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.

Host was very prompt in responding with all the information needed for the stay. The whole process was extremely easy. The location is great as it's convenient to everything we enjoy doing while we are there. The condo was well equipped and clean and the view from the balcony was very nice. As always we enjoyed our stay. You just can't beat the beautiful clear water and soft white sand beach.

The location was perfect. Short, easy walk to the beach. The host was wonderful with sending information about check-in early and was available if we needed. ( which we did not) We were even able to check in early. Would stay here again.

Tara truly thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Her condo was well-equipped and also incredibly welcoming — it instantly felt like home. Communication with her was seamless, and she was always easy to reach if we had questions. None of us were ready to leave when it was time to go! We’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future.

The condo could use a good deep cleaning. There are a bunch of random decor plants that you can see layers of dirt on them along with the base boards. The kitchen is stocked with things needed but all pretty old and again dirtier looking. At first arrival there was a sponge in the sink that you could tell had been used and honestly no one wants to use a sponge from a different family not knowing what it was used for. The location was great and beds were comfy. It was fine in the long run as a place to stay for the week, but again I think a good DEEP clean and some decor removal could help reviews.

This was an excellent stay. My mom and I were very happy with the condo and facilities. It was a short walk to the beach and pool. The condo had everything needed - washer/dryer, coffee maker, ice maker etc. The location was great - away from majority of traffic.

A nice Nautilus stay

Nice and relaxing stay for the most part. Unit was very comfortable and loved the decor. Some maintenance work going on outside at times but overall I would recommend the Nautilus but February is not very warm to enjoy the beach.

About the host

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 actually own a condo here. We have made beautiful memories over the years, and I’m sure you would make great memories of your own. It’s great to now spend at home with my granddaughter… Featured in the photo with me. 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, so crazy drunk teenagers have never been an issue around here. Most of us only rent to 25 years or older
