We have stayed at the El Matador multiple times over the years in a different condo each time and this was our favorite! We will definitely rebook this condo if available next time.

September Stay 2020
Very nice condo, very clean. It had everything we needed and the management company was very accommodating to our needs. The beach service was also very handy. Don't forget to step out your front door in the evenings to see uninterrupted views of spectacular sunsets.We highly recommend this unit for its views and its amenities.

We had a wonderful stay at El Matador, as always. We stayed in 466, it was nice and spacious. The weather was perfect and the water was calm and clear. Would recommend and stay again.

COVID-19 Getaway
We so enjoyed this unit. The removal of entry wall and new ceiling in kitchen opened up this unit to a cheery entry. The kitchen was amply supplied with every need and the view was gorgeous. Being on the 6th floor eliminated overhead noise and abutting the military property made the beach empty and safe. We also enjoyed the sturdy and comfortable porch furniture and a few extras like beach toys. We want to go back for a month next time.

Beautiful Unit with updated kitchen
This unit is perfect for families who are staying a bit longer as the kitchen is filled with every appliance you may need!

Came down to get married on the beach. Enjoyed our time, from our condo to the wedding to the reception. El Matador was very accommodating to all our outside guests. We enjoyed our stay and the room was terrific.

Very well stocked kitchen. Beds and patio furniture were great. The living room furniture was not very comfortable. Definitely will try to stay there in the future

We love staying at this well-appointed condo. This was our third stay in 466 and probably our 10th or so at the El Matador. Off the beaten path and always quiet.

We have vacationed at El Matador for many years. Condo 466 was the nicest condo we've ever had there. Very impressed with the kitchen, as well as the comfort of the beds and furniture. We usually try a new space every year in building 3 or 4, but for future visits will definitely use this condo!

Very pleased
I just love this condo, the El Matador and the staff. Just wish I could say the same about the weather during this week.
Manager's Response: We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your unit. We are sorry that the weather did not cooperate while you were here :(

Bed frames on twin beds still need to be replaced. This was supposed to be submitted to the owners last year when we stayed in their unit but nothing has been done yet. The frames are wobbly and not safe. They are not the quality that should be used for continued rental use.
Managers Response:
Thank you for reviewing your stay. We have replaced the frames on the twin beds.

Room 466 El Matador
Me and my family had a great time at the El Matador. I like how the grounds were kept up and the pools were very clean. I am looking forward to coming back. It's hard for me to look at other condos because I really love the El Matador. I didn't get to talk to the staff much cause I was too busy enjoying the beach and we never had any problems with our stay. If I make it back next year I'm going to come down a day early and spend the night somewhere else. I arrived at 6 or 7 Saturday. My room was ready early and we could have enjoyed all the amenities and had a extra day. This place is wonderful and I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful
Everything about our stay was perfect. The grounds were beautiful and the condo was clean and decorated nicely. We were lucky with beautiful weather and crystal clear water. We couldn't have asked for anything more.This was our second year. We will definitely be back.
Thank You

Great Week
We usually stay at El Matador at least 1 week per year. It is a beautiful location for a quiet and relaxing time at the beach. The property is well maintained and unit 466 is one of our favorite units. Check in was very easy and we arrived earlier than planned. Our unit was ready and the manager was very kind about allowing to check in early. Thank you for a very relaxing week at the beach.

Beautiful View, Nicely Decorated, Easy Entrance
First of all, the view was gorgeous. Secondly, we loved the updated décor. As a previous owner, I appreciated the effort that was put towards the décor. Lastly, with six adults and other family members on the property, it was great having the keypad for entry rather than try to share keys. We would definitely request to rent this unit again!!!! Cannot praise it enough!!!!

The best unit so far :)
We absolutely loved unit 466 - the decoration was beautiful and open! We also loved sitting on the deck each morning with the beautiful sunrise shining on us as we had our coffee - so perfect! The unit has every cooking utensil imaginable! Great unit :D

Fort Walton Beach's best kept secret
The El Matador is a gem! The grounds, beach, pool, and common areas are meticulously maintained. The staff and security are friendly and welcoming. We stayed in unit 466 and I am so happy we did! It felt like home the minute we opened the door. The views from the balcony were breathtaking, and the unit was super clean and so tastefully decorated. The kitchen was spacious, well equipped and frankly, a joy to cook in. The complex is in a great location- 10 minutes to the grocery store or the Boardwalk, which our adult children enjoyed for an evening out, yet private enough to not feel "touristy". I highly recommend El Matador. We are already planning next year's vacation!

Very nice condo
We have stayed at El Matador several time and this year was our best stay thus far. We were in condo #466. It has been completed remodeled. It has an open kitchen with all new appliances/cabinets and fully stocked with anything you may need for cooking etc. Bathrooms are completely remodeled as well. We always enjoy El Matador and highly recommend it especially for families. It has very nice grounds for young children to safely run around etc.

A wonderful trip
I was in a panic looking for a place to stay at the last minute and I was wonderfully surprised at what I found. It was such a surprise and the condo was beautiful. We will for sure be renting again on our next trip to Fort Walton Beach. Thank you for a wonderful weekend in one of the best units on the beach.
