Being one of the few vacation rentals on Tiki Island, Tiki Hideaway will give you a rare opportunity to get away from it all and real with loved ones in style. This home is perched right on the canal which will make for a relaxing setting to sip a cocktail on the deck or cup of coffee each morning before venturing out. The interior of this home is fun and eclectic, as every room has unique wallpaper and decor to give each space a new feel. Not to mention, the fully equipped kitchen boasts intricate tile, all of the major appliances needed for preparing tasty recipes, and plenty of room for multiple cooks to show off their skills. If you are looking for a more casual option, fire up the gas grill on the shaded lower patio and cook up some burgers. Don't worry about leaving the furry members of the family at home, as this getaway is dog-friendly!

Quick Business trip
The property was really nice and very spacious. The kitchen was perfect for having meals and the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and perfect. It was a perfect location. The only one thing I would want for the future would be a gas grill rather than the charcoal grill, but otherwise it was perfect.

Great little house!
We actually stayed in this house a few years ago and were pleasantly surprised with the upgrades they have made to the kitchen. New countertops, new paint, and new appliances gives it a fresh new look! Although the decor in the rest of the house is a little outdated (but who cares), it is clean, spacious, comfortable and perfect for a little getaway. We went over Christmas so the tree and decorations were a lovely touch! “Tis’ the SEAson” I would definitely stay here again!

Clean and comfortable but needs updating.
We enjoyed our stay, and the house was clean and comfortable. There is a number of areas of the house that need to be fixed or updated. List of items were sent to owner for possible review and action. Would like to stay again in our next visit and see the progress of this house that has great potential.

The Hide away
The home was rundown, many items broken or rotted completely. Items include broken toilet seats, leaking roof, exposed electrical shock hazard, broken mirror, active roaches, down stairs bar was a disaster, nasty leaking shower heads, no wifi access, and worst of all the coffee maker didn't work!!! I will never rent a home through here again. I contacted management and all I got was a sorry we will fix it. I have pictures which were submitted to management.

Location was great - NOTHING else was
This house may have been generally “wiped down”, but it was definitely not clean. We had to scrub every single dish we used because all of them were dirty. The master bathtub has soap scum all over it and so did all the shower heads. The stairs that enter into the living room were swaying back and forth the entire time so we needed up having to solely use the stairs by the kitchen. Then upon leaving, there was a construction crew that showed up to FIX the stairs leading to the living room. If you all KNEW they were unsafe, why in the world would you allow us on them and not rope them off - especially as we were traveling with a child. The mirrored doors in the master bath was broken, the blinds in the living room were broken. The ad made it seem like there was a 4th bedroom and there wasn’t. The sleeping arrangements were pretty exaggerated in my opinion. You should be open on the listing that the “extra” queen bed is the living room pull out sofa. The location was the ONLY thing that made this even remotely worth it.

Nice getaway
No problems with check in. Vacasa sent many updates and all the info we needed. The house is very clean. Its three bedrooms...one large master downstairs and a half bath and two small bedrooms with Jack n Jill setup upstairs. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is nice, but there are ants in the kitchen and in the outside kitchen area. The location of the house is nice...it's at the end of the canal and in quiet area. There is a house under construction next door but we barely heard the construction noise. We brought a boat and were expecting to use the slip, but there is a boat already there (we think its the owners). I texted the local manager asking if it could be moved-no response so we just tied up next to the dock. Tiki island is really nice residential place, quiet and clean. There are a few minor repairs needed to some cabinet doors, and the decor is old fashion homey, but who cares about decor when everything else is great. We enjoyed the house and do recommend it.

Okay stay but property condition not quite as pictures showed
The property is at a great location, right on the canals and right next to Galveston island. The neiborhood feels safe and quiet, and the rooms are reasonably clean. However, I do hope to note a few things that would make me consider before booking the property again in the future: 1. The interior is notably dimmer than the pics shown. 2. The leather sofa set (master bedroom and 2 pieces in living room) are older than in the pics and honestly look dirty, the master living room also had a notable odor as we enter it which was likely from the area rug. 3. The coffee maker needs some thorough cleaning, there's coffee powder remnants floating in the water compartment, and the water intake spot has build-up and notable smell. 4. The property is advertised to sleep 8 but bed space already feels limited for us (5 adults 2 small kids). The 2 queen beds felt more like full size, and the sofa "beds" are not pull-out beds and simply otherwise too short for an adult. 5. There is a big crack on the top section of one of the mirrors in the master bathroom, we were a little concerned it might fall out and had to make sure the kids stayed away from that area. 6. This is probably evident from the pictures but there is no range hood or other types of ventilation in the kitchen, this would be somewhat limiting for those of us who enjoy still being able to cook ourselves when travelling on vacation.

Very disappointed with house and management company
I do not recommend this house to anyone with a boat, people who go barefoot inside the house, people with sensitivity to dust, or people expecting to grill. The listing said there was a gas grill (shown in the pictures located in the garage). However, when we got there, there was no gas grill at all. The management company was informed, but we heard nothing back about it. The listing also said there is a dock we could use for our boat. However, upon arrival, we found the boat lift was not functioning and the straps were raised so that we could not put our boat in the slip and had to tie up to the outside of the dock. We contacted the management company several times with both phone and text, but were never able to speak to anyone who could help us with this problem. The black covering on the steps and upstairs deck discolors shoes, and everyone’s crocs ended up completely black on the bottom. Normally we use (non-marking) crocs on our boat, but because of the discoloration were unable to do so without leaving our boat filthy. The floors inside the house needed to be mopped. Everyone was barefoot in the house, and within half an hour, all the soles of our feet were black. The refrigerator smelled of fish. There is a lot of breakables and picture frames on the tables and dressers throughout the house. This meant there wasn’t a lot of free space to put our belongings on, and lots of places for dust to collect. The house in general is a darker than the photos on the listing lead you to believe. The master bedroom is very dark because the hurricane shutters are down and could not be raised.

Great place on Tiki Island!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There aren't many places you can rent on Tiki Island but this one has become our favorite. I have stayed here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The master bedroom/bathroom is certainly interesting but there is a TON of room and it is a great space. The living room and kitchen are all you need. The upstairs bedrooms are small but good enough and they share a nice bathroom. There is a huge deck outside and a boat slip and dock area to hang out and fish. There are some great fishing areas close by if you have a boat. We actually got to meet the owners and they are fantastic people. Highly recommend this house for families and fisherman.

Neat house, falling apart
House was in a great area/neighborhood and had an old school feel. Good dock to fish off of. A/C was not working upstairs and felt like a sauna for the entire stay. No water pressure in the showers. Toilets downstairs in master backed up. Roaches running through living room. Ants at our food in the kitchen on the first night.

A cozy classic
Spacious and cozy home. The kitchen sink did not work but it didn't matter. We enjoyed the quiet community, the comfortable home and all the classic decor. Be careful walking on the 2nd level deck barefoot, your feet will turn black, BUT, it was soft and better than worrying about splinters from a wood deck. Thank you for your hospitality.
