Loved the location of this VRBO!! It has easy access to local tourists spots but is a much more laid back atmosphere than other islands around it. Also it's within walking distance of a few great restaurants and an ice cream parlor. The beach is great and provided umbrellas/chairs is a great plus for us! Loved our stay!!
A relaxing and quiet stay. Pool was great. Beach chairs readily available at both the pool and on the beach. Beach is a quick walk from this unit. Several nice restaurants nearby.
Overall, many things inside have been updated, but some things need to be freshened up and cleaned.Location was further out than we expected with family in Sarasota.All that said, it was sufficient and we enjoyed walks on the beach, and enjoyed the sidewalks.Parking is 1 space per unit, and people were constantly in our spot,
Wonderful resort steps from the ocean. Heated pool and hot tub were a delight - very clean and everyone was very helpful during our stay! Would very much recommend!!
We enjoyed our stay. The room was tastefully appointed and ideally located between the Bay and the Gulf with easy walking access to both. Would stay here again!

Everything was great! Clean comfortable and great location . Just across the street from the beach (gulf coast) pool was warm and clean.
Clean, photos are accurate and current. We had one small issue and they were prompt and professional with response to get it resolved.

Unit 14 is a wonderful little condo right next to the pool. The Unit was very clean and had everything we needed for a day in or out. The master bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept on in a rental and my 10 y o slept on the pull out bed and she slept well too.we enjoyed the private patio as well. The quick walk across the street to the private beach was wonderful and nice to avoid the crowds. Having the chairs at the beach was real convince and we just grabbed an umbrella from the pool to take over. We will definitely be back to stay at beach castle and I'm sure will visit Unit 14 again as well.

We came singe 25 years to Florida and since 1999 Tp Longboat Key, only change to accommodation. And we Love it.This Time in BC # 14 was awesome!
This little condo was so clean and cozy we had the most relaxing time away. We typically stay on the beach side, but were looking for something last minute. I loved the feel of the 2nd floor view from the balcony. The pool and hot tub were almost always empty and a short walk across the street to the beautiful gulfđ Comfortable seating in living room and bed. We will be back!
Nice location and enjoyed having access to both beach and bay. Nicely decorated although some features are rather dated.

We love Longboat Key and love the Beach Castle!
Was a wonderful stay as I have stayed at Beach Castle 3 times in the last year. It was my daughters thirtieth birthday, and even though the weather was if and didn't get alot of beach time we enjoyed our stay, and loved the balcony view also. Everything was set up to have coffee cook and just plain relax. Can't wait to go hack!!!!
We had an absolutely lovely trip! God definitely dialed up the weather for usâŚperfect 80 degrees and sunny. It was perfect to walk over to the beach each day and soak up that Florida sun. The pool was very very close which was perfect with our toddler son. Everyone working at the Beach Castle was warm, friendly, and inviting.
Our condo (#14) was super clean and perfect for the three of us. Loved the jungle like background on the lanai. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with just about everything you would need. If youâre going to grocery shop prior to arrivalâŚ.bring salt/pepper, oil, sandwich bags, laundry detergent because those are not stocked. Thanks for you allowing us to stay in your homeâŚ.Iâve talked my husband into moving to Sarasota because of our stay.
