  We enjoyed our stay. Unit 1702 has a fabulous view. The jets in the garden tub did not work. My kids were disappointed about that. The Unit could use some updating but was very clean. Overall, our stay was great.

  This unit was THE best stocked of any condo I’ve stayed at. And we travel a lot!! The communication was fantastic. The new service of having your groceries waiting on you IN the condo was so nice. I placed my delivery order to the condo and they put them away. This is also the easiest and closet beach access ever. We love to stay here and will be back!

  Arrived at front desk, and the lady was very nice. We went up to 1702 and the condo was clean and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful. I got up every morning and drank my coffee and watched the world come alive. There were even Dolphins playing in the ocean. Beach was not crowded and chairs available all the time. I loved the small complex with close parking. Loved the time we had.

  Nautilus Condominiums is a well run, thoughtfully managed, vintage facility on Okaloosa Island in Ft. Walton, Fl. Unit 1702 is a roomy 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo on the 7th floor. Best features include reasonable cost, awesome view of the Gulf, comfortable furnishings, huge library, and well-equipped kitchen including a free-standing wet ice maker. Furnishings are a bit dated, bathrooms are overdue for a renovation, and carpets are stained.

  a guest from Canal Winchester, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  When we arrived we were tired and travel weary. We had endured cancelled flights, weather delays, the necessity to rebook on a different airline and change travel dates. We were even delayed by a day on arrival. However, the staff could not have been more accommodating. The Penthouse Condo was beautifully decorated and clean. The balcony and the view are the selling points for this unit. We have done numerous beach vacations on the East Coast - we have never had a balcony that could comfortably accommodate all four adults on lounge chairs and not feel cramped.

  This was my first time staying here at the Nautilus but it won’t be the last. The location is not far away from the attractions but it is away from the traffic. You can watch the fireworks from your balcony or beach. There is a Tom Thumb right next door to restock beer ice or anything you might have forgot to get including beach toys and floats.

  Leslie Ann S from Fort Walton Beach, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Property was nice. Unit was clean except dusty on bookshelves, end tables and TV stands. Lots of stuff provided in the unit which made it feel like a home away from home. Hated smelling cigarette smoke from our non-smoking unit as we tried to enjoy our balcony view each day/night. (Felt like I smoked a pack a day and I don't smoke!). The pool was often overfilled with water which made it deeper than labeled I believe. Might be better for kids if it weren’t so full at the steps. Internet issues when we first arrived but were resolved by staff within a few days. Loved the carts to help with luggage, recycling and trash collection was super easy, parking was good, etc. We had a great experience and hope to come back some time in the future.

  • Manager Responded on 6/11/2019

    Hi Leslie, Happy to know taht you did enjoy the unit and sorry for all the smoke. Not sure why the pool was so full with water but I will let the guys know about it. The internet in this building is alway hard to work with and we do our best to make sure it is always working. If you do come back to this unit we will try and make things right for you. Linda

  Thomas F from Lexington, SC recommends this vacation rental

  Six years ago me and my wife booked a stay at the Nautilus for Thanksgiving Week. My sister and her husband also booked a unit and spent the week. The facility was beautiful, well maintained, and we all enjoyed a great week together and had Thanksgiving Dinner on the balcony patio with a beautiful view that year. We enjoyed it so much that the following year we did it again, and since have continued every year. This has has grown in size along with other family members (children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, etc), each booking additional units, so has become a traditional family event. Most of us have already booked reservations for next year, and even though there are other choices of places to stay none of us would even consider staying anywhere else other than the Nautilus. We have stayed in different units, based upon availability, throughout the past years, with never a disappointment. We always stay in the ocean front rooms. The Nautilus has always been consistently superb. The rooms & grounds are always immaculate and the staff is great. Highly recommend the Nautilus to all.

  • Manager Responded on 12/18/2017

    Hi Thomas Thank you for the nice review. We are so happy that you all had a great time and want to come back. We enjoy having families come and stay through the holidays and I know you all had a great time and it warms my heart to know we are doing things right.
