Room was clean. Check in was very long because they were unprepared and didn’t have our paperwork ready. They never told us about the free breakfast. Heard it from other people. Could have used a dehumidifier in the room

Not great
There was a hole in the wall on the bathroom. The return (in the bathroom) was so noisy we had to turn it off to sleep. But when we did the floor outside the bathroom was weirdly wet and cold. Coffee maker worked spotty. Closeness to the beach was great. Checkin was easy but was 3 plus miles away from the room

Overall was an enjoyable trip. Felt a little out of place with our young children by some of the others who stay as it seemed to be primarily a retirement community.

Forty years at the Tiki
I have stayed at the Tiki numerous times over the past 40 years. We love the beach access, pools, and value. This unit was very basic. Mundane furnishings, minimal plates and silverware, limited size saucepans, no pitcher for iced tea, etc. An ok place but not great. Check in process was very annoying. Standing in line at a hotel to get keys at 3 pm only to be told the unit would not be ready for “some time.” I had to wait in line again over an hour later. GET A KEYPAD LOCK! I’ll stay at the Tiki again, just not this unit.

Great beach weekend getaway
We had a nice stay at this beachside condo. There were a few things that we wished had gone a bit smoother, but overall it was a very nice stay and would definitely stay again with these things in mind! Pros: it is fairly close walking distance to the beach and made for nice easy travel to and from the beach. The condo was very clean and the renovation was nicely done. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with most things you’d need. The water filter is a nice touch. The AC works REALLY well. The grounds of the complex are very well kept and the pools were sparkling. Having potty spots that are stocked with poop bags is a definite plus. The shower rinse spot at the gate by the beach was very handy. There are quite a few beachfront bars and restaurants within walking distance just a short walk north on the beach. The downfalls, however minor, still added up to a star deduction.. Cons: the beds, master and pull out couch, are so uncomfortable. After spending long days on the beach neither of them provided much for relaxation. It’s on the second floor which isn’t usually a con for us, but in hotels there’s usually an elevator.. we were so happy we brought our wagon! After having to lug all of our beach gear up and down the stairs, we’ll make sure to reserve a first floor next time. A couple of things we wish we had that weren’t stocked was a baking sheet and paper towels. The tv in the living room could use help on a couple of things—we were never able to get it to work, with the remote or the buttons, and it’s hung in an awful spot. We both hit our heads on it a few times lol. I mentioned the AC worked really well.. maybe a little TOO well. We weren’t able to get it to adjust from 68 cool. We froze our tushes off. And there weren’t any extra blankets which definitely would’ve been nice to have had on hand.. Especially if someone needed to actually sleep on the pull out.. however, I’m sure we could’ve just asked for some but would’ve had to make the walk to the office to get it. Lastly, just be aware that there is a two point check-in process! We hadn’t fully read the email (totally our fault!), so had to turn around and head back to the other end of the island to get our keys after checking in at the complex and receiving our parking pass. So make sure you go to the hotel first to get your keys and then hit up the complex office to get the pass. This two point process could definitely use some improvement.

Great Stay, Great TIme
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and the location was relatively close to the beach. Our only constructive feedback would be to update the door lock to a keypad so we don't have to take a key with us to the beach next time!

Check in is painful making 2 stops. Ad had false advertisement with beac front photo.
Decent. Checking in is painful. 2 stops could be improved. No remote or way to change the living room tv. False advertising the beachfront location. Clean, quiet and we made the best of it. Reasonable price.

Location was good, condo was clean and easily accessible. The only issue was we were told housekeeping would clean the room and replace towels and this was not done.
