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.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Was a not so good stay

The apartment was as pictured and allicia was great but the dishwasher was full of mold, there was no cloth to wash dishes, no extra trash bags. We had to purchase those and paper plates and silverware. The people did not abide by quiet hours. People were running and laughing by door and bedroom windows at 1am and then mowing and weed eating at 7am. The quick walk to the beach was nice, the pool was nice but other than that I'd never stay at El Matador.

An outdated property

This was our first visit to the Emerald coast and the beach did not disappoint. We have stayed many places for our family vacations and this was not a great property. The dishwasher was left full with a bunch of dirty dishes inside of it. There was no ice machine located on property. There were insect inside the property and the room itself has not been updated in any way, the back patio door is an old sliding glass door that sticks to open and close. The hot water in the kitchen never came on, and the fridge was missing a support for the shelf. The owner charges a lot, but does not seem to care about their property. Won't be recommending it to family and friends.

We had a pleasant trip. The condo was nice and spacious. The beds were comfortable. It had easy access on the ground floor. It was just a short walk to the beach.

Not as good as usual.

It was ok. The pictures showed us having more of a beach front building but were stuck in the first building when you pull in. There was no washer or dryer or any cleaning supplies. The internet was out for two days. Going to be staying closer to 30a from now on.

First Time to The Island

We loved the location of El Matador. The condo was spacious and clean. Our only compliant was the furniture needs updating the couch was broken and uncomfortable. Other than that minor compliant we loved the location, the condo and especially the beautifully clean pools. The hot tub and sauna were very new and up to date. The condo complex was very quiet and clean. We will return to this location!
