Had a great time love the nautilus. Staff is always friendly, been coming here for about 12 years. love the view from the balcony. Can't wait until next year.
Our stay here was amazing, it was such a cute condo and the views cannot be beat. There was some sand already on the floor when we arrived but it is the beach so it wasn’t a huge deal.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental does have a beautiful view but the condo needs a face lift. Furnishings are heavily worn, louvers on door falling apart, Sheetrock falling off in places, screen door broken....Location was good. View was excellent and after hours checkin was easy
Location was excellent, pool was clean and well kept and access to the beach was excellent. 1503 was overall ok but the floors were filthy and the dishes/pans still had food caked on them. Although it was listed in ad only one towel per person and the minimum supplies are an inconvenience. Only one elevator was working but extremely slow, there was always a wait. All the employees and especially the maintenance man were extremely friendly. Overall we have stayed at many places in the area at this price point that were far better. With some attention to cleanliness this could be at the top of our list.
Great view of the ocean!! The location of the unit was great! Close to the elevator and high enough up to get a great view. Quiet unit with great lighting. The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment and has an awesome ice maker separate from the fridge/freezer that is perfect for filling your cooler. The walk to the beach is just right. Not miles long like some other properties. Nice and easy. Great rinse off station for after the beach. The unit has beach chairs and some beach toys which was a nice touch! I would definitely recommend bringing a pack of toilet paper, some extra trash bags, dryer sheets, and paper towels, but that is pretty standard condo wide I have found. There is plenty to do near by - aquarium, oskaloosa board walk/pier, shops, and plenty of places to eat. We loved the Crab Trap and Stewbys shanty. They also had fireworks at the pier we could see from the unit! The management is great, and they will text about things around the area, like the fireworks display, etc. We had an amazing time and would definitely return!

Reviewer Comments:
A lot has changed with the beach chairs and umbrella service, no longer can you reserve a chair like the previous 10 years that we had been staying here. People from the public access come and use chairs also. The chairs are so far back from the water now that people from the public access will come set up between you and the water. A local program called Little Adventures also came several days and set up fishing classes in front of the beach chairs on this properties beach as well. They have lost the sense of a personal beach access that you pay thousands of dollars for while the public gets the same experience for free. Will no longer come back to Nautilus unless they get control of their beach again. VERY VERY disappointed!
