The place was clean and everything was in tip-top shape. The location of the condo is ideal. It is very close to the beach. We could walk to the beach. It borders the open, undeveloped beachfront on the north end of the island.I recommend highly. Hosts were easy to contact and very responsive.

We have stayed at the Tiki many times before. Always looking for one closer to the water. We thought we found it. Although view was great. The condo is very much in need of updates. My puppy kept finding food behind couches and the glass doors. The pillows were very old and yellow with stains as well as the towels . I think a little upkeep will make this a better place.

Absolutely amazing experience here at the condo. We came from Houston with our two pets. Check in was very easy! It was clean and there were extra towels and blankets, lots of furniture and beach chairs provided. We felt very safe here and it was only steps from the beach. It's nearby restaurants and shops. We will definitely return! Thank you so much

Best Location! Cute Place!

This was the easiest rental we have ever had. Owners and property managers for Tiki Condominiums are very communicative and friendly! The place was great and almost right on the beach. Its tucked away at the perfect spot right by the pool on one side and the beach just around the corner. 1 min walk to the beach! It was clean and a very comfortable place to stay. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay close to beach

I was very pleased with the accommodations and especially with how close to the beach. We were thrilled to be able to bring our dog with us. The only thing I would recommend to the owners is to add a map of the tiki condos to the welcome package because it is challenging to find everything especially if you come in late like we did. Otherwise I have no complaints. The staff at the condos was very kind and helpful.

The property and location was great, nice area, had no disturbance from other tenants, will return.

Just wanted to let owner know, tile is cracked and loose on each corner of stove, shower valve handle very loose, lamp not working in bedroom, no baking pan, bought one and left in condo, nice area, condo needs to be renovated and updated. We did enjoy our stay at the condo, would return.
