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. Comfortable Two Bedroom Rental

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.

A few tips: stop at reality for keys and meal plan around a skillet
Excellent location and beautiful views! This property had a couple things that we expected and didn’t have. A vacuum or dustpan (broom but no dust pan), a set of pots and pans, and silverware. We didn’t check the cabinets before we made our first grocery run and became inventive with the one skillet and the one fork. We also weren’t aware that the check-in location was a different “office” than the property “office.” There were a few things that I would have cleaned but overall this is a great property! The views and location made up for the MINOR inconveniences of key pickup and unstocked kitchen.
