Me and my family had a beautiful stay here at spi. The house was clean and stocked with everything you would need. The ac worked great and it was very comfortable. The location is key! Literally a quick walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

Comfortable space, and furniture -some of our stays, the furniture has been more about looks than comfort, this was very comfortable.
It’s a little tricky locking the front door. You have to pull quite firmly before it will lock, As the bolt hits the jamb. The door handle has some corrosion from the salt air, it sliced my finger locking the door. You might have someone run some emory paper over that, otherwise, great stay, very close to the beach super relaxing! Thanks!

We for the most part enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean. The door handle was sharp and rusted which caused cuts on my hands any time I opened or closed the door. Salt air will cause that, so be careful. There is no towel exchange so you have to wash the bath towels. You can always bring your own extra towels to avoid this issue. We did not bring a pet. Although poop bags were provided people did not pick up after their pets. You might want to choose a "no pets allowed" property to avoid stepping in poop.

Good budget friendly place to stay with a pet that met our needs just fine. The only complaint I had was it was not as clean as I would have liked (towels in the bathroom had obviously been used to dry hands and not replaced, and had stains on them.) Other than that everything else was great. Just steps from the beach, quiet at night, decently comfortable bed, ect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place on a budget.

Overall, very nice older condo - needs some modern updating in kitchen. My major approval factor was the closeness to the beachfront, which was so wonderful! My major concern and have discussed this with the owner, is that this condo needs to be updated to a keyless entry- not using the 1 key that was provided for 4 people. Key management, with 2 teens was difficult! If key issue was resolved, would make it a super VRBO rental!

Comfortable one bedroom/one bath condo with beach access a few feet away. Nothing fancy but was perfect for my little family who wanted a mini getaway to rest and relax all day on the beach. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

I have to admit, I 100% underestimated South Padre. We are Destin beach people, and this was a first for us. But I quickly found that SPI has so much to offer. The condo and it’s location made it even better. So very clean. Everyone had their own space. Our king size bed was very comfy. The pool area was beautiful. We did laundry every day so unpacking hopefully will be a breeze. The short walk to the beach is nice! I love seeing all the dogs on the beach. The owners are extremely nice and very communicative. We would stay here again. We have zero complaints. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.

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!

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.

Jim and Jackie have a cozy condo that contains everything you need to feel right at home. My son and I had never been to South Padre Island and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The shower had great water pressure and the bed was super soft. We had two TVs so we could both watch what we wanted without disturbing each other. There was plenty of room for just the two of us and we were extremely comfortable. The Tiki has an amazing heated pool only steps from the door. The proximity to the beach was absolutely heaven. I could sit on the front porch and listen to the stress slip away as the ocean waves were so soothing. I hope to be allowed back for a return visit. You cannot rent a nicer place in the area:)

I am a little late in reviewing my stay. We stayed in March. This is a perfect rental. It had everything we needed, was clean and well taken care of. It was just steps from the beach and we loved the heated pools. We are hoping to return to this wonderful place. Owners are very responsive and nice. We hope it will not be long before we can return.

Loved the proximity of this condo to the beach. The bed was extremely comfortable and in addition to a couch and love seat, there were two recliners. A beach umbrella was even included! We will definitely stay here again!

It's all about the location, folks!! We were 2 senior ladies who had never been to SPI before. Finding Jim & Jackie's Tiki condo unit was one of the best things about our trip. We were there the weekend after Labor Day, so it wasn't as crowded as it normally would have been. The location was fantastic...truly just steps from the beach...& parking right near the door, which was a major benefit. You can hear the waves & see the most amazing sunrises from the patio. It was great to have Bar Louie's restaurant (inside Courtyard/Marriott) & beachfront bar, as well as Clayton's, just a few steps down the beach. The condo was clean & had most everything we needed. Fortunately, after reading reviews, I had brought extra toilet paper, kleenex, & soap for the bathroom & shower. Otherwise there was none, except for 2 rolls of toilet paper for 2 adults for 5 nights & 4&1/2 days. (We probably could have contacted the housekeeper for this but chose not to.) The unit was comfortable & had everything else we needed. The location of the unit made beach access, parking, & access to condo a breeze. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this unit again & highly recommend it. We found the owners responsive & helpful.

The condo was everything we expected and more! It was in a great location and just a short walk to the beach. It was a short drive to local restaurants, stores and other establishments. The owners supplied pretty much everything we needed to stay there and we would definitely recommend this place.

I have always stayed in hotels. I will definitely never do that again. The apartment was clean and beautiful. Was so easy having access to a full kitchen. They even have left things for our family to use at beach. Just kindly asked to clean after use. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to south padre. I loved sitting on patio listening to the gulf at night. Thank you so much Jim and Jackie for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was a very nice much needed vacation.

Great condo
This was a great condo that fit the needs of our family of 4 and dogs for Memorial Day weekend. The location was great, and 2 pull out sofas let the teens each have their own bed. Great supplies in the kitchen. There were only 2 trash bag liners, and no soap in the shower. Other than that, it was a wonderful condo,
