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.

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.

    Great location! Beach is excellent! Unit is nice. Grounds are well kept. Kitchen has lots of different appliances. No spices, no sugar, no salt nor pepper. Also, didn't have paper towels nor Kleenex so put it on your grocery list. Unit met our needs and we were happy with our stay!

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was nicely located and view was great of the beach. The down fall is the cleaning crew not cleaning very well. Found female products on the floor of my kids room and they are boys so I know it was not cleaned very well. That’s really the only down fall.

    I chose this condo based on reviews stating it was clean and well-stocked. Those are 2 top priorities for me. When we arrived the front entrance wall was covered with dried liquid splatters, one kitchen sink had what appeared to be mayo in it and the other sink had mac n cheese left in it. Closets need hangers. Furniture was very worn and heavily stained. Appliances are old but work, however the fridge is a little loud at times. We had to rewash any dishes we removed from the cabinets due to being dirty. All kitchen knives were dull. No large bowls for salad/fruit. No toilet paper was in the condo when we arrived on Sunday, someone was sent out Monday and was apologetic. A kitchen scrub brush, a bottle of dish soap and a starter roll of paper towels would have been great. A few shopping/restaurant pointers would be a nice touch. The air conditioner worked great all week which was very nice. The beach itself and the condo location were very nice. This could be a great place but it feels like the owner doesn't give it the love it deserves.

    We were very happy we chose this unit at El Matador. The master bath was roomy, the beds were comfortable and the view from the balcony was nice. The walk to the beach from this building (1) wasn't bad. We walked about 2.5 miles down the beach to the pier one day. Nice area for a family vacation or quiet getaway as a couple.

    For an older building, we were impressed. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. Very well stocked. The living room furniture was updated from pics shown. The building was quiet. Right on the beach. I do agree with other reviewers that the very larger TV armoire should be removed and just a larger tv mounted to the wall would open up the room so much! We had a lovely stay and will totally recommend this place to our friends and family as well as book again next year!

    I almost don't want to say how happy I was with our stay so I can keep it for myself. This is definitely an older building, but has been updated. The property has fantastic views of the water. Very clean!!! Close proximity to laundry if needed. Realtor very responsive and helpful. We will be using this property again when we visit the area.

    We have been coming here since 2012. We love it here, it’s family friendly and safe. We have stayed at several of the buildings and we always have a rear stay at any of them. We will be back

    We had a great stay. This is our 3rd stay at El Matador, first time in 168. Condo was very nice and had everything we needed, to sleep, cook, eat, relax, and have fun!
