Longboat Key Life
Longboat Key is a quieter gulf-side retreat located between Lido Key and Anna Maria Island along Florida's southwest coast. The barrier island is surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay. The island's eastern shoreline is covered in mangroves with hidden canals and marinas. On the western shoreline, you can walk for miles on the white sandy beaches and swim in the gentle gulf. Imagine spending your days beachcombing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, sailing, golfing, or cycling along the island's winding bike path.
Longboat Key is known for its abundance of dining options. With the Gulf and Sarasota Bay in its backyard, many restaurants focus on serving local, fresh seafood while visitors enjoy amazing waterfront views.
Just south and across the bridge is bustling St. Armand's Circle, a popular destination filled with boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tropical landscaped courtyards. Head north on Longboat Key, cross the Longboat Pass bridge, and find yourself on Bradenton Beach, Anna Maria Island and Holmes Beach. This area offers gorgeous, white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, fun waterfront bars, restaurants and a variety of shops.
**IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION** Beach Castle Resort has a new parking pass policy in place. Each reservation includes one on-site parking pass, which must be clearly displayed on your dashboard whenever your vehicle is parked on the property. You’ll find the pass inside the condo—please retrieve it after check-in time. To avoid any issues, we kindly ask that you do not park at the resort before check-in or without the pass displayed. Unauthorized vehicles may be towed. An extra parking pass will be provided for The Cedars Condominiums just a short distance up the street. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Summer Vacation
Loved the location of this VRBO!! It has easy access to local tourists spots but is a much more laid back atmosphere than other islands around it. Also it's within walking distance of a few great restaurants and an ice cream parlor. The beach is great and provided umbrellas/chairs is a great plus for us! Loved our stay!!

Perfect Location on LBK
This little condo was so clean and cozy we had the most relaxing time away. We typically stay on the beach side, but were looking for something last minute. I loved the feel of the 2nd floor view from the balcony. The pool and hot tub were almost always empty and a short walk across the street to the beautiful gulf😍 Comfortable seating in living room and bed. We will be back!

Unit 14 is a wonderful little condo right next to the pool. The Unit was very clean and had everything we needed for a day in or out. The master bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept on in a rental and my 10 y o slept on the pull out bed and she slept well too.we enjoyed the private patio as well. The quick walk across the street to the private beach was wonderful and nice to avoid the crowds. Having the chairs at the beach was real convince and we just grabbed an umbrella from the pool to take over. We will definitely be back to stay at beach castle and I'm sure will visit Unit 14 again as well.

Was a wonderful stay as I have stayed at Beach Castle 3 times in the last year. It was my daughters thirtieth birthday, and even though the weather was if and didn't get alot of beach time we enjoyed our stay, and loved the balcony view also. Everything was set up to have coffee cook and just plain relax. Can't wait to go hack!!!!

Great vacation
We had an absolutely lovely trip! God definitely dialed up the weather for us…perfect 80 degrees and sunny. It was perfect to walk over to the beach each day and soak up that Florida sun. The pool was very very close which was perfect with our toddler son. Everyone working at the Beach Castle was warm, friendly, and inviting.
Our condo (#14) was super clean and perfect for the three of us. Loved the jungle like background on the lanai. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with just about everything you would need. If you’re going to grocery shop prior to arrival….bring salt/pepper, oil, sandwich bags, laundry detergent because those are not stocked. Thanks for you allowing us to stay in your home….I’ve talked my husband into moving to Sarasota because of our stay.
