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.

"Romero vacation 24
This property was perfect for us"
Aug 05, 2024 - Paula R., Lafayette, LA
"annual trip to FWB
We have been staying at El Matador for about 40 years. love the location of unit 314. It is spacious and in the perfect location. "
Apr 04, 2024 - Karin C., Lagrange, il
"Another year, another great trip!!!
We, as a family, have been visiting The El Matador for over 40 yrs. This year was just as good as the first. Very family friendly as always and very accommodating. Already booked for 2024!!!"
Aug 12, 2023 - David R., West Monroe, LA
"Summer Stay
The Staff at Hollis was awesome as usual. Unfortunately, unit 314 needs some attention by the owners. Damaged appliances, paint chipping and pealing, everything is outdated. The unit was dirty. The AC unit wasn’t functioning, however that was due to a clogged drain and not a fault of the owner. Having maintenance in our room several times a day for 5 days wasn’t a great experience. "

"50th Anniversary Trip!
Had a great time this year! so good that we added a extra day. Hard to leave Condo! Staying 10 days or 2 weeks next year."
May 23, 2023 - , LeRoy, IL
"Bad Experience
2 good things about our stay was being out of the cold and snow and being with family and 2 of our great grand children. In the unit the sewer backed up in the bath sink and water wouldn't drain in the shower. I Killed 1 cockroach before they sprayed and 2 after. The smoke alarm would go off when the oven door is opened etc.

Alicia Hollis rental company very efficient. "

"Great beach vacation
Perfect location for a relaxing stay at the beach."
Sep 03, 2022 - Karen M., Gainsville, GA
"Best time at the beach!
We loved this unit! It was easy to access the pool and beach. The free beach service was certainly used to the fullest and the unit itself was big, open and comfortable."
Jul 11, 2022 - Tiffany V., Homewood, AL
"Bare essentials
Furniture bed etc needs replacing. None of the lamps worked or the bulbs were out. "
Jun 18, 2022 - Shawn D., Longview, TX
"Condo was like stepping back into the 80s
The condo could use an update. Furniture is old and not comfortable, bed was awful, head of bed was lower than foot of bed and it was very difficult to get comfortable. The bathroom didn’t even have a blow dryer. "
Jun 02, 2022 - , Fate, TX
"Great rental.
Enjoyed our stay. Rental had everything you needed. Beach rental is a bonus."
Oct 11, 2021 - Robyn K., Ballwin, Mo
"Amazing!!!
My Husband, our 2 daughters (ages 8 & 13) and I had such an amazing time!! The room was so cute (a little dated, but that was totally fine!) and the location of the room, well we couldn’t as for a better one! It was bottom level and facing the pool and the beach! Our view from our windows and patio door was so beautiful, the people who worked there and stayed there were so nice and helpful! Every morning we would wake up early to walk the beach and see the gorgeous sunrise! And what was so nice it wasn’t a long walk to the beach at all! You also get to see the coolest planes, jets and helicopters since your close to the Air Force, which was so cool!! Everything worked great in our condo as far as the microwave, oven and refrigerator. There was a dishwasher but we didn’t use it. The bed was comfortable and there was a ceiling fan in the master room (and a small fan on the dresser which we used as well)and living room, ac worked great, there’s a pull out bed in the couch where our 2 daughters slept and they had no complaints! If you needed to wash clothes the washer & dryer room in the building was so close to our room which we used once and worked great just make sure you have quarters bc you do have to pay to use it, I want to say it was $1.50 for washer and same for the dryer.Things to bring that helped us hand soap, dish soap, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, paper plates, disposable cups forks spoons and knives, small laundry detergent, small box of dryer sheets, sun screen, first aid kit, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide (helps for swimmers ear), food snacks and drinks, beach towels (you can never have too many) and of course personal hygiene and trash bags. Those were very helpful to us. We loved our stay, and we will definitely go back and choose the same room again! "

"El Matador 314 Oct 2019
went well"

"FUN IN THE SUN
Great time with the family. Would recommend. Not over crowded like most places, and plenty of green space. We will be back again."
Aug 22, 2019 - Pete T., Metarie, LA
"Excellent
We love the location of the department that we had, it was clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed. "
Aug 14, 2019 - Erika S., Spring, TX
"Exceeded Expectations
Great experience. This home we stayed in was spotless, well appointed and in a super location. Certainly will try to stay here on our next trip to Ft. Walton."
Aug 14, 2019 - Bill P., Ellijay, GA
"AMAZING
We had the best time in 314. Perfect location, the room has lots of space, very clean. "
Jul 17, 2018 - Ginger P., Chatanooga, TN
"Sand, surf, and Sun
First trip to Florida in the winter. We met friends who have been coming here for several years to the el Matador. We enjoy the area and found lots to do in the vicinity with lots to see. Our only concern was with the amenities and general condition of the unit. Appliances were old. Vacuum was inoperable. Kitchen was a hodgepodge of things. Deck furniture was rusty. We did not see too many other units, but this was not up to other units. I
"

