A lovely, well-maintained unit in a great locaton

This was our 2nd stay in Longboat Key and this place exceeded our expectations. The unit is in great shape and has everything we could possibly need. Attenton to details is obvious. The location is great; a few yards away from the ocean; breathtaking sunrises! We will look for this place again next year!

Fabulous location - beach & bay

We loved the location of this property - less than 5 min walk to semi-private beach, bay dock 2 min. walk, restaurant and ice cream shop 1 block away! Condo was clean, well furnished, and stocked with dishes, beach towels, a few beach toys, cooler, even an extra beach bag. Pool was clean and never busy (though water temp was hot in July). Beach was clean, lounge chairs and umbrellas always available, and ocean calm for floating some days and small waves for boogie boarding other days. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Condo in a Peaceful Location

The Beach Castle resort in general has that “old Florida” feel. It brought me back to me childhood vacationing in Florida. Beautiful landscape, lovely pool and great access to a very quiet beach. Our unit was newly updated with tasteful beach decor and with every necessity you could think of for a comfortable beach vacation. Comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen, peaceful screened in patio overlooking the bay, a cooler/beach bags/beach towels/sandy toys for the beach. We would love to return in the future!

Paradise

Our experience at this property couldn’t have been better. This space truly felt like home and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy all that this unit had to offer. It was tucked away from the chaos of spring breakers perfectly. Close enough to everything, but also far enough away. The unit had everything we needed and more. The lanai was the perfect place to begin and end each day, and the sunsets at the private beach truly can’t be beat. We would visit again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful LBK Stay

Had a fabulous time celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary! This condo was perfect for a couple- cute, clean. Wonderful bay view, we enjoyed sunrises and dolphins on the bay side and gorgeous sunsets and beach walks in the gulf side. This property was perfect, excellent hot tub and pool amenities, super clean! This condo was perfectly appointed, fabulous kitchen with everything you could think of for cooking in - the grills outside a plus too. We were also thankful for the complimentary laundry facilities. We have been coming to Longboat for many years and had never stayed at this property before and we loved it so much we’ve already booked for next year. Thanks to the owners for sharing their wonderful beach condo.

Cozy Condo

This was a cozy 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom condo with a great bay view from the living room and bedroom. Steps away from a small fishing dock (must bring your own fishing gear) and about a 100 to 150 yards to Longboat Key Beach. Resort offers lounge chairs and umbrellas for use on the beach. They also have a great pool and hot tub area with nice clean restrooms. The unit didn’t have its own washer and dryer; however, they do have complimentary washer and dryers a short walk from the condo. Great stay and look forward to visiting again.

So good, "I'll be back"

Just what I was looking for, serious R&R, romantic get-a-way-- it truly was a home away from home. The condo was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was fully stocked. Most importantly the bayside views were gorgeous! A few steps away and you could watch the sunset come up on the bay or simply sit outside on the patio with coffee. The ocean was a 2-minute walk across the street -- quicker than traversing a highrise hotel resort building. The pool and jacuzzi very well maintained. Beautifully landscaped. You can opt to stay on the island or take a 5-minute drive to all the Sarasota sites. Go sailing with Catherine -- a must do! Worth every penny!

Very relaxing stay at the beach

I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment is modern, clean and comfortable, it is situated on the bay side where there is a dock with a bench where you can sit and enjoy the sunrise. There is also a pool and jacuzzi on the bayside and access to a private beach is a short walk across to the beachside. Umbrellas and loungers and towels are provided making it a very easy beach visit. Restaurants, bars and shops are all within walking distance as is Durante Park which provides an opportunity for a walk in the shady paths through mangrove forest. All in all the location and apartment were great and we would definitely stay here again.
