Beach Castle Resort #9 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 lanais – 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 #9 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, 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.



Unit #9 Features: Two-bedroom, two-bathroom first-floor unit located on the Gulf side. Decorated in clean, comfortable furnishings with updated amenities including a full-size, updated kitchen, and a private patio with partial views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Great location!

Location of property and our # 9 unit was perfect. Partial view of the gulf from patio and steps to beach. Unit itself was spacious, however both mattresses in second bedroom had huge pits in center making it impossible to sleep on, had to sleep on sofa instead. Living room blinds were broken and slats missing. A/C didn’t cool bedrooms. For the rate, these important items should have been in order. But we were on the beach - so overall a very pleasant stay!!

Great location

This place was perfect for our family. It was very comfortable. There's no view, but it actually stays very cool inside because of the lack of picture windows. The location was perfect. Steps to the beach!
