Awesome 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!

So much better than I anticipated

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!

Wonderful unit

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.

Perfect stay! Highly recommend

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 It was a bit outdated but that didn’t matter to us.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.

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.
