🌴 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.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that Unit 1406 hit all the right notes—from comfy beds to that master shower (it really is a guest favorite!). Our team works hard to be responsive and helpful, so it’s wonderful to know that made a difference during your stay. And yes—that view is hard to leave behind! We’d love to welcome you back anytime for a longer stay and more Gulf-front relaxation.

I know there are roches in the area, but we had lots of them in every room, we have stay in the same unit before and they was not a problem so not sure why this time. Also we had ants in the bedroom and kitchen, they did spray when we called about them. Also 1 towel per guess is crazy I am on vacation I don’t want to wash towels every day.

Great view, spacious and clean unit. Would have liked to see more household items, ie flashlight, scissors, Tupperware, extra bedding. We had extra pillows but no pillow cases. Only 1 extra blanket. Nothing major that wld stop us from returning. Lots of space to add books or games to the unit for a rainy day. Anything we needed mgt on site was available and very friendly. Beach service was amazing and so convenient!! Area was a traffic mess with construction but doable! Would like to see more awareness to sea life! They have info posted but unit was not sea life friendly, ie, heavier drapes to block out lights, posting more to remind folks to use flashlights w red lenses. Was sad not to find any sea turtle nests roped off....nights the beach was full of white bright flashlights both ways up and down beach! Beach was huge w magnificent views!! Even when crowded did not feel crowded! Pool was clean and had plenty of seating! Location was ok, close enough for groceries, restaurants and a marina for a boat trip!! We did soundside cruiser and was a great experience! Price was reasonable and they really took time to create a great experience, kid friendly as well! Loved the texts that Nautilus sent as reminders from before, during and at checkout! Was very helpful!! Would recommend for sure!!

As a repeat vacationer our unit was just as pleasant as before. We did see some relaxed appearance in the overall condition of the property. Normally in the spring the surroundings are freshly fluffed and ready for a peak season, this year we got the feeling it had been a long busy season. Overall good experience and plan another visit soon.

Awful. Ice machine was broken upon arrival and we were never made aware of that. A group of men knocked on our door while we were dressing telling us they needed to fix said ice maker without any notice they were coming. There weren’t enough amenities nor accommodations for a family of 6, such as extra towels, shampoo, lotion, conditioner, sheets, pillows. The place really shouldn’t be for a family over 3 and definitely not suitable for young children. Needs a lot of updates for price requested per night. Lights needed replacing inside and on balcony due to being out. Washer/dryer needs to be replaced. There was leftover soap scum in master shower soap dish. Toothpaste spit on picture frames in bathroom. Very unhappy. We reached out to the office twice and never heard back. Once through text and once through our review we handed to them requesting some type of refund. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Overall we had a good experience. The view from the room was great. You don't go on vacation to sit in a room so location is important also. For us the location was perfect. Close to restaurants, shopping, jet ski rentals, fishing etc. Of course easy access and a short walk to the beach.
Everything was easy and organized. No issues. The condo was exactly like the pictures. We enjoyed our stay.

This was my 12th or 13th vacation taken at the Nautilus and it will also be my last. My family has been staying there for approximately 12 years now, sometimes multiple times per year. We have always stayed a minimum of of 7 days during the summer and in the most recent years 16 nights per visit. The quality of this condo has drastically gone down to an almost unacceptable level. When we arrived this year we had several issues, the ice maker was broken, the oven did not work along with 1 burner that would not come on and 1 that would not always turn off, and the lounge on the balcony had a large rip in it making it unusable as well. The towels provided were basically stained rags and there wasn’t enough for a family of 4 to use once. The sheets were stained and tattered. The ice maker never got repaired, the stove was replaced 2 days before our departure. Not to mention the elevator broke at least 6 out of the 16 days we were there. Several days prior to our departure we tried to make reservations for summer 2022. There has been a 55% price increase (they must be trying to pay for the new paint on the building) over the summer 2021 prices, on the unit we requested for the same length of stay and during the same time frame. They mention a million dollar view on their website, now it will almost cost you that much to stay there. When I asked to speak to management, I was ignored. I made several additional requests to speak to management with no reply. Our family and friends occupied 6 units there this summer and were planning on doing the same for 2022. With the lack of communication from management, we will be taking our business elsewhere. We felt like we were imposing on them rather than welcomed by them as we were in years past. The Nautilus is now the 3rd most expensive condo on the island. Do yourself a favor and do a little looking, you will find a better quality unit for a better price and much better management.
