Enjoyed our stay in Gulf Shores
My family and I enjoyed our first visit to the Gulf Shores area and staying at the Nautilus made our trip awesome. The house was clean, beautiful and very spacious. Its proximity to the beach made everything better too! My kids did not want to leave at the end of the week which means they enjoyed their stay at the Nautilus house as well as the beach too. We will definitely return next year!!

Best beach location
We loved this property. Three minute walk to the beach and a great covered fishing dock on the lagoon side. Away from the traffic of the tourist zone, great for our two families. Cannot wait to return!

Nice place and great space
Nice, clean and plenty space for family of 4. Location is superb. It is not on the beach but just walk across the street and we are there. Quiet area which is the best. 2 things that we did not like are the bed and shower pressure. The mattress was firm but kind of stiff and it was not comfortable when we slept. It made us backache every morning. Also the pressure water was too low. It took each of us quite long time to finish shower. Luckily there are 2 bathrooms there. Overall is good. We still like it a lot. We had a great time.

Just what we needed
This property was the perfect accommodation for my family as we traveled to the gulf for the AHSAA State Track Finals. We spent most of our time at the competition but let me say, this property provided everything we needed, when we needed. There was plenty of space for our mixed bunch. Loved the semi-private pool and proximity to shops and restaurants! Will definitely use again!

Last Minute Spring Vacay
This property is amazing! More than enough room for our party. It had everything we needed. Short walk to the beach and short drive to eateries. The only draw back was the weather (which we had no control over) therefore we could not do much outside activities. We still had a great time and are already looking at end of summer dates to come back!

Newer Property- not well maintained
This property seemed much older than it is. Walls seemed dingy and beat up. The sheets on the beds were not clean and had hair in them. I think they had been changed so maybe just laundry process is bad. The dishes also appeared worn and dirty so all had to be washed before using. There was a garbage bag in one can and no other garbage bags to be found. Overall property just didn’t seem clean. It needs to be refreshed and cleaned thoroughly.

It's a nice place, close to beach. Only the two of us. Stairs might be drawback for some. Loved that it was pet friendly and left vacuum cleaner accessible for us as we are staying 2 months.

Baseball trip
We were there for a baseball trip with another family. It fit all 8 of us perfect and the kids could fish at the dock at night and we could hang at the beach or pool when we weren’t at the field. We loved being just a couple miles from all the traffic but still close to it and the beach was perfect-not to crowded at all.
