Beautiful view from the balcony, nice having a bath and a 1/2. Condo was clean and cozy. Would stay again.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug 2026
Thanks for the review! Happy to hear the condo felt clean and comfortable and that the extra half bath and balcony views made your stay enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again.
Wonderful place to stay. Loved having the beach chairs and umbrellas each day. We did pay an extra 15 a day to make sure our chairs were reserved where we wanted them. Definitely worth the added cost. Beach and water was amazing. So clear! Front office was very good at communicating with us throughout the week. Recommended places to eat: Floyds and Al's nearby and in Destin: Pompano Joes and Tailfins. Ate at Shakers which was also nearby but the food was not good. Our only complaint would be the bed. It was a little sunken in the middle so not very comfortable but we made it work! Would definitely stay there again!

Comfortable condo for relaxing. Balcony was perfect for the view. It was convenient to have beach service (chairs and umbrella). Good communication with management company. Close to Stewby's restaurant. Would stay here again if we are in the area.

We had a very nice stay. Loved the neutral decor. The only windows face the ocean so it is easy to forget everything else. It was well-equipped. Everything worked. Would definitely rent this unit again. Loved the 6th floor view. We have been frequent visitors to the area for years and have stayed a number of times at Nautilus. Property has been upgraded a bit since we last visited.

Condo was nice size for just my husband and I. Could definitely accommodate another two people. Currently, there are only vertical blinds in the bedroom. Drapes should be added to darken the room. Cookie sheets should be replaced. Other than that this condo met our needs and was very comfortable, located directly on the beach. The pool was nice and clean. The condo was really very quiet. Nice family atmosphere. I would go there again. I would rate this place a 3.8 out of 5.

Reviewer Comments:
Too many children so too much noise while trying to sleep. The south elevator rarely worked. The master bedroom bed was very uncomfortable. No ice maker. Since we are retirees, on a fairly fixed income, the last few years of increasing prices is making it nearly impossible for us to afford staying at the Nautilis. We have been VIG’s for a number of years and we are saddened that we may no longer be able to afford your condo. The staff has always treated us exceptionally well. We appreciate them very much.
This condo is small put perfect for the two of us. Great view It is close to the beach and has a nice pool. My only suggestion is throw out the coffee table. It is in the way!

We recently stayed at Nautilus unit 1602 and enjoyed our experience. The condo is positioned with a beautiful view of the beach from both living room, and bedroom. The staff and check in/out processes were all simple and smooth. Quick walk down to the beach, chair service was included. Bed was comfortable. Condo was clean and equipped with necessities. We were able to get to restaurants and other areas of the island easily from the condo and were able to rent a golf cart from a nearby business and use it to commute around the island. Would definitely recommend coming to FWB and staying with Nautilus.
