🌴 Off-Season Value (November–February) SNOWBIRDS

November through February is our off-season, offering quieter beaches, cooler weather, and our lowest rates of the year. Guests interested in extended winter stays are welcome to ask about special monthly snowbird pricing. During this time, associations and owners may schedule routine maintenance, updates and improvements, so there may occasionally be nearby daytime noise between November 1 and February 28. Our reduced seasonal rates reflect this possibility.

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: Overall we enjoyed our stay. we really had only one minor issue. Our stand alone ice maker did not work. The staff came several time trying to fix it but it never worked. For me personally we worked around it, not that big of a deal. BUT to another guest (family) this might be an issue. Also wifi was weak and spotty ran a little slow. A faster wifi connection would be awesome. Staff was nice and very helpful!

Thanks for the great review! Really glad your stay went well overall. We appreciate the heads‑up about the ice maker and the slower wifi — those notes help us improve things for everyone. Happy to hear our staff took good care of you. Hope to see you again on your next trip.

Liked: Location
The living room in this condo unit is very small. It can only seat four people, additionally the furniture is very uncomfortable and the two white chairs are in desperate need of cleaning. They are very dirty. Good location and nice view of the Gulf, but for the most part, our vacation was sadly just about ruined because we could almost never use the balcony due to the heavy smoking of others above us, below, and on both sides of our balcony. It was constant. There were also people vaping and smoking in the exterior hallways and on the beach. In the front bedroom there is a very large cable for the TV that is exposed on the floor, right in front of the sliding glass door. It's very dangerous as one could trip on it and hurt themselves.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear parts of your stay didn’t meet expectations. We appreciate your notes regarding the living room furniture and the chairs, and we’ll be reviewing those items. The smoking you experienced on neighboring balconies and in common areas is unfortunately outside our control, but we understand how frustrating that can be. The exposed TV cable in the front bedroom has now been secured to prevent any tripping hazard. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and Gulf view, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at Fort Walton Beach with Nautilus. The only complaint I have is that when we were leaving and getting ready to clean up, there were no extra trash bags in the condo. Also, there was no soap in one of the bathrooms, and there was not shampoo/conditioner, etc as the sheet said there would be. Anyway, overall it was a great stay.

Susan, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the Nautilus. I wish you would have asked about the missing bar of soap. Condo's are a bit different than hotels in that we only provide a "starter" kit of supplies---I am looking for the sheet that says we have shampoo/conditioner so we can change that as we have never supplied that. I do hope you come back and visit us again someday! Cheryl, GM
