place was very clean and spacious so many things to do and so many things to seeAnd very private . Would definitely recommend this.

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!

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.

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!!~

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!
