  We loved the condo! Location was very convenient to the beach and pool.
  Beautifully decorated and clean. Especially loved the updated kitchen and shower in the bathroom! The only glitch was the sofa . It wasn’t comfortable and should really be replaced! Management company was a dream!!

  • Manager Responded on 7/1/2024

    Cheri thanks so much for your words and we are happy you enjoyed your stay at the El Matador unit 215, We discussed about the couch, and we will take care of it with the owner, and i would love to see you again next year.

  Jonathan & Trudy P from Broken Arrow, OK recommends this vacation rental

  Check in was very easy - Alicia Hollis office was easy to pull into and to get out of. Same for easy check out -take trash out, lock up and just dropped the keys into the dropbox. The staff was so nice and welcoming.
  
  Location is in Building 2 - very easy walk with your chair and beach bag to the beach Or you could use the beach service.
  
  The unit is updated and was very clean- no mold in the shower. The couch needs to be updated- would be my only suggestion.
  
  Kitchen was well stocked with all kinds of pans, cutlery, dishes. Remember to bring -papertowels, soft toilet paper, dishwasher soap if you plan on cooking alot at the condo, other wise they provide toilet paper(a little rough), two dishwasher tabs.
  
  Trash is at the end of the building- u have to lift the garage door to get to the dumpster. Was not labeled so a little difficult to locate.
  
  The beach is so soft with white sands - the view looking toward the Air Force land is the best, untouched view. Do not walk on the Air Force land - the warnings are real, 4 people got tickets while I was there $95 a person. It doesn't matter if you are walking in the surf, waterline or beach - you will get a ticket. New commander in charge and he is a stickler for the rules.
  
  Enjoyed our Mother's Day stay very much!

  • Manager Responded on 5/23/2024

    Thanks for all your wonderful review, we sure appreciate you telling us about everything and i will forward this to the owner. the unit is in a perfect location and easy to enjoy the grounds and especially if you have kids.

  Darnett C from Rincon, GA recommends this vacation rental

  My husband has vacated at the El Matador for 45 years and it's been 20 years for me. My son is continuing the tradition with his family. This was the 1st year for my grandson. (9 mo) He LOVED the white sand and clear beach water. We have stayed in many units over the years and 215 was one of the best! It was very clean and cozy. My son stayed in building 4 on a top floor. We hung out on our porch and the baby had a great time playing in the grass. I will definitely request this unit again!!

  • Manager Responded on 9/3/2022

    Darnett thanks so much for your review and how much you enjoyed unit 215, and you are so right, it is a beautiful and very comfortable condo and so close to go to the beach and the pools. We hope to have you back again....

  Everything was really nice in this unit. Kitchen fully stocked with everything to prepare meals. Only complaint was the floors were not very clean. The first night there after walking around barefoot, we had black feet just from inside. Also owner might leave instructions on how to operate television and a guide to access quickly would be helpful .

  • Manager Responded on 7/1/2022

    Sharon we highly appreciate your review to this beautiful unit at the El Matador unit 215, and i certainly will take care of the floor issue with HK. I will let the owner know about the instructions for the tv the next time they come down. We hope that you enjoyed this wonderful unit and the beautiful grounds, and it will be a pleasure to have you again.

  We’ve been staying at Okaloosa Island for 20+ years and most of those at the El Matador. We always use Alicia Hollis realtor for our rental needs. They provide great, thorough, friendly service and Chris Ault always remembers us! EM 215 is a great unit, updated, clean, and the owners provide beach service...an added bonus! Our ONLY issue was the water pressure in the shower, very light. Everything else was great! Our week was perfect and we can’t wait to go back!

  • Manager Responded on 5/14/2022

    Stephanie thanks a lot for spending your time here at the El Matador and unit 215, as always, i certainly enjoy having you guys down here and enjoying our wonderful beach and the great condo. Water pressure happens due to the property being so full, and it slows it down. Come back and and see us again, and have a wonderful week.

  Diana W from West, Ms recommends this vacation rental

  I look forward to coming back to this condo every year. It is peaceful and beautifully decorated - definitely a beach atmosphere. For me, that it is on the ground floor, is a big plus.
  Although there must be a fair number of people staying at the complex, there isn't that crowded feeling.
  And the beach is amazing - clean, with long peaceful walks and swimming conditions that suit everyone's ability.
  This property is very well managed, clean and tidy. Everybody is super helpful and utterly professional

  • Manager Responded on 8/14/2020

    Thanks for your review Diana, for the El Matador unit 215, and the owner sure did a wonderful job in decorating that condo, and yes on the ground floor is very convenient in walking out to the pools or the beach, but, also the wonderful grounds there. We hope to see you again and enjoy 215.

