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.

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An outdated property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.

Condo was very outdated and fold out couch was broken dining room light did not work. Was not cleaned very well. Found use Contacts on the dining room rug and cheese it’s and little bags of chips by the couch . I called and they had maintenance come fix the dining room light and try to fix the couch. No way this condo sleeps 6 . When I called she said the foldout couch sleeps two kids. But it was Broken broken. I went to Walmart and bought a air mattress. My family loved the Beach and property. Probably would rent from a different condo.

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!
