“Seven Mile Beach Private Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

An amazing property off the beaten path yet close to shopping and local attractions. Private property with breathtaking views. Both visits have to this property have been true paradise. In fact each summer trip has been extraordinary. Snorkel, swim or kayak right from the beach... which is mere feet from the end of your deck. Property has 2 updated two story apartments, a newly remodeled home / cottage and for those that like rustic there is even a small one room studio cottage. Beth ensures that your only concerns are relaxation and a care free vacation with life long memories. Huge decks allow for quiet reflection while watching the sea turtles and wildlife play in the indescribably blue / green water. The recently sunk Kittywake is kayaking distance and a great place for SCUBA divers of all levels. I cannot speak highly enough of the property and the times shared there. I've enjoyed the property twice and cannot get back fast enough. Planning the next trip now!!

Room Tip: cottage and apartments have full kitchens. Grocery store is walking distance. Rustic local restaura...

“Yet Another Great Cayman Vacation at Nautilus”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

This was our ninth year visiting Grand Cayman at the Nautilus Apartments. A lot has changed since year 1--the cottage, which used to be the rustic, roughing it location now is the most popular property of the three units. And why not? It boasts a full kitchen (including dishwasher), two comfortable bedrooms, a washer and dryer, and views to die for from your front porch. Beth Roulstone and her family continue to run a fine operation where you feel like family, and the upper end of Seven Mile Beach never disappoints. Our family has already made reservations for next year!

“Great place to vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 30, 2012

Just got back from a week on the island -- so beautiful. Staying at the Nautilus was great - right on the beach, great snorkeling and kayaking, close to restaurants and groceries and beautiful! Beth is a great host and checked daily if we needed anything. The apartment was clean, well-stocked and maintained. It was great to eat in during the day and grill or go out at night. We loved spending time on the deck and beach sunning and watching the sunset. It is located in a quiet location but just a beach walk away from other resorts and restaurants. If you are looking for a laid back vacation on the beach - this is perfect!

“Love it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 16, 2006

My family has stayed at the Nautilus Apartments manyl times over the past several years and we keep coming back. We book both apartments for a week and all cook together when we are not going out.. The accomodations are very comfortable with two large rooms upstairs each with their own very large bathroom and dressing area. Both rooms have balconeys. Downstairs has a large kitchen and breakfast room, a half bath with a W/Dryer and a living area. It is right on the beach and there is also a patio with grill and decks for sunning or sitting under the trees. The beach is nice but Hurrican Ivan did knocked down the sea wall and took part of the beach and it will take some time for that to build back up but that is the same all over the island. Some of the best smorkeling is directly out from the apartments. You can also walk down the beach to the cemetary where there is great snorkeling. We love it because it is away from the crowded beaches, comfortable and our entire family can all be together. It is not fancy but very nice, well kept, spacious and clean. The beach side of the street has million dollar homes and the other side of the street has traditional Caymanian homes. There is also a one story historical 2 bedrom 2 bath with kitchen and screened porch. It is not aiir conditioned but quite comfortable most of the year. There is even an efficency apartment that will sleep two. The owners are very, very nice.

“You Feel Like Family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2004

We stayed in the Nautilus Cottage. It is rustic (no A/C, historic building) but comfortable, and definitely one of the best values on the Island. The best part is how Frank & Beth make you feel right at home, answering all of your questions and making excellent recommendations.
You can't beat walking out the front door onto a patio overlooking the surf and the best view of Georgetown on the Island. We'll be back!
