The property is very clean and the perfect location. The unit itself needs major updates, saggy mattresses, worn furniture, bathroom fan doesn't work, it just all needs attention.

Perfect stay! Highly recommend

We loved our stay! I had a few non negotiables in renting a condo…clean, beautiful view, easy check in and out. This condo gets an A plus on all of those. It was a bit outdated but that didn’t matter to us. The beds were super comfy! Very clean, amazing view, easy check in and out. I messaged the team about a door and the response was almost instant. Would definitely stay again.

Very convenient place to stay. Great vacation spot

I have stayed at the Nautilus twice. I will stay again. We were able to check into the condo a couple of hours early which really helped us out after traveling with a 1 year old. The condo is clean. Located right on the beach. The pool is nice. Check-in process was very easy. The ocean view is beautiful. We did not have any issues at all during our stay.

Awesome Stay

The condo had the most beautiful views of the beach. It was big enough for our family of 4, close enough to Destin to easily be able to go do things there, but far enough away we didn’t have all the traffic. We will be back for future vacations! The washer and dryer are noisy, but we made it work!

Peaceful

I booked this condo for a girls weekend, and it was the perfect place to stay. The condo was clean and had room for everyone. The view was spectacular and the large balcony was a plus. I do recommend bringing baking sheets from home, but otherwise the condo provided all the amenities you might need. We would definitely stay here again.

The view

Enjoyed our stay. The best part is being able to hear the ocean from your bed. Room is a little dated but clean. Elevator at the Property was the only thing that kept breaking but its only 3 floors so not a deal breaker. Overall good value.
