About this property

211 El Matador by Alicia Hollis Rentals open Apr 6

Looking for Paradise? Here it is at the El Matador! Has to be the most sought of family vacation resort on the Emerald Coast. A secluded condominium nestled between the beautiful white sand dunes and the sparkling Emerald Waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

El Matador is truly a beach resort. Just two miles down Santa Rosa Blvd at the end of the Island you will find us – secluded but still just a few minutes to all the amenities that Destin and Fort Walton Beach have to offer. Just six miles down Hwy. 98 you can enjoy Destin – “ The Worlds Luckiest Fishing Village” – charter a private trip or take the kids out on a group boat and catch dinner. While in Destin enjoy fine restaurants, shopping, and golfing on some of the best golf courses in the Panhandle of Florida. Hard to believe that you might need a day off from the beach but if you do take the family to Big Kahunas Water Park in the center of old Destin. Much more than just a water park… it’s a day of fun!

Back at the El Matador enjoy the large grass areas between our buildings just right for family fun and games. With two pools, his and her whirlpool, and saunas just right for your tired muscles after a game of tennis on one of our courts, or in our fitness center. We are located at the end of Okaloosa Island a small barrier Island between Fort Walton Beach and Destin. This gated community with thirteen miles of undeveloped beaches to the west is sure to have you longing to return.

Great Location, horrible u it
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was fantastic; however, the unit was very bad.1. Master bed is an inverted V. If you sleep to the side you will feel gravity slowly pulling you off. I slept on the couch a nite or so because it has more support than that mattress.2. Kids bed frame had to be adjusted to accommodate the mattress.3. The tub drains drain exceedingly slow.4. Several electrical outlets not functioning to include the 2 bed room which makes the ceiling fan inoperable.5. Had to play battery roulette to get the TV remotes to work.6. Sliding back door needs to be replaced as my kids, my wife, and myself all struggled with it.As the title says, great location but a horrible unit.

Good Beach Vacay, suggest Building 3 or 4 to others
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We liked El Matador however if you have children I would highly suggest staying in Building 3 or 4 FIRST FLOOR as it is a much closer walk to the beach (preferably 4)! This Unit, Unit 211 is located in Building 2, which is further away from the water. Being on the FIRST FLOOR was nice to not have to deal with the stairs or elevator. In the master bedroom, the toilet was VERY slow to flush and the bed uncomfortable, and comforter way too heavy and hot for beach vacay. We saw a few bugs as well in the condo. Living room recliner had holes in the fabric. Could use some new furniture! Updated kitchen was nice and spacious. We originally booked El Matador because we heard you could walk the 17 miles of beach down to Navarre. We quickly learned that you cannot walk this stretch of beach any longer which was highly disappointing to us and ALL guests we spoke to on the beach that have been coming to El Matador for years!!!! Not sure if we will come back for this reason. They were writing tickets to people who crossed into the military property. We heard a few people ruined it for all vacationers which is really sad. Such a beautiful beach! The water was crystal clear and blue however August was so HOT! If we go back to El Matador, we wouldn't stay in this unit again due to the longer walk to the sand with 3 children and beach stuff in tow. Hope this helps any out there planning! Also, you must try STEWBY'S restaurant (it's on the same road and delicious)! If you want pizza, Fubar's is right there too!

In need of an upgrade
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. However, the property was very outdated and in need of an upgrade. The patio door would not slide very well, the 2 twin beds squeaked very loudly every time you rolled over, the bathrooms were very outdated and the tub wouldn't drain well. Overall we had a good stay but would probably not stay in this particular unit again. My brother was visiting at the same time and stayed at El Matador as well. His unit was in building 4 and was much nicer than ours and had recently been upgraded. He paid the same price as we did. I would definitely stay at El Matador again but not this particular unit.
