🌴 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.

Condo is in a great location. Nice view from the balcony and easy access to the beach. Really liked having the beach umbrella and chairs provided. No hassle to check in or check out.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Nautilus. The corner unit had breathtaking views and made for an amazing stay! We were pleasantly surprised to find even more updates than what were listed.
We hope to stay in this same unit every year!

This was our first vacation ever as a family. I can’t speak more highly of our stay! The room was perfect. Tons of room. Also had plenty of beach amenities to use during our stay! It made things much easier. The views are exceptional!! I also had a slight problem with the master bathroom shower head breaking, but the staff was very understanding and helpful in every way! Definitely will be booking again in the near future! Thank you Nautilus for a wonderful experience!

Reviewer Comments:
The office staff were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. It was nice to be called by name when I would enter, it is just an added little touch. The room was beautiful and spacious. We were there for a softball tournament and we had a few other families staying there as well. We had a wonderful week and will return one day when our schedules allow.
We loved the beautiful view and balcony. Absolutely perfection. The room came with beach service (two chairs and an umbrella), and additional chairs, floats and beach toys in the condo. The office staff were very friendly. However, we wont be back. The cleaning staff are sub par. Any metal finishes were rusty, food crumbs in the kitchen corners, broken microwave handle that you could tell was previously glued back on (they brought a new one), food grime on the stove handle, makeup on what i hooe was fresh sheets and the worst, roaches. We even left a day early because we weren't willing the bring them home with us. We were too grossed out.
Everything went very smoothly from check-in to check-out. Ladies in the management office were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived around 2:30 and our condo was ready although official check-in wasn’t until 4:00. The condo was everything we hoped it would be. Gorgeous view from the large balcony and very peaceful also. As mentioned in other reviews the master bedroom does get quite warm however waking up with 2 walls of windows overlooking the beach was well worth it. Beach service was fantastic and Evan went above and beyond to not only take care of the vacationers but also the beach itself. We will definitely be returning.

Evan is my son and I'm very proud of the fact he cares about our guests, and the beautiful beaches! We look forward to you returning.

Awesome veranda. But the rest not so much. Someone’s dirty underwear on the bedroom floor when we checked in, sheets did not look changed, oven door and side of refrigerator full of grease, utensils not fully cleaned, main bedroom door falling off hinges and will not close. One elevator looks permanently down, the button sticks on other elevator. No where to pull under to load or unload in the rain. Entire building and grounds open without locking security.

Lovely view from the balcony! The Condo was clean and had everything we needed. The whole place needs a little updating. The sliding doors were very loud and didn't slide well. The screen was torn on one door and the railings had a lot of chipped paint concrete on the walls were crumbling but if you can overlook the little things it was very nice. The view was fantastic we spent alot of time on the balcony when we weren't on the beach or enjoying nearby Destin. I would recommend!!

I am a sunchaser who loves sunrises and sunsets. This was the perfect condo to experience both! The sunrise from the bedroom and the sunset from the Balcony. I shared a few concerns with the property manager and they were quick to address my concerns. The only additional recommendation is to consider getting some chairs with backs for the kitchen table or bar. As a senior Citizen, it was not comfortable sitting in either spot. Overall, the condo is very relaxing and comfortable.
