I have stayed at Beach Castle several times and was always happy with the stay overall. BUT, this time we paid for a beachfront room and were given a beachside room. There is a HUGE difference and I am very disappointed. No view of the beach unless you go outside on the patio and turn to the side. The beachfront rooms have direct access and a direct beautiful view.

There is easy and quick access to the beautiful beach on the gulf with chairs for guest use. There is also a nice fishing pier on the bay. Beautiful scenery, fully equipped condo, laundry facility and more.

Great Location

Very clean, well furnished and great location. Would have appreciated a kitchen sponge, a roll of paper towels and more outlets (w/ power strips) to plug in all my technology. Disappointed I never received a response back on two texts I sent via VRBO app. to owner/property manager, as I prepared for my trip.

For the unit that we were in - we had millions of little sugar ants, the one arm-chair on the right was so bad it almost caved in when you sat in it, the front door had no complete lock so we were sitting watching tv with the door double locked, and a maintenance man came in with his key, the sink area light was very mysterious - without any instructions we found out if you turn it on once it is very dim, turn it off and turn it on again it gets brighter? .

Worst place ever

The apartment was dirty, bathroom was disgusting and not even talk about the kitchen. We found a dead animal on the chair. The carpet was dirty as well and with animal hair. The location was not what they had advertised. We didn't stay the whole time we check out before even though we didnt get our money back we had to rent somewhere else. Waste of money and time.

Quiet Retreat

Much needed short stay vacation on beautiful LBK. Beach Castle is located on N end of island with great restaurants nearby, I chose to go with take out. Having chairs available on the beach was key - no lugging. Kitchen had the basics though I didn’t need much. My only recommendation is that owner of the unit needs to invest in high speed internet with adequate bandwidth. Office manager was helpful and thankfully I didn’t need to check in with work.
