About this property

Little Piece of Paradise

Fort Walton Beach/ Okaloosa Island is just beautiful! I love my condo at the Nautilus. It is a 2/bedroom 2/bath condo.... “Side Unit” with great beach views. I have owned my condo since 2002 and I have return guest year after year. Once you visit this area… You will want to come back for sure! The beaches are magical with their white powder sand and beautiful blue turquoise Gulf water. I guess that’s why they call it the Emerald Coast area.

I know how important it is to have a fully stocked kitchen, so many of my guests are very appreciative of all of items I provide. I even have an under the counter ice maker machine so you have extra ice for your cooler. Of course the refrigerator freezer also makes ice.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, and the guest bedroom has a queen bed and bunks for the little ones. There is also a queen sleeper sofa. Plus, I have a Washer and Dryer inside the condo! :-)

Beach service for 2 is provided during your stay (March - October), and I also have additional folding beach chairs in the little closet near the entrance area. There are some fun little sand toys for the kids in that closet. I would love to have you come and stay at my Little Piece of Paradise.

Great condo for our family vacation. Had everything we needed. Loved that we were right on the beach and able to go back and forth from pool to the beach easily. If we go back to Fort Walton Beach we will definitely stay here again!

What a peaceful spot to stay! The view off the balcony give a nice shot of the gulf. The beach with chair service was perfect! The condo was very comfortable with everything you need from a stocked kitchen to extra bedding. We found everything about our stay to be wonderful.

So sorry to hear the repairs were still going on during your stay. The association at the Nautilus had emailed and said that repairs would be completed before your arrival. Sorry… I did not know.

Hi Martha, I’m so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your vacation. I read your review and I will talk with the board members about your concerns about the pool and other issues. As far as the condo… I sincerely apologize if it was not cleaned properly. I know my housekeeper has been having a few health issues lately, but I will definitely share the information you provided. I try and update furniture and belongings for the condo, but some renters are not as observant over their spills and taking care of the furniture. So I am sorry… Thank you for taking the time to write your review. -Tara

About the host

Hosted by Tara Porter

Host profile image
I have been traveling to this area ever since my children were little. I fell in love with this area and the Nautilus condominium, so I feel very blessed to own a condo here. We have made beautiful memories over the years, and I would love to share my place with you and your family.
Blessings, :-) Tara

Why they chose this property

Okaloosa Island is just breathtaking! When you drive down to the condo you got the beach to the left side of you and the beautiful intercoastal waters to the right of you. There is much to do in this area, especially… If you love the beach and water. This is a great family area, and there is a 25 years of age requirement in order to rent at the Nautilus.
