Beach view was just as indicated. Everything you could need was available. Check in was simple and the host communication was great. This was the a great place to stay. I will definitely stay again.
This is our second year, fantastic place, hope to be back again next spring! Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a two week stay. Balcony is a favorite spot for sure! Easy walk or bus ride to everything island has to offer.
The condo was perfect in every way! It was very clean and delightfully decorated. The bed was very comfortable with a great view of the Gulf. Watching the sunrise with Coffee on the balcony was a special treat. The kitchen was great also. Everything was top notch. Karen has thought of everything. The beach chairs, umbrella and wagon were also very much appreciated. Last, but not least is that Karen was extremely responsive and made sure that I had made it into the condo easily with very clear directions. She made the whole process very easyEverything went very smoothly. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
The view from the balcony was great. The condo is very clean, stuffed with everything you might need for cooking and beach. All appliances worked just fine. We liked the heated pool in the courtyard. The hostess is one of the best I had , and I used Virbo for years. Karen is easy-going, quick to respond and goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests.
It was a beautiful beach front condo. Enjoyed our stay! Only issue we had was the hair dryer didn't work. The owner was on vacation, so not able to fix. We just went and bought one.
The host was very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The condo was just right for my husband and I and allowed us a very private vacation, often we had the pool to ourselves and an amazing view of the beach every day.
We've stayed at this property before and really enjoyed it. But we got off to a rough start as there was a miscommunication between the owner and her cleaning staff. We got a text telling us that the condo would be available at 1:30 but when we arrived at 4pm it had not been cleaned. A text to Karen put things in motion immediately and her staff had it cleaned in a few hours. It was a Sunday and they drove from Brownsville.Karen very graciously discounted our charge by one night. We had our dog with us and were able to find a restaurant nearby where she could sit on the deck with us. We will definitely stay there again.
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.
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
Clean condo with spectacular views of the gulf. The balcony is the perfect place to relax and enjoy stunning sunrises. Well-stocked with everything you need to enjoy the beach! Super quiet and well kept common areas. Wonderful communication from host and overall a positive stay. Would definitely return in the future.
The condo is right on the beach with an unobstructed view of the Gulf. Clean and very well furnished. Host responded quickly to questions. Comfortable bed. Close to multiple restaurants. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Smith
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.
