Great place to stay if you are looking for convenient access to and from the beach. Walking distance to next door Bar Louie and Claytons. We always enjoy the views & weekend fireworks from the Tiki Ocean Front Condos.

This was an amazing beachfront condo. Nestled perfectly seaside overlooking Clayton’s Beach Pier. Such a spectacular view and the condo itself was very well kept with most everything needed for our 4 nights away from home! It was also close to good food, entertainment and souvenir shops. KIC’s Ice Cream was very refreshing.

Perfect location towards the end of the strip. Gorgeous view and just a few steps to the beach. Very clean, condo has a little bit everything needed for your home away from.

Beach front is a must.

We usually stay at the Tiki's every year, but never had we stayed in a beach front. Oh my God, beach front is the way to go. To be able to sit on the balcony, drink coffee while listening to the waves and watching the Sunrise is so breathe taking. Very peaceful and relaxing. This unit had everything you needed. We will definitely rent this unit in the future.

Amazing!

This was our first trip to South Padre Island. We were lucky enough to have rented an oceanfront unit from Karen at The Tiki condo complex. She contacted us upon arrival to ensure all was in order, which was really nice. The condo was very tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. I encourage anyone who is looking for an oceanfront vacation rental to contact this owner! Thank you so much! Pam and Mike

Mesmerizing view of beach

Very nice upscale, modern and clean. Splendid views of sunrises and very relaxing sitting on 3rd floor balcony watching and listening to the surf. Condo inside is very quiet and have all the needed amenities. Just a few steps from the clean well patrolled beach where you can use provided chairs and cover or rent some for the day already setup. Small pet friendly with good rules. Stairs only which can be a little tiresome for seniors. Good wifi with Smart TVs. Some outdoor construction going on but was not intrusive. Breach maint shut down much of the beachfront but luckily only on the morning we left. Great mild weather and light crowds in late October. Loved the stay.

Can’t beat the location—always clean and nicely appointed. TIki condos are safe and clean also as a location. Best place to stay in SPI we are repeat visitors to Karen’s condo. Highly recommend. This time we used the telescope to look at the stunning Harvest full moon as it rose over the Gulf

Perfect condo with views that can't be beat and a host that responds very quickly on everything. The beach is right there with also rentals for umbrellas/chairs and outdoor bars close by for absolute convenience. Plus, it just a short walk to access that part of the beach for those who just want to be alone with the sand and waves. Our second time at the condo and won't be our last.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Smith

Host profile image
We enjoy coming to the Island to kick back and relax. Eveyone on the Island is so friendly. The beach is great. The restaurants have good food, entertainment, and great service.

Why they chose this property

We love being directly on the beach. The Tiki is as close to the beach as it gets without getting your feet wet. We also love the relaxed atmosphere on the island. There are shuttles available from both Brownsville and Harlingen airports, making for a convenient trip.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balcony are what sold us on this condo. You cannot get any closer to the water. We love to sit and watch the kiteboarders, the kids playing on the beach, and watching skydivers land on the beach next door.
