Not the unit I booked

Booked through VRBO and when the reservation went through it was for a different unit? By the time I noticed it, it was too late. Be careful , it’s like the old “ bait and switch “ Decided not to use this unit .cannot comment on it.

My 2nd Trip to Florida

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The process to rent this condo was extremely easy.The staff was friendly and very helpful. The unit was exactly like in the pictures and was very clean.The digital code for the door was nice so there was not a key card to keep up with. Overall I am very satisfied with the unit and it was at a fair price point.The nautilus is less than 2 miles from the pier so that was a nice bonus.I would definitely recommend staying here it's very quiet of the evening time and there is very little traffic on the road.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to Florida every year so we have stayed at most of the rentals along Ft Walton. This wasn’t one of my top picks. It was nice enough for booking last minute. Had a good view, beds were comfortable. There was some hair in one of the showers upon arrival. I do think that for the amount of people in our room we should have had more than two rolls of toilet paper available. As well as the one quarter sized circle bar soap per bathroom. Wasn’t a huge deal we just went and bought our own. Seemed to be some electrical wiring issues(the kitchen light flickered often, some of the plugs didn’t work if certain switches were off) Overall it was decent place to stay just not one of our favorites out of the ones we have stayed along that road!

Good location for a quite family of 5.

Quiet and Relaxing

This condo is away from the crowded areas of Fort Walton/Destin. It was so quiet and relaxing. The inside was nice and cute, more than enough space for just my boyfriend and I. The views were a plus! Will book again for sure.

Great stay

We had a great stay at the Nautilus for our first time ever in FWB. The side view was great and there was no extra noise from the parking lot below or the small public parking area next door. The building also was pretty quiet, despite being pretty full. I suppose the old, thick concrete structure was built with some decent sound-proofing between units. The unit itself actually had quite a bit of updated furniture than what was shown in the VRBO listing, which was nice. The beds and linens were comfy and the whole place was quite spacious for our family of 5. The check in process was so smooth and the staff was so welcoming and genuinely friendly upon arrival. While our unit was pretty clean, it could likely use a good deep cleaning, as our crawling baby's knees were quite dark after the first 20 minutes of crawling around as we were getting settled in. Otherwise, nothing but good things to say about the management, building, proximity to beach, and overall property.

The beach access and pool where awesome and staff was attentive to anything. We lived it so much that staying at condo all day was still a vacation. The money we saved going to a grocery store instead of eating out everyday was great.

Awesome!

This property was amazing! It was feet away from the beach and had a very nice pool. The location was perfect and so close to everything. There were 6 of us and the hot water never ran out for back to back showers. 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms made it very comfortable. Only issue is there was 1 elevator for the whole building. Our unit was very clean.

Great Place for Family

We really enjoyed this condo. It was nice, clean, and very comfortable. I loved waking up and being able to sit out on the balcony every morning and view the ocean. The condo has everything you need for your stay. The property itself is older but they do a great job of keeping it clean. I loved the fact that they had a bin on the way to the beach that had pool toys and boogie boards that you could use during your stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Piece of Paradise

This condo is a little piece of paradise! We loved opening the balcony doors, hearing the waves, feeling the breeze, and looking out at the ocean. The condo is spacious, clean, comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The complimentary chair service was a plus as rentals get pricey. The location on Okaloosa Island, in between Ft. Walton Beach and Destin is perfect! The beaches there are beautiful but not as crowded as others, which we appreciate. Being on the island also means you’re close to the restaurants and attractions of both Destin and FWB. The building has been updated, staff is friendly, and it always felt safe. Easy beach access, pool, parking, and close to Tom Thumb, Publix, and Alvin’s Island gift shop. We recommend talking a walk on the Okaloosa Island pier, a dolphin cruise and Crab Island excursion with Destin Snorkel, and soaking up the sun on the beach! We always start our stay with dinner at The Crab Trap at the Boardwalk, and lunch at Pompano Joe’s and the Back Porch are musts! Parlor Donuts and Destination donuts are sweet treats and Burrito del Sol is a good choice for a quick bite. We have stayed elsewhere before, but enjoyed this condo so much we plan to return every time we visit the Emerald Coast!

The design of the property is good, giving all units water view. The units are spacious with overall good location of furniture. Because of the age of the building it could use some accessibility updates. The bathtubs are a bit slippery.
