Fort Valley GA

The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The bed in master bedroom was very comfortable, probably the best mattress I have slept on in a rental. The kitchen was very limited as for as cooking utensils go but had enough to get by. The air conditioner worked great but you will need to keep the fan on “ON” to get a n even temperature in the bedroom. The balcony was great and had a great view of the beach, we really enjoyed eating breakfast and drinking our coffee in the morning out there. The elevator is slow but worked well. The condo being right on the beach was so nice to be able to go set up our tent and then come back up for lunch without having to pack it all to the beach the day. The shower is very nice the double sink in the master bathroom is great for two people getting ready at the same time. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to book this condo again in the future!

Wonderful stay at Nautilus. Facility is clean and the location is perfect. Having Beach umbrella service daily is a huge plus for our stay. Gerilynn at the front desk is absolutely amazing. She is attentive and quick to be helpful in every way. We have stayed her 4 times now and certain if we go back to area it will be a 5th time. Condo are clean and wife feels very safe staying here. We have done Ocean front and Ocean view and we enjoy both with the added bonus of sitting on deck each night listening to sound of water. Location is fantastic as it removes you from the hustle and bustle of being in Destin. Elevators are a little slow but this is certainly not a dealbreaker for us. We had yet another Wonderful Stay

I love sunrises and sunsets. The master bedroom in l the perfect spot to watch beautiful sunrises and watch the waves while having coffee in bed. The balcony is perfect for sunsets and an evening cocktail. The condo was clean and had all the comforts of home. The guest in the second bedroom was comfortable with the twin beds although we thought the room had a full bed. This property was in the prefect spot for beach hopping. The staff was very courteous and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the near future. Thanks so much for the ambience, location, comfort and care you all put in making staying at this property a serene, peaceful oasis.

Great visit to Fort Walton Beach! Condo was perfect for our needs, clean and well-maintained. Property management people were very nice to work with and friendly. Old Bay Steamer was a favorite for drinks or dinner. Stewby's Seafood Shanty [Ft Walton Beach] Slippery Mermaid Sushi Bar [Navarre], Tommy Bahama happy hour [Sandestin], Boshamps and McGuire's Irish Pub [Destin] were delicious! Only drawback is very heavy traffic through and in Destin. Many restaurants do not take reservations or call aheads and have long waits if you go for dinner. Be sure to check out the beach towns on 30-A...well worth the nice drive. Enjoy!

March 2021 (Spring Break). Check in was fast and easy. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were adequate. The pull out couch was ok for smaller kids but I would not suggest adults use it. There was only utensils in the kitchen, no condiments what so ever (not even salt and pepper), so be prepared to bring/buy what you need. The sea decorations are a nice touch but not if you have smaller kids around. Kids loved the heated pool, especially after the beach as it was cold. Our favorite spot was the balcony and the amazing beach view. The condo was a little farther away from the main area than we had thought however that's good, so you are away from the traffic.