"Super Vacation!!
It was great! Kitchen was well supplied, air conditioning worked great. Loved being on the first floor and just steps away from beach and pool."
Jul 01, 2016 - , Dunkerton, IA
"El Matador #314
Enjoyed our stay here this year! We have stayed in this condo several times. So close to the beach. Loved the remodeled kitchen and bathroom. Now new furniture in the living room and bedroom?"
Jun 07, 2016 - Karen G., Owensboro, KY
"30 years and counting
Been vacationing at El Matador for 39 years with children and now grandchildren. Love this place. My condo 314 is right on the beach. It is somewhat outdated and the tv is an old 15 inch box which is disappointing,."
Apr 13, 2016 - Joan S., Bloomfield Hills, MI
"EL MATADOR Ft. Walton Bch. Fl., an" OLDIE, BUT GOODIE."
EL MATADOR is an older complex that has been well kept. Very good location and reasonably priced, especially for the winter season. Our unit was ground floor and steps to the "sugar-like" sand beach. 2 pools, one heated. Minor problems were taken care of by HOLLIS in a timely manner. Our major complaint, not much to do in FT. W. Bch. if one does not fish or play golf. However, it is a nice complex and well located. "
Apr 04, 2016 - Jack & Gloria H., Rochester, MN
"El Matador - beautiful beach and lovely landscaping
This was our second year to stay in 314 and hopefully we'll be back next year. It's perfect for small children to walk out the door to a grassy play ground."
Nov 16, 2015 - Don & Judy W., Eclectic, AL
"Rain, Rain
Our stay would have been more enjoyable had the torrential rains stayed away."
Nov 04, 2015 - Jim S., Montgomery, AL
"I'll be back
With a name like "El Matador" it seemed displaced in the gulf. I was expecting motel 6 but was pleasantly surprise by the quality and the beach is outstanding. "
Oct 12, 2015 - David A., Decatur, AL
"Excellent Stay at El Matador
We were so pleased. Amanda was so kind helping us make the reservation. The office had our materials and key ready when we arrived, the condo was immaculate, nice, well kept, comfortable and safe. I appreciate the quiet hours after 10:00 and the condition of the entire property. We would like to rent this condo again next mid-June. "
Jul 07, 2015 - Donna G., Dallas, TX
"Almost perfect
Nice unit. Just needs larger TVs!"
Jun 15, 2015 - Marnie Sevier E.
"better than Hawaii..........perfect except one thing
I would definitely come back again to exactly the same spot and same condo if the owner did just one thing: buy a new bed. The bed is a very old innerspring mattress and the bedding is thread bare. "
Nov 25, 2014 - lynn c., rathdrum, ID
"El Matador
It was awesome!"
Aug 11, 2014 - Brandi Waltman G., Baytown, Tx
"Great Vacation
Dealing with the rental company was great. We had no issues during our stay. The rental unit was just as described. The location of the room was fantastic."
Aug 10, 2014 - Donna L., Stockbridge, GA
"P Family Vacation 2014
The rental was extremely nice and very convienetly located to the pool and beach. The only problem was the floors did not seem very clean when we arrived. There were spots on the kitchen floor. Also, the bedroom did not seem to cool down with the A/C at night. "
Aug 04, 2014 - John P., Baton Rouge, Louisiana (LA)
"Great time
Stayed several times at El Matador love the family atmosphere."
Jun 22, 2014 - Kenneth A., Temple, GA
"A Little Old, but Very Nice!
The unit definitely needs renovated, the decor is circa 1976 I think, but it was very clean, very comfortable and location can be beat! We'll definitely be back!"
Sep 09, 2013 - Diane O., Gibsonia, PA
"lyda
perfect"

"jul 6-13
We have stayed in this unit in previous years, this year after paying extra $50.00 cleaning the floor was still sandy, should have been swept before mopping. Air was fixed very fast, after my call. Thanks Steve you may need to hire Quality control to check unit after cleaning says unit ready. "
Jul 23, 2013 - Robert R., Plano, Texas
"Perfect Location
This property is very spacious and has a direct view to the ocean. The bed and pillows are very soft and comfy. The pull out couch was great for my two small boys. We very much enjoyed our stay!"
Apr 27, 2013 - , Kirkwood, MO
"Great location, needs bigger hot water heater
Loved the location, great to be that close to the beach and pool. The condo could use some updating with the electrical outlets. Many were very old and the plugs wouldn't stay in the outlets. There wasn't near enough hot water available. There wasn't even enough hot water for a ten minute shower."
Sep 24, 2012 - Julie B., Muscle Shoals, AL
"Nice condo in a great location
Great location, great beach, thanks again to Alicia and Chris!"
