Great stay

We had a wonderful stay at this location. The location was super close to the beach. We literally just have to walk/drive through the community and we are at the beach. It was also quiet but convenient to a lot of different restaurants. The condo could use some updates, but with that price it’s a good deal.

The management office was amazing - they even contacted me when our unit was available before the scheduled check in time. The unit was very clean and well stocked for a week of relaxation. Although the unit is not on the gulf, the beach was a very short walk. There was a gorgeous view of the bay out the balcony, so the lack of "water front" was barely missed. Thank you for a great family vacation stay.

Perfect for girls getaway

4 women total shared this location. It was just as expected. We didn’t need anything fancy. This fit out needs just right. The kitchen was larger than expected for a place of its size. It was nice and quiet. The pools were nice. No complaints.

Okaloosa

Our condo at El Matador was exactly as it was pictured and described. Our family of 6 fit perfect. We had never been to Ft. Walton and it did not disappoint. We are used to staying at places that have the beach accessories like chairs and toys as well as things like extra toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Aside from those minor things that overall were not a deal breaker, we look forward to going again. We loved the pool outside of our building and the access to the beach. It was a little slice of paradise. Thankful the owners share their beautiful space.

Update desperately needed

The condo needs a serious update. It’s old and the floors are sticky. I’d never stay here again.

Beautiful views of Sunset & Sound

We really enjoyed the location of this unit, away from the beach crowds and beautiful views of the sunsets and inter coastal waterways. The unit could use a few updates with carpet and kitchen countertops, but all in all it was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Facility & Location

Condo was very clean and had everything one would need to stay as long as you wish. Kitchen was well supplied with appliances, cutlery, plates, cups, etc. Plenty of room and within minutes to the beach. Pool was kept very clean and facility offers many amenities. Will definitely stay again!

The property was quiet and out of the main tourist traffic

The views and beach were great. The complex was older but well kept. The 2 pools on site were nice and well maintained. The staff were pleasant. The unit itself could use some updating in the master bath and the dish washer wasn't working well...but who goes on vacation to stay in the room?

Good location at the end of the road so lots of private, uncrowded beaches. Clean and nice. Good price. We will go back.
