Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) is the closest airport to Nautilus and offers the most convenient arrival. St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) are also popular options with our guests, offering additional flight choices for your trip to Anna Maria Island.

We provide the essentials to help you settle in and start enjoying your vacation! Each condo comes stocked with beach towels, bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, and bed linens. To get you started, we also provide one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet paper. These are starter supplies, so guests are responsible for replenishing paper products and purchasing any additional necessities needed during their stay.

Each condo is individually owned and stocked a little differently! Beach equipment and amenities vary by unit, so we recommend checking the individual condo listing to see what each owner has provided for guests to enjoy during their stay.

As much as we love our furry friends, all Nautilus condos have a no-pet policy. We appreciate your understanding!

Nautilus does not have an elevator. All second-floor condos are accessible by stairs only. If you prefer to avoid stairs, we recommend booking one of our ground-floor condos.

Each condo includes one designated, numbered parking space. Traveling with a second vehicle? We also have a limited number of guest parking spaces available. Just reach out to us to request an additional parking pass, subject to availability.

We do not have charging stations for electric golf carts on the property. If you plan to rent a golf cart during your stay, we recommend choosing a gas-powered model for your convenience.

We do not provide equipment for our tennis and pickleball courts, so we encourage guests to bring their own rackets, paddles, and balls. If you’d rather travel light, equipment rentals are also available in the area!
