  a guest recommends this vacation rental

  Great view, spacious and clean unit. Would have liked to see more household items, ie flashlight, scissors, Tupperware, extra bedding. We had extra pillows but no pillow cases. Only 1 extra blanket. Nothing major that wld stop us from returning. Lots of space to add books or games to the unit for a rainy day. Anything we needed mgt on site was available and very friendly. Beach service was amazing and so convenient!! Area was a traffic mess with construction but doable! Would like to see more awareness to sea life! They have info posted but unit was not sea life friendly, ie, heavier drapes to block out lights, posting more to remind folks to use flashlights w red lenses. Was sad not to find any sea turtle nests roped off....nights the beach was full of white bright flashlights both ways up and down beach! Beach was huge w magnificent views!! Even when crowded did not feel crowded! Pool was clean and had plenty of seating! Location was ok, close enough for groceries, restaurants and a marina for a boat trip!! We did soundside cruiser and was a great experience! Price was reasonable and they really took time to create a great experience, kid friendly as well! Loved the texts that Nautilus sent as reminders from before, during and at checkout! Was very helpful!! Would recommend for sure!!

  As a repeat vacationer our unit was just as pleasant as before. We did see some relaxed appearance in the overall condition of the property. Normally in the spring the surroundings are freshly fluffed and ready for a peak season, this year we got the feeling it had been a long busy season. Overall good experience and plan another visit soon.

  We had a wonderful stay at the Nautilis condos. The unit we were in could use some updating, the furniture and decor was outdated. Other than that, the place was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a week stay. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We discovered our bathtub drain was clogged on arrival, I notified staff, and they sent maintenance right up to fix the problem. The unit was close to the beach, and the view was amazing! Would stay here again.

  Andrew E from Jeffersonville , Indiana recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at Nautilus off and on for the past 18 years. Room 1406 has a BEAUTIFUL view and balcony directly overlooking the beach! However the unit does need to be a bit updated inside. Some things were very old and broken and the stove and refrigerator were very outdated. When we arrived, the unit was not clean. However, the property manager came right over on her day off. She offered to send cleaning lady’s back in but i chose to clean it myself. She took off the cleaning fee. She helped us in every way she could. We really appreciated that. Overall we were happy and comfortable in our unit but it just needs a little updating as i said. Again, the balcony and location are unbeatable!!

  • Manager Responded on 10/27/2020

  The room is everything we asked for our stay in Ft Walton beach. With the amazing view of the ocean we greatly enjoyed getting to watch the dolphins swim in front of us. The fully furnished kitchen helped with those quick meals to fix instead of going out every time, so we could spend more time on the beach. The only thing I would recommend for future renters is make sure you bring your own trash bags and toilet paper for when you run out it’s up to you to provide more. Other than that it was a great relaxing getaway for me and my family.

  Matthew K from FRANKFORT, KY recommends this vacation rental

  We were so excited to be coming back to the Nautilus and our expectations were high after our last visit. needless to say, we were quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. We spoke to 2 different people and were given the explanation that the deep cleaning was to happen after the season ended. Honestly, that is unacceptable. The items that we spoke of and that were on the list that I handed the front desk, are items that should be addressed after every rental, not just after season. Ceiling Fan Blades caked in Dust, Vents caked in Mold and dust and cobwebs and dust bunnies on the ceiling in the kitchen blowing right over the counter space. The handle to the refrigerator was so dirty that your hand actually stuck to it when you grabbed it. Long Black hairs on the floor of the guest room bathroom. We did about an hours worth of cleaning before we unpacked... next time I will make sure to find a super and/or take pictures. When brought to the attention of the management, it honestly seemed like we were just complaining to complain. I promise you, that is not who we are.
