Clean and spacious

Very nicely decorated. Plenty of seating. Thought unit had in room washer & dryer but it did not. Had to pay to wash bath towels and wash clothes during stay. Need blackout curtains over windows. Location was great. Very clean. Loved that there was no carpet, just LVP flooring which was great and clean.

Beautiful condo. Well maintained. Great location. Gorgeous beachfront view. Always felt safe and secure. Comfy king bed. Weather and beach were amazing. Beautiful pools and courtyard. Family friendly. Only disappointment was W/D was not in the unit, but down the hall a bit. Not a dealbreaker, but would have been nice to know. Was able to get quarters at entrance/exit guard hut. Overall highly recommend.

Great condo on beautiful beach!

My children and I enjoyed a quick trip to the Gulf staying at this condo! The condo was clean, well-appointed, decorated beautifully, and you just couldn't beat the view of the pool and of course the ocean from both the bedroom and the living room! We also liked that it was at the end of the beach next to the Air Force property, which made it less crowded than other parts of the beach! Great pool, boardwalk to the beach, parking, etc. The elevators and building lobby could use some updating, and it would've been nice to have a W/D in our unit, but since we were just staying a few nights, that wasn't a deal breaker for us. All-in-all, would come back and stay at this beautiful condo again! :)

Loved the place! We have stayed at El Matador many times. We only had two issues. Door lock took several attempts to get it to lock. That happened all week. Also, we had another unit while we were there, and they provided umbrellas for the week so that would have been nice.
