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 balcony. 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.

Enjoyed the place we stayed. Everything was nice and convenient. Weather wasn’t so nice. I thought the price was a little high but other than that it was nice.

Little piece of heaven

Our stay here was great! It was clean, roomy, had enough amenities such as extra pillows and blankets. But the view from the balcony & even inside the living room was worth it all! Definitely will be back!

Our second time staying in 459 and there will for sure be a third! Could not be happier with how clean and well maintained this condo is. The views are breathtaking! Quiet beach being on the end. See you next year 459!!

Love the area and the unit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The unit had the most amazing views from multiple angles. It is well worth the extra $ for the corner units. We arrived early and the unit was not yet ready, but the property managers called me as soon as it was (and still way early). We have been to El Matador over the winter, which is also nice, but late August is wonderful too - beach set up available, low crowds, not a party atmosphere, since most kids are back to school. Being basically at the end of the road gives a serene quality which was much needed for me. We would definitely return.

Great Experience

We enjoyed our stay at El Matador very much! The condo was even more comfortable and well supplied than we had anticipated. Very clean and fresh! Beautiful view from the Corner unit. We have already made a plan to come back to this same unit next summer!

Nice but not the cleanest

Our unit was nice, we had an amazing view! The elevators were a little scary. While doing maintenance one day, they had a generator parked right outside the elevators with only one small orange cone. Very unsafe. The furniture in our unit was outdated but comfy. We didn’t like how far down the island we were. We prefer to be closer to the other end and didn’t realize it was sooooo far. But that’s nothing bad about the unit itself. If the unit had some updating done, it would have been perfect (minus the long drive down the island).

GREAT VIEWS!

The condo was clean, but had a musty smell upon entering. Wasn’t terrible but definitely noticeable. Condo view was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, but the actual condo needs updating! AC worked fabulous! No washer and dryer. Definitely bring your own pillows! Linens for couch bed were subpar. The location of room couldn’t be beat, but interior lacked any style and comfort.

Needs updated

The room was very dirty and had a musty smell. The service panel was missing on the breaker box and had exposed wires. It really needs updating the hot water doesn't last very long so don't waste time in the shower.
