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.

Great place to stay

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.

Little Piece of Paradise

We had a lovely stay over new year. Only minor issues; a light bulb was missing over the island in the kitchen, the toilet flusher was wonky in the second bathroom, bathroom towels could use replacing, and there were no trash bags in the cans upon arrival. Trash bags were under the kitchen counter for use. Great location and wonderfully decorated and spacious condo. Definitely recommend.

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.

Great time at the beach

Perfect location for a beach vacation. Property is a great location in that it's close several places to eat, stores, and attractions, but doesn't feel touristy. It's right on the beach, but there isn't lot of traffic. The condo is well maintained with the owner being very responsive for a couple of issues that came up during our stay.

Vacation Elation

The property was perfectly located as the area didn't seem crowded but it was minutes to shopping areas or other entertainment options. The property matched the listed description and the owner was easy to reach for any questions. Owner provided detailed instructions for the check-in and checkout processes. The bottom line is this whole experience made the vacation the best.

Great location!

The condo was just like the pictures! Very clean and easy to access. Beach was super close and loved the chairs and umbrella that came with the unit however they do pack up around 330 and all chairs are gone by 5. The couch was a little uncomfortable but that's about it. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Tara Porter

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
