Beach Castle Resort #4 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 lanai – 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.



Limited Membership Privileges: Guests of Beach Castle Resort #4 will have the option of temporary membership privileges at Cedars Tennis Resort located at 645 Cedars Court on Longboat Key. The limited temporary membership allows the guest access to fully-lit Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts (after 1 p.m. daily and subject to availability), community bicycles, fishing pier and Jr. Olympic heated swimming pool. The guest will also have access to the community fitness center.



Accommodations: Beach Castle Resort is a quiet, 21-unit condominium resort midway on the exclusive island of Longboat Key with a variety of views including Gulf front, Bay front, pool and garden views.



Beach Castle #4 boasts some of the best ocean views on the island from the living area and private bedrooms. We welcome you to relax on your private screened patio and awaken your senses in the balmy, salty breeze and the sounds of the waves lapping against the shore. We guarantee this will be your favorite spot for your morning brew. From your private lanai, take the spiral staircase directly to the soft sands of Longboat Key for a romantic stroll or spend the day sun bathing. This unit provides all the amenities you expect from a Longboat Key vacation.



#4 Features: This 2nd story 2bd/2ba beach unit with spectacular beach views offers updated amenities including kitchen granite countertops, tile floors throughout, renovated bathrooms, and private patio overlooking the Gulf. The master bathroom features spa-like amenities for a luxurious feel. You'll enjoy the LCD flat-screen TV's in both the living room and master bedroom.



View: Gulf Front View.

Perfect

We loved Beach Castle! We stayed in Unit 4 which has breathtaking views and amazing sunsets. The condo was very clean and well appointed. We spent some days lounging on the beach. One afternoon trip to Siesta Key, an evening trip to St. Armands Circle for shopping and dinner, and a very long bike ride to Anna Marie Island. Some evenings we relaxed in the heated pool and hot tub.. Longboat was never overcrowded and a perfect central location for us. Beach Castle is very nicely located with only a short walk to the Lazy Lobster and Tyler's Homemade Ice Cream. We will definitely be back!

Paradise

This is our second stay at Beach Castle and we love it here. We like the beach front condos because they are literally steps from the beach! If you get an upstairs one, the views are amazing! The manager in the office is very nice, friendly and helpful. We just love it here. We’ve been visiting Sarasota area for over 30 years:)

Great View

The Beach Castle Resort itself was pretty dated, but our unit (#4) had been nicely updated. We were on the second/top floor unit directly overlooking the gulf so the view was great and the beach was very nice.

Location, location!

As promised, right on the beach. Liked the fact that lounge chairs and umbrellas were provided at the beach. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen had all the necessary "things". Porch furniture wasn't too great though. A convenient short walk to good restaurants. Will return.
