Beach Castle Resort #26 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.

The guest will also have access to the community fitness center.

Good Location
Good Location, close to beach, restaurants, walking distance or biking. Nice pool and hot tub. Condo was clean but could use a little TLC Air conditioner went out, so it was very hot, screen broken in bedroom. understand this is not their fault, but was a pain to unpack, and pack again. Property managers were very nice!

Nice Stay - Need to go back!
Beautiful place, nice grounds - unfortunately it was too cold during our visit to really enjoy the pool, dock, or beach - so we need to come back. During our stay the water heater went out - management was quick to respond and get the issue resolved.

In town for my sisters wedding
It was a perfect location for us. We had a wedding at the resort at longboat key just 10 minutes down the road. Checkin process was easy, parking right in front of the condo was super convenient. The condo was very clean upon arrival and it was very quiet the two nights we stayed. The kitchen is fully equipped and the view of the water was special. The shower was great and the bed very comfortable. The screened in porch was perfect for morning breakfast and watching the sunset. The slider doors leading to the porch were open most of the time we were there. Should we return to that area, we will definitely stay here again.

I had a nice stay during the off season, despite some noisy people. I wouldn't want to stay when they are packed full, since parking is tight and tricky.
