Reviewer Comments:
If it wasn't for the balcony & view this would have been a bad unit to rent. It's really worn, furniture (especially sofa) is old & some is torn. You have to put pillows under the head on the sofa because it's lower than the foot. Screen door in loving room didn't slide & in bedrooms you really had to work to get them open/closed. It's in need of renovations. Honestly, I felt it was overpriced & did not live up to the pictures. This was our 3rd time @ Nautilus & we liked that unit a lot, just wish it were higher up than 2nd floor. We won't rebook this unit again though we will stay at The Nautilus, staff is very nice.

My husband knows I love the beach and when I mentioned I'd love to wake up to turning 60 on the beach he said without hesitation, let's go.He didn't see what all the hoopla was about the first time we went (he's a woodsy guy) but he even said this time it was great! The condo was perfect with amazing views! Location was great and not too busy! We will definitely go back to Nautilus 1601 on Okaloosa Island!

My BFF and I go every year to Ft. Walton and have always stayed about 5 condos up the beach. Several issues with the place that we have gone to for years made us look for another condo. I am so glad that I kept looking at the Nautilus when I was ready to book. Finding the Nautilus was a step out of our comfort zone as we stick to our beach/eating routines on a daily basis. We are 65 and 70 yrs. old and are creatures of habit. LOL! We did not know what to expect. The Nautilus was fabulous! From the very beginning they were great communicators. I was very informed about what to do and expect in order to have a glitch free vacation. The Nautilus was still close to everything that we were used to. We had everything that we needed in 1601 and more (with the exception of a gigger measure and dustpan) I have never stayed at a condo that was so well equipped! I had the master suite, and it was very comfortable. My friend stated that her bedroom/bath were comfortable as well. There is a built-in ice maker that is the bomb! Not to mention the side by side frig/freezer that kept everything very cold, which also has an ice maker. The beach view from 1601 is amazing! I loved how large the wrap around balcony is. Seats about 9 people. 1601 is just steps from the elevator, and trash chute. A very short walk to the beach. Everything was on our end of the building. We used the charcoal grills, and I must say that it was very difficult to lite as the wind is so strong, and there are no shields to deter the winds from the grills. Several people abandoned the effort. (The grills will not make me not go back). We watched the fireworks from the marionette balcony that looks over the bay side. I will definitely book there again next year. This is the first time that my feet were not black from walking around in a unit! Everyone that we came in contact with that works there were very friendly. I should have found this place several years ago. I will be booking Nautilus again!

Stayed here for years but very disappointed the last couple years We were notified the condo was ready early. We did not arrive early because years past we always had to wait until condo was ready First of all the condo floor was filthy. Our two-year-old grandson feet where black just walking/playing on the floor the first night we got there. a list of all the things wrong: bathroom facet wouldn't drain Plug ins in the kitchen didn't work (2) Bedroom dresser drawer didn't close Shower head (rain shower) barely trinkled out and no hot water to it, the washer had a lot of black mold all around the rubbed. The mattress on the 2nd bedroom is shot very uncomfortable .We went to the office several times and it was closed pretty much the whole week we were there. I happened to run into the woman that checked us in that week and mentioned to her that I been going to office to notify them of the problems, but no one was ever there. Her reply was you got a phone don't ya.. Anyway, she sent a maintenance man, and he fixed the sink and said he would have to order rubber for washer because he couldn't get all the mold out. We loved this condo, and the view is spectacular along with the balcony but very disappointed this year. The pool was never cleaned either had bugs and leaves all the time the only time it was cleaned was the day we left.Needless to say, we paid about 1000. more this year than last for the same week. We did end up getting a refund of 166. for cleaning

We really enjoyed the oversized deck and beautiful view. The condo was overall in good shape and clean, but the kitchen cabinets needed to be cleaned and some repairs to electrical outlets were needed. Nevertheless, I would stay there again.

Beautiful house..
The house is beautiful and the view is worth the penny. One room has an amazing gulf view but the other one is on the opposite side so just the city view. The patio is huge and very beautiful. The downside is they don’t provide body wash or shampoo and very limited towels so don’t forget to carry yours.

It was our first time staying at a condo( previously we stayed at a beach front hotel), I have to say it exceeded ally expectations. The room was very well outfitted and felt like home. The view was beautiful with a spacious balcony. If we come back to fort Walton it will be where we will stay again. 5 stars.

This is a special place for our family to meet for the holiday. It was wonderful, one reason we keep returning. Even think about coming back during summer for a short vacation and take in the summer atmosphere. Only 2 things to mention: shower liner in master bath needs replacement as it had mold on it, one blue chair at the bar needs to be reinforced as it was wobbly afraid to sit on it as it may have broken. Just minor fixes, but everything else was simply awesome.

Caution owner could change their mind
We booked condo #1601 6 months advance and deposit was accepted. A month prior to arrival we were notified by the Nautilus rentals that the condo wasn't available. They moved us to another condo on the same floor (#1606) , also a corner unit which we highly desired. Unit#1606 was fine and we would stay again. Upon check in I inquired about unit change and was told the owners were using #1601 and that is why we couldn't get in. We were very happy with the Nautilus rentals but not the owner of Unit 1601.
