  Great Place To Stay

  We have been staying at the Beach Castle Resort in December and in March for the past few years. We originally found the Beach Castle Resort through RVA . The location is excellent. If you want to stay on the beach, there are condos for that. If you want to stay on Sarasota Bay, there are condos for that. Both the pool and hot tub are very nice. The Beach Castle Resort is within walking distance of the Centre Shoppes as well as the park and other places. We usually work with Ted in the Beach Castle office, and he has been so accommodating in booking the days that we need for our vacation. We are looking forward to our next vacation there.

  The Best Place to Stay on Longboat Key

  My family has been spending a week each year at the Beach Castle on LBK for more than 20 years. Our group is quite large, probably 30+ of us...and it's the perfect place for each family unit to have their own condo, but gather together in each others' condos for meals, games, and fun. Each unit has a full kitchen, so while there are many great restaurants nearby, we generally go to the local Publix to stock up for the week and cook all of our meals. The pool area is always fun, with both a pool (that is always at a pleasant temperature) and a hot tub. We stay on the bay side, so the beach is just a short walk across the street. The Beach Castle has their own private section of beach, so it's never super crowded. The sunsets are just beautiful there, and it's a different sight to see each evening. We have even been lucky enough to witness a couple of sea turtles come up on the beach to lay their eggs...which is just amazing to see! Manatee sightings are a common occurrence both on the beach side, as well as back on the bay side by the fishing dock...but it's always a magical experience. I can't say enough about how much fun we have every year at Beach Castle. It's kept us coming back for more than 20 years! Your family will love it too.

  Great Spot

  We spent 2 nights at Beach Castle Resort #24. Our very clean & stylish condo was 1 bedroom, 1 bath. Small but fully outfitted kitchen. Extra kitchen towels provided but no dish cloth, only a sponge. There was dish soap, dishwasher soap & paper towels for our use. Nice stoneware dish set. Glassware X6 in large & small sizes. Fridge was good size & they had made ice cubes already for us- that was so helpful! Dining table for 4 is adequate. Living Room is nice size with 2 recliners & a comfy couch. The screened porch is off the LR & has a wonderful view of the Bay & the resorts fishing dock.. my husband caught a few catfish from the dock, but had to be wary of all the bird droppings that pepper the railing. Bathroom is divided with single sink in bedroom area. A door separates the sink area from the tub/shower & toilet area, which is a very small tight space. Worked fine for us, but a large person may find it problematic. Nice linen closet was fully stocked with extra sheets, blankets, pillows, towels & a good assortment of books. Was missing a blow dryer. Double closet in bedroom was good space for the 2 of us. King bed was very comfortable. Love having a light on each side of the bed. Walk to Gulf beach was 6 minutes- they provide nice chairs & umbrellas. The pool is very nice with ample seating. Water temperature was just right. There is a keyless entry on this unit, but beware early arrivals- the lock is connected to computer system that will not allow entry code to work until scheduled 4pm arrivals. Was a problem for us as we were granted an early arrival time. Lauren from Beach Castle was able to get us in - so just a heads up! Complex was quiet, people considerate & friendly. The parking is VERY tight. We drive a Ford Edge & we had no problem, but those with extended vehicles barely fit in some of the spaces. Having guests visit could be a big problem!! Overall a very clean, comfortable condo for 2 people...I would definitely stay here again!!

  To say disappointed is an understatement

  To say disappointed is an understatement and the photos on their website do not come even close to representing the unit we stayed in. Sunday arrival and keys were left for us to pick up (no-one in the office). We entered our unit to be overwhelmed by the stale/musty smell. At that stage it was a little too late for us to find alternative accommodation so made the most of it by opening the windows and turning fans on. We figured the place had just not been aired out. The following morning reported issue to the office to be told that housekeeping would be informed and it would be dealt with. We never heard anything further. The bathroom was dated, you were unable to close the door due to it being swollen with water damage (photo included) and the rusted towel rail on top of it. The makeup mirror provided was so rusted you were afraid to even move it (photo included). As for the toiletries provided, the cheap soap was no thicker than a dollar bill. Silverware and cooking utensils were dirty (photo included), patio furniture rusty, blinds dated and windows dirty. We did again address this with the office to be again told it would be dealt with. The only plusses were that plenty of towels were provided; pool and beach area was nice. Would we go back, absolutely No. Was this an inexpensive condo rental No and you are charged on top of the rental fee as a separate entity, a cleaning fee. For the price being paid would at least expect some decent soap!!!

  One of the best places to stay on Longboat Key!

  Summer vacations in Longboat Key have been a family tradition for most of my life. My mother lived there for 30+ years, and my kids and I would visit her every summer. Since my mom passed away several years ago, my daughter and I have kept up the tradition of going back every summer and staying in the same area. We have tried various places, and Beach Castle Resort is one of the nicestbeautiful, comfortable, spacious rooms with lovely views, an ocean theme that I love, a nice pool and even a hot tub, and land at a private beach in one of the most beautiful, peaceful places on earth! I dont think Ive ever felt more relaxed than when Im in Longboat Key, and Beach Castle Resort provides a wonderful environment for that. The only thing that gave me pause when we were booking was that the only available units were poolside (apparently, a tribute to the Resorts popularity), and the pool is on the opposite side of the street from the ocean. We were pleasantly surprised to find, however, its a very short walk (only a few minutes) and totally worth it, especially since the price was the most reasonable with the most amenities we found in the area. We were particularly grateful that the management was extremely accommodating when we had to check in after hours. We definitely recommend Beach Castle Resort!
