🛑 VERY IMPORTANT

 From October 29 until approximately November 14, 2025 we will be replacing the roof. While some construction noise is inevitable, the new roof will be installed using adhesives and applied over a thick concrete deck, which will minimize sound.

From December 8–19, 2025, the 🏊‍♂️ pool and the 🌉 beach crossover will be temporarily closed for scheduled repairs. However, guests will still have easy beach access 🏖️ via the public walkway 🚶‍♀️ located just next door to the east—we’ll have a 🚪 gate open to make this route simple and convenient.

Great View - Needs TLC

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.

Great views, great location, beds in the unit were awful

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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!

Beach trip

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided to look for a place in Fort Walton Beach to get away from all of the people in the high towers in Panama City Beach. The location was great but the property is in need of a facelift on the outside and grounds. It looked like some type of water was overflowing in the parking lot.

Family Spring Break!

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: We had a fantastic 6 night stay here for a family spring break with my wife and our two boys (6 & 4 years old). Perfectly sized condo for a family of 4 with young kids and the view from the balcony is gorgeous! Unit was in great condition and the property is well maintained overall with a very helpful staff. The beach speaks for itself and the beach service is definitely a huge plus. We spent our days lounging on the beach and soaking up the sun, and spent our nights either checking out different spots around FWB/Destin or simply enjoying some more quality family time in the condo and eating in/grilling out (3 community charcoal grills for use if you are a big grilling fanatic like me!). Only possible compliant I have is the pool is stuck in the shade with where it is located, which made it cold for the kids given the time of the year (mid-March), but let's be honest we came for the beach and not the pool. Overall it was an incredible stay and I'm sure we will be back again next year for our 3rd year in a row!

Nautilus Condo In Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ft. Walton Beach is a great vacation spot! The beach is awesome! Check-in and check-out went smoothly. The condition of the condo could have been much better and cleaner. All appliances needed work. Some drawer pulls were missing, and paint was damaged all over the condo. The toilets were extremely low. The stairway down to the beach was high and steep, and the pool was small. Proximity to the Thom Thumb was nice. Stewby's has great seafood, and Alvin's Island has everything.

underrated

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

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is hard to beat. A short walk to the beach and chair rentals. We actually rented kayaks for an hour, although we thought it was a little overpriced, it was so much fun. The condo was easy to access and was ready pretty early which was really nice. The fire alarm did go off at 1am from a faulty something and was REALLY loud. Overall, the view and location really made it the best.
