10/10 the unit was just as advertised. Clean and amenities were great! My questions were answered quickly and kindly. Everything needed! Would return next year!
We came to Longboat Key to celebrate a graduation of a family member. A few different family members stayed at Beach Castle and everyone loved it. Great location-close to beach, restaurants, etc. This unit was excellent-clean, updated, and check in/out was very smooth. I would come back again!
I have been going to LBK and the Beach Castle for 40 years. My daughters always called it our “happy place.” Now my son-in-laws and grand babies have joined us. Staying at the Beach Castle is easy and the perfect location with bay and beach access. Our unit was updated and had all the kitchen accessories we needed. Providing beach towels and access to free laundry services is always a plus! See you next year!!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Location wonderful, property just ok.
The guest service attendant was amazing. The property however was lacking. Walking in it immediately smelled of mildew. The tray in the toaster over had not been cleaned, the fridge was missing all shelves and there were no coffee filters to make the complimentary coffee. It was decent for one night but I couldn't picture a longer stay.

We were very pleased with rental number 15. It was clean, updated and the bed was very comfortable. Only complaint is the pool was HOT! Need to put up some sail shades to help keep at bay.

Reviewer Comments:
We occupied 3 separate units in the same building for our trip to Long Boat Key and it was fabulous! All units were clean, comfortable and were everything we needed for our stay. Only thing I would say is to make sure there is dishwasher soap so we could have run it before we left. Along with more than a half roll of toilet paper bc paying $17 for a pack of tp is ridiculous.

We just stayed one night but it was perfect for our family of 6. Super quick short walk across the street to the beach and the convenience of having chairs and umbrellas already on the beach was great . We also took a short drive over to the tennis club and borrowed bikes for a morning bike ride . We already booked to stay longer for another weekend . Only complaint is the condo needs to provide extra linens for sofa bed and a choice of different types of bed pillows .

Very enjoyable...great beach...not much of a view from the lanai but it is surronded by vegetation creating a private environment. It is just a short walk across the street to the private Beach.
