About this apartment rental

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our time here - property was ideal and beautifully appointed and area was quiet and peaceful. Beach two minutes away - sunsets beautiful. Would have been nice to be able to walk to a restaurant, but plenty within a short drive. Highly recommended for a chill stay.

The inside of the property was really nice and had everything we needed to cook. It was a short walk to the beach (across the road). The grocery driver had an hard time finding us. Consider lighting the property sign at night. Overall, we had a great time! Thanks

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here for several years and we have always loved it. Therre were a quite a bit of small roaches in my room. The room was pretty and clean besides that. Our whole family was there and we always have no issues beside that we can never enjoy the pool because it is so warm/hot, feels horrible so we never go in. Also the pool has no circulation or anything. Other guest complained to us about it at the beach. I didn't have to go to the office so don't know how they were. The dumpster smelled really bad throughout the property.
