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!

Great Beach Condo!!

My family and I had such a great time in South Padre. We had everything we needed in the condo and absolutely loved the location. Short walk to the beach! This was the perfect place for us. The condo was so clean and comfortable and decorated so nicely. We will definitely be back. The owners have done such a great job with this place. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Barb Bartell

Married for 34 years and three kids later, Bill and Barb have always enjoyed the beach. Our kids completely agree! It doesn't matter if we are relaxing in the sun, having a good meal, or participating in activities, we prefer to do it on a beach. The kids have varied interests and are much more active than mom or dad. South Padre offers something for each of us individually and one of our favorite places to make memories and establish traditions.

We enjoy spending time with our family and friends!

Why they chose this property

Barb and I first vacationed in South Padre in 1988, and we fell in love with this hidden gem. In 2013 we had a family vacation in South Padre, with some special friends who introduced us to the Tiki Condominium location, which was a dream come true. It was a combination of owners, staff, conditions of the complex, beachfront, and location near activities and restaurants that made our decision to own here easy.

We hope everyone who stays in our condo, whether for a few days or months, will leave with the same love for South Padre Island as we have.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the beautiful views of the beach and sounds of the ocean from our balcony. There's nothing quite like enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony watching the waves roll in before anyone else is up! Likewise, we have a perfect view of the fireworks offered at Claytons on Friday and Saturday nights (if we chose). We love having friends join us for this special experience. The beach is just steps away, and the option to enjoy one of our two tropical pools, makes this a relaxing and memorable vacation stay.
