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!

Fun Time in a Fun Place

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 wife and I spent three weeks in Unit #23 which was excellent. The owners of the unit pay close attention to detail and are so nice to deal with. We the rented two units in the fourth week, as out kids were joining us. Unit #4 is well-situated but needs major updating (kitchen, baths, furniture, utensils). Unit #5, where some of our kids and grands stayed turned out to be excellent. It was large, well appointed and updated.

Perfect Vacation Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: The owners of this unit created the perfect vacation home. The unit was clean and comfortable. Everything you could need was provided. Towels for the beach, a cooler, a bag to collect shells, games, and books to read. Starter cleaning supplies, luxurious shampoo and soap. A kitchen with all the pots and pans needed to cook a meal. And the view from the screened in porch of the bay and sunrise was spectacular. The white sand beaches, clear water and sunsets were wonderful. The pool and hot tub were also enjoyable. In addition to those amenities we had a pass to use the tennis club facilities during our stay. I highly recommend this particular unit as this is the best one we have stayed in at the Beach Castle resort.

Great spot to create your own adventure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent spot for short or long term stay. Short walk across the street to the private beach area and short driving distance to other public access spots. Loved the decor of our unit, the view from the lenai, the kitchen accessories, and the bed was so comfortable. The pool and spa were well kept as well, just not a super relaxed environment. This spot had pretty much everything we needed for our couples getaway for a weeklong stay.
