The condo was more than I expected. It is way larger than it appears in pictures. The heated pools were very nice to have during a March visit.

Tiki rental 10/24-11/03 2023
Not sure what was wrong but could not use either TV. Tried asking front desk for help but as this is a privately owned unit they could not. I tried finding management company’s info to ask for help to join avail. My Family was not at all happy with no TV. Dark and dreary in unit. I suggest trying to lighten the place up somehow. Beds were very nice to me, but all others disagreed. Overall nice place but again you must leave contact information for management. Thank you.

I'm wondering if your review is about another stay, your rental dates were 10/28-11/3/23. About your review, our contact info is listed on the VRBO site and app and available as soon as you book the dates. You can also email us through the booking site to ask questions or concerns. We have no calls, emails, or messages sent to us about any issues. The front office is super helpful when it comes to assisting our guests so their stay is smooth. The office priority is to help with issues like these because owners get charged for this service so if they denied helping you, you could have called us to make sure things were fixed for you. A cold front entered midway through your stay, it's possible the cable got interrupted for a few hours. We provide more than 100 DVD and Blu-ray movies for you to play when this happens. We also provide wifi for you to use with your devices. The tv/cable remote can be confusing, it has two power buttons, one button is for the cable power and the other for the tv. Both power buttons have to be "on" to see cable channels. We are sorry you were not liking the weather change and having to stay inside (everything fun is outside) feeling bored. unfortunately, we can not control the weather but we do provide you with games for all ages, video games and toys for the kids, plus movies to play when things like these happen.

This condo could not have been more perfect!!! Location is superb!!! The other tenants in the complex were great! Made quite a few friends. All of our needs were met and then some. The beds were sooo comfortable, the balcony was our favorite coffee and meal spot. We ended every night with a cocktail out there. We will definitely be back, though we generally switch it up each year. Thank you for sharing your property, we made many memories!

Easy walk to the beach!
We celebrated my 50th Birthday with our adult kids and a few of their friends. We had plenty of space and never ran out of hot water for showers. However, we were only provided with 1 roll of toilet paper for each bathroom, 1 towel per person, and 1 roll of paper towels. Luckily, we brought beach towels of our own and our own toilet paper. But we still ran out and had to go buy more. For 8 people staying 5 days, I would suggest providing at least 3 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom and a few more rolls of paper towels in the kitchen. We also brought several of our own trash bags, too. The place definitely has some signs of wear and tear - couch in living room was pretty stained (but that's expected near a sandy beach), the bed in the queen room is really scratched up, and there were a few holes in the walls. But the place was cute, spacious, comfortable, and the AC worked well. A doorknob on the front door would have been helpful when we were unloading the car but with just a handle, there had to be someone staying inside to lock it behind us or the door wouldn't stay closed. Or, we always had to lock it with the one key provided and place it in the lockbox. This wasn't a big issue, just a bit inconvenient at times. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found the beds comfortable. It was nice to have a washer/dryer inside the condo to wash our towels. And we loved the beach access right up the street.

Mixed review
All was going well until the we planned an excursion, and the owner decided to spray the property for bugs, which it needed, cause we saw some! We had our dog there, and because they had to reschedule, they charged us an additional $120 fee, then we never saw the bug man. They couldn’t come in with our dog there. They notified us 10 minutes before the exterminator was literally showing up. I won’t be using this owner for anymore VRBO rentals.

Mrs. Arnold was notified of the monthly pest control visit during her stay. She requested for the pest control not to come in during her stay because she was concerned her dog could get sick if it licked the pest solution. We informed her that the pest solution was human and animal safe, and would cause no harm or allergy then was informed the main office charged a rescheduling fee of $120. She agreed & paid it immediately. She also paid an additional $100 Pet fee for the unregistered dog she brought and didn't notify us. All additional charges are listed in the rental agreement, we don't like to interrupt our guests during their stay so we notify them in advance of these visits and respect their choice to reschedule & pay the fee. We will continue to maintain the condo pest-free and allergy-free of pet hair for all our guests. Health & Safety is our priority.

Annual beach trip
Awesome as usual. We try to stay at this very condo at least once a year. The house is so comfortable, great pool, and amazing beach access. The condo itself is always tidy, cozy, and comfy. Plus, we are able to bring our dog which is always nice. Pro tip: we always bring a portable fan as the bedrooms don't stay icy cold (we prefer to sleep *cold*). We will keep coming back for years to come.

Very very short walk to the beach, 2 pools to go to, souvenir store is a 2 min walk. Marriott hotel is next door with bars and restaurant by the beach. Hilton is next one after which has Starbucks. So this 3 bedroom unit was perfect for us!!!! Just make sure to bring beach towels if not then walk to souvenir store Treasure Island!!!!

Nice open space/ comfortable beds
I would recommend this place if you don't mind walking a short distance to the beach. Has a parking lot view, but still pretty. Loved the open space concept for my family of 8. Best part.... the beds are amazing.. not your normal cheap beds. Lots of dogs on property and everyone was friendly. You can only have two parking pass, so if you have more vehicles they will have to park down the street. Overall.. I would return and book again!

