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.

Thank you for the perfect 10/10, Timothy! We’re so glad you enjoyed the clean unit and that beautiful beach view from the deep covered porch. It’s wonderful to hear you plan to stay with us again — we look forward to welcoming you back to the Nautilus!
View was great. Did notice (2) maintenance issues that you may want to check. A/C is in need of replacing. Light over stove doesn’t work. Everything else was great. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.

Very clean and well organized. Having the under counter ice maker and beach service was a plus. Communication with property manager via text messages was the best service I have experienced. Rate that a 10. Will stay again

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.

Reviewer Comments:
Really enjoyed our trip and stay at Nautilus. We love that we had a beach view and could sit there early morning and evening and hear the waves. Condo had everything we needed. It was close to several places to eat
The property itself needs updates and cleaning. The room definitely needed a deep clean and updates. Beds werent very comfy. There was someone elses hair tie in the shower when we got there. Condo was overall comfy and suited our needs. View was great. Beach access was great. Pool was nice. Would stay here again.
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!

This room has a fantastic view. We loved everything about the condo and the stay. Only downfall is there are a lot of mirrors for the amount of space. Main suite has the best view, however the 2nd room stares at a concrete wall.

We are returning customers to the Nautilus for the past 20 years. We love it here! The unit we stayed in was perfect except the sofa bed needs replaced. Also, the washer is very loud and utility closet needs a thorough cleaning.
This condo was awesome. This makes the 5th year we have came to this area on fall break in October. This is by far our favorite condo we have stayed in. Its the perfect size. Decortaed so cute, comfortable big beds and the location was great. There was an outdoor table on the balcony so we could enjoy breakfast every morning. There is a separate ice machine in the kitchen, we filled our cooler up with it daily and was able to take drinks and lunch to the beach with us. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The pool is great, its shaded most of the day so when you are over the sun you can go enjoy some shade and not have to reaply sun screen. We most definitely will be choosing this condo again next time we vacation in Florida!

My family and I have been coming to Ft. Walton to vacation for years and never had I experienced it quite like this! As a family of 6 with kids ages 13,10,5, and 2 months, we needed space for everyone to be comfortable. This condo did not let us down! The view was AMAZING!! We were on the 3rd floor. The condo was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We were close to all of the attractions and this place just felt like home away from home! We will definitely be returning!!
