Property Description
The light-filled interior features oversized tile flooring, updated windows and sliders (2009), and a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, contemporary cabinetry, modern appliances, and plumbing and electrical upgrades completed in 2006. Designed for effortless coastal living, the open layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Floor-to-ceiling sliders lead to a private patio and screened-in lanai, both just steps from the beach, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to flow together naturally.
The split-bedroom plan enhances privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite enjoys beautiful Gulf views, private patio access, and a peaceful setting perfect for morning coffee or sunset unwinding. A comfortable second bedroom and full bath complete the guest wing.
Beach Castle Resort is one of the few communities on Longboat Key offering daily, weekly, or monthly rental flexibility, giving owners the freedom to maximize both personal use and rental income. The community's beach-to-bay amenities include deeded beach access, a sundeck with heated swimming pool and spa, barbecue grilling areas, a fishing pier, and a day dock for boating enthusiasts (first-come basis, no overnight docking). Lush tropical landscaping and well-maintained grounds create a relaxing boutique-resort environment.
Perfectly located on the north end of Longboat Key, the property is minutes from Bayfront Park, Cedars Tennis Resort, and the island's scenic walking and biking routes. A short drive south leads to the Longboat Key Club, upscale dining, and the attractions of St. Armands Circle. Downtown Sarasota—home to world-class theater, museums, botanical gardens, professional events, and waterfront parks—is just across the bridge.
With direct Gulf-front views, strong rental history, and an unbeatable location, this Beach Castle residence offers the best of Longboat Key's coastal lifestyle—whether you're seeking an investment, a getaway, or both.
