Condo had everything we needed for our weeklong stay at The Nautilus unit 1606. It was very comfortable and we loved the balcony furniture and the view was amazing, especially in the late evenings with the full moon shining brightly over the ocean.

Thanks for the wonderful review! So glad 1606 had everything you needed for a comfortable weeklong stay. The balcony furniture is a favorite, and that full‑moon view over the ocean sounds incredible — late evenings out there are hard to beat. We’re happy you enjoyed your time with us.

I’ve been all over the emerald coast in several different condos. This one was by far the most convenient. Hardly ever a wait for the elevator, easy, plentiful, parking. Convenient location. Short walk to the beach. The condo was well stocked and comfortable. The building was clean and well kept. Would definitely stay here again

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was so clean ! The views were amazing. Beds firm and comfortable. Plenty of seating inside and out. I’d book again. The wicker furniture may need to be cleaned / checked for mold/mildew in the master bed. That’s my only complaint. The smell is strong.
Checking in was extremely easy. All instructions were email and texted prior to our arrival. We arrived much earlier than anticipated so we planned on going to the beach while we waited for our unit. Fortunately for us the unit was ready and we went right up to unpack. The carts to assit with luggage were a huge help! 1606 was such an amazing room. Very clean, well stocked and the view of the Gulf is indescribable. We didnt utilize the kitchen much but from snooping through the cabinets it appeared as if they would have anything necessary. The master beadroom had the best views with large floor to ceiling sliding doors. We slept with the shades open so we could wake up to the sunrise on the ocean. We stayed for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed many more. The beach service was very convenient and the beach was never crowded. 100/10 would recommend!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that your check-in experience was smooth and that Unit 1606 exceeded expectations. It’s always a treat when early arrivals align with early readiness—and we’re glad you got to settle in and enjoy that breathtaking Gulf view right away.
We love that you noticed the little touches, from the luggage carts to the well-stocked kitchen (even if just for a peek!). Waking up to the sunrise through those floor-to-ceiling doors sounds like a dream, and we’re so happy the beach service and peaceful shoreline added to your stay.
Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime—hopefully for a longer visit next time!

We love our stay at Nautilus and this is our second time to stay in this condo. We have a problem though when we got there, the condo will not open with the given code. We arrived after office hour and there is no reception on site. We have to call. It took the agents more than an hour to sort out what to do and finally told us we can get the key just right by the door too with a code. Though we were able to get inside we feel disappointed that we traveled for more than 8 hours and we are tired and looking forward to sit and relax and that happened and it was so hot outside waiting. Also be aware that the bathroom shower by the main bedroom clogged when we were there. We noticed the water was draining too slow and eventually clogged and was not able to use the shower for the night. Glad there is another full bathroom. I gave 4 stars overall because of the issues we encounter. The view was fantastic in this unit though. It was clean and have everything we needed from cooking pots, utensils, beach towels etc. Still highly recommended to book and stay in Nautilus!

The porch is huge and the ice-maker in the unit is so thoughtful! Has everything you need for a great vacation and the master bath upgrade is beautiful. They even accepted a grocery order for me and put it away prior to arrival!! Love this unit and will keep coming back.

Some items available for use in kitchen were not working (blender & margarita machine) balcony furniture old as well but functional. Would stay at property again but not this unit without updates.

The room was very nice and clean. The pool was very small for the size of the hotel. It could have used a bigger pool. The neighbors above us was very loud all night and kelp us up all night, and the neighbors a couple of doors down got in a argument in the wee early hours and the cops came because of them. But the hotel was overall clean and in a nice area. I would stay there again and hope for better neighbors.

We had a beautiful view of the ocean and we go back every year because it is the best place for vacation
Love that the umbrella and chairs at the beach came with the condo. Disliked a weird smell when you first walk-in to the condo. Outdated furniture and kitchen cabinets as well as bathrooms. The master bedroom comforter had a stain on it and food and leftover food in the night stand draws. Cleaning crew came to change it out but just walked into the condo with no knocking or anything to announce their arrival. Wrap around balcony was perfect. Could see the dolphins in the morning. Perfect location to the beach. Probably wouldn’t stay at this condo again but possibly another one in the same building.

We returned to Okaloosa Island this year for a 3-month getaway from a Wisconsin winter. We had a great stay. When issues arose the staff responded quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend Nautilus. Clean condos, reasonable rates, and a very responsive staff.
We hit at a perfect time sunrises and sunsets over the gulf easily viewed from the balcony. We were also greeted daily with dolphins, herons osprey and manta rays in addition to normal shorebirds. The nature was great but the condo and staff were perfect. Unit 1606 was so perfect for our loves. Access to the beach was simple as was accessto the pool. To be fair the condo is a little older and the furniture is not brand new, but the price was appropriate.
