Easy check-in and out. The pool, hot tub and beach are great features. The unit is small, but had everything we needed. The only complaints we had were that the bed was very hard and not comfortable, and there is very limited parking. We had a nice stay and enjoyed LBK.

Nice Stay - Need to go back!

Beautiful place, nice grounds - unfortunately it was too cold during our visit to really enjoy the pool, dock, or beach - so we need to come back. During our stay the water heater went out - management was quick to respond and get the issue resolved.

Good Location

Good Location, close to beach, restaurants, walking distance or biking. Nice pool and hot tub. Condo was clean but could use a little TLC Air conditioner went out, so it was very hot, screen broken in bedroom. understand this is not their fault, but was a pain to unpack, and pack again.

Great Get Away!

This was a vacation for my wife and me. Got a call the day before from the property group confirming and communicating check in. Very clean unit. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable bed, couch and recliners. Plenty of towels, beach towels and linens. Three nice restaurants and ice cream shop within 5 min walk nearby. Property has beach recliners and beach chairs available to use on the gulf side. The dock on the intercoastal side looks new and has a couple benches to sit on.

Quick weekend getaway

We were only here for two nights. They were enjoyable. The space was clean. Fortunately we weren’t doing any cooking. They had the essentials but it seemed a little sparse. The property provided umbrellas and chairs but only if you’re at the private beach. If you were going to one of the public beaches you’d want your own stuff. Overall we enjoyed our time and would like to return to explore further.

Cozy Longboat Key Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My stay at Beach Castle Resort #26 was cozy and perfect for me. I enjoyed the sunrise and bay view from the screened in deck each morning, and short walk across the street to the beach and sunsets each day/evening. The condo was clean and well maintained. I enjoyed the guest membership at Cedars resort, and rode a bike each day. The only negative thing was that the screen was missing from the bedroom window, so I wasn't able to keep the window open. This should be replaced. Besides that, my stay was perfect!

Comfortable and Quiet

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were supposed to go to Captiva, and last minute needed to find somewhere else for 2 of us adults due to Hurricane Ian. The furniture, including bed, was very comfortable, and the location being away from the Gulf of Mexico Drive was quiet. We would not have wanted to be close to the main road, as it is very busy. The grill worked great. The private beach was super nice with chairs and lounge chairs provided, but unfortunately the weather was a little chilly and we had rain during our short stay and weren't able to spend much time there. The laundry facilities were nice, even though not in the unit, and were not far, free of charge. The condo was clean, however when we arrived, the place smelled very strongly of a humid, cleanser/lysol-type smell. Was thankful it was cleanser, and after a few hours, the smell dissipated and wasn't covering up something. Be prepared to drive most places. The condo had nice appliances. The TV was a little hard to figure out with the remotes, and we thought it would be nice to have a little more explanation of how to use it, but we ended up figuring it out after the 2nd night.

A great get away!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An easy process from start to finish! Booking online was a breeze and I loved that you could book shorter stays. Our flight was delayed so we didn't make it in time to check-in in-person, which was no problem bc everything was there waiting for us when we did get there. Our condo was clean and full of extra blankets (which was great bc the weather was chilly. It was a great location and easy to stay on the Key or go up to Cortez/Bradenton or down to Sarasota. Unfortunately, it was a bit chilly to hang out at the beach, but the morning trip tp the beach showed a great beach area! We had a great experience and will likely be back in the future!
