My birthday getaway!
This trip was for my 60th birthday. The property was just as listed. Work was being done on the immediate beach access but the next closest access was just a few feet away…. Not a big deal at all and the property owner notified me beforehand…really enjoyed this property… the only issue we had was the dehumidifier in the unit…. Didn’t know it had one & the unit stopped running…. Took a little while but finally figured out how to empty it…. Had to empty it about 2X/day, but after we figured that out it was not a big deal….location was ideal…. Definitely will consider this place again if/when I get to go back!

We love this condo. It’s our second time staying in this condo host is great you really couldn’t ask for anything more we’ve been staying at the Tiki resort now for eight years every summer we do a family trip to South Padre in the future. This condo is going to be our thought out condo if available.

Yearly Family vacation
Have been staying at this condo for a few years now and have always been happy with our stay. The condo is beautifully decorated and updated. The owner is very nice and responds immediately to any questions I might have. In addition, it's a beach front condo--the property is also nicely landscaped. Love it!

Beautiful condo with amazing views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beachfront condo. The unit was extremely comfortable with plenty of seating and comfortable beds and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need. Being able to sit beachfront on the porch was such a perk. We will definitely be coming back!!!!!

Good stay overall.
Location is perfect and condo had everything we needed. Parking was hit or miss, I regularly saw non Tiki vehicles parked. Our only complaint was someone sprayed black WD in the key hole. When we used the key it came out all black and greasy. My wife did not notice and it stained her purse. The second key did not work. I messaged Bill and there was no response. I was not expecting to be reimbursed for a new purse but at least a sorry would have been nice. Instead I got radio silence and no response. Very disappointing.

Very nice, except for bunk room/office
Lovely condo, right on the beach, updated and nicely furnished. Being on the ground floor there was a lot of foot traffic, so no privacy on the patio. We did miss a place to store food (no pantry) and don't think it's safe to let people sleep in the bunk room as there is no emergency exit: what looks like a window in the picture is actually a mirror.

Beach week
Second trip to S. Padre and it did not disappoint. First time traveling to the beach and this far with our Labradoodle, Tanner. This location worked well. Pet area near by for potty breaks. Rental itself was very cute and you could see it had been recently updated. Super cute inside and gorgeous ocean view complete with the perfect sunrise. Couldn’t ask for more, thanks to the owners for sharing their wonderful beach front home with us. Loved it!!

Annual April Respite - We Love It!
We have made this property our annual post tax season getaway as my wife is a tax accountant. This was our 3rd year at this condo and it never disappoints. It is clean, always refreshed, well appointed and you just can’t beat the location and proximity to the beach. This has become of our favorite get-aways every year. We’ll be back next year for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Barb Bartell

Host profile image
Married for 40 years and three kids later, Barb and I have always enjoyed the beach. Our kids completely agree! It doesn't matter if we are relaxing in the sun, having a good meal, or participating in activities, we prefer to do it on a beach. The kids have varied interests and are much more active than mom or dad. South Padre offers something for each of us individually and one of our favorite places to make memories and establish traditions.

We enjoy spending time with our family and friends!

Why they chose this property

Barb and I first vacationed in South Padre in 1988, and we fell in love with this hidden gem. In 2013 we had a family vacation in South Padre, with some special friends who introduced us to the Tiki Condominium location, which was a dream come true. It was a combination of owners, staff, conditions of the complex, beachfront, and location near activities and restaurants that made our decision to own here easy.

We hope everyone who stays in our condo, whether for a few days or months, will leave with the same love for South Padre Island as we have.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the beautiful views of the beach and sounds of the ocean from our balcony. There's nothing quite like enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony watching the waves roll in before anyone else is up! Likewise, we have a perfect view of the fireworks offered at Claytons on Friday and Saturday nights (if we choose). We love having friends join us for this special experience. The beach is just steps away, and the option to enjoy one of our two tropical pools makes this a relaxing and memorable vacation stay.
