Beach Castle by RVA — Hotel in Longboat Key

We spent 2 nights at Beach Castle Resort #24. Our very clean & stylish condo was 1 bedroom, 1 bath. Small but fully outfitted kitchen. Extra kitchen towels provided but no dish cloth, only a sponge. There was dish soap, dishwasher soap & paper towels for our use. Nice stoneware dish set. Glassware X6 in large & small sizes. Fridge was good size & they had made ice cubes already for us- that was so helpful! Dining table for 4 is adequate. Living Room is nice size with 2 recliners & a comfy couch. The screened porch is off the LR & has a wonderful view of the Bay & the resorts fishing dock.. my husband caught a few catfish from the dock, but had to be wary of all the bird droppings that pepper the railing. Bathroom is divided with single sink in bedroom area. A door separates the sink area from the tub/shower & toilet area, which is a very small tight space. Worked fine for us, but a large person may find it problematic. Nice linen closet was fully stocked with extra sheets, blankets, pillows, towels & a good assortment of books. Was missing a blow dryer. Double closet in bedroom was good space for the 2 of us. King bed was very comfortable. Love having a light on each side of the bed. |Walk to Gulf beach was 6 minutes- they provide nice chairs & umbrellas. The pool is very nice with ample seating. Water temperature was just right. |There is a keyless entry on this unit, but beware early arrivals- the lock is connected to computer system that will not allow entry code to work until scheduled 4pm arrivals. Was a problem for us as we were granted an early arrival time. Lauren from Beach Castle was able to get us in - so just a heads up!|Complex was quiet, people considerate & friendly. The parking is VERY tight. We drive a Ford Edge & we had no problem, but those with extended vehicles barely fit in some of the spaces. Having guests visit could be a big problem!!|Overall a very clean, comfortable condo for 2 people...I would definitely stay...

My hubby and I recently stayed in condo #4 for six days and have nothing but positive comments about the condo and the property, overall. We were looking for a romantic, kid-free getaway, and this was the perfect location.||||Condo #4 is on the second level and has a beautiful view of the beach. The condo had everything we needed, and was extremely clean and updated. We often like to cook in and the kitchen was well stocked for our needs. We also made use of the grill just outside our condo. The bed was comfortable and we especially enjoyed using the screened-in porch (I have a history of being destroyed by sand flees). ||||The beach is great for long walks, spotting fish and dolphins and checking out other properties. It's also a great spot for gorgeous sunsets. We used the pool and hot tub every night after dinner. It's a quick walk across the street to those amenities, but that road rarely was busy. Except for one night, we had the pool and hot tub all to ourselves. ||||One day we used the complimentary bikes offered at a property down the road (they have an agreement with the Beach Castle, but I can't remember the name of that property). We took the bikes up to Anna Maria island, checked out the area and had lunch and drinks.||||I should mention that as soon as we walked into this condo, I said, "I love it here." If you want a great ocean view, and don't mind stairs, I would definitely recommend condo #4. Condo #2 seems to be comparable, but I didn't...
