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.

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.

"Worst experience
The place was filthy. Rugs and carpet were stained and gross. Beds in the smaller bedroom were terrible to sleep on. Very outdated. Dead bug on the wall. Master bathroom was a joke. Toilet we had to fix. Table broken. Bar stool also broken. "

"Great Location, Older amenities
Condo location is the seller on this unit...first floor, back door looks out into the courtyard and 100 yards to beach access. Kitchen was redone, great finishes for rental. However, the remainder of the unit is stuck in the 80s and some of the dust probably came from there as well. The renovations stopped at the kitchen counter with no further improvements attempted. Electrical was sketchy as you have to unplug light from one plug and move to upper plug in same outlet to work. Things that don't make send and question safety to be honest. It was "clean" however old paint, outlets, trim, and fixes on bed made it not feel up to date. Dust on ceiling air vent just looks bad, even if not an issue to overall function. "

"Great Location, horrible u it
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
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! "

great rental"

"In need of an upgrade
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. "

"211 El Matador
I experienced an issue with unit 211 my first night of vacation, at 4:30am. I called the after hours emergency line and eventually spoke to Chris. I was told they could move me to another unit, at a much higher cost to myself, which was unacceptable under the circumstances. Chris was very unaccommodating and said several times "there's nothing I can do for you". They did eventually offer a full refund, which then left me in Okaloosa for a 7 day stay having to try and find other accommodations after the first night. I would never rent from this realtor again based on my interaction with Chris."

"Love El Matador... not the unit
We’ve stayed at El matador numerous times. This unit needs major updating and renovations. The were broken drawers, dusty ceiling fan, dust/dirt in the kitchen on the ceiling, dirty fridge door, patio sliding doors that couldn’t slide smoothly, and shower faucets that make it hard to shower. We have always recommended family and friends to El Matador and other units we have stayed at. But will not be coming back to this unit. "

"Not the best condo
The dishwasher had black mold and smelled horrible, everytime we walked in and out you could smell it and cigarette smoke even tho we don't smoke and never saw anyone smoking. It was loud and partying up until 1am and then people walking by talking at 7am laughing, running etc. They also started mowing at 8am and weed eating even tho the pamphlet said quiet hours 10pm-9am. One of the twin beds was lower on the feet part and was uncomfortable to sleep on. Their were no extra trash bags so we had to buy them, no way to wash dishes so we had to buy all that because who wants to use a black mold dishwasher. The only good thing was it stayed cold, the back door was so hard to open, it was quick to the beach and the pool was nice. Also I wasn't told where to get keys etc so I drove to the condo to be told to go back to Alicia's. Maybe it was just our condo and where we were located but it was very outdated and only two towels so we had to wash and pay for that. "

"Great location
Fun time at this location. We will be back. No issues except for we didn’t know how to retrieve the keys. We called the after hours number and we were able to get in. "

"Clean and comfortable
Nice little condo. Easy in/out. Simple and uncomplicated."

"El Matador July 2019
Location was very good, but expected more for the price we paid. Others in our group paid same price for more modern condo. Master bath had excessive mold on shower curtain. Sliding door difficult to open. Toilet in master would run unless you giggled handle. Appliances and decor outdated. Found trash ( lollipop sticks, paper ) under master bed. All vents had black dust collected on ceiling. 3"

"Family vacation 2018
The rental experience was very easy to do. I just went on the Alicia J. Hollis web site and typed in what type of condo we were needed to rent."

"El Matador 211
This is the second year we have stayed at El Matador and this year we brought another family.We had a wonderful experience and love the friendly staff and family environment at El Matador. The property was clean and well kept. The only thing that was missing was a working iron and ironing board-otherwise it had everything my family needed. Our family loves the boardwalk and all the restaurants. Our family has a wide range of ages and the boardwalk offers something for everyone. Rockin Tacos is our favorite restaurant. Our absolute favorite activity is looking for ghost crabs in the evenings on the beach! We love the Island and will be back again next year!"

"July 4th vacation
Condo was clean and in good condition considering it appeared to be an original unit with many original fixtures. No key was provided for sauna/spa use. Convenient location with ample parking and excellent gatehouse staff. Definitely consider El Matador again perhaps on higher floor w/view."

"Annual fishing trip
Happy to be in Elmatador concerned the commode had poop on the seat , and the shower curtain had what appeared to be blood on it in two large spots. I work in the medical field so I was very concerned about it . I clesnef the toilet , and avoided the stain aggressively. I guess I should have called the realtor Nice location and atmosphere. Would not rent this unit again but others I would .old sm tube tv in guest TV needs updating .recomend property not this unit clearyfying last question on this questioner."

"OK condo, master bath was not very accommodating
This condo does not have a master bathroom that compares to other bathrooms at the El Matador. It is a tight space, it has inadequate mirrors and the sink took hours to drain, so we often had to wash hands & brush teeth in the tub because the sink was completely full of water. It was practically unusable. Also, the master bedroom was stuffy at night with the door closed, and the ceiling fan would shut off throughout the night on its own (possibly from an electric short?)"
May 27, 2017 - Shari W., Smithfield, KY

"El Matador Review
The location was great but the property itself felt dated. The floors left our feet black on the bottoms and most of the electrical outlets were in poor condition."
Aug 03, 2016 - Travis W., Winder, GA

"Elmatador 211
The condo was nicely furnished however, the furnishings were outdated. The appliances and tv units could stand to be replaced. "
Jun 24, 2016 - , FORT WALTON BEACH, FL

"Could be Amazing
The kitchen, guest room, and gues bath are fine. The furniture in the dining and living rooms leave much to be desired. The bed in the master didn't fit on the frame and kept falling off. The master bathroom left *much* to be desired. "

"Outdated
Room needs updating."

"Stay - July 20 =- July 24
We had a wonderful time. The location is excellent. The only complaint that we had was that there was no overhead light in one of the bedrooms and all of the electrical outlets did not work. The property itself was very clean and we enjoyed our stay."
Jul 30, 2013 - Jennifer E.

"El Matador room 211
It was a dated layout with old (read early 90's) furnishings. Toilets weren't as clean as id like. The place needs a thorough cleaning, and not just the once over they do on Saturday mornings. It worked out just fine for our week's stay, but nothing too fancy."
