About the owner: We live in Central Pennsylvania and love the water and beach! So, in 2021 decided to purchase this condo to enjoy and share with others! We love it on Longboat Key, Florida as it is so beautiful and relaxing! Many direct flights to SRQ (Sarasota/Bradenton) airport too!
Why this property? We love Longboat Key as it has the "old Florida vibe", is quiet, not so crowded and has all of the amenities within walking distance. If you do want a bit more action, many of the other "beach towns" are only a short drive away!

Fantastic rental
Our stay at the Beach Castle was beyond what we had expected. Everything was freshly remodeled and clean. It included everything we needed for a great stay. You can’t beat the close distance to the beach. Would recommend to anyone!
