We stayed for the month of January. The space was clean and quite. Some updates are needed and kitchen utilsels , pots and pans need an update for extended stays if you are doing much cooking, The Tiki is very well located for close by places to eat and live entertainment.

This experience exceeded our expectations. It was a clean, quiet property with beautiful landscaping. The condo was spacious and beautiful, perfectly accommodating us and our pets. On the north (quieter) end of the island, a quick drive from the busier areas. Easy beach access. We loved it and this will be our first choice for all future trips to South Padre!

I was a little confused at first about where to get my paperwork and to check in. I’ve never had to check into two different places. All check in information should be at the beginning of the email.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. What we really enjoyed was the friendliest of the staff. And being pet friendly, that was great. My only recommendation was to add a dish drainer to the sink. And add hooks on the patio to hang wet towels

Perfect location and close to everything we wanted to do. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Take a pair of sweats for the room if you’re going to be inside for an evening. I understand that because of the humidity the temperature needs controlled but was chilly after all day in the sun.

Customer service was excellent and the condo was clean. The location is right on the beach, which was very convenient. Cons were that the condo is small and only has 2 full size beds in the bedroom. My hubby and I slept uncomfortable as did my two teens on the other full size bed. The futon in the living room pulls out but is a twin size when turned into a bed. The unit does not have a washer/dryer or dishwasher either

When booking it online I didn’t realize the property was on the second floor and the view was of the Courtyard hotel wall. I did appreciate being on the top floor however as there wasn’t any noise above us ( I’d lived in an apt before). This condo is close to one of the two pretty pools. The condo and area were quiet and respectful, perfect for rest and rejuvenation. The grounds were kept immaculate The persons maintaining the property were simply lovely, very kind. It is a short walk to the beach👍 The linens and beds very comfortable 👍

A beautiful little space for two or three adults, except it wasn't thoroughly cleaned. I would stay again, but would bring my own cleaning supplies.

The condo is situated in a perfect place, north of all the hustle and bustle. It is right across the street from the bird, alligator and turtle Sanctuary. Quiet neighbors and area, however still walkable to most everything. The beach is only a half block away thru the condo buildings, so felt secure. Added plus, two heated pools to enjoy, right outside the condo. Condo was a good size for two or four people. It has a nice size bathroom. It is in the second floor. Would stay there again.
