About this property

Beach Castle Resort #3 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.

Great Location Not so Great Unit
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fantastic, it was steps to beach however, the unit was sub par for the price. Broken sliders, broken toilet, terribly uncomfortable beds and pillows. Dirty shower curtain in bathroom, kitchen although it looked updated was stocked with old and mismatched things like flatware glassware and older, low end appliances. Whole unit needs an update and refresh! Wanted to enjoy being in the unit but just put a damper on the trip. The Beach Castle resort was lovely as always but we will surely choose a different unit next time.

We love Beach Castle!
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: I've been visiting Beach Castle over 20 years. This was our first stay in unit 3. I was pleased to have a view of the water, being on the lower level. The unit could've stood a good cleaning. Sheets were sandy upon arrival, a used bandaid stuck to the bedroom mirror, dusty furniture, sandy countertops, and tables in the livingroom. This is the second time we've stayed (last was in 2021) that the shower curtain liner could've used replacing. I don't like the idea of a bathroom rug outside of the shower, I'd rather have a towel to lay down. The toliet is loose from the floor.The patio doors could stand to be replaced. very hard to open, as if they're not on track. There's also a cut in the screen in the lanai, so we got pretty bit up.We did survive hurricane Idalia in unit 3, though we were under a mandatory evacuation. We were trying to see if we'd get our money back, if we left given the mandatory evacuation, but no such luck. Happy we ended up staying, scary as it was. Luckily we never lost power!
