*Nice pools with restrooms nearby
*Big private balcony
*Very easy check in/out
* Attendant at entrance to parking lot for safety
*Short commute to Destin
Cons:
*Carpet was pretty worn
*Dishwasher left dishes greasy
*Wicker dining chair was broken & sharp even with seat pad
*Laundry is not in unit & you need $3 per load in quarters

Spring break
Great place to stay but needs more. Didn’t even have a cookie sheet to bake on. Needs to have an air fryer as well. It’s the little things like that that make the place great. Also, no beach chairs. The other unit we rented last year had their balcony closet unlocked with beach chairs.

Perfect place
We stayed here to visit with family and to attend a memorial for my father. It was the perfect location for family. It wasn't too far from the beach but it was quiet and right next to the pool, basketball court, and tennis courts. Wonderful place

Lori's condo El Matador
We had a great stay at El Matador this past week. The pools are nice and the beach location at the end of fort Walton Beach is perfect. There's not a lot of traffic once you get on to oskaloosa Island which helps with eating out and access to groceries etc. We would definitely stay at El Matador again. Everything was clean and as advertised. The check-in process was super easy. We enjoyed the pools and the beach.
