I have stayed at Beach Castle several times and was always happy with the stay overall. BUT, this time we paid for a beachfront room and were given a beachside room. There is a HUGE difference and I am very disappointed. No view of the beach unless you go outside on the patio and turn to the side. The beachfront rooms have direct access and a direct beautiful view.

There is easy and quick access to the beautiful beach on the gulf with chairs for guest use. There is also a nice fishing pier on the bay. Beautiful scenery, fully equipped condo, laundry facility and more.

Overall, nice place to stay.
Overall the stay was good. Our apartment was clean.Nice beach access. Front desk hours limited. Hot tub was colder that the pool all week. We said something about it the first day and everyday after that, they said it would be fixed the next day, but it never was.

For the unit that we were in - we had millions of little sugar ants, the one arm-chair on the right was so bad it almost caved in when you sat in it, the front door had no complete lock so we were sitting watching tv with the door double locked, and a maintenance man came in with his key, the sink area light was very mysterious - without any instructions we found out if you turn it on once it is very dim, turn it off and turn it on again it gets brighter? .

2/10 Poor

Not a great experience
My first issue was the bait and switch. I picked a “beachside room with a view” and got a basement type room. Had to go out on the porch and stand on my tip toes to see the beach. I raised an issue and the on-site manager wouldn’t move me to the actual beach property because i was only booked for 3 days and the 3!!!!!! rooms that were available...that’s right...3 rooms were available and they wouldn’t move us. Second problem: kitchen hadn’t been cleaned. We checked in at 3:30. 30 minutes early I guess? But the fine print says check in is 4-5pm? 1 hour check in window? Oh...and my family found 6 dead roaches. Third and biggest problem. Bed bugs. That’s right...bed bugs!!!! The on-site for that experience was worse. Initial she didn’t seem like she wanted to deal with us. Reluctantly gave us a room with zero view and then told us we could move to the other room, but to leave all our stuff in the first room until the bug guy could come...and he wouldn’t be there until the next day! Luckily he came by like 2 hours later...screwed up our day plans...the actual RVA manager had come in by then and offered a better room with the view, but by this time my parents had settled in and didn’t wanna move for a 3rd time. The main RVA manager was nicer and made an effort, but the whole experience wasn’t great for a 3 day weekend.

A gem in the beach
Excellent hotel for a family trip and long stay. Full equipped at the kitchen and beds, whatever you need you will have it at the kitchen drawers. Nice beach at the hotel. Close to Siesta key beach, etc.
