" Jul 23, 2025 - Melissa M., Delhi, LA "Our stay at Fort Walton Beach, Florida This is our second year, renting a condo through Hollis real estate both years we have been at the El Matador, which is on Fort Walton Beach. Always had wonderful service, very clean condo, which is also well equipped, and great service from the real estate company. We’re glad we came here, very interesting Around here, and many wonderful restaurants." Feb 06, 2025 - Mathew & Kathy R., Lanark, IL "Perfect Fall Break We had another wonderful experience. Condo was perfect! Beds were great, condo was immaculate, and of course the location is perfect! This was my son’s first time at El Matador and he loved it. Everything about the complex is spectacular, including all the staff. And Alicia Hollis Realty makes the rental process so easy! This will always be our home away from home!" Oct 13, 2024 - Lorrie P., Culleoka, TN "Great Company and great location We plan to stay here again - and soon. " Aug 07, 2024 - Sean R., Longwood, FL "Great Time!! Loved the close walk to the beach, loved that 2 chairs and an umbrella were provided. The grounds were clean, very family friendly! The grocery store is close by. " Apr 07, 2024 - Dawn J., Dacula, GA "AJH is great For over 10 years, I have rented from AJH. The experience is always pleasant. Not every trip goes perfectly, but AJH has always been helpful." Oct 10, 2023 - James S., Clayton, AL "Piece of Paradise! Loved this rental. Easy access, close parking, comfortable beds and clean condo. We had all the basics needed. We always bring beach towels with us, you'll need to as well. I would absolutely rent this condo again. Beach chairs were a huge plus! Just find a non labeled set and let the rental guy know your condo number when he comes by. We had a wonderful stay! Perfect for all ages." Jul 11, 2023 - Edie H., McKinney, TX "Loved it It was very nice, definitely stay again" Jun 22, 2023 - , Franfurt, KY "Fantastic Condo We stayed at El Matador, and have for many years. The location, condos and beach can’t be beat. Beautiful area! And Chris with Alicia Hollis Realty can’t be beat for customer service. We love her!! " Jun 16, 2023 - Rick & Becky B., Milford, OH "Great condo Been coming to Elmatador for 40+ years. This one is great and the two walk in showers make it super for older people" Sep 03, 2022 - Gary & Jane H., Cincinnati, OH "Success! I rented Unit 413 to be used by more guests than I could accommodate in my unit." Jun 09, 2022 - Dr. Jayne M., Opelika, AL "Winter Vacation The original unit I reserved has bed bugs and we had to relocate to another unit that was not comparable to the original unit reserved. Have not gotten the $$$ worked out at this time so that may be another negative." Jan 06, 2022 - Dixie N., Glasgow, KY "Gulf Front Love El Matador complex - have been coming to the area for years. The unit; although nice, needed some minor tending - outside doorwalls were very dirty - had to clean them so we could see out. Doorwall in living room did not have a functioning lock. Mattress in sleeper sofa most definitely needs replacement. Unit for 6 had five dinner forks. Other than these few minor complaints we had a wonderful time and plan on returning next spring." Apr 12, 2021 - , Auburn Hills, MI "Fall Break We love El Matador & this condo was perfect for our week. Conveniently located on the first floor & close to pool & beach." Oct 27, 2020 - , Germantown, TN "2018 Vacation Another great vacation. This is our third year in Unit 413 and our fourth year at El Matador. Love the place. The condo is great with all amenities needed. Grounds are kept beautiful. Great family place. Definitely will be back next year." Jun 28, 2018 - Nancy S., Louisville, KY "Birthday getaway! Fantastic! " Jun 19, 2018 - , LeRoy, IL "Family Spring Break Very nice complex. Steps to the beach, nice pools. One was heated which was great! Utilized the fitness room often. Property was very well maintained, guards at gate super friendly. Loved the beach chair and kayak rental. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Recommend a new coffee pot, the one in unit is extremely slow to brew. Also need metal spatulas for grill. " Apr 13, 2018 - Amy S., Springboro, OH "Double rent Sliding glass windows in the living area and bedroom would not open and became a safety hazard for fear they might fall from frame. Furniture was old and uncomfortable so I rented a recliner. Rented another unit 10 days into the month thus paying double therefore we shall not be returning. Weather was terrible but snowbirds were great." Mar 05, 2018 - John C., Crossville, TN "Best getaway my family and I have had in a long time!!! What a great place to bring your family. Friendly staff, clean condo, great amentities! Amazing location- central for resteraunts off all kinds, convienience stores are in close proximity, while the condo remains up to date and uncrowned. My family and I will definitely be going back and making this a family tradition! I HIGHLY recommend this property :)" Aug 14, 2017 - , Heath, OH "Great, updated condo Easy to book, very nice & updated condo. Enjoyed our experience. Will return." Apr 18, 2017 - Allyson B., Spartanburg, SC "A so so property We have stayed numerous times at El Matador and have always had a good experience. However, this time Unit 413 the was not as well appointed as others we have stayed in. For example, the beds were not comfortable and the sofa bed was broken. We also rented Unit 417 for my son's family which was way out of date and was not very clean upon arrival. We