  Jack T from Winchester, TN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The condo was beautifully furnished and overall clean. We didn't take advantage of all the extras, like the sauna and hot tub, but the beach access was awesome. We did have a few issues with "palmetto bugs" . In Tennessee we call them big roaches. Also there appeared to be mold around the vent in the bathroom. The a/c unit was very noisy inside and out (a design issue that cannot be fixed) and made sitting on the patio unpleasant. Couldn't even hear the surf 100 yards away. Even though the condo was overall nice, we will probably shop around for a different unit next time. Also, couch frame was broke, the recliner almost impossible to return to closed position and the vertical blinds in the living room area was broken. The noisy a/c was my biggest issue, keeping me awake a lot.

  • Manager Responded on 10/17/2018

    It is a fantastic unit. With the ground floors having the a/c unit outside the unit and not on the roof can make some noise on patio. Lets get you off the ground floor and away from the noise on your next trip.

We will stay here each time it's available in the future, no question!!

  Wayne B from Magnolia, TX recommends this vacation rental

  The rental experience was seamless, no issues at all - the realtor was experienced and professional. The rental unit itself was better than expected - i would propose that more photos are taken of the inside of the rental to give potential renters a better visual of the finishings and amenities, current photos dont do the place any justice. The kitchen is completely kitted out, top to bottom and didnt want for anything, everything that we needed was there. Flat screen TV`s in both the lounge and master bedroom including sattelite TV, something we didn't know. The rental unit also has its own dedicated internet which was excellent. Only issue i had during my entire stay was that the AC repairman simply walked into the unit while we were in it, wife was in the bathroom and kids in the lounge, dad was fishing. I find it completely unacceptable that people are allowed to come into the units unscheduled. My wife complained about this and got the "oh, its maintenance" - i don't care if its maintenance, not allowing you to put my family at risk while you cant organize your maintenance properly. No apology from the realtor either. The mattress on the pull out couch for the kids needs to be replaced, it digs into a 6yr olds back - we had to pad it with blankets to make it ok for her to sleep on. Other than those issues its a great unit, really nice and walking distance to the beach.

    Glad t o see that condo got the great review it deserves. This is one of a kind one bedroom. As to the maintenance crew entering condo to do monthly inspection, I complained to HOA about entering condo and it was then that I was told tenant's son in condo let the crew come in. Maintenance did not "just barge in". The owner has been notified about condition of sofa bed and am sure this problem will be rectified very quickly. If you need apology from me for your son letting maintenance in, you have it.

  Our stay at El Matador 215 was very enjoyable. The condo was just as it looks in the picture and well appointed. The kitchen was fully stocked. The bed very comfortable and at garden level. We enjoyed having our cocktail on the patio area. The beaches at Fort Walton are some of the best in the country. Enjoyed dinner at the Bay Cafe very much! All in all a beautiful vacation.

  Monty & Robert C from LaFarge, WI recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first stay in the Fort Walton Beach area. This beautiful area really welcomes Snowbirds with many activities and events. This condo was nicely updated and clearly the most well-equipped condo we've rented. The facility is well kept, and a beautiful setting on the beach. I wish for in-unit washer & dryer, or some improved functionality in the laundry rooms, i.e. a folding table would be appreciated. Also, we'd have liked a key to the spa for a long-term renter, even if it required a deposit. The property manager is the best we've dealt with. Everything was as stated. They were very responsive when called. We had no real issues, only questions and clarifications. While the weather wasn't all we'd hoped for, the beauty and welcome of the community are superior to previous experiences. We will return, and we'll definitely use Alicia Hollis as our property manager.

  Monty & Robert C from LaFarge, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed the property. it is well-kept and the location is great! Our unit was updated and certainly the most fully equipped condo we've rented. The improvements I feel could be made are: Cleaning/laundering of rugs, comforters, and pillow covers for each new tenant; key access to the sauna/spa for long-term rentals - going to the gate was very inconvenient, especially in cold weather. Washer/dryer in unit would be wonderful. We especially appreciate the honesty and reliability of the property manager. Having had some bad experiences, we were tentative, and very pleasantly surprised.

  Am a local of 29 years & staying here from 10-16 to 12-19-13 as a transitional accomodation. Unit is beautifully remodeled & has excellent appointments!! Grounds are manicured & staff very friendly inclusive of property mgt personnel. Have viewed other units @ this property that aren't near as nice & dated. Property is family oriented so you don't have to put up with a lot of partying some guests bring!!! Loving my oasis/sanctuary!!!

  I'm an island local of 29 years. Staying here from 10-19 to 12-19-13. Just needed a place for a transitinary period. Place is phenominal! Not your typical "ant hill" condo! Grounds are spacious & manicured. Amenities more than adequate. My temporary Shangrala/sanctuary!
