Stayed Oct 11, 2025Our primary reason for renting Riki Tiki was for the location and the property doesn’t disappoint there. The cottage is feet from the beach and it’s amazing and convenient. The back deck was also great for watching the waves and seeing the stars at night.Beyond the location, the property has serious shortcomings. It’s very small and while there is a kitchen, there is almost no counter space since the stacked washer and dryer is in the kitchen too.The most significant issue was cleanliness and the quality of the furnishings. The house was dirty and many portions of it clearly hadn’t been cleaned in many months. We even found scattered belongings from previous renters under the beds. We had a serious odor problem in the main bathroom when we checked in and we’ll give credit to the leasing company for responding quickly and effectively. That said, there was no way the cleaning people could have missed the very bad odor coming from the bathroom which questions how detailed of a cleaning job they did.Overall, most accessories were poor quality. Kitchen utensils were old and some are broken and appliances were clearly inexpensive. Even the shower curtains were the inexpensive vinyl plain types you’d have in college. We understood that with a cottage, we were getting a small space, which was fine with us, but we didn’t expect the amenities to be so lacking in quality.A very minimal investment in small upgrades could make a big difference with this property.

Stayed May 17, 2025This was our 4th year at the Riki Tiki. We have 3 kids (ages 6, 4, & 2). The fact that it is right on the ocean and super quiet at night are just a couple reasons why it’s the perfect vacation house for a young family. It gives us the opportunity to stay out on the beach longer and more frequently. This house is no frills.. super simple layout, however has everything we need for a whole week. We cooked every meal in the tiny little kitchen (you have to get creative with counter space) without going out to eat once. With that said, it’s an older house that could use some work. Some decking boards are loose/exposed nails, kitchen sink faucet wobbly, and overall cleanliness was lacking this time around. There was sand and crumbs all around, dirty windows, killed 4 cockroaches, dirty drawers in dressers in bedrooms, broken fan chains on all ceiling fans… Although we wish to see better care taken on the house, the location is great and the sound of ocean waves kept us sleeping very well every night. I’m going to miss my long sunrise walks along the shore. Thank you Riki tiki for our relaxing annual beach trip!!

Stayed May 18, 2024Great place to stay. Only issue was my 84 yr old mom had some issues going up and down the stairs. But she loved being on the beach and able to relax.

Stayed May 25, 2024The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We have a 3 and 1 year old so being right on the beach was perfect. I watched the sunrise every morning on the beach while the kids slept in. We loved staying here so much and hopefully will again!!

Stayed Mar 22, 2024We had a great time, we saw dolphins from the decks. The kids searched for crabs with flashlights. A lot of shell searching and even found a couple shark teeth. Thank you for allowing us to visit your sweet town.
