Check in was pretty easy, we had to pick up a key at the management office I don't think we received the code to the lock box but there was a nice man who (i think lived above the rental office) helped us out, so there was no issues with check in. The management office was literally down the street from the El Matador so it was so convenient. The unit overall was a nice size. The kitchen had everything we needed. Wish there was a Keurig coffee pot, unfortunately there was a older coffee pot so we didn't bother making coffee because we brought pods.

Don’t let the following info discourage you from coming to the El Matador. Overall loved my vacation in the condo was nice, but I felt they could’ve put more time in cleaning tile floor(had footprints on the bottom of my socks) and the towel bar in the bathroom fell off the first day. Furniture was a little dark and outdated. I guess when going to the beach, you expect brighter more cheerful decor or at least I do. I definitely recommend El Matador and will continue to come back every year.

El Matador

It is clean and quiet, but could use a little TLC and updates. It would be nice to have a roll of paper towels on hand and a better grade of toilet paper. The view from the balcony is great, the bed was comfortable as well as the living room furnishings. Beach access was easy and the beach was very clean.Overall I would give it a 4.9 out of 5!

El Matador Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was such a great experience. Have always stayed on ground floor but wanted to “ move up” and view the ocean each day. The staff working for Alicia Hollis was the very best. I highly recommend anyone to go through them. Very honest and dependable. Loved my stay.

Great stay at El Matador!

Overall, the property is very well kept, especially for a much older property. Our stay was very pleasant, the only issues with our particular unit was the water pressure was not very strong on any of the faucets or the toilet but it was not bad enough to make a phone call to the property manager while we were there. The property manager stay in touch on a regular basis from the time we booked our stay until the day we checked in and that was very nice. Overall, everything went very smooth with the exception of the pool being closed for two days and no one really knew why but Apparently it had to be cleaned or something

Your own Paradise! Unit 445 is Perfect placement in the complex

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is amazing. The unit is on the 4th floor giving you the dramatic views of the gorgeous Emerald Coast. Love that this complex is the last on the strip. While the balcony view gives you superb views of the beach, the front door gives you views of breathtaking sunsets, looking over miles and miles of unspoiled dunes. The added bonus of having complimentary beach chairs and umbrella service was a great feature! We didn't take advantage of the other bonus tickets that come with the unit. The boardwalk in Destin is only a short drive and McGuires Restaurant is a must! Unit 445 had everything you need (except for a hair dryer, so be prepared. I was told that other guests have stolen them, perhaps a dryer installed on the wall would be an option?) The mattress and linens were very comfortable as well as the living room furniture. An added bonus was a bookcase filled with books, and a flashlight for your night stroll on the beach! Unit 445 is Perfect placement. Great communication from the Hollis agency.

Great choice!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in room #445. Check in/out was easy. Condo was clean. Pool was clean & beautiful. The view of the ocean/beach was amazing. The only complaint is really a preference. The mattress was overly soft and the water pressure was low. However, neither of those two things would keep us from coming back. We plan to stay at El Matador on many more trips.

Awesome view

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved sitting on balcony watching ocean and people. Gorgeous weather. Room was clean. However, the balcony was terribly filthy! No cleaning supplies in which to wipe furniture down. Called Hollis office and was told the filth was due to building maintenance, but that they had nothing to do with the outside. Also, we were never told that work was going to be done when we made reservations. The noise was horrendous! My husband had headache first two days. The office told us to go to the beach or shopping from 9-5 so we wouldn’t be around the noise! REALLY?!🥴

Experience

This was the absolute best vacation experience ever! Bed in condo was the most comfortable bed ever. Looking for one of the mattresses already lol. Sofa sleep was comfortable. Condo was exact to description. Very clean, larger than expected, very quiet and the view was absolutely beautiful. We all had a wonderful time and I would stay there again in a minute. 👍👍👍👍👍

Everything was great!

Good place to stay, but condo could use some TLC. Minor issues only. Shower low water pressure, lazy boy broken and kept tipping over, walls have been patched several times, kitchen sink sprayer barely sprayed, and no washer and dryer in your condo. Still had a great week only listed these for the knowledge of the owner.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would like to give you the reasons for my lower rating.1) very low water pressure.2) unit needed painting.3) kitchen pantry door would not shut. I had to fix it myself.4) everything in this unit looked old. This unit really needs a fresh update especially the kitchen plates and glasses5) TV remote did not work very well. You had to push the buttons 812 times to change channels or volume

Perfect condo for us

We stayed at this condo over spring break 2021. The condo was perfect for my wife and I. Everything was clean and ready-to-go when we arrived. It looks like it had recently been renovated as the furnishings and appliances all seemed new. Since it was a 1 bedroom, we expected it to be small, but it wasn't at all. The rooms were large and there was plenty of elbow room and storage space. We loved having breakfast and drinks on the balcony. The view of the gulf is even better than the pictures.

2020 SUMMER TRIP TO OKALOOSA ISLAND

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked this trip in February and then the world seemed to be turned upside down! Logic thrown out the window and the fear of our trip being cancelled was overwhelming. Our arrival on Saturday and the six days that followed were everything we'd hoped for our the last several months. This trip was to celebrate 25 years of marriage along with our first extended family trip to the beach in years! Hoping to return in 2021 as all family members agree!!!

June 2020 FWB vacation

This place is fabulous. We loved the location and the condo. This place has everything you need. The kitchen is well supplied with all kinds of dishes, pot, pans, utensils, etc. The view from the patio is amazing and the private beach is non-surpassed. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the traffic in Destin, but with the location and amenities of this condo, you don’t even need to go there.
