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!

What an amazing place!!! Such an amazing island and the canals and bay are priceless!!! Internet doesn’t work the way they say or at all. Master tv is just for the pictures. House quirky but cute. We genuinely loved every minute.
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 Although the decor in the rest of the house is a little outdated (but who cares), it is clean, spacious, comfortable and perfect for a little getaway.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.

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.
Really nice house to have kids and grandkids for a little summer fun. Fishing the canals, boating, and just relaxing to enjoy each other's company. The only problem we encountered is the listing is for a propane gas grille. The grille is charcoal, and in the garage needing some love. Ended up going to a friend's house to do our outdoor cooking.
