Beach Castle Resort #2 by RVA

Between the azure blue of the Southwest Florida skies, and the turquoise Gulf of Mexico waters sits Beach Castle Resort on Longboat Key. A true beach-to-bay community, Beach Castle rests on one of the narrowest points of this prestigious island, allowing the community to extend from the Gulf side to the bay side – a quality few of the privilege to carry. The buildings at Beach Castle are the color of sunshine and are accentuated by Bahama shutters and railings that resemble palm trees. The grounds here are lush in flora and fauna, creating a tropical backdrop to your island vacation. Each unit is individually owned, which means no unit is alike and provides a unique vacation experience to our guests.



Beach Castle #2 boasts some of the best ocean views on the island from the living area and private bedrooms. We welcome you to relax on your private screened patio and awaken your senses in the balmy, salty breeze and the sounds of the waves lapping against the shore. We guarantee this will be your favorite spot for your morning brew. From your private lanai, take the spiral staircase directly to the soft sands of Longboat Key for a romantic stroll or spend the day lazing in the warm sand. The colors of the Gulf of Mexico are a perfect backdrop to the updated, beachy décor in the unit and provide all the amenities of home, yet all you expect from a Longboat Key vacation. Beach Castle #2 features an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, spacious living areas and beautifully decorated bedrooms, complete with flat-screen TV’s.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.

Beach Castle #2 was exactly as described and we were very happy with the accommodation. It was fully equipped, had a screened deck with beautiful Gulf breezes and views. The rental process from start to finish was seamless. We really enjoyed our time there.

We love Beach Castle .... except for some small things

We’ve been coming to beach house or for about 10 years. Stayed a few of the units with beach view. This time we went stayed in unit 2. It is a beautiful unit with great decorations and a perfect view of the beach. The only negative (and it’s a big one) is the extremely firm mattress in the master bedroom. It was very uncomfortable and the bed frame creaked with every movement. Also the management only issues one parking pass per unit. You needed more for guests or visitors they offered an overflow lot over a half mile away. That was not acceptable since there were plenty of empty spots in the lot. The last problem was the red tide. While not the fault of the condo owner or the management, someone should have posted information about the beach conditions or warned about swimming.

Best condo of the group. Awesome view of the beach

Condo was great and view of the beach was amazing. One note I would like to add is the stair case on the beach side is held up by zip ties which is definitely a concern but didn’t stop us from using them. Just wanted others to be aware.
