Fine stay until we found out that we were charged for damages that we did not do. Do not trust the owner Art Conales. He will keep your damage deposit and charge your insurance. You may find mold in the apartment. The Tiki in general is a great place to stay.

The condo was nice and clean and I felt safe while there. I didn't realize that there was a private area leading to the beach at first and it was a really nice discovery. The staff maintained the grounds so it was always clean and welcoming. Nice discovery... the little library for the owners and guests with a large variety of books and puzzles. This is going to be my go to place at SPI from now on.

We were really happy with this place and would stay here again! Pros: -Easy walk through the complex to the beach -Master closet big enough for our pack-n-play -Very Clean (I was scared to book because I didn't want a pet friendly place) -Pool right next to the room and it was warm. -Super nice to be able to park so close to a nice beach and not have to worry about parking! -Fireworks on the beach on weekend nights because we came during summer (thanks to the Marriott) Cons: -The pullout twin bed was fine for my 4 year old but wouldn't be good for an adult (there was an inflatable matress that we didn't use that I am sure would be better for a larger person) -There was only hand soap provided- no toiletries or shower soap (the towels were super soft and wonderful though) -There wasn't dish soap or a sponge or brush for dishes (it was fine for us because we used the dishwasher and cooked minmally- but had we cooked meat or something I wouldn't have felt comfortable) -it smelled a tiny bit of smoke when we got there (it is a smoke free place but there are people in the condos who smoke- I didn't notice it after the first night so maybe it was a fluke. -Not the owners fault- There was a lot of tar on the beach that got on our feet and shoes- so keep your eye out

Lovely condo.. I rented two condos at the tiki for our family trip.. 2 of my grandchildren and myself were very comfortable in this condo. Loveseat turned into bed and huge king size bed in bedroom. Few items needed attention and I advised owner. Beautiful condo.

The Tiki property is beautifully landscaped, and extremely well maintained. There are two pools, plenty of "doggie" areas, and parking. Art Canales was a gracious host. The condo is extremely comfortable, and well decorated. There is a full kitchen with everything you need for cooking. The bedroom has a king size bed with plenty of fluffy pillows. Oh...and a TV, of course. There is a large walk in closet with plenty of storage, and a washing machine (coin laundry on property) I used the coin dryers ($2.50/one hr)and they were clean and dried my entire load in 30 min. I have stayed in several condos here on South Padre Island, and some were good, but none that I can say I would return to. I will be coming back here for sure. I had a wonderful & peaceful week. No need to look anywhere else. Thanks to the Canales's for being great hosts.

Unit even more spectacular than the photos showed! Art was very prompt, patient & professional in his responses to my inquiries. We extended our trip one more day and needed a place to stay. The unit we were staying, at another property, was horrible and we did not want to pay another cent over there. Searched VRBO for another vacancy elsewhere and we saw this unit. Check in is at 4pm, but knowing that we checked out of the previous unit at 10am, and we were without a place with a car packed with travel gear, Art extended the courtesy of allowing us to check in much, much earlier. Place was impeccable and beautiful! Property owner demonstrated excellent customer service skills! This will now become our place to rent at SPI when it’s just two of us traveling down there! Our one night stay was A++++++++++++++++ Thanks Art!

The grounds were immaculate, the condo was very clean and just an all around good experience. Art was very responsive with any questions I had prior to our stay. I highly recommend #109 at the Tiki. You will love it!

Very clean and cozy. Very close to the beach but not on it like the picture shows. Was allowed in before check in which was great. Only a couple complaints. The furniture is very sparse and what is there is very uncomfortable. Although the space is limited, it could have a smaller dining table to allow for a couch or love seat. Also, shower was not great as it is an overhead rain type shower head that is pretty strong. It will sleep three, but heaven help the unlucky soul that gets to sleep on the pull out. Their spine will never forgive them. Happy with location and price and the host was great. Would recommend.
