Great Location

The property was cleaned well. Located near a pool. It had towels, utensils, toilet paper, etc. I was a little weary because of my 1 year old; the couch was beige and table top was glass. Would be perfect for older kids.

Perfect little family getaway!

This was the perfect stay for my family of 5. I loved everything about our stay. The beach was a few min walk, very safe area and loved the room with a little backyard feel for the kids. The host was fast with responses and overall was a very easy check in and out process. We will definitely be booking here next year, very much enjoyed it!

It was everything that was advertised

The property was perfect for what we needed, and the stay was fun. Make sure you come after June 1, if you plan on going to the water park on the island, because it was closed the last week of May. The private beach is awesome.

Perfect Weekend

The condo was excellent, efficient with all the amenities you'll need to sustain you for a long time. The grounds are very well taken care of, the two pools were also well maintained. The short walk to the beach was really nice and hassle free. I will defiantly return to this condo on my next visit to South Padre Island.

Amazing condo, amazing beach access

This condi was perfect for my 3 kids and myself. Had everything we could ever possibly need. A home a long way from home. Would definately stay here again and again. Easy beach access, easy access to the main strip. Most of all across the street from the sea turtle reserve! Thank u Stephanie!!!!!

Nice little place, kind of tight

It was a good place to just rest after spending the day at the beach, which is only a 5 minute walk away. We didn’t quite think through having to all share one bathroom, but it worked out with some planning. The complex is not in the busy part of the island so it’s quiet, but you won’t be able to walk around for food or groceries. I’d definitely come back, just maybe a little more prepared (buying groceries and supplies before making it to the island).

Great value. Comfy. Clean. Pretty. So much more than a simple review can give.

Thank you for sharing a nicely decorated home. It is located within walking distance to beach. So very close. Well kept pool. Turtle sanctuary across street! Kitchen has everything you need. Owner accessible. We had very minor concern with updated tv. Had it taken care of ASAP. Will be back. Will recommend to friends and family too. Thank you!!❤

Good enough!

It was super close to the ocean and pool which was pretty much all I cared about, however if I knew how south Padre was set up, I probably would have preferred to not be as far down on the island. All the shops and food are a little ways away. The unit itself definitely looks a little more run down than the photos portray, but it’s not bad. The beds were okay. I think the unit would be a little tight with more than 2 people. Overall it was worth a short stay for a cheap price!

Cute

Love staying at the tiki !!!!! Cute small condo. Beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately I have to mention, furniture in the condo was not the same as the online pictures. Immediate disappointment walking in to condo. Never sat in the living room because furniture needed deep cleaning. Take your own towels.. condo towels smelled a bit musty. Bathroom needs some updating. Lastly first time a condo at the tiki did not have hand soup in the bathroom. I still had a relaxing weekend. I hope the next stay these issues will be improved.

Weekend Getaway

This condo was within an older, but nice facility with friendly staff. The location was on the northern end of the island with the Sea Turtle complex across the street and a popular bar, Clayton's, within walking distance two properties to the north. Within the complex this condo sits towards the front of the property, but is a 2-3 min walk to the beach. The condo had everything we needed for our family to allow us to cook our own meals and a fairly large tv in the bedroom for college football watching. There are also two swimming pools within the complex. One improvement I'd like to see added for future guests are the hours of the front office to acquire your parking pass. We arrived shortly before they closed and would have hated to have been towed for not arriving in-time for check-in.

Prefect for our family of 4

We've stayed at several rentals on the island over the years and I have to say this is THE MOST comfortable rental by far. The owner included several little touches that really stood out such as dvds, books to read and board games. Most notable was the dehumidifier. It was surprising to walk into the condo and feel fresh air versus the usual cold damp air in other places. The location is perfect. It's close to a Marriott hotel, but we didn't hear any noise. We also didn't hear any neighbors above or below us. It's walking distance to the beach but if you are hauling stuff to the beach you can also just drive down to the end of the parking lot and park right next to the access ramp. The condo comes with beach towels, beach toys and a hose outside to rinse off the sand. The beds are comfy and the furniture in the living room was really cozy too. It's an older unit so there's no dishwasher, but it didn't bother me. We're definitely going to be staying here again.

Quick getaway

Had a quick getaway with some friends and my 10yr old daughter. We had stayed here years ago and loved it then just as much. This trip was just as great! My only complaint was someone’s dog barked all night/morning so we didn’t sleep well the last 2 days but I know that’s not the host fault! So overall fantastic!

Worst Vrbo Experience and Host

My friends and I booked this property weeks in advance for a mini weekend getaway. We arrived at the property and checked-in with the security officers who told us someone by the name of K Slayton was already checked into that property. They told us the property was apparently double booked for the same amount of days we booked it. We were then forced to find a hotel and paid more than what we had paid for this property. I contacted the host who was nothing short of unsympathetic and overall rude. I explained the situation and she showed no indication of caring. Vrbo then contacted me only offering partial refund, with her on the other line. To who ever plans to book this property, please know this property is listed on several leasing/booking agencies and the host is very much capable of overlooking a double booking. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Sweetest beach spot ever!

The condo was perfectly tucked in, and we felt like we had a little “back yard” of our own. The grounds were beautiful, pool temp was perfect, and access to ocean was excellent. We loved getting to walk to numerous beach restaurants and also to head the other way past the preserve for a more natural beach walk. Thank you for a perfect stay!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Saenz

Host profile image
Husband and wife with twin daughters. We bought the condo to 'get away' from our hectic lives and enjoy time with our girls. My husband's a police officer in Corpus Christi, if we are home, he is always willing to work, so we can never relax as a family! This was a way for the four of us to enjoy each other and have fun away from our daily commitments!

Why they chose this property

It was important to us to find a small complex that is quiet and has the beach right there! The landscaping has the feel of the tropics and the complex is very quiet. The office is very pro-active on keeping the visitors limited to only the Tiki. Maintenance and office staff are extremely friendly and willing to help any way they can.

What makes this property unique

This bottom floor unit was a blank slate! We are working on remodeling to bring the unit up-to-date. We put in brand new beds/bed linens ect. Brought in more color, fresh paint and special touches to make it feel 'beachy'! New stainless fridge and keurig were just put in on 7/14/14- new kitchen cabinets and Kenmore Elite stainless appliances - bathroom remodel Sept 2017! The private patio faces lush landscaping and a grassy area - very rarely does anyone pass by - giving you the sense of seclusion! SPI STR #2024-0173
