Cal away from home.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay , as always was amazing. We had a very small hiccup that was handled with so much caring. Our area was clean, the sheets and pillows were worth snuggling into, and it was so easy to walk to to the golf. It was close enough to walk to the lazy, lobster, and to get our favorite ice cream. Thank you so much for making our vacation so incredibly special. See you next year!

The condo was as described and we had a great time this week. The dishwasher had an issue but was addressed immediately. We have been visiting LBK and Beach Castle for years and love the area. There is no ice maker in this unit and with 5 people and only 1 tray to make ice, it was not convenient to have to continually make trips to buy ice. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay.

hank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued loyalty to Beach Castle! We’re glad our team was able to handle the dishwasher issue swiftly and that you enjoyed another great week on Longboat Key. We completely understand how a lack of ice can be a hassle, especially with a family of five. Please know we've taken your note to heart and are looking into ways to better accommodate our guests' ice needs in this unit moving forward. We hope to see you again soon!

The walks to the bay and Gulf were shorter than we anticipated (bonus: a couple of restaurants are a short walk away, too). Sunrise over the bay just a few steps from our unit, and sunsets over the Gulf just across the street. The unit itself was clean, comfortable, with plenty of space. And the pool area is very well maintained. Overall, it's exactly what we wanted from our Longboat Key getaway.

We enjoyed our stay at beach castle, they had most everything you’d need for a beach outing, Towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. The condo is situated between the bay and beach, and walking was easy to both. We went with our adult kids and grandchildren and we enjoyed our stay very much! Would recommend and we will be back!

Our first visit to Sarasota/Bradenton

The check in was fast and easy. The condo was just the right size for our quick trip for a soccer tournament. The location was convenient to the complex, the airport, and shopping! We would definitely stay here again and plan to visit for a longer stay soon.

Beach Castle

Nice, unassuming property with all basic amenities. Beach is a short walk, has plenty of chairs/umbrellas and well maintained. Good location on the island halfway between two popular night spots, St. Armands and Bridge Street.

Wedding Weekend Stay

Wonderful stay for our sons wedding ~ nicely appointed unit; it had everything we needed! Great staff in the office. About a 10 minute drive from St Armand’s Key & Lido Beach (absolutely loved both) and about 20 minutes to Siesta Key (most beautifully sanded beach I’ve ever stepped on ❤️). Truly enjoyed our stay!
