  Great place to stay with an awesome view! It had everything we needed and even if it rained you could sit on the back porch and it’s just like sitting on the beach. I do wish they gave more towels/toilet paper/ect but we went grocery shopping for our 4 nights stay anyway. Will definitely book again!

  Stacy R from Wichita, Kansas recommends this vacation rental

  Oh my goodness, this condo was exactly what we needed for 4 adults and an infant. We had a smaller size pack and play for our granddaughter to nap/sleep in which fit in the main bathroom. We brought a monitor along so we could close the door and hear her from the deck and bedrooms when she woke up. It was very clean, updated and so close to the pool and beach! Having a full kitchen was wonderful so we could cook a couple of meals. The laundry was also a huge plus! Ceiling fans kept us cool and comfortable. The balcony provided and great place to hang out with a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. We even watched the fireworks from the pier one evening. Two additional family members that stayed close by were able to hang out with us in the evenings in the family room. It was cozy and felt like home! I highly recommend the Nautilus and especially this unit. If we are blessed to visit this area again, I will rent this same space. The communication from management was spot on! Several emails and text messages

  This rental was great. My mom came with us and she stayed on the beautifully decorated and comfortable balcony. She loved that she didn't have to get her feet sandy to enjoy the beach. The balcony was what made me rent this particular condo. It is close enough to hear the waves and feel the breeze. Hope we will be able to visit this condo again. I will recommend this rental to anyone asking how it was. Thanks for the opportunity.

  This unit was perfect. We have a family of six and everyone fit nicely. Its high enough up that your kids are not in danger but cannot get out without you knowing. We will be back to this unit again!
  The only negative is the fine print on toilet paper and trash bags. Bring your own because two rolls per unit goes pretty darn quick.

  We loved it & we’re coming back! Thankful for the recliner & cushy balcony furniture; they made my handicapped husband’s stay pain free & allowed him to enjoy rather than endure our vacation. Well equipped except it needs a GOOD broom & dust pan; suggest a toilet bowl brush for BOTH bathrooms. Management was wonderful (Madison) thru the storm’s aftermath (fans, dehumidifier, internet & TV outages). Suggest visible info for guests about the absorbent tube -found it by accident after Sally drove water thru the sliders.
  Thank you for a lovely stay!

  The apartment was nicely equipped. The patio furniture was perfect for early morning beach gazing while enjoying a good book. Easy access to beach. No room keys to keep track of, each unit door has a number code! The whole complex was at the end of a complete remodel. There were some repairs still ongoing but none of them interfered with our stay. The new paint, banister railings, decking, etc looks great! Front desk staff were friendly and knowledgeable and corrected any issues quickly!
