Thank you for the great rating! It’s wonderful to know the condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything you needed for a beach stay. We’re glad the balcony view and beach access made your visit even better. Looking forward to hosting you again.
Just the right amount of space for us and two kids under 10! The removable shower head extension was a huge help giving the youngest showers, made it feel like home. Had all the towels and kitchen needs you could think of. Great stay!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Really glad the condo felt just right for your family and that the shower setup helped with the kids. Great to hear you had everything you needed in the kitchen and plenty of towels. Hope to welcome you back soon.
Great location. Beautiful views of the ocean. Easy beach access. Was great having the two free chairs and an umbrella set up each day. Room is large enough for two people. Kitchen is roomy and stocked. Was great having a washer and dryer. Unit was nice enough but the light fixtures and baseboards needs cleaning. Paint needs freshened up. Especially in the master bathroom. Definitely could use a new mattress! Would consider staying here again if we are ever in the area.

We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the views, easy beach access, and the convenience of the daily chair and umbrella setup. It’s also great that the kitchen and laundry amenities worked well for your stay. Thank you for sharing the maintenance items you noticed; we’ll make sure they’re addressed. If there’s ever anything we can do to make your stay a 10/10, please let us know while you’re here. We look forward to hosting you again if you return to the area.
Looking out from the balcony, there was only a sand dune between the beach and me. The condo was perfect. I truly spent last night checking dates for a late summer/early fall return trip. It WILL coincide with the availability of this specific condo.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2026
Thank you for the perfect 10/10! We’re delighted the condo and balcony view made your stay unforgettable. Hearing that you’re planning your next visit is the best compliment we could receive — we can’t wait to have you back.
Overall stay was good. Clean property and staff was very friendly. A good unspoken amenity is that this property is literally right next door to a 24 hour convenient store/mart for almost any essential items/snacks. Beach access is easy and beach staff personnel for chairs were nice. Overall, this was a good stay for the price.ConsBeds had sand in it (as if mattress wasn't shakened or vacuumed routinely). Washing/drying machines took way longer than listed on the settings. Pool can be overcrowded at times.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this detailed 8/10 review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the clean condo, the friendly team, the easy beach access, and the complimentary chairs and umbrella. The 24‑hour convenience store next door really is a hidden gem, and we’re glad it helped during your stay. We appreciate your feedback about the sand in the beds and the washer/dryer cycle times — we’ve already passed this along to our housekeeping and maintenance teams. Thank you again for staying with us; we’d love to host you in the future.

Have stayed here several times and enjoyed every time. This time there was renovations going on and it was very noisy and somewhat disruptive. However I will be back next year. Linda in the office is great to work with.
The oceanfront view was great. Second floor condo so view was over the dunes. The bed slept good but the unit needs some TLC. Rusted lamps, knobs off cabinets, slow drains in bathroom. The appliances were up to date. The staff in the on-site management office was very nice and checkin was easy. Would stay in this building again.

Reviewer Comments:
The property overall was good, the people at check in were extremely friendly and allowed us to go in our unit an hour or two early, which we appreciated. We had an amazing trip, our biggest complaint were the beds, they were awful, it felt like sleeping on a rock, our daughter chose to sleep on the couch the entire trip. The toilets were a little awkward, sitting very low to the floor; otherwise we have no complaints. The beach service was great every day!
Some of the pictures doesn't due this unit justice, for instance, the chairs on the balcony, they are well made and sit up high, one review read there was no table, you don't need a table, the arms on these chairs are wide enough to sit a drink on them and not fall off, we enjoyed this unit so much we reserved it again before we checked out and the office personnel communicate with you very good and keep you informed, if you have any questions or concerns you can go talk to them in person, the kitchen is well equipped with good cookware, and it is well kept ,we have been going to Ft, Walton since 2015 and the nautilus is the best by far especially this unit, thanks for a very good vacation. p.s the view is just like sitting on the beach
Needed a place to stay for one week for a dance convention. We picked Nautilus for their location to ECCC and they had a pool and gulf access. We had immediate contact with the rental office from day 1, they even called when our place was ready since we were arriving sooner than 4pm (17 hour drive). Check in was a breeze and we got a ton of coupons for area attractions and restaurants (which we used! Thanks!!) The pictures looked like the place, minus a few details. They had everything we needed and then some (toaster, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker, dishwasher, hair dryers). The place needs some updates, all minor and were left on the surgery left in the unit. Our daughter loved the bunk beds! Place felt safe, area is very clean, and staff was very hospitable. Love sitting on the balcony watching the waves, dolphins in the morning, and the shark on the shore the one afternoon. The dunes outside the balcony can not be walked on, saw way too many people doing it daily, need more signage stopping people from damaging them! Loved the beach service, but get their early as some families were claiming 6 chairs. Pool was clean and everyone was super friendly with each other. Parking was plentiful.
Downfall: thin walls. Our first night we listened to the couple next door in 1206 fight for hours. Midweek we had a new family in the same unit slamming doors and screaming at 7am (kids).
