Visitor Reviews (33) Write a Review! "Loved it!!! I was at the property for a week with 2 other ladies and we all loved our stay! The location is amazing, we loved the direct access to the beach from the condo and we really appreciate the daily beach setup, which avoided us having to carry more stuff with us every day. The check-in/out process was smooth. As someone who likes to eat in during my vacations, I was very pleased with the equipment in the kitchen! We would definitely come back again!" Jul 07, 2025 - Linda P., Humble, TX "Awesome vacation! This condo is exactly how you see it in the photos, it is on the 6th floor but definitely not an issue! We will definitely be coming back! There was not a single issue with communication or resort, everyone was nice and it’s family friendly which I love to see! Thanks team for making my family’s vacation great! " Jul 03, 2025 - Twana D., Prairie Grove, AR "Family Vacation Everything was great except the sofa bed. Sara bed was terrible." Jun 17, 2025 - , Morgan City, LA "Vacation 2025 Unit 361 is a great unit. View is fantastic. The unit needs upgraded especially the bathrooms. Overall it is a good place to enjoy time at the beach. " Jun 12, 2025 - Donald C., Dyersburg, TN "Good Beach time So glad AJ Hollis could come through for us when previous renter backed out at the last minute, so aggravating! But we had a good unit, beach front, pretty much everything we needed." Jun 03, 2024 - Christine K B., Irvine, NA "Sun and Gum in Fort Walton Beach Great experience with absolutely no glitches. Nice accommodations and customer service was excellent!!" Sep 11, 2023 - Ron P., Florence, AL "Hard to Say Goodbye Communication was great and check in/out was simple. The condo was spacious and well equipped. The living room furniture was very comfortable. The beds were not the most comfortable I've slept on, but not horrible. The view is EVERYTHING. We would certainly stay again." Jul 04, 2023 - Darlene S., Anderson, SC "Spring Break 2023 Love the location and the staffed gate upon entry. Unfortunately, we have decided this will be our last stay at unit 631 until it is renovated. We had the opportunity to see into several other units occupied by other renters and were impressed by the renovations including kitchen and flooring. The flooring in this unit is very old and has many area that I imagine just don't clean well. Bathrooms need to be replaced. Small mold issues, shower had trouble draining, no opportunity to take a bath due to missing drain plugs but many issue for us was the condition of the carpet. I imagine that might be where the mold smell is coming from? There were new air fresheners placed throughout the condo. Maybe to cover the smell? Looks like some type of repair work was done in the main bathroom behind the toilet. Just overall, needs renovation. I imagine it is hard to clean...however I was not pleased to find a lot of hair and an old razor in the main bathroom shower. I also found hair in main bathroom sink and dirty paper towel in main TV area. Remotes were sticky. I cleaned the condo after my findings using Lysol wipes including kitchen area. I suggest the disposal should be cleaned as it has a smell as well. Fridge was very clean! Pans in kitchen cabinets had to be scrubbed before use due to burnt on food. Coffee maker had to be cleaned. I wonder if it was just rinsed after the last use? For the cost of the cleaning fee, I just don't believe I should need to clean the condo before use. I did not vacuum but the floor looked like it needed it. Decided to just wear shoes. I did call maintenance number to report lounge chair on deck was broken and plugs were missing. Their update was pull a bar chair out to the deck and look under the sink. They could come over if I really needed them too... We decided to just enjoy the beach and forget about the bathtub. El Matador is a great location, just not this unit. Old fashioned key entry. " May 26, 2023 - Darla L., Columbia, MO "Family vacay Pleasant, perfect area, very quiet and clean" Oct 11, 2022 - Kristi W., Knoxville, TN "Great location—condo needs updating Location was incredible. On the beach and beautiful views from our condo. The condo itself needs to be updated but we paid for the view and location. There is nothing really around the complex except many other resorts. The walk to a local restaurant or store was at least a mile. Overall great place just wish our particular condo was updated. " Sep 03, 2022 - Nicolette C., Manhattan, IL "Snowbird view Our rental through El Matador was sufficiently supplied with the necessities we needed for the duration of our stay. My only complaint was having the deck furniture inside our condo for the month because of painting going on on the backside of the building. . The view was beautiful, the sunsets stunning, and the decor of the condo was very comfortable. " Mar 11, 2022 - Charles and Vicki S., georgetown, Kentucky "location Ft. Walton .Great beach .Clean " Sep 02, 2021 - Mark D., Cumming, GA "Spring Break Property definitely needs updating, especially the kitchen. Was not the original room we booked. " Apr 12, 2021 - , Clinton Township, MI "Great Value and View We loved staying at the El Matador and this unit had an excellent view of the beach, pool, and gulf! Very comfortable accommodations except the washing machine was not working. " Oct 09, 2020 - Sal O., Brentwood, TN "Favorite Beach Stay We have been coming to El Matador many years. It is timeless and perfect. We love that it is on the end of the island; never feels crowded here. " Oct 09, 2020 - , Kenner, LA "Beautiful We loved the place!! Want to go