  Donna S from Springville, AL recommends this vacation rental

  We come to El Matador every year with a large group and many of us use Alecia Hollis. Very pleased with the service and the condo. We have stayed in unit 316 many times but it needs a little TLC. Small things like a new bathmat (That one has been there at least 7 years and seen better days), a few light bulbs need to be replaced above table...minor things.
  I appreciate the well stocked kitchen.
  Coming into the condo from the patio was the worst part. No grass, only sand. There were a couple pieces of corroded, rusty pipe, trash in the sand but I removed those.
  Staying in same unit next year so overall a good condo.

  Samantha B from Fairhope, AL recommends this vacation rental

  Ground floor access for our young kids and big kids to go back and forth to and from the pool was a great pick. The room was clean, came with everything we needed. The larger beds in the second bedroom helped us out, we were comfortable with 2 toddlers and 2 teens in that room. The facility was clean and we felt safe the whole time leaving things on our patio and our slider open for our children.

  Our condo was Wonderful! When we first walked in we could smell how clean it was and everything looked extremely clean as well. We were not happy with being on the first floor at first but it didn't take long to realize that this was one of the best rentals we have ever had on Okaloosa Island. The convenience was SO Nice! We will definitely be back!

  We stayed in this unit over Christmas vacation. The unit was clean and tastefully decorated with a beach theme. Since it was on the ground floor, it was easily accessed from the parking lot and we could exit through the back door to the pool and beach. I would recommend this unit.
