🌴 Off-Season Value (November–February) SNOWBIRDS
November through February is our off-season, offering quieter beaches, cooler weather, and our lowest rates of the year. Guests interested in extended winter stays are welcome to ask about special monthly snowbird pricing. During this time, associations and owners may schedule routine maintenance, updates and improvements, so there may occasionally be nearby daytime noise between November 1 and February 28. Our reduced seasonal rates reflect this possibility.

I loved this condo. It has a ton of room, and the view is astounding.
Property was well decorated. Plenty of towels. Condo was clean. Beaches were clean, not crowded. Would love a Keurig in kitchen. Hope to stay here again! TV in master bedroom was “glitchy” but that was the only (very minor) issue.

This was our first time on Okaloosa Island. The condo was perfect for us! We chose the bigger room because it was our wedding and our room could be used as a meeting point for everyone in town. The balcony was huge! The views were breathtaking. Everyone that stayed with us loved their rooms too. I can honestly say we will be back.

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.

Reviewer Comments:
The dishes in the cabinet were all dirty, caked on egg and food from whoever stayed there last, half of the silverware looking like it had been used and put back in. Blinds were broken, bed was FULL of sand like the sheets had never been washed, plus there were stains on the blanket. The windows in the bed room were taped shut with blue tape. None of the sinks drained when we went to use them. The hot water ran out after 5 minutes of use so no one could use the bathroom. . Initially staff was super friendly but when we came down to check out the acted like he couldn’t be bothered to look at us. Not sure where the resort fees and $150 cleaning fee are going but it’s definitely not for cleaning and upkeep.
