An easy process from start to finish! Booking online was a breeze and I loved that you could book shorter stays. Our flight was delayed so we didn't make it in time to check-in in-person, which was no problem bc everything was there waiting for us when we did get there. Our condo was clean and full of extra blankets (which was great bc the weather was chilly. It was a great location and easy to stay on the Key or go up to Cortez/Bradenton or down to Sarasota. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly to hang out at the beach, but the morning trip tp the beach showed a great beach area! We had a great experience and will likely be back in the future!

Cozy Longboat Key Condo

My stay at Beach Castle Resort #26 was cozy and perfect for me. I enjoyed the sunrise and bay view from the screened in deck each morning, and short walk across the street to the beach and sunsets each day/evening. The condo was clean and well maintained. I enjoyed the guest membership at Cedars resort, and rode a bike each day. The only negative thing was that the screen was missing from the bedroom window, so I wasn't able to keep the window open. This should be replaced. Besides that, my stay was perfect!

The office was very professional upon check-in and we had no issues and only had a great time while there. The unit is very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and very equipped with utensils, soap, rags, pots and pans, bowls big and small, a blender, toaster, coffee machine,..etc. Although the bedroom window was under construction, it was not an issue since it was behind the curtains. It was great that we had chairs and umbrellas accessible right by the beach. I think there are a couple of improvements I would recommend, it would be nice to have keyless entry to the unit and an upgrade to the grilling area. The grilling area is a tight space with very little shade for groups. Last but not least, bring extra TP, we were only there for 3 nights and a small family but the one TP roll provided is a mini roll and runs out quick. Overall, very pleasant stay and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Booked again next year!

This was our first time staying at the Beach Castle Resort and we had a wonderful and relaxing time. The location was quiet but still close to areas that we like to go. The unit was clean and perfect for the two of us. Loved the screened in porch for morning coffee and views of the bay. Definitely would love to come back!

This unit is so nice! It’s overlooking the bay and it made so much difference for us. We could see the sunrise from our bed every day and take the kids to the deck to fish early morning and late afternoon. It’s the second time we stayed at castle beach resort, and can’t wait to go back!

Great time!

We had a wonderful trip to Longboat Key, and we greatly enjoyed the Beach Castle Resort. We enjoyed our view of the bay from our unit, #26. The pool and the hot tub were great. The beach was only a very short walk away, and it was great that beach chairs were provided. It was convenient to have complimentary laundry facilities on site, as well as a grill. Thank you for a great week!

Pretty Property from Bay to Beach

The Beach Castle Resort is darling. It is a small pretty property that has everything you need to relax in a quiet and peaceful setting. Once you park your car, you can walk to the beach, pool, tennis, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you prefer to cook, #26 has a great little kitchen to prepare simple meals and dine al fresco on the screened in patio while watching the yachts cruise by on Sarasota Bay. #26 was CLEAN and casual - just what we wanted at the beach. If you feel a bit more adventurous, check out bicycles from the Cedars Tennis Club and ride the few easy miles towards Ana Maria to discover more powdery sand beaches and restaurants right on the water. Finally, pack light - beach towels, umbrellas, and lounge chairs are provided.

Like a successful Mars Rover landing!

Definitely enjoyed the view of the bay and the close proximity to the gulf beach. Our unit was very comfortable however upon check in, there were dirty fingerprints on the kitchen cabinets as well as fresh grease spots all over stove, microwave and wall. They wiped off easily with bleach wipes. I was expecting cleaner than that.