were told there would be a heated pool which was not true. Or, the pool was not heated to the degree it needed to be for comfort. The dryer on 1st floor was broken and it was not repaired the entire time we were there. We had to hoist washed clothes to the 2nd floor to use the dryer. Of course, the amenities of the entire property were good. We always enjoy the easy access to the beach and the security of the of the grounds. The staff was friendly and the grounds were kept clean. We return to the property a couple of times a year, and we will probably do so again. The restaurants in Ft Walton and Destin are wonderful. We particularly enjoy the Magnolia Grill, Bayou Bill's, and Bochamps. We also make a trip to Sexton Sea Food to purchase fresh catches and grill out. The property is great for that. I would recommend El Matador, but we were disappointed with the two units, and I doubt I would recommend these two units (413 and 417)." Apr 09, 2016 - Thomas S., Oak Ridge, TN "Review of 413 El Matador, 28-29 August Nice experience overall. Perfect condo for those who do not want to carry luggage a long distance, because I could drive car to within ten feet of door. No view of ocean however. Very adequate condo, but several smaller things could have been improved. No coffee filters available, no Kleenex and no paper towels, so we went out and bought them. Main room furniture dirty. Sign on the end table had instructions for renters to strip beds and take out garbage and wash dishes, more reminiscent requirements of a friends condo I stay in for free rather than one which cost well over $600 for two days, which I thought included a cleaning fee." Sep 09, 2015 - Thomas S., Warner Robins, GA "Excellent!! Great Property! Weather was great, location was great, room was great! Highly recommended. Will stay again." May 26, 2015 - Craig A., Kimberling City, MO "A real jewel! This condo is just steps away from the pool and the beach. Lots of green space for children to play in the grass just off the patio. Very convenient for loading and unloading into the condo. Semi-private beach makes it the best location in Ft Walton Beach." Apr 20, 2015 - Debbie M., Slidell, LA "El Matador 413 We have been vacationing at El Matador for years and this is one of my favorite units so far. It had everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to get a new vacuum. The one in the unit did not work and it would have been helpful for cleaning the tile floors mid week. But other than that it was a fantastic condo!" Jul 28, 2014 - Colleen H. "Vacation We had a great time." Jul 12, 2014 - Chad M., Broussard, LA "Great time! The ground room condo was wonderful! The boys could go out and play on the grass and we could walk right to the pool and beach! We will definitely be back! :)" Jun 23, 2014 - Victoria S., Gainsville, GA "413 Very good except for the lack of communication about an item left in the condo and getting it returned by mail." Mar 18, 2014 - Gerry D., Tigerville, TN "Trash Pick up The trash bin was overflowing several days and there was litter on the grounds that I picked up (poolside) on several occasions. Sliding doors need oil?" Aug 09, 2013 - Diana B., Gurdon, AR "Great Location. Bottom Floor is awesome!! We love the almost empty beach. Not crowded at all. " Jul 02, 2013 - Tom C., MN, TN "Really Enjoyable ! We enjoyed our stay as always at the El Matador. We met a great couple that stayed next door with children(that made my grandson happy). We will be back again next year !" Jun 19, 2013 - , MUNFORD, AL "Great Family Vacation Site We really enjoyed our time at El Matador in condo 413. It was one of the nicer units we have stayed in. I have booked it again for next year. We love the location and the grounds around the condos. We had a minor problem with the refridgerator and the realtor saw to it immediately. We also had some of our friends book a condo at El Matador for the first time and they are going to book again for next summer. We enjoyed watching two beach weddings and the weather overall was great. The only thing that we could have asked for was that the beach would have gotten cleaned up after seaweed got washed up after a summer storm, but we know that the realtor isn't responsible for the effects of the weather. We really appreciate the complimentary umbrella and two chairs that come with the condo rental. Thanks for a wonderful, enjoyable vacation. We look forward with anticipation to next July when we'll be back with several other families who have booked at El Matador also. We have been to Destin beaches, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Sanibel Island, Biloxi, and other beaches, but the El Matador has been our favorite place to vacation for the past eight years. " Aug 29, 2012 - Jerry or Marion L., Kaplan, LA "Great quality service for many years and years to come!! I have used AJ Hollis for many years. We are always satisfied with their service! We always stay at El Matador and have enjoyed every vacation! There has never been a problem with our rooms and we have never had any complaints. I always recommend using AJ Hollis to my friends and family. Our family appreciates the service and quality of our time spent at Ell Matador! " Jul 12, 2012 - Leigh C., Cornith, MS "El Matador 413 We have been staying at El Matador for 5 years and feel this was a great condo. It has anything you need. There were a couple of problems upon arrival, (air conditioner, dishwasher) however they were addressed right away. I would definately rent thru AJ Hollis again and stay in this condo."
