  a guest from Taylorsville, Kentucky recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was great. Very spacious. We were 4 adults and 2 kids. It never felt crowded. It is beautifully decorated. The view is great. Having the towels, cooler and chairs there for use was a definite plus. When we had an issue with the bath tub thwy came and fixed it right away. Every possible utensil you can think of. The built in ice maker was also great and saved a lot on buying ice. They also had board games. Will definitely stay there again.

  Brandon T from Holden, West Virginia recommends this vacation rental

  The process to rent this condo was extremely easy.
  The staff was friendly and very helpful.
  The unit was exactly like in the pictures and was very clean.
  The digital code for the door was nice so there was not a key card to keep up with.
  Overall I am very satisfied with the unit and it was at a fair price point.
  The nautilus is less than 2 miles from the pier so that was a nice bonus.
  I would definitely recommend staying here it's very quiet of the evening time and there is very little traffic on the road.

  Very clean older condo. The view was nice and had plenty of pans for cooking and utensils. The management was very responsive and informative with text and emails regarding the stay. Close to restaurants and a Tom thumb that had icecream when my teens got late night munchies. Good location for a quite family of 5.

  Allison M from Baton Rouge, Louisiana recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of 5 thorougly enjoyed our stay at Nautilus--our first time to stay in FWB! The location is perfect, the overall size of the building is just great since it never felt too crowded, even with one elevator out of operation during our stay. The staff was friendly and the texts to check in/out were so efficient and easy. We especially loved that we couldn't really hear any neighbors above/below/beside us, maybe due to the solid concrete build? Our unit was very spacious and well appointed with a beautiful view. The only small downside was the carpeted living room and bedrooms (just kind of strange for trapping beach sand) and floors left our crawling baby's knees visibly dirty after our first 20 minutes in the condo. But we found a mop inside and did a quick clean of the tiled floors even thoug they didn't look dirty to the naked eye (they had obviously cleaned, it could just have been in need of a deeper cleaning honestly.) We would return here for sure!

  Did not know what to expect. But we where blown away at the condo and location. The beach access and pool where awesome and staff was attentive to anything. We lived it so much that staying at condo all day was still a vacation. The money we saved going to a grocery store instead of eating out everyday was great.

  Carlene P from Shady Valley, Tennessee recommends this vacation rental

  We needed a late minute reservation in order to catch the week of perfect weather. We have stayed in many different places in Fort Walton and Destin over the years but it was our first time at the Nautilus.
  
  We were not disappointed. The condo was spacious and laid out well. Our adult granddaughter was with us and she had her private bedroom and bath at one end, and we had ours at the other end. The kichen was huge and very well appointed with utensils and cookware. All the appliances worked, many were new.
  
  The view was fantastic from the condo and beach access was just right outside. The heated pool was very nice. Everything had been recently updated outside.
  
  The staff was friendly, checkin couldnt have been easier.
  The condo was an excellent place to stay for the money.

  a guest from Upton, KY does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This unit is VERY needy. Old, outdated, needs almost everything in there replaced. The carpet is trash worthy. The ac unit froze up, maintenance came replaced the broken part, the unit froze up again the next 2 days. The patio furniture is junky, uncomfortable and worn out.
  I would be ashamed to own a property in such a picturesque setting and fail to maintain that unit.

  First visit at this particular condo, but this might just be the best one yet. Love the views. Sunrises from the balcony and sunset right out the front door. The pool is visible from the front walk but no pool noise can be heard around here. The views are amazing and we can hear the sound of the surf but not the traffic. A win win. A hidden gem from the hustle and bustle of Ft Walton and Destin.
