The management was overly accommodating and understanding with our situation to evacuate our original destination in the path of the hurricane, and made sure our stay was perfect! We will definitely be back!

We regularly visit family in the FWB/Destin area and always choose to stay in a gulf front condo or hotel. The Nautilus offers everything we need for comfort and relaxation while enjoying views of the lovely white sand beaches! Steps to the beach and pool make this an ideal choice!

I am a sunchaser who loves sunrises and sunsets. This was the perfect condo to experience both! The sunrise from the bedroom and the sunset from the Balcony. I shared a few concerns with the property manager and they were quick to address my concerns. The only additional recommendation is to consider getting some chairs with backs for the kitchen table or bar. As a senior Citizen, it was not comfortable sitting in either spot. Overall, the condo is very relaxing and comfortable.

Let me begin with how amazing it was to have the Nautilus GM Melissa to communicate with concerning this rental! I am a huge fan of good customer service, and she was exceptional!!
I had prayed to find the perfect location for our Anniversary Trip. This condominium was truly an answer to my prayers!! It is, and has everything you could wish for...first of all, it has a view of the water from the living room and the master bedroom!! You can wake up in the morning to a sunrise and the waves crashing on the beach from the bedroom, or watch the sunset from the balcony just outside the living room. What is even more incredible is that you can do both of these things from either place because your balcony is huge and accessible to both!
The comforts of 1306 are almost too numerous to name. I felt like it was my own home away from home. The kitchen is well appointed with cookware, utensils, blender, and a coffee pot as well as a Keurig. There is plenty of storage space in the bedrooms and baths. The master bath shower is beyond amazing! The 2nd bedroom has a balcony also that faces the parking area.
There is also a washer/dryer combo across from the kitchen to wash small loads of clothes when needed. I felt safe at all times inside and outside of the condo. One of the most pleasant surprise was when I opened the door on the balcony to find anything we could have wanted for beach use! An umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and more!! I have fallen in love with 1306!!! This is just the good stuff inside the condo! When you venture out, you can swim in the heated pool, or walk over the short walkway to the beautiful white sand beach! Which is pure heaven!! We spent 4 days on the beach from 8:00am to 6:00pm, the location to our condo made it easy to duck in for a bite and head back out! When you come in from the beach, there is a shower and place to rinse your beach gear, which is awesome! I am thankful that God answered our prayer and brought

I have nothing but good things to say about our stay at the Nautilus. The room was clean and comfortable. The views were fabulous. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again and will highly recommend it to my family and friends.
We love to stay in Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island because we feel it is a more low key family oriented environment. It is just “touristy” enough without being overboard on that. This place feels as cozy as home but you’re on vacation!

I will stay here again! Checking in and out was easy. Everything we needed was available to us. The complimentary set of beach chairs was a huge plus. It was a beautiful weekend and we had so much fun. The pool is great as well. 5/5 stars.

We loved the condo!! Great location! We do wish the sofa was a sofa bed and if you have to close the master bedroom door for privacy it gets VERY hot in there. It needs a wall unit because of all the windows.

We were looking to spend the week with our grandkids and picked this unit because of the balcony and its third floor location. We were very pleased with the decor and all the little things like a kitchen with several cooking utensils, wide range of pillows, lots of hangers, and our favorite was a balcony closet full of beach toys and chairs. Cable tv was available also. The management went above and beyond to help in anyway we asked and my grandkids loved the pool.

We arrived in the early morning hours and parked at the public access located right next door to the Nautilus. We enjoyed sunrise and was in the office at 9am. They were kind enough to give us a parking pass and access to beach service although we were early! The unit wasn’t ready until slightly before 4pm but it was a perfect day. Our unit had everything plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked. The sheets on one bed were not clean but the office gave us clean ones and apologized. We did have to buy more dishwasher and laundry pods, one for each day of stay would be a nice touch. There was plenty of furniture on the balcony and the view couldn’t be better! We love the Nautilus and will be back!

The office staff were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. It was nice to be called by name when I would enter, it is just an added little touch. The room was beautiful and spacious. We were there for a softball tournament and we had a few other families staying there as well. We had a wonderful week and will return one day when our schedules allow.

Everything went very smoothly from check-in to check-out. Ladies in the management office were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived around 2:30 and our condo was ready although official check-in wasn’t until 4:00. The condo was everything we hoped it would be. Gorgeous view from the large balcony and very peaceful also. As mentioned in other reviews the master bedroom does get quite warm however waking up with 2 walls of windows overlooking the beach was well worth it. Beach service was fantastic and Evan went above and beyond to not only take care of the vacationers but also the beach itself. We will definitely be returning.

The rental was clean and nicely appointed. Beds were comfortable. The ocean front view was spectacular. We saw pods of dolphins from the balcony on a daily basis. The condo complex was quiet, and clean, and best of all on the beach.. The beach was clean and gorgeous. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets can be seen from the beach. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely stay here again.

This was my fourth time staying at Nautilus. That should say it all!!! I don’t feel the need to search for another condo, I try and visit Fort Walton at least once a year and will continue to choose Nautilus. Their website makes it easy to book online, very clean, friendly service, comes with beach service, clean pool. When arriving late Linda is great with taking care of you and making sure you have your code to the condo. Highly recommend Nautilus to everyone, in fact my aunt stayed there in June. See ya next year!!!

Lovely view from the balcony! The Condo was clean and had everything we needed. The whole place needs a little updating. The sliding doors were very loud and didn't slide well. The screen was torn on one door and the railings had a lot of chipped paint concrete on the walls were crumbling but if you can overlook the little things it was very nice. The view was fantastic we spent alot of time on the balcony when we weren't on the beach or enjoying nearby Destin. I would recommend!!

Overall,
A very good experience. The location is great. You would be hard pressed to find a better beach front area. The condo was clean and inviting. The property in general was clean and kept. There was a fresh water rinse area when coming from the beach. There are two changes I would make: 1) Provide a topper for the pullout couch(un sleepable). We were six people. Luckily we were family so three slept in the king and one on the couch, with the other two in the queen. 2) I would have liked to have some of the basics or make it more clear on what is kept there, such as sugar, coffee filters, etc. I only mention this because this was provided at other rentals. The dishwasher and laundry soap was provided.

Great location and beach, but property could use a little TLC. Paint chipping off all the railing, and chipped and rusting walls. A few guys would a few buckets of paint (inside and out)could do this place wonders... Just expecting a little more for the price I paid.