Great Condo
My family and I enjoyed our stay over the July 4th weekend. Condo was clean, roomy, and the check-in process was convenient. I also appreciated that pets were allowed and when we needed an additional key, the property manager was very attentive. My only complaint is not about the condo itself, but about the Tiki property’s restrictions. They only allow 1 car to park by your condo and if you have an additional vehicle, that one can only be parked by the property office. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Clean and great location
The property and condo was very clean and wonderful. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our stay. The only complaint that we had is that we had a party of 13 and the office management would only give us 9 bracelets for the pool. The advised us that this condo is not supposed to have that many people in it and that they have told the owner many times. They advised that they would let us stay were it was not our fault but they were not very friendly about it. Everything else was great!

Worse place don’t do it
These people are crooks they will charge you hidden fees and under provide not enough towels plates basic needs like toilet paper 2 TV’s didn’t work. The furniture is stained. You can’t control air conditioning… I said I will bring my dogs I got charged extra with them before and after the trip even they said I didn’t inform them but my bill said I did tell and got charged… after I got hit with additional $300 more. They say you didn’t check in never was told by the owner at the last day at the main office there is a small sign saying tell them about pets yet the front office is no the owner… Left the place spotless sweep and wiped down anything and everything. I noticed the previous reviews had similar issues

Response from VrboOwner on May 13, 2022
I know accepting your deceitful actions is hard and it's easier to call us crooks than to acknowledge that you took 4 dogs to the condo without paying the dog fees. You even had the guts to call VRBO to request a return of your deposit because you had paid the pet fee only to have them confirm you had not paid it. Your $300 deposit covered the $100 pet fee of EACH DOG (you still owe us $100) and have nothing to do with leaving it "clean" at check-out. You also broke the renter's agreement of maximum 2 pets by bringing in 4 and thinking no one was going to know. We take the pet fee to cover the special cleaning of the condo and change of AC filter before the next incoming renter in order to protect them from having an allergic reaction to pet hair etc.. We are proud to say we have excellent reviews about the condo being always clean and when we are notified of any furniture that is permanently stained, it is immediately ordered so that it can be replaced as soon as possible to offer our guest the best vacation experience. About the AC, it is not a smart thermostat (controlled), you can change it manually to your preferred temperature or call the main office to have them send someone from maintenance to show you how to do it.

Management is HORRIBLE
The property was good....location was great....Manager of this property was the absolute WORST! Upon arrival everything was fine. We received notice of a water turn off in the morning however so I washed our personal laundry then the provided towels while my clothes dried. After a day on the island- I went to switch out my clothes to find the dryer barely working. After 3 cycles- I switched to the towels that my entire party needed for morning. I woke up every hour for SIX HOURS to get them dry. I also messaged the manager to please provide new towels in the morning since the appliance was not functioning as well as toilet paper since we started with 2 half rolls only. She didn't respond for 14 hours then said sorry...I won't help you. They apparently don't exchange towels- however this SHOULD have been a special circumstance. I then went to the office who called that same manager and she again told them not to assist me. I asked for her manager and she said to go to the coin operated laundry to pay for the amenities I already paid for and waste another 3 and a half hours to monitor washing of their towels. I saved the communication because I was mortified that a property "manager" would allow guests to interact their vacation so readily by their unmaintained issue. And seriously could not care less that it was a huge inconvenience. I paid a premium amount for this stay and she treated me so unprofessionally that I could NEVER recommend this property or ANY that she "manages" knowing thst is you have ANY concern that she absolutely WILL NOT make ANY effort to make it right. By the time she messaged me all of the inappropriate responses- she could have brought the towels and toilet paper. She made the conscious choice to provide the WORST service possible. You should be ashamed to have representatives that care so little about guests or your brand. Do better in the future and find someone that actually cares AT ALL about making guests feel welcome!

Seven months ago we replaced the washer/dryer and it burned out 2 days before your vacation dates, we apologize for this unforeseen occurrence. We ordered a new one again and I hope it comforts you to know that it has now been replaced for the use of our future renters. We suggested you use the complex's dryers so that your towels be dry for your use but you got offended by this, we can not take them and dry them for you to prevent you from the possibility of virus contamination. We provided you will a towel for each guest in the reservation and we don't provide additional towels unless they are damage and need replacement. My manager was always in contact with you through your stay but you were never happy or pleased about the assistance. Also your rental rate was NOT premium rate, you paid our low season special of $69 per night. We offer the same quality rental service to a low or high season rate reservation and we go the extra mile when renters make special requests in advance and try to please as much as possible such as getting wine, flowers etc. for honeymooners or request vehicle permits for late arrivals and set them on the counter etc.. You were a last minute booking and we would of gladly worked with you if you had requested us more towels a week in advance, so as you can see there was no way we could have pleased you. As for toiletries, we provide you with complimentary items while you go shopping for your vacation hygiene needs. This was stated in the renter's agreement you read and signed when booking the dates, we are not a hotel.

Property looked very nice
The condo looked very nice but unfortunately we were not able to make the trip due to an illness. Even though I knew when I booked the stay that it was non-refundable I contacted the property manager and they seemed very accommodating. They offered to allow us to book the property for another time within six months which I thought was very generous and I appreciated it so much. A short time later I received another message telling me I only had until the end of the day to book another stay. It was not possible for all four of us to clear our work schedules with only a few hours notice. But since it was a non-refundable booking I did appreciate the offer but it was unrealistic to plan a 3 night stay again by the end of the day
