So cute

Our stay here was amazing, it was such a cute condo and the views cannot be beat. There was some sand already on the floor when we arrived but it is the beach so it wasn’t a huge deal.

Great location

Location was excellent, pool was clean and well kept and access to the beach was excellent. 1503 was overall ok but the floors were filthy and the dishes/pans still had food caked on them. Although it was listed in ad only one towel per person and the minimum supplies are an inconvenience. Only one elevator was working but extremely slow, there was always a wait. All the employees and especially the maintenance man were extremely friendly. Overall we have stayed at many places in the area at this price point that were far better. With some attention to cleanliness this could be at the top of our list.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A lot has changed with the beach chairs and umbrella service, no longer can you reserve a chair like the previous 10 years that we had been staying here. People from the public access come and use chairs also. The chairs are so far back from the water now that people from the public access will come set up between you and the water. A local program called Little Adventures also came several days and set up fishing classes in front of the beach chairs on this properties beach as well. They have lost the sense of a personal beach access that you pay thousands of dollars for while the public gets the same experience for free. Will no longer come back to Nautilus unless they get control of their beach again. VERY VERY disappointed!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great. Right on the beach and not very crowded. It's close to several very good restaurants and the traffic in front of condo was minimum. The pool was clean and temp was perfect. The condo was not very clean. The dryer barely dried. The coffee machine broke and the shower backed up. The staff was very responsive and took care of the shower within a day and delivered a new coffee pot asap. To be fair, I didn't call about the horrible dryer. The furniture looked like hand me downs for a 1st apartment. Definately needs updated. The worst thing was they only give you 1 towel per person. You're constantly doing laundry. It literally took 3 hours to dry a load. The ocean front balcony was very large and covered so we could sit out there even when it rained.

We found our condo to be very clean and comfortable. We did have a “beginner” supply of all essentials as stated. The balcony is very nice as well as the other accommodations. The master bed was very comfortable. The two full beds in guest room were a little squeaky but not intolerable. It was stated that there was a queen size pull out couch… but there was not. We bought a blow up mattress since there wasn’t one. We loved the fact that one set of beach chairs came with the condo rental! The beach is beautiful and not too crowded.
