About this property

Nautilus! Sleeps 22! Ocean view! Rooftop deck!

Welcome to Nautilus!

Highlights:
Only 280 feet to the Destin's famous sugar sand beach
Sleeps 22 (not including sofas)
All bedrooms have private baths (no need to share)
Huge pool with tanning shelf (seasonally heated between October 1 and April 30)
3rd floor covered al fresco dining deck
4th floor ocean view observation deck
3 separate living rooms for multiple families
Free 6 seat golf cart
Two free paddleboards

Built in 2023 and located just steps away from the Destin’s famous beach, Nautilus offers super-close access to the Gulf of Mexico, private (seasonally heated between October 1 and April 30) pool, over 5,000 square feet of living comfort and 8 spacious, designer-curated, beach-nouveau bedrooms...all with private bathrooms.

Ready to hit the waves? Enjoy the short stroll to any of the six neighborhood beaches (that are far less crowded than our large public beaches). Or load up your cooler and beach toys in Nautilus’s complementary 2023 six seater golf cart to visit any of the beaches, restaurants, shopping, and activities that are accessible from Nautilus’s prime location along the Destin’s famous Scenic Gulf Drive.

Not a worn out rental. Nautilus features quartz counters, stainless appliances, designer furnishings, and premium mattresses...all in a beachy-fun style!

Nautilus offers 6 king suites with private baths (including two on the first floor that are ideal for mobility challenged Guests); plus two bunkrooms with private baths. That’s a massive sleeping capacity of 22, not including sofas.

Take the outdoor spiral staircase to Nautilus’s amazing 4th floor ocean view deck...perfect for suntanning or savoring an ocean sunset.

Need some adult conversation or separate living spaces for multiple families? Nautilus offers first, second and third floor living spaces (each with its own 65”, high definition, smart TV) to give you plenty of options for elbow room.

No need to drain your wallet on toy rentals. Nautilus includes 2 paddleboards, and a brand new 6 seater golf cart to help make lifelong memories.

And when you are ready to return home, cool off in our pool or lounge on its splash deck. Afterward, grill your fresh caught seafood in the free-to-use propane grill.

Hate traffic? Us, too! No worries with Nautilus. Our community beaches are only a 2 minute walk down the sidewalk; and literally seconds away using Nautilus’s included golf cart.

Nautilus is also less than 3 minute golf cart ride to our public regional beach access points (yep, the huge white beach accesses that you see in brochures); less than a mile from Destin Commons (our premiere shopping, entertainment and dining complex); only minutes away from our area's best oceanfront dining, grocery stores and more.

This property will certainly book soon! Don’t settle for a blah-blah-bland rental! Reserve your preferred dates for one-of-a-kind Nautilus... before it’s too late!

Nautilus Experience

Wonderful property for four generations of our family. House had plenty of space for everyone to get together or spread out in the multiple living spaces. Extremely close to the beach and the pool was a great place to relax in between beach visits. Quick follow up from team on questions - including delivering new ping pong balls. Highly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful Stay

We truly enjoyed our stay at Nautilus. The pictures online were beautiful, just like in person. Everything was wonderful about the property. The only drawback I have about the property, is that there is an elevator for the mobility challenged, however we had 3 people in our party that use a wheelchair or walker to get around, so it would have been nice to have some handicap rails in the 2 bedrooms/bathrooms/showers downstairs. It also would have been nice to have some kind of ramp to the front door and to the pool in the backyard. This did not alter the enjoyment of our stay, just an idea for future guests.

Great house for family fun

Perfect for our extended family get together. Size, layout, and style of house fit us perfectly. Only one suggestion: please supply beach towels. It's a house with a big pool and it's just two minutes from the beach. Beach towels would be a nice amenity to add.

Awesome house

Perfect for large group (we had 3 families) and there was plenty of room to spread out and do our own thing or gather downstairs and back patio as a group. It was everything we were expecting. Beach towels and a mop would be a plus but would LOVE to come back.

Destin 2023

The size of house and lay out was perfect for 5 families. I liked the pool, the sitting areas on all floors, the bedrooms having private bathrooms, and the location. It is very close to beach. I loved having the elevator! The ping pong paddles were too heavy and they only provided one ball. It would be nice if house provided games, books and puzzles. I do feel like it needs a bigger fridge for that number of people, another ice maker, another table on first floor, a storage room for beach stuff, better maintained bikes, more pots and pans, bigger pans, and bigger cook top. It would be nice to have curtains over windows too, not just blinds. I’ve been to houses in the past that provided beach chairs and beach stuff. Overall it was beautiful and close to perfect for our needs.

Good Family Spot but some drawbacks

Recently stayed at Nautilus with 18 family members. The house is really nice and the location is good. This house will sleep everyone comfortably but it is not set up for entertaining and feeding a large party. No double oven, little to no ice (the fridge ice maker didn't work properly) and insufficient cookware and dishes. The cookware was a college dorm starter kit with a couple of small pots and pans. The previous tenants left the backyard in shambles. We had to fish the patio furniture out of the pool ourselves as well as fix the grill which was turned over in the yard. Another down side is that you will have to provide your own hand soap, dish soap and toilet paper for the entire house. This would be a small luxury for the owner to provide if they are wanting to present a five star standard.

Enjoyable

We had a great holiday and would come back in future and rent your property again. There are a few things that you may not be aware of. 1. Windows were filthy especially kitchen, front and back doors were very streaky. Floors if you left your white socks on or had bare feet your feet and socks were black so after showering you would need to wash your feet before bed. Lighting fixtures were also needing a good cleaning had greasy dust on them. 2. Bikes are not maintained very well. Chain off one bike and back wheels not really great on other bikes when ride the wheels are wobbly . 3. Pool started turning green late Wednesday so Thursday we contacted you have it serviced so weren’t able to use pool Thursday and the lovely lady who did service it said pump wasn’t working properly. 4. Your golf cart doesn’t have much power runs sluggish. Needs charged often. As I said earlier you have a beautiful home and I would certainly rent again but I was speaking to a friend of mine who has properties she rents out and she said she would want to know about how her house is being maintained since you are paying for service and might not be aware of a few things that need addressed. If you need to contact me feel free. Thanks, Tracy
