  Condo complex was very nice. The unit was clean, well maintained and had every small appliance you could want including a margarita machine! Comfortable seating and plenty of it! Beds were very comfortable, slept very well each night which is something I don’t usually do. The view was fantastic from balcony to horizon. Will stay here again & would recommend to all

  Fantastic time on the beach with the family, all thanks to a luxury condo with all the amenities one could ever want! For a family of five, this unit had all the space we needed and more. The kitchen is large and accommodating. The back patio facing the beach made for wonderful sunrises with coffee and late night chats with friends. Property management onsite is very responsive and friendly. We could text them with any questions or request and they were very prompt with replies. Property description, location, and layout with amenities were all accurate. We will definitely be back next year!

  The condo is perfect for our family. The space and sleep space is adequate. The walking distance to the beach is short!!! Views from balcony are amazing! Staff was #1.
  Our refrigerator was not working properly 1st day and they came and switched it out. The only complaint we had was the elevator noise and slowness of it. It definitely needs to be changed out. We will be back!!!

  My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful getaway at 1703 Nautilus. The online pictures were very accurate, the condo was extremely clean and the kitchen had everything you could possible need provided, except for spices, cooking oil, etc., which is clearly stated in the description. The manager was quick to respond to any issues, for instance, we had trouble figuring out the remotes for the TV, and maintenance was sent right away. We were close to our favorite restaurants, so that was also a bonus. I would highly recommend this condo and staying at the Nautilus!

Natalie went above and beyond to bring us a bag of ice when we first arrived and learned there was no built-in ice maker. The only thing I would recomment is new cushions for the chaise lounges. Otherwise everything was perfect.

  We had a great time as always. Not sure how many times we have rented to this unit and rented by the month but have always loved our stay. The unit has been newly updated and really was better than I could of expected.
  There was an unusually thing that has never happened before, I always book the same unit for the next year and I called the office and requested to rent October of 2022 and they told me that they would get back with me and never did. I DID CALL AGAIN AND TOLD THEM THE 2ND TIME THAT I WANTED TO BOOK THE UNIT FOR OCTOBER FOR 2022. AS OF 11/8/21 I HAVE YET TO RECIEVE A RETURN EMAIL OR PHONE CALL FROM THE MANAGEMENT CONCERNING MY REQUEST.YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD GET A RESPONCE! WE HAVE STAYED AT THE NAUTILUS FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS. I HOPE IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST BUT THEY NEED TO RETURN A CUSTOMERS REQUEST.
  Thanks, Dan A. White House, Tenn.

  We love the Nautilus and condo 1703 was the nicest and largest one there. Friendly staff, spotless condo and every small detail was just right. Large bath towels, plenty of kitchenware,very comfortable beds, and that wonderful balcony. Tvs in bedrooms not getting internet despite following on screen instructions but we only needed the working one in living room. Fabulous huge walk in shower was amazing. I would have preferred a tub in other bathroom to soak in but it also had a nice shower

  1703 is a recently updated property and is so beautiful. I’ve stayed at the Nautilus for over 20 years and this condominium is by far my favorite. I particularly loved the electric recliner in the large gulf front/main bedroom. The shower in the main/gulf front bedroom is glorious. Of course it should go without saying, the view is breathtakingly spectacular. I returned home refreshed and renewed. I hope to have the opportunity to rent 1703 again. Thank you owners of 1703 for accommodating us; your rental property is beautiful.

  Marshall N from Henderson, Tx recommends this vacation rental

  We usually go to Mexico, but I found that I liked this property as much or more than some we've stayed at in Mexico. If I had a bigger family, I'd come here every summer b/c it would make more sense financially. The only problem we had was at check in- we didn't get into our room until after 5:00 pm on check in day, when we were supposed to be in by 3:00. Everything else was fantastic.

  We had a great time! The beach was super close to the building. We loved keyless entry. Condo was spacious for 5 guests.
  We didn’t have a broom in the condo. A broom or floor vac would have been a plus. The jets in the master bath tub did not work. We did let management know. These were not deal breakers for us. We will rent again in the future.

  • Manager Responded on 7/18/2020

    Hello Ms. Jan, We are so very happy you enjoyed the Beach and will come back and see us in the future. We are working on the Master bath hot tub and will make sure we get a broom and floor vac in the room, thank you for letting us know and we look forward to seeing your family in the future!

  For our Annual Nautilus vacation we have been returning for almost 20 years to the Nautilus and have already booked for next October 1st to the 29 th in the same unit as we have for the past few years.
  The most impressive thing that my wife mentioned is how good of a cleaning job the cleaners have done in our unit.
  The unit is well kept, the office staff is most helpful and if we needed anything they were right on it.
  
  As for me and my family we plan on returning each and every year and making great family memories!
  I can definitely recommend the Nautilus to anyone and I have!!

  The weather is almost always perfect, however we did have a little storm called Michael where we were evacuated for 5 days but were able to return. The view is the beginning and ending to perfect days. We have been coming to Fort Walton Beach for over 20 years. We find it to be perfect for the beach, golfing and great dining. The Staff at the Nautilus has always been very kind and accommodating in every day, the unit has always been clean and very nice. We have already made reservations for 30 days for 2019.

  The Nautilaus Unit #1703 was very clean, decorated nicely, and had a large balcony with a stunning view. It was well equipped with all cooking supplies, bedding, and toiletries. The only complaints were that the walls are thin and it was noisy a couple nights and the sliding doors were extremely hard to open and close. The pillows need to be replaced. These are minor, though, and I would highly recommend this unit and would love to stay here again. The balcony alone makes this one incredible condo. The views are simply breathtaking! You can’t go wrong with this one.
