Great place and view. Beach was amazing and you have access to grocery and restaurants less than 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay there again. Loved that they provide you with beach chairs, a cooler, beach bag, and towels. We flew so that made it very convenient for us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was relaxing, which is what we wanted. We love coming to Nautilus. But have to say we were disappointed in renting a “Penthouse” and finding it was no more than a 2 bdrm condo. Nice, clean, and spacious. But elements like kitchen cookware and kitchen amenities overall, need replacement and more character and welcoming needs updating to condo. Too sterile.
