Thank you for the wonderful 5‑star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the amazing view and felt welcomed by everyone at the complex. We’re thrilled you loved your stay in 1404 and hope to have you back again.
A complete winner of a rental. Great communication, really smooth processes for check-in and out, helpful staff. Property was as advertised with a very welcoming feel. Reliable Wi-fi and TV options made screen time enjoyable. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, cookware, and small appliances. Beach time support supplies and the large gulf facing balcony was a real treasure. If this is one of your choices - pick this one and you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for the 10/10 review! We’re glad the condo, beach supplies, and Gulf‑front balcony made your stay a great one. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and communication and would be happy to welcome you back.
Have stayed at Nautilus twice now. Great customer service/easy to communicate. Only negative (at least for us) is that the property allows smoking on the balconies. It is not a smell that some want to experience when they travel to the beach for the fresh air. Aside from that, great vacation!

Thanks for the 10/10 rating and for choosing the Nautilus for a return stay. We’re happy communication, check‑in, and the condo all met your expectations again. We appreciate your note about balcony smoking; although it’s allowed in certain areas, we understand it can be bothersome for guests who prefer a smoke‑free environment. Your feedback is valuable, and we’re glad the rest of your trip was great. We look forward to hosting you again.
Thank you for the perfect 10/10! We’re so glad you had a great stay, and it means a lot to hear the Nautilus has always been good to you. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
Unit was great with full beach view. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The extra beach chairs & beach towels provided were a great bonus!

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first time in Fort Walton Beach area! We usually stay along Miramar Beach! Our stay at this condo had spectacular views of the ocean! We were able to watch the dolphins feed in the mornings right outside on the patio! I love the fact they supply you with a set of chairs and umbrella! We also had extra beach chairs available for use in the closet!! The condo itself self was everything we needed and more! Felt like home! If we return to this area again we would definitely be coming back here!!!
Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved both the condo and the location — it really is a special spot. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again soon.
Property and location was fantastic. Property was neat, clean and exactly as described. The only negative was one of the guest beds and the master bed was squeaky.

Gorgeous waterfront view, condo was very clean and wellKept. Would stay here again! Loved being on this side of town, much quieter and less crowded than Destin and Miramar.
The communication with Management was outstanding. The only downside of this particular condo was the beds. They were very firm. But that's a personal preference. Would recommend. Can not say enough good things about the Management staff.

Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 review! We’re so glad communication with management stood out and helped make your stay easy. We appreciate your note about the beds — firmness can definitely come down to personal preference. The sunrise photos you shared were beautiful. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Great location, good amenities, and steps from the beach. Nice to have an ice maker inside the condo. An added perk is the beach service included. I will definitely return to this property!
I will admit, at first arrival I was hesitant. However, my family and I enjoyed it tremendously!!! Was nice to be away from all the commotion of larger areas, but close enough to them to visit on an evening. The beach was beautiful and WILL be staying at Nautilus again!! If you are looking for a family oriented place, this is it!!

Everything was as advertised. We scheduled this trip late and our regular condo was booked. We’ve stayed at the Nautilus before and this unit was available. This condo is a great value for those looking to not spend too much. We enjoyed our stay. Only suggestion for this unit would be to upgrade the sleeper sofa. We would stay here again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Beautiful waterfront location
Mold in the room. They sprayed for bugs during visit despite the fact that I told them my daughter couldn’t smell the fumes due to the fact of being 7 months pregnant.
Unit was clean and check in was smooth. Everything was as advertised and expected. I and my family had a great time.
The elevator caused some concern however. More specifically along the lines of life safety. If the buttons are short circuiting then there are other issues going on based on personal inspection experience.
My background is in commercial multifamily with heavy experience with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac lending. MBA inspection certified. RE licensed in Florida and GA.
This is a beautiful condo in an absolutely perfect location. Close to many great restaurants and just steps to the beach and the beautiful ocean. It is well stocked in the kitchen and was kept very clean throughout. Our only complaint was, when we were spending considerable time out on our balcony, the people in the condo below us smoked almost incessantly on their balcony, making it very smoky for us. This was really aggravating and we wish, like other condos in the area we have stayed at, that smoking was prohibited in all areas of the condos. It would’ve made for a perfect vacation. Instead, we had to spend more time inside than we would have liked. Having said that, we highly recommend the condo if you are able to tolerate the smoke better than we were.
