About this property

Beach Condo with Quiet, Private Beach

Relax with your loved ones at this quiet, 2-bedroom beachfront condo at the Beach Castle Resort on Longboat Key. This second-floor corner unit is a perfect beach vacation rental for couples or families, offering a chance to recharge, reconnect, and make new memories.

Wake up to stunning Gulf of Mexico views from the primary bedroom and your private patio—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink while you take in the amazing sunsets and listen to the waves. The home is comfortably furnished to accommodate your group:

1. Primary Bedroom: A relaxing sanctuary with a king-sized bed, a 50-inch smart TV, and direct patio access with water views. Complete with an attached en-suite bathroom.

2. Second Bedroom: Features two full-sized beds and a TV with cable and an attached en-suite bathroom

3. Living Room: Unwind with a movie on the 58-inch 4K Roku smart TV. The space also includes a queen-sized sleeper sofa for additional guests.

Parking: One assigned on-site parking space is included with your stay. If needed, limited off-site parking for one additional vehicle may be available by advance request for $25 per day. Please note that on-site parking is restricted to your assigned space only, and vehicles parked in unassigned spots may be subject to towing.

Key Amenities:
--Fully equipped kitchen with a blender for frozen drinks.
--Free in-building washer and dryer.
--High-speed fiber Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace.
--Children`s books and toys to keep younger guests entertained.

The secluded hideaway resort is wonderfully maintained and incredibly quiet and peaceful. The beaches on Longboat Key are just a few miles north of Siesta Key, consistently rated the top beach in the country. With the same water and sands as Siesta Key, Longboat Key is much less crowded, truly feeling like your own private slice of paradise. One of our absolute favorite things to do while here is sitting out on the beach after dark and stargazing! This quiet retreat offers a great escape from it all -- a chance to recharge your batteries, reconnect with loved ones and make new memories.

Your unit is wonderfully located on the northern part of Longboat Key, a very short walk to great restaurants, cafés and an ice cream shop. Bicycle rentals are also available to further explore everything the island has to offer. St Armands Circle is less than 9 miles to the south and is an exciting hub of waterfront locations, fine dining and shopping.

Guests will enjoy complete privacy and access to the entire condo via a smart lock. Your unique access code will be provided in your confirmation email and will activate at check-in.

As our guest, you`ll have access to the full range of amenities at the unique Beach Castle Resort, which extends from the Gulf of Mexico to Sarasota Bay:

* Private Beach Access: Enjoy private beach access just steps from your door.
* Beach Gear: Complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas are provided for your use.
* Pool & Hot Tub: Take a dip in the heated community pool or unwind in the hot tub.
* Bay Access: Launch a kayak from the newly constructed pier on the bay or enjoy some great fishing. Two fishing poles are available for your use in the unit.

**Traveling with Children:**
We provide a Pack `N Play with a mattress, a booster seat and bed rails. You just need to supply the sheets for the mattress

**Liability Waiver:**
Our property offers wonderful opportunities for swimming, fishing, and enjoying the beach, dock, and pool. By agreeing to the House Rules, you acknowledge the inherent risks involved and accept full responsibility for any bodily injury. Children must be supervised at all times near water, as there are no lifeguards on duty. Diving from the dock is not allowed.

We strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance. For additional flexibility, you may want to explore ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ (CFAR) coverage.

Please Note: We provide a starter kit of essentials (soap, paper towels, toilet paper). As this is a self-service resort without daily housekeeping, guests are responsible for purchasing additional supplies for their stay. A Publix grocery store is conveniently located nearby.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The private beach was just beautiful. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. My only recommendation would be to add a full length mirror in the king bedroom. Would definitely come back.

I booked this stay for family who lived in the area years ago but had not been back in many years. They specifically wanted to have time at the beach and this property made that so easy! They loved everything about the place so much that they cancelled their late afternoon and evening plans both days to just relax there. Communication with the host Danielle was quick and seamless, check-in super simple, and I'm told the property was exactly as represented or better! Highly recommend this property!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful condo The location is perfect and it has a beautiful view of the ocean. It is beautifully renovated, spotlessly clean and it is bright and airy. We loved the little extra touches like the coffee station with several different coffee syrups. We ate breakfast every morning in the screened in porch which had a lovely view of the Ocean. The condo looks exactly like it does in the photos. The hosts were wonderful and Danielle was a pleasure to communicate with. She answered any questions I had very quickly. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Loved this little condo. Its access to the beach is unbeatable. Longboat is a great area- quiet and not overrun with tourists! We loved the condo’s proximity to great restaurants and easy access to grocery stores for supplies. Will definitely stay here again when we are in the area!

This place was wonderful. First of all, the location is amazing, right in the beach! And the beach was never crowded, we almost always felt like we had it to ourselves. And this unit was clean, comfortable and beautiful. We have stayed at another unit at beach castle before and the layout of this condo was a little roomier which was so nice. We will definitely stay here again.
