About this apartment rental
Compliments of RVA, welcome to Beach Castle Resort – a hidden gem that stretches from the sparkling bay waters of Longboat Key all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Here, you’ll find the best of both worlds: launch a kayak from the bayside, cast a line from the pier, watch for exotic birds that make this tropical retreat their home, and end your day with breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf.
The resort grounds are simply stunning—lush, manicured landscaping, swaying palms, and charming architecture painted in sunny hues with Bahama shutters and palm-inspired railings. Each residence is privately owned, offering its own unique personality and style, while still providing all the comforts of home: a full kitchen, spacious living areas, and private lanais designed for relaxation.
Beach Castle Resort embodies classic Florida charm—a tranquil hideaway where you can unwind, soak up the sunshine, and reconnect with loved ones. With private beach access and the kind of peace and privacy that make vacations truly memorable, this is the escape you’ve been searching for.

Reviewer Comments:
We have been vacationing at Beach Castle since the mid 80s and love the place. The view from the unit was incredible, especially sunrise. The decor and furniture in the unit was tastefully done. However, there were some white upholstered chairs that were not a good choice and some updates still needed to be completed that were scheduled for after our stay. Missing televisions in 2 of the bedrooms, furniture missing from one of the bedrooms and removal of the carpet in the upstairs bedroom. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was a definite plus! We were told due to the size of the unit that we would have 2 parking spaces outside of the room. We did have 2 parking spaces but both were not conveniently located. as one of the owners decided to park a trailer in one of our spaces. Due to that we were told we had to park across the street a LONG way from our unit. What was even more ridiculous was the place was practically empty and yet we could not park closer. No one else showed up during that time and it made no sense to us. All in all is was a good stay in spite of the hurricanes last year. We hope they continue to keep the good aspects of Beach Castle for many years to come.

We found the beds to be a bit too firm for our tastes and noticed some staining on the linens and comforters. Also, we were concerned that some of the sliding doors to the outside did not function properly, especially in the bedrooms on the ground floor. Otherwise, the neighborhood was quiet and the views of the bay were nice.

This is a beautiful and convenient location. The bay is steps from the condo, the beach is across the street, the pool is very nice and there are restaurants just a few steps down the road. Our family had a wonderful time and plan to visit again.