back and will for sure stay in the same one!!" Aug 14, 2019 - , Cincinatti, OHIO "Family vacation As always,a great experience!" Jul 23, 2018 - Sam S., Marion, IL "Great Family place This is our third time coming to El Matador and love it each and every time. It's quiet, family friendly, great beach access and very relaxing." Jul 09, 2018 - , Denton, TX "Perfect location Great location that was away from the hustle of the traffic but close enough to drive to the hustle. Other than a washing machine struggle, we loved it. I hate Hotel furniture. Many resorts only have this type of furniture. Not here, the condo had a very homey and relaxing feel. " Sep 05, 2017 - John M., Jackson, TN "Excellent Balcony View! We enjoyed our stay at El Matador 361. We got to see dolphins playing every morning from the balcony and I really liked that the condos have grocery carts that you can bring your groceries up on! " Jul 09, 2017 - , Louisville, KY "Unit 361 Stay 26Mar-2April 2016 The condo is very nice. This particular unit has a nice view and cute character/features/decor inside. The large patio is nice as it is accessible from the family room as well as the master bedroom. It is nice to have two bathrooms. Negatives are the carpet is ready to be replaced and there is a huge amount of variation within the different condo/unit upkeep "standards". This results in a sub-standard feel within the condo complex and one specific complaint is that we had to listen to a hammer-drill and tile saw for several hours on three days of our stay (pretty unacceptable). Grounds are mowed regularly and look nice, but there are little things everywhere that could result in a better review (example, broken/no basketball net on hoop). Pools were maintained well and were in great shape. Fitness area/building was nice as well. Finally, I think it would be nice to be asked how our stay was during checkout and/or if we had any issues (Before-hand interactions/emails were great). " Apr 09, 2016 - Jennifer D., Bellbrook, OH "very nice condo Only a couple of things bothered me about the condo. The carpet felt very dirty and I felt the need to wear shoes all the time. Also, we were very disappointed that the washer and dryer was 'out-of-order.' There was a washer and dryer down the hall, just not as convenient. Took us until the day before we left to figure out how to turn the volume up on the TV. Overall though, there were more plusses. Perfect view of the ocean from the master bedroom and the deck. Easy elevator access. Beach and pool right there. Condo had all the appliances needed for a comfortable stay. I would stay here again. I liked the quieter end of the beach." Sep 09, 2015 - Michele M., Shepherdsville, KY "Great Week at the Beach! Our unit was spacious, decorated for a true beach experience and had all of the comforts of home." Jul 07, 2014 - Susan K., Taylor Mill, KY "El Matador Loved working with Chris at AJH !!!! She was the best and made sure our vacation was perfect. " May 12, 2014 - Robin T., Pleasent Ridge, MI "Best Location! Amazing Ocean View! Top floor of bldg 3 was an excellent choice. It was peaceful, no noise from other guests and we listened to the ocean waves all night. We enjoyed many meals on the balcony. Perfect beach vacation! " May 03, 2014 - Maria H., Bloomfield hills, Mi "Furniture As usual our stay has been great. After 3 months we feel like locals. Our condo is nice and the owner has made many improvements, however, the furniture needs changing. Four different color/style of chairs and a different couch. The unit could be a "showplace". Be back in December." Apr 01, 2014 - Mike & Cyndee S., Bellaire, MI "Spectacular View, Two Bedroom Condo - Ft. Walton Beach Spectacular view, property well maintained, great condo with well stocked kitchen and comfortable bed, cleaning crew did a less than desired job, did mention this to the rental agency and was ensured this will be taken care of. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for a great week at the El Matador –Ft. Walton Beach." Oct 04, 2013 - Bobby & Melody L., Franklin, TN "Wedding from Pittsburgh No complaints" Sep 09, 2013 - , Natrona Heights, PA "great vacation Property was located in the most beautiful part of the beach. Unit view was the best of all. Overall a great time." Aug 26, 2013 - Jody A., Paris, TX "Condo 361 Great place to vacate and beautiful." Aug 09, 2013 - Audrey & Jeff E., Old Hickory, TN "Beautiful updated condo The pictures on the website didn't do this condo justice. It has been beautifully updated! We throughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you to the staff at Alicia Hollis Realty for all of your help. Each one was very professional as well as very helpful. We call ElMatador our second home. We try to visit every year. We love it! " Jun 11, 2013 - Carmen H., West Monroe, LA "El Matador Anniversary We have vacationed on our wedding anniversary at various spots along Santa Rosa Blvd. since the 1970's and El Matador is our favorite location. Beautiful beaches, plenty of dining opportunities in the area, and a pleasant family atmosphere keep it tops on our list. El Matador 361 suits our needs just fine, is usually ready when we arrive, and offers a picturesque view of the Gulf. The A.J. Hollis Realtor staff has always been very gracious and professional, happy to provide helpful hints on dining and shopping when asked. We look forward to many more anniversaries at this same spot. " Jun 16, 2012 - James B., Knoxville, TN "wonderful. Cleanist place I have ever stayed. Was the cleanist place I have ever stayed. beach was beautiful." Jun 08, 2012 - tina t., Stevenson, AL
