This was our second time staying at Nautilus. The location is great and the view was perfect. Easy check in and out. Condo could use a little updating but overall great stay.
The condo had the most beautiful views of the beach. It was big enough for our family of 4, close enough to Destin to easily be able to go do things there, but far enough away we didn’t have all the traffic. We will be back for future vacations! The washer and dryer are noisy, but we made it work!
We went for a whole month. We have went to Florida for years but the first time in this area. It is perfect. Beautiful and laid back. The condo had the perfect view. It was exactly as pictured. It was very clean!! Never saw one bug! Very quiet, beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Could use some updating but definitely easy to overlook!
This unit is ocean front. The condo itself was pretty quiet.
We did have some issues with the unit which I communicated with RealJoy to be addressed after we checked out. I appreciated the numerous texts and emails from RealJoy which made the check in/out process very simple. We will definitely book the unit we stayed in again. We had a wonderful vacation.

Needs updating
It served the purpose. Shower and bed. It looks as if it has original furnishings from 1980. Very much needs updating ! Washer, dryer and dishwasher were so loud you could hardly hear TV ( which was a 32" in main living:( ) Great view and large balcony were the pluses.
The view was amazing ! We seen Dolphins every day. Sting Rays . got to witness a sea turtle being filmed by a drone. Surfers . i love walking on the beach collecting shells. Not many big ones here. But we did get lots a small ones and even found a sand dollar. Cant say enought about the Beach ❤️❤️❤️. The condo was nice. But needed a few updates . the carpet and sofa needs a good cleaning or replaced. We had trouble with the TV on second day and the were right out to help us.
The property is very clean and the perfect location. The unit itself needs major updates, saggy mattresses, worn furniture, bathroom fan doesn't work, it just all needs attention.
We loved our stay! I had a few non negotiables in renting a condo…clean, beautiful view, easy check in and out. This condo gets an A plus on all of those. It was a bit outdated but that didn’t matter to us. The beds were super comfy! Very clean, amazing view, easy check in and out. I messaged the team about a door and the response was almost instant. Would definitely stay again.
Excellent location, family friendly. We did have bad weather which caused a lot of seaweed on the pretty days but the location was so close to indoor attractions. I will definitely be booking this condo again!!
Very convenient place to stay. Great vacation spot
I have stayed at the Nautilus twice. I will stay again. We were able to check into the condo a couple of hours early which really helped us out after traveling with a 1 year old. The condo is clean. Located right on the beach. The pool is nice. Check-in process was very easy. The ocean view is beautiful. We did not have any issues at all during our stay.
Condo had great beach view. Very quiet and nice pool.Unit needs updates but understand due to all the hurricanes lately. Need to update pics on rental sites.Had a great vacation overall.

Great Place
Enjoyed our stay - the condo was just as the pictures showed - great space and the kitchen was well equipped and plenty of towels. Complex was clean and well maintained -Beds were ok and guest bedroom needs different blinds - the hall light from outside shines through

Perfect for listening to the waves for days
Loved the patio and view of the ocean! The condo was cute and cozy. We had an issue with the freezer leaking water into the fridge but we didn't let it ruin out stay-cation.
Great on the beach location with a perfect balcony view. Condo was clean and stocked well. Could use some updating but comfortable.

Great place!
Very clean. Right on the beach. Amazing views! Wouldn’t recommend for this looking to use the pool because the pool is in the parking lot not overlooking the beach. But for those more interested in the beach, this place is A+++!

The unit I stayed in is in great need of a fix up.
Location is great but property overall needs some tender loving care.
