El Matador is heaven on earth. I stay here every 4th of July!!!! This is my 2nd year at Patricia and Jan's condo and I'm as happy this year as I was last year. She has done was upgrades at the condo and it looks great. Step out the back door to a LARGE pool, tennis courts, and grills, or out the front door to the sauna and hot tub. Beach chair service is available to purchased. We rent a boat every year and go up the Chotawatchee bay past The El Matador to several little private islands. It truly is heaven on Earth. I'm ready to book next year.

Super nice resort and private. Condo was small for the four of us but we made it work! Pull out couch was a bit uncomfortable but we bought a topper and left it for future travelers! All in all we had a great time. Pool right outside the door and 4 minute walk to the beach. We will be back

Great stay!!
We had no issues! I didn't need the host for anything but felt like they could be easily reached if needed. Although, they seemed to have all the bases covered. The Condo was very nice. We cooked while there and all the cookware was provided. It was a little walk to the beach, but it was not unreasonable. With all of our beach gear in tow, we opted to just drive closer through the parking lot. It really was not an inconvenience at all and there were always parking spots available closer to the beach walk ups. There is a pool, laundry room, and gym right next to were we were staying so that was extremely convenient.

Gorgeous condo!
First time being in a condo in Florida and it did not disappoint! The complex was safe and easy access to the beach. The condo itself was awesome with everything we needed (linens, towels, movies, beach gear). Check in was a breeze!! The only thing I would recommend would be a map/layout sheet of the complex in the condo. Other than that? The owners were great, all was clean, and we will definitely stay again!

The overview
Good room for a good price! Little miscommunication on check in procedure but was settled before check in time. Had one huge cockroach in bathroom but no other problems flushed it down toilet hood to go! Definitely worth the price overall and location is within a few minute walk of the beach not to far from Destin either I would recommend

Absolutely perfect
The condo is perfect for couples. Location, location location. The private beach is AMAZING!!! We rented a pontoon boat from Marine Adventures which is literally .5 mile from the condo. We spent an entire day on a private beach!!!! Less than 10 minutes from Destin HarborWalk Village!!! Less than 5 minutes from Gulfarium!!!! 15 minutes from Pelican Adventures. Two great restaurants within 2 minutes Fubar and AJ'S. Patricia is an amazing host. Responds immediately and provides the cutest little place for her guest. We will definitely return next year.

Nice & cozy
Place was in a great location, close to the beach and next to the pool. Condo was clean and the bed was comfy. Shower could definitely use some more water pressure though. It also didn’t seem to have much of a hot water reserve either. Definitely would come back for another stay!

The place was just as pictured/described. Pool was nice and short walk to the beach. The bed was not comfortable and the air conditioner was loud but everything else was fine, still good for the price! I would stay here again.

The property is on the first floor right by the pool and beach. Most of the furniture has been updated which the pictures don’t show. Checkin is easy and property owner was a pleasure to work with. No issues just a great time overall.

Awesome!
Our stay was great, it was close to the beach! Only had a couple minute walk. We accidentally locked ourselves out of the room, but it was a quick process to get back into the room. However, the only complaint I would have is the bed is quite small, especially for someone 6ft or taller. Other than that, it was great!

Review of Stay
Checking in went smooth, the condo easy to find. However, once we got into our condo, we weren't too impressed. It needed quite a bit of updating, as we had seen other rooms in our same condo that were pretty well updated. It wasn't very clean, mainly the bathroom which had a tampon applicator behind the toilet on the floor. But if I could see it, so should the cleaning company. The back patio door also was alittle sketchy. There was a pin holding the doors together, but all it took was jiggling it a little bit and the pin fell out & it opened right up. Thankfully, we found the other way to lock it on the handle. Also, the dresser drawers were broken in the (not very private) bedroom, which my husband fixed before we were even able to use it. The drawers in the kitchen were also the same way, most of them were crooked and could be easily fixed. I feel like it could have been more tidy in the kitchen also. The stove had a broken burner, all the cabinets looked like stuff was just put in them to get them put away, instead of being organized. Also the pull out couch looked like the same one in my Florida vacation home 20 years ago, and the mattress could basically prove it. We had to buy our kids a different blow up mattress. The TV remote battery cover was taped on too....It was just disappointing, being that we drove almost 20 hours to relax in a nice condo for our very first family vacation, and that is what we ended up with. It was nice having the tennis court right outside our back door, and also the pool right outside the front door. But overall, I think simple updates and cleanliness would have gone a long way.

We loved our stay in this condo. We loved being able to park right by the door to unload our stuff. The walk to the beach was easy. Its a small condo but it fit our needs and our budget and we had one of the best beach trips this year.
