After checking in we were notified that the washer was not working. They were able to get a solution for us quickly and made sure we were able to use another units washer until they replaced it with a new one. I have stayed at this establishment for the past 5 years and I will continue to comeback. They are always nice, the units are always clean, and the views are amazing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean and the views are great! We did run into a couple of issues. The mattress in the bedroom needs replaced, it is not comfortable and you can see that is indented from being used for so long. The sheets for the pullout couch were not dirty but did have a stain on them. I had clean blankets that I used instead for my kids.

Thank you for the review and the feedback! Sorry you were disappointed in the mattress in the bedroom, often times mattresses are subject to personal preference, the mattress in the bedroom is a high quality mattress and we have received positive feedback related to the mattress also. I apologize for missing the stain on the sheets for the pull out couch, as you noted they were clean but we must have missed a stain on them.

Everything we needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nautilus 1605 was everything we needed. Good space and layout for a 1BR condo. Great location right on the beach with a perfect view. Appreciated that the property management coordinates with the beach rental company to include a chair/umbrella setup in the price. Especially appreciated was the friendly staff who helped to ensure we had what we needed, answered questions, and addressed any issues. The island itself isn't incredibly walkable, but we're very excited to visit once the construction is complete and the greenway goes to Destin. Did enjoy being right on the coast, with easy access to explore Ft. Walton. Would recommend to anyone visiting that area of town.

There during Hurricane Sally

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rode out hurricane Sally at the Nautilus. We lost power and had a bit of water intrusion, but I still give 5 stars due to one person. The morning after the hurricane, all of the bridges were closed so the only employee there was the GM - Cheryl, who lives on the property. She was amazing, going from condo to condo and checking on everyone. She was also being bombarded with calls from concerned property owners who were checking on their units. She worked her tail off and I never saw her discouraged - the Nautilus is in fantastic hands with Cheryl.On top of that, the place has been renovated since my last visit with new sliding doors and windows; in addition to an overall exterior paint job. It really looks nice.You can't beat the location with a very short walk to the beach and a Tom Thumb store in the adjacent parking lot.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 May 2022
Douglas, Thank you so much for your awesome review. I will pass this along to Cheryl. I am sorry you had to be here during the hurricane, but I am so glad you had a positive experience overall.
