Beach Castle Resort #17 by RVA

Compliments of RVA, Beach Castle Resort expands from the bayside of Longboat Key to the Gulf – providing a place to launch your kayak and cast a line, a chance to spot exotic birds that stop here for our mild temperatures and to view a picture-perfect sunset over the Gulf of Mexico -- all courtesy of Mother Nature.



The grounds here are impeccable – from the well-manicured vegetation to the vast palm trees that dot this serene Longboat Key location. The buildings at Beach Castle are the color of sunshine and are accented by Bahama shutters and railings that resemble palm trees. Each unit is individually owned, which means no unit is alike and provides a unique vacation experience to our guests. However, all units provide a full kitchen, living room and private lanais – never compromising the comforts of home.



This secluded hideaway exudes a classic charm that, as vacationers, we yearn for. 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.



Limited Membership Privileges: Guests of Beach Castle Resort #17 will have the option of temporary membership privileges at Cedars Tennis Resort located at 645 Cedars Court on Longboat Key. The limited temporary membership allows the guest access to fully-lit Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts (after 1 p.m. daily and subject to availability), community bicycles, fishing pier and Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool. The guest will also have access to the community fitness center.



Accommodations: Beach Castle Resort is a quiet, 21-unit condominium resort midway on the exclusive island of Longboat Key with a variety of views including Gulf front, Bay front, pool and garden views.



Unit #17 Features: One-bedroom, one-bathroom unit located on the bay side centrally located with garden views from the privacy of your lanai, tile floors, flat screen TV's and wireless Internet. Decorated in light, bright furnishings with classic Florida charm Unit #17 has all the ingredients for a relaxing vacation in paradise!

We love Beach Castle have been visiting for over 35 years. Pool and beach are great. Quiet area. Great seafood in the area. As far as unit we stayed in kitchen cookware could have been updated. Quality of bed linens were lacking.

the condo was nice, but lacked a few important things to us , such as simple wine glasses,.
The condo was just ok,and just OK for the cost could have been better stocked. .. wine glasses, salt pepper,just small things that would help a cook. Parking spot, not good. All in all for price could have been better for price, that's why rate was 4.

Everything you need.
I was here on a solo trip and did not use all the amenities, but it was nice to experience the space this way in order to gauge whether or not I would like to share the space with my partner. Although, the floor is completely covered in what felt like a luxury vinyl— pets are not allowed. That would be the only reason I wouldn’t visit again because we have to travel with our chihuhua! :) Otherwise, the place is awesome and the lady that checked me out the day I left was so sweet. Makes all the difference when you are traveling tired. Thank you so much!

Beautiful condo
We booked this condo for two nights on short notice when we learned we needed to extend our stay in Sarasota. I wish we could have stayed longer. The condo was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need (except food, that was our responsibility). We were pleased to see assigned parking, that was literally right outside our door. It was so relaxing to sit in the lanai and listen to the sounds of birds and a water fountain nearby. The property manager (Ted) was very helpful and nice. We hadn't realized there was a private beach for the condos on the gulf side, just across the street. It was beautiful and an easy walk, across the street, especially because there is a stop and go flashing light for pedestrians. The pool was big, unfortunately, we didn't have time to use it. We would definitely book this again, if the opportunity comes up.

Good stay!
Great place to stay. Clean and good location - 5 minute walk to the beach. The hot tub was wonderful. Bed is huge! Only “bad” thing is that you have to buy your own toilet paper, Kleenex, laundry detergent, etc. Would stay again!

The place was spacious and clean. I liked the tropical feel vibe with all the greenery. Crossing the road wasn't a problem and the beach was a few steps from there.
