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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We so enjoyed returning to a place dear to our hearts. It is truly a feeling of coming home. Our experience was fine. Being 75 years old now and a caregiver for my husband, I failed to check my phone as to where the code was to get into the apartment. I was expecting it to be in the little black box marked "Arriving" outside the office. Other than that, all was well and the ocean was beautiful! Loved it.

I had a nice stay during the off season, despite some noisy people. I wouldn't want to stay when they are packed full, since parking is tight and tricky.

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. Property managers were very nice!

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!
