We absolutely loved our stay and cannot say enough good things about this Airbnb and the host! From the moment we booked, the host was incredibly attentive, kind, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed and more.
Communication was seamless, and every detail felt so thoughtfully taken care of. The space was comfortable, welcoming, and truly felt like a home away from home. It's rare to find a host who is this invested in making their guests feel happy and relaxed. We would 100% stay here again without hesitation and highly recommend this place to anyone considering it!

Somerville Alabama

5.0

Our stay was relaxing, which is what we wanted. We love coming to Nautilus. But have to say we were disappointed in renting a “Penthouse” and finding it was no more than a 2 bdrm condo. Nice, clean, and spacious. But elements like kitchen cookware and kitchen amenities overall, need replacement and more character and welcoming needs updating to condo. Too sterile.

Love coming to Okaloosa (Nautilus Condos) in September or October every year for a relaxing way to recharge from the hectic summer and for the Holidays to come.
From the slower pace of early fall and the pounding waves just beyond the
wonderful end unit balcony, this condo never disappoints. It keeps you coming back year after year!

We loved the unit and enjoyed our stay fully. This unit was clean and well-appointed. The lanai is large! The only negative was the broken elevator that appeared to have been "out of service" for quite some time. We don't mind some stair climbing, but a 7th floor unit should have reliable elevator service.

My family really enjoys our stays at the Nautilus. This was our 3rd time over a few years, and it was the penthouse. Our stay was cut short by a fatal illness with family back home. The staff at Nautilus somehow was able to credit our charges back for our unused stay. Great people to deal with as usual. My family would definitely stay with the Nautilus again and unit 1701 is one of the finest we have stayed in.

Everything about our stay at Nautilus was perfect. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful around. The unit is wide, spacious and clean. Kitchen is well stocked. The beds are super comfy. The balcony is great, there's plenty of room to take a nap in your lounge chair or relax in a rocking chair to the most beautiful view. The elevator is pretty slow, but everything else being so great, we didn't care. We will be back! We loved Burrito del Sol, Chicago Style Dogs & Beefs, and for an amazing dinner, go eat at Brotula's in Destin... worth the wait! Call Captain Bryan Klein at Sail Away Destin for your private small group cruise, the most fun we had on our trip, he is top notch!!
