This was our second stay in this particular unit. Always satisfied with the cleanliness and conveniences they provide. The host and check in couldn't be easier. This unit has a perfect ocean view from the master suite and patio. Outdoor beach needs are furnished, along with towels. Simply walk outside and down the path to the beach. We will continue to visit Longboat Key and this unit is on our go to list.

So we will absolutely stay at Beach Castle Resort again. Sue made check in a breeze and was super friendly and accommodating (thanks Sue)! You also cannot beat being right on the beach and all the amenities provided (beach chairs, towels, sand toys, bogey boards, and umbrellas! However, unit 5 was dirty (a dead cockroach in the closet, moldy shower curtain, and stains on the couch). Each unit is individually owned, so we plan to rent another unit next year. We would stay at number 5 if they did a deep clean, got rid of the dirty items, and an exterminator.
