Perfect for couples
This condo was perfect for me & my husband. We only planned to stay 4 days but ended up staying 1 extra day so wecould actually enjoy the beach. Went the 3rd week of March & it was very chilly. The condo was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed. Check in was easy & beach was jut a few steps away. We will definitely rent this unit again!

Very nice but too close to the action
Very clean, great decor, immaculate grounds and awesome sunrise views but too close to Bar Louie. Bands and DJ's every night of our stay until late at night provided no privacy. Open the curtains and the whole bar is looking at you.

Great location & clean
It is a great location with an ocean view. The host was quick to respond to questions. Very clean and although pet friendly, it did not smell like dogs at all. Loved the chairs on the balcony to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee.

This was our first visit to South Padre Island & we had a great time. The condo was wonderful and was decorated so beautifully- it felt like a dear friend had let us use their much loved beach condo. We loved the Gulf view from the patio, the easy access to the beach and pools for swimming. We also loved that side of SPI that’s a little peaceful! We loved it and would love to come back.

Comfy and Relaxing!
Amazing place! Beautifully decorated, you know you’re at the beach right when you walk into the calm, clean space. Well supplied kitchen if you want to skip going out to the packed restaurants. Good size rooms for lounging in after a day in the sun and great balcony for enjoying a coffee in the morning, or wine in the evening, to watch the waves roll in. Will definitely be visiting and staying here again!

The Tiki condominiums were very easy to find. The location was accurate in stating just feet from the beach. The Bartell’s condo was clean and had all the necessities of home. Beautifully furnished(pictures need to be updated). Bill was very responsive and communicated with me intermittently to ensure my family’s stay was going well. Highly recommend!!!
