Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great stay here. The house was perfect for our family getaway and would easily suit a group of friends too. It’s in a really handy spot, about a 15 minute walk into Main Street.The views are absolutely phenomenal and the pool was definitely a highlight for us. Super relaxing and a great place to spend the afternoons.Would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Airlie Beach.

The house was perfectly equipped for a large number of guests and also a nice little walk to the main street.However, the accommodation is in need of a little tlc, especially the outside pool area. There are a few loose tiles, nails sticking up from the timber boards and alot of old and wobbly boards as well. The garden could possibly be maintained a little better too,there was a large dead palm leave that was just hanging close to the pool area. Not a big deal but as it gets quite windy up the top of the hill, it was constantly banging against the palm tree, which sounded like someone was using a hammer all day. Also 2 of the bedrooms up stairs have the very top windows blocked out using some form of plastic sheet which is just sticky tapped around the windows. Im assuming this is to block out the sun but in one of the bedrooms you can hear the plastic sheet moving in the wind, we initially thought it was put there because the window was smashed, but it isn't. Some blinds in this area could probably be utilised better than the current situation. Other than that, the house was good for a group getaway.

Great holiday home

Views from the house are amazing even with the rain. Check in was super easy and Michelle was great in answering any questions we had. House is only a short taxi ride or walk into town. We spent most of our time at the pool as there was shade, bbq and fridge at our convenience!

Amazing property and location

We thoroughly loved our stay. The house was immaculate and a pleasure to come home to especially after a good walk up the hill. Easy access to Main Street and the view absolutely incredible! Pool spa jets didn’t work but no big deal. Overall incredible place, we felt lucky to have been able to stay here and sit out to enjoy the daily view with the local cockatoos visiting. Thank you.

Relaxing stay!

Family of 10 stayed at this home. Plenty of space for everyone! We loved the outdoor area and huge kitchen. We probably needed one more bathroom as there was only one main bathrooms (two are en-suite so we had to share) and there is one room with a sky light which made it hard for children to sleep. The WiFi isn’t great either. Views are incredible of the marina and we used the bbq in the pool are daily. We didn’t all fit in the living area and didn’t really use the downstairs lounge area as it was in someone’s bedroom. Lots of stairs which was tricky for young children but overall enjoyed our stay and felt comfortable!

Absolutely The Best Property In Airlie Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our holiday at Nautilus On The Hill. We had 2 families and there was plenty of room and lots of outdoor and indoor sitting areas. The swimming pool was the highlight and must be one of the largest residential pools in airlie beach. We booked this property through Whitsunday Holiday Rentals as we have used this company before and they have never let us down yet.The service you get from this company is just incredible from the time we booked to when we handed in our keys. We have already booked Nautilus again for the end of the year so can't wait to come back. Thank you to the Team.

We love hearing that there was ample space for everyone to spread out and unwind, both indoors and outdoors. The pool is definitely a showstopper, and we're so glad it was a highlight for you. Maybe it is the biggest in Airlie Beach – that's a fun fact we'll have to investigate! We're also incredibly grateful for your kind words about Whitsunday Holiday Rentals. Building strong relationships with our guests is key to creating amazing guest experiences, and we believe that is our special ingredient.

Great location but slippery around pool

The location and size of the property are amazing. However we did have an issue with the slippery flooring by the pool. My grandmother sustained significant injuries due to a fall from the top step of the bbq area and will require surgery. Please be careful as it is very slippery and I wouldn’t like anyone else to be injured. We believe this accident could have been avoided if a nonslip finish was on the flooring around the pool rather than gloss and if handrails were installed.
