It is located away from Clayton’s Beach Bar and construction of the new Marriott Hotel. Our Direct BeachFront Tiki#234 Condo has the best beach views on SPI. NOT just a partial beach view from a beachfront complex, we have SPECTACULAR full-views of the Gulf of Mexico. Both master bedroom and living room open to 20 ft balcony through new sliding patio doors that keep the unit quiet. One flight of stairs to peace and privacy with a direct panoramic view of the ever-changing Gulf of Mexico.

The best thing about this condo was that it was facing the beautiful Gulf and it allowed dogs. You could walk downstairs and be on the beach. Unfortunately, it was really dirty and gross; mold was in the bathroom, human hairs everywhere on the floor, linens weren’t clean, and the furniture was really old, worn, and stained. I read in the description that it had been remodeled, but it looked like it had been many, many years ago. Clayton’s and the Marriott next door were loud in the evenings, which was not what I understood from the description.

Location is prime for beach experience. Next to Bar Louie and Clayton's is convenient for food and drinks while at the beach during the day. Had front row patio view for weekend fireworks at Bar Louie pier. Overall condo was good except for living room sofa bed & recliners. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable and probably ready for a replacement and some electrical plugs weren't working properly. Everything else was good as advertised.

We came to unwind and enjoy ourselves. I had a family member die in December, and I have another relative with a terminal disease. It was nice to escape the real world and enjoy the sun, sea, and the crashing waves.

That about sums up the reason to stay at this condo….Great View…the place is old and if cleaned properly it would be a nice place to stay…the worst was having filthy floors in every room! We arrived when it was raining so we took our shoes off in condo and our socks where filthy within minutes of inspecting the area…I have no idea what Covid clean is but it ain’t what we walked into especially the bathroom…the kitchen faucet doesn’t swivel and is therefore stuck between the sink…just a few of the complaints..it rained almost all of our time there so we were stuck in a moldy smelling condo (you are not allowed to leave sliding doors open and have to keep a/c on even when it’s colder outside) not sure why that is? Don’t like leaving on a negative so I will repeat the condo has a Great View.

Condo is not fancy or contemporary but it is comfortable, had everything we needed, and best of all for us, was very close to the beach. We got to watch the sunrise from our balcony and the fireworks on Friday and Saturday. We had a lovely stay.

Can't get any closer to the beach. Facing East, bright and hot on the balcony in the morning but afternoon/evening very nice. Despite two major bars next door, they are on the North side and this condo is on the South so heard nothing. It's an older place but nice. Really only in it for sleeping and breakfast.

Great location right on the beach with great view of beach from balcony. Good parking. Fireworks from hotel next door from adjacent pier! Plenty of storage and space. Felt homey.

I cleaned the property before we left and it was left as clean or cleaner than when we arrived. Disabled wife had spiked chocolate ice cream in the bed which I didn’t catch. ( my mistake) The owner claimed it was dog puke ( no dog) and claimed the condo was trashed. I was charged 200$. Didn’t mind paying for any ruined bedding but false allegations were concerning.

This property is one of a dozen or so that face the beach, very rare and fun! It is on the second level which is also a plus.
Living space is less than 1000 sq feet but is as advertised, a comfortable place to stay.
Overall is in a great location with bars/restaurants next door.
We will definitelyp stay here again!

Wow! We loved everything about our stay here! The view and sound of the gulf is worth it all by itself, but there was so much more. We made good use of the beach equipment- chairs and umbrella. The air conditioning was so great and comfortable, though the breeze from the water makes the deck comfortable throughout the day. The bed is so comfortable! This is the first bed other than my own that let me sleep all night! The condo is clean, quiet, and well-stocked. We felt so relaxed and cannot wait to go back!

I planned this trip pretty much last minute amid the COVID 4th wave. There weren’t a lot of choices for those who have to bring dogs, but I was the lucky one that this property was available!! This unit has a beautiful 2nd floor view directly on the beach!! The unit is very clean and has a wonderfully stocked kitchen, maying it easy to make delicious meals. The pull out full size couch bed was perfect for my 16yr old son, while my husband and I enjoyed the king in the bedroom. There are 2 comfortable recliners, with a roomy living room for a one bedroom. The bathroom was super clean and had plenty of room!! The double deck was the most used area with counter height outdoor deck chairs that were perfect for sitting outside, enjoying the Friday and Saturday night fireworks, plus partaking in your favorite beverage! Tiki is right next door to the Courtyard Marriott with Bar Louis and Claytons, so food and drinks are within walking distance. Plenty of grassy areas for walking and allowing your pups to potty. Then the extra bonus is the extremely friendly and helpful Tiki staff!! We would stay here again without hesitation!!
