  a guest from Somerville, Alabama recommends this vacation rental

  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.

  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!!

  Brad S from Eldorado, IL recommends this vacation rental

  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.

  • Manager Responded on 5/22/2021

    Brad, We are so sorry again about the illness in the family, we are glad that we were able to accommodate you all and make things easier on you. We are glad that you were able to at least enjoy the penthouse and everything it has to offer. We look forward to seeing you again.

  We loved our condo on the 7th floor on the end. We couldn't believe how large and beautiful it was. The corner balcony was huge and beautiful views of the entire gulf. The bed was very comfortable and the full kitchen allowed us to feel at home. Location was great with a very short walk to get to the beach over small walkway from the pool. The unit smelled clean and fresh and the garden Jacuzzi tub was very enjoyable. The only negative thing I could mention is the elevator is very slow and long waits to get up and down to unit.
