“AVOID THE NAUTILUS IF YOU WANT BEDDING”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Friends and I stayed at the Nautilus last week-end, January 7, 2012. When it was time to pull out the hide-a bed there was absolutely no linen for it. No sheets or pillowcases. Needless to say it was an extremely uncomfortable night. When I spoke to the office the next morning they said I should have called despite the fact that they do not answer the phone after 5 pm. When asked for an adjustment the manager said " we don't do that". I could have a discount on the next visit if I wanted. As if. Providing bedding is the most basic requirement of a business in the "hospitality" trade. In addition, this so called cozy get away had a gas fireplace that was broken and had no heat. Stay away from places that operate like this.

“The room was great!”

person found this review helpful

They treated me nice. I saw all of the bad reviews after I had made reservations. I got there and asked if I could see the room first. I told the woman at the desk that I saw all of the reviews and if this place was a dump I was not gonna stay.

The room was great, the view perfect! I don't know where the other guys stayed.

Room Tip: Stay in room 202

“Home away from Home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

Whenever I need a get away for myself or my family... I always find myself at the Nautilis in Unit 108! I have stayed here many a time and have ALWAYS felt like I was at home. I found out early on that each unit is individually owned and managed by different companies so don't let the negative reviews steer you away from this great place! It is very family oriented and the owners go above and beyond to make you feel at home. There are games, movies, even ziploc bags for all of the shells you find on the beach! They think of everything! My favorite past time is to sit by the fireplace and read the guest book to see how much fun all of the visitors have had there! Be sure call AT THE BEACH RENTALS and ask for unit 108.. You can't go wrong!!!!

Room Tip: Unit 108! It is a corner unit and has patio furniture on the back covered deck!

“Do not stay here!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011 via mobile

We stayed in room 106. Looked like it was decorated in the 80's. The bed was horrible.The view was nonexixtant. The bedroom faced the parking lot and was very noisy. We were charged $20 for maid service that we were never told about. The room had a fireplace but no firewood. The walk to the beach is at least a 1/4mile. Blinds on patio door and bedroom were broken. At $160 this was no bargain. They said they were pet friendly, but you could not leave your pet in your room even if you had a crate. Our dog had to be with us at all times.
