🛑 VERY IMPORTANT

 From October 29 until approximately November 14, 2025 we will be replacing the roof. While some construction noise is inevitable, the new roof will be installed using adhesives and applied over a thick concrete deck, which will minimize sound.

From December 8–19, 2025, the 🏊‍♂️ pool and the 🌉 beach crossover will be temporarily closed for scheduled repairs. However, guests will still have easy beach access 🏖️ via the public walkway 🚶‍♀️ located just next door to the east—we’ll have a 🚪 gate open to make this route simple and convenient.

🛑 Note: Décor, furniture, and appliances may be updated or changed at the owner's discretion. Photos and descriptions are subject to change.

Overall the unit was comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with amenities for enjoying the beautiful ocean both outside and inside the unit! The building itself offered a clean pool, grilling equipment and building staff who provided excellent support Some exterior issues need attention, particularly water accumulating around entrance areas and parking lot could be a slip hazard. Otherwise, this is an excellent choice for a comfortable and relaxing vacation that I look forward to enjoying again soon. Dr. Pat H.

The location is perfect with easy access to the beach and Tom Thumb next door which we used a lot. The towels had an odor to them and did not absorb well. We will bring our own next time. The bed was overly soft and hot. The one- bedroom condo was small in the living area. It is an older facility but we keep coming back due to the location and beach facilities. We spent a lolt of time on the balcony. The beach set up was wonderful

Our only beach place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful stay, as always. Never long enough. This unit could use a little updating in the bathroom & kitchen. Hated the plastic veneer on the cabinets. We do not cook while on vacation, but I do boil water for tea. There was no boiler large enough or tea kettle just to boil water. Coffee maker was hit or miss. Took 30 minutes just to drain through. Had trouble with the entry keypad several times, but management solved the problem immediately each time. Will continue to stay at the Nautilus. The family clientele, due to the rules, makes it the best place ever. I recommend The Nautilus to everyone!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Adequate for a few days....but would have been annoying for longer. Everything was extremely dated and the furniture, especially the couch, was worn and unappealing (stains). The cabinets were in poor condition and overall the place was not a welcome sanctuary...it was just a place to sleep. The unit was not befitting the amazing view.

Someone was smoking in a nearby unit so it made it unbearable to be on the balcony at times.
