Always so pleased with the accommodations and view.
Everyone is professional and so willing to help.
We have been coming to the Nautilus for years.
Peaceful and calm.

My Nautilus condo was fabulous! Perfect location, great view from living room/kitchen and also bedroom. The pool was a great addition, but the beach was my favorite! The staff was so helpful with all my questions before and after booking. My room was ready early, as they knew I was already on property. I had access to beach, chairs, and pool before check-in and the day after checking out. Two chairs and an umbrella, set up daily at no extra cost, was a pleasant surprise. Even the day of rain from Tropical Storm Bertha, we enjoyed relaxing in the unit and seeing and hearing the ocean past our balcony. I will definitely book again next year.

Excellent communication with the rental office. Room 1505 needs an update. Lights have different types of bulbs, a little dark. Stove top will not boil water without a lid.

Such a wonderful place to stay. We could hear the waves, sunshine every day, and a beautifully decorated home away from home. The amenities such as beach service and a cooler are the perfect additions. We also used the complimentary beach chairs to sit on the beach to watch the sunset. The management t is A+++. We love Nautilus!!!

Great location. Within minutes to wonderful restaurants. Walk right out to the beach and loved the extra chairs, towels and cooler provided by owners, in addition to the beach service that is included.

this is our fourth or fifth time staying at the Nautilis. Staff is always great and condos are always clean and well stocked! You can't beat the view off the balconies- we have always booked a gulf front room, and we love free beach service which we have used every time we've been down! We like it so much will be back next month!

Love the Nautilus! The beach is not crowded and the chairs and umbrellas are included in the price. The ladies at the front desk send lots of communication and explanation. There are bathrooms downstairs near the pool.

We had a great vacation stay at the Nautilus! Very clean and quiet! Only thing missing was a gym. Other than that we would stay here again.

This was a great condo right on the beach with beautiful views! Bed and sofa were very comfortable. I loved that it came with the free beach umbrella and 2 chairs service. The only issue we had was with the stove top taking forever to heat anything. I would definitely book this condo again!

We were only there one night, but it was fantastic. The view was beautiful. Everything was just as advertised. The room was impeccably clean and nice. I’d have to say best part was having our own ice maker ! The location was great. When in Fort Walton, this is definitely the place to stay.

We liked the view and location of the condo. The furniture was a little dated and not the most comfortable.

Weather and water was perfect. We really enjoyed our visit at Nautilus. The one draw back was the attempted shake down by the beach umbrella people, but overall it was a great stay.

This was my second stay at The Nautilus and once again I was happy and satisfied with my experience. It is located close to a variety of restaurants with amazing food, places to go have tons of fun with family/friends (for example The Track in Destin was only 20-30 minutes away), tons of brochures and information on different activities you can do - parasailing, fishing, and much more. The condo is very clean and well-maintained; the staff are all friendly, helpful, and professional. The environment around the pool, beach, and the condo itself is safe, comfortable, and family-oriented. My first stay at this location, we were not ready to leave so soon - we called to see if we could extend our stay and that process was easy - fortunately we were able to stay 2 extra days. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have children!

The sliding glass door off the living room needs replaced. Maintenance sprayed the track but didn't help. The mattress has a hump in the middle. I flipped it, and was not better. The living room needs a chair. The ice machine was a huge success, we loved.

I have stayed in several different places through the years but none of them feel like home to me except the The Nautilus. This was a much needed quick trip that wasn’t planned so when I called, someone had just canceled and I got their spot! So Lucky!!! The room was fabulous and we had a great time. We have been a guest since the 198O’s. I will be back soon!

We love Ft Walton, plenty of good places to eat and low traffic compared to Destin. 1505 nice clean unit with great view. The Nautilus location to the beach is a short walk and the umbrella was included.

Wonderful view of ocean from balcony, however, uncomfortable with not cushions like pictures. All in all, stay was wonderful. You could provide more washcloths. I don't like using same cloth every day and you were constantly having to wash towels, cloths, etc.

We had a few days to stay and really enjoyed our time. Everything was as listed. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks.

Overall this is a nice small rental. Can't beat the location. Quiet, clean and comfortable. It has flaws that are easily overlooked when you walk out to the small balcony. Sunrise to sunset, very peaceful for us. The staff are really accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

I would recommend Nautilus but not this unit. The couch is dirty and very uncomfortable. The unit needs some deep cleaning.

The staff were great. Clean rooms great view. I wish we could stay there again but unfortunately the prices have increased so much for 2022. It's out of my range. I dont mind a increase but $1600 more for next year is too steep for me. It is a nice place but I'm sure I can find something else cheaper that's just as nice.

The location was great. The condo needs new furniture, beds, etc. The office people were good. The title is because it rained all six days we were there, if no rain it would have been GREAT.

I stayed with Nautilus for a little over a month on a business/leisure trip. This was by far one of the best experiences I've had. The professionalism was amazing. The condo was beyond expectations. The owners of 1505 were amazing to work with as well. They certainly have done an amazing job with the interior. I really appreciated how the Nautilus team made my experience so personal and peaceful. During these trying times customer service has seemed to go by the wayside. However, I received a very genuine welcome by all members of the Nautilus team. This includes not only the front desk reception teams, but also the maintenance personnel, grounds keepers, and beach side support members. I felt as if I owned the condo and was not just a temporary customer. The condo had all the amenities I could ask for. The beautiful view included a certain warmth that took away the toils of the day. The character of the condo made you feel immediately at peace as you shut the front door and took in the view. Thank you Nautilus with sharing with me your 1505 unit. My requests were immediately addressed, the unit was immaculate, the view was priceless. I will return and enjoy this beauty again.

Unit 1505 was a very nice unit, very spacious for a one bedroom unit. The walls in the master bathroom sink area could be repainted to make the renovation they did look so much better.

My husband and I have stayed at the Nautilus before, but in a different condo. This condo was wonderful and had everything we needed. It was quiet and clean. Check in and check out was a breeze and we will definitely stay with Nautilus again.
