Friend-cation Perfection!
This property was great! Enough bedrooms for everyone, space for people to converge (or separate if needed), dining room large for everyone. The pool was awesome, the screened in porch was fantastic. The best was the amenities - the golf cart was basically brand new, the beach chairs were great, the beach towels thick and plentiful. I appreciated the starter kit as well as hand soaps in the bathrooms. It was the perfect getaway (other than the weather). Really enjoyed, would recommend and stay again. Big kudos to Dave and Karen for being so quick with communication as well!

Great location and cleanliness
The three things we look for in when book a property are location, cleanliness, and comfortability. The pictures are very accurate and the location is great, easy qucik access to the beach. The cleanliness and comfortability can be subjective and difficult to determine through pictures and reviews. We were very please with how clean the unit was and how comfortable the beds and furniture were. Having a pool and a golf cart was definitely a bonus. The pool guys came twice during our stay and kept the water clean and clear. David and Karen were fantastic. They were polite and quick to answer any questions. Ultimately, this is a place we plan to rent again!

Great overall experience!
Our stay here was great! The house was very well furnished and accommodating to our large group. The owners know what people want and need when they show up on vacation! The pool was great and the shed in the back is well stocked with pool toys and beach essentials. We didn’t need to bring much because mostly everything was provided. The owners were very quick to respond to messages and very quick to get your requests taken care of. Highly recommend!

Just amazing
GORGEOUS! I was one of the first guests to stay in this new and impeccably designed beach house in Saint Joe Beach. It backs up to the woods so we had full privacy when we were outside near the large heated saltwater pool. The interior design inside the house looks professional but is super inviting and comfortable/casual.
The game room is awesome , as are all of the well thought out details. There is a brand new golf cart for guests which was a huge plus for beach trips or to Shipwreck for the best seafood ever. The hosts are amazing . Highly recommend. We will be back!

Amazing & Relaxing!!!
We highly recommend Nautilus Escape if you want a large private pool, no one behind you (just woods), games, beautiful kitchen, kickass golf cart, comfy bedding and even a small workspace desk. The decor is fantastic and it feels like an elevated home from our own which is perfect for vacation!
