Property Description

Turnkey furnished and positioned just steps from the Gulf's sandy shoreline, this first-floor residence at Beach Castle on Longboat Key offers a compelling combination of coastal living and proven rental potential. With flexible daily or weekly rental allowances, this two-bedroom retreat presents an exceptional opportunity for personal use, income generation, or both.
The light-filled interior features an open layout designed for ease and comfort, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together naturally. Oversized tile flooring, updated impact glass, and sliding doors enhance both durability and livability, while the kitchen is well-appointed with granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and built-in shelving--creating a functional space for everyday living or hosting.
Floor-to-ceiling sliders lead to a private patio and screened lanai, offering a seamless transition to the outdoors and placing you just moments from the beach. The split-bedroom plan provides added privacy, with the primary suite enjoying direct access to the outdoor space, while the guest bedroom is comfortably sized with its own en-suite bath.
Set within the boutique Beach Castle community, residents enjoy a unique beach-to-bay lifestyle with deeded Gulf access, a heated swimming pool and spa, grilling areas, and a fishing pier with day dock on Sarasota Bay. Lush landscaping and well-maintained grounds create a relaxed, resort-style setting that enhances both owner enjoyment and guest appeal.
Located on the desirable north end of Longboat Key, this property is just minutes from Bayfront Park, Cedars Tennis Resort, and the island's scenic biking and walking paths. A short drive south brings you to the Longboat Key Club, St. Armands Circle's dining and boutiques, and downtown Sarasota's renowned cultural venues, waterfront parks, and year-round events.
With strong rental history, immediate beach access, and a turnkey presentation, this Beach Castle residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Longboat Key--whether as an investment, a private getaway, or a combination of both.
