Wonderful Condo - Perfect Beach Getaway - very roomy
Loved this condo! The decorations were so classy and beautiful. Perfect Beach Condo with lots of room in the living room, kitchen and dining room The bathroom was roomy too. I have stayed on Okaloosa island about 20x and I try different places each time. This is my 10th time at El Matador, but this was my favorite condo.

Lovely Beach Condo
The condo is exactly as pictured. It has everything needed for your stay. Comfortable furniture and bed. The bay side balcony was a great place to sit and watch the boats go by. The beach is spectacular. The pools are nice, as well as, the workout room. We had a wonderful weeklong stay.

Relaxing and spacious condo
This is a nicely furnished 1 bedroom condo with a large bathroom. I couldn't give it 5 stars because most of the dishes and glasses were dirty when I checked in. I had to run everything thru the dishwasher after that, since i couldn't trust what was clean or not. The baking tray was so oily I just didn't use it. Otherwise - the view of the sound was the highlight of this stay. There is no view of the ocean from inside the condo. You can see the beach outside the front door and it is beautiful. I much preferred the view of the sound with boats and barges going by daily. It is very relaxing and soothing. Overall, a pleasant one month stay during the winter!
