🌴 The Nautilus | 2 Heated Pools, Walk to Crescent Beach, Pet Friendly

💖 Why You'll Love This Home
Welcome to The Nautilus—an expansive private duplex on Siesta Key's southern tip with room for up to 24 guests.

Just Beautiful!

The Nautilus was everything and more than expected. Little details we appreciated...bicycles, a a cart and chairs for the beach, beach towels and even a beach bag to carry them to the beach which was less than 5 minutes walk. Definitely recommended!

Perfect

We stayed at the Nautilus for a family reunion and had the two units. This worked wonderfully with babies on one floor and people who liked to sleep in on the other. The place was well equipped for cooking (we ate all but one meal in) and the porches and living room areas were comfortable. The pool was amazing…the landscaping made it feel very private and our 4 year old was in heaven there. It also has a table to eat at and a frig. The beach was a easy wagon ride away for the two one year olds and 4 year old. Although the beach is crowded we found a fun spot in a cove area to the left that felt calmer. The elevator was very helpful for our family member who needed it and once we understood how it worked it was easy to use. All in all a fun vacation and beautiful place.

Wonderful beach vacation for extended family

Stayed for a week with 16 family members from all over the country, ages 4-90. Home was comfortable and spacious, short walk to the beach. Kitchen better appointed than some other rentals we have used in the past. Elevators were nice to have for luggage and elderly grandpa but were a bit finicky to use. Quiet location with prompt service from the rental staff. Pools at the house were nice to allow kids to swim in the evening without much effort from the adults. Would stay here again!
