"Springbreak
Enjoyed our stay! Love the floor unit!"
Apr 13, 2026 - , Inman, SC
"Good vacay get away
We come to El Matador every year with a large group and many of us use Alecia Hollis. Very pleased with the service and the condo. We have stayed in unit 316 many times but it needs a little TLC. Small things like a new bathmat (That one has been there at least 7 years and seen better days), a few light bulbs need to be replaced above table...minor things. I appreciate the well stocked kitchen. Coming into the condo from the patio was the worst part. No grass, only sand. There were a couple pieces of corroded, rusty pipe, trash in the sand but I removed those. Staying in same unit next year so overall a good condo.
"
Jul 07, 2025 - Donna S., Springville, AL
"Disappointed in El Matador Unit 316
The furnishings in this condo were absolutely so old and run down plus the condo had not been cleaned very well. In addition, we had trouble with roaches, which you call Palmetto bugs, but they are roaches. I’ve stayed in many condos at El Matador over the past 25 years and this one was horrible. "

"Perfect Room for a Perfect Vacation
Ground floor access for our young kids and big kids to go back and forth to and from the pool was a great pick. The room was clean, came with everything we needed. The larger beds in the second bedroom helped us out, we were comfortable with 2 toddlers and 2 teens in that room. The facility was clean and we felt safe the whole time leaving things on our patio and our slider open for our children. "
Sep 03, 2022 - Samantha B., LeRoy, IL
"Great vacation
We had a wonderful vacation and we’re very happy with our stay in 316. It has everything we needed, was very convenient, and had fantastic AC. The included beach service is also very nice. We will be back and I would gladly stay in this unit next time. "
Jul 19, 2022 - Earl S., FARMINGTON, AR
"Lacking a few essentials
Not a bad unit overall. Floors need cleaning. One walk across the floors barefoot and you have dirty feet. There was not a broom in the unit - which is key to keeping sand out! There was not a fly swatter - which is key to getting rid of the flies. There is mold in the shower - yuck. King size bed is not comfortable, it's hard. And the kitchen is poorly stocked. We did appreciate and use the free beach service."

DISAPPOINTED."

"Awesome
We have been coming to El Matador fir over 35 years! We always use Alicia Hollis and we are never disappointed in either of them! Great Family Vacation destination!!"

"Long/Riley August Vacation 2020
We had a wonderful time; love this condo, but .... it wasn’t very clean. We found food under several pieces of furniture. Also, found a large bug! "

"Vacation 2020
It was very simple and easy. You can book online or over the phone. The staff are very helpful. "

"Our Wonderful stay at ElMatador
Our condo was Wonderful! When we first walked in we could smell how clean it was and everything looked extremely clean as well. We were not happy with being on the first floor at first but it didn't take long to realize that this was one of the best rentals we have ever had on Okaloosa Island. The convenience was SO Nice! We will definitely be back! "

"Beach 2020 at the Elmat
Rental experience was very positive. I found the folks at Alicia Hollis very helpful and accommodating. We first staring staying at the ElMat 40 years ago and loved it. With our young grandchildren, the lawn area is excellent."
Jun 20, 2020 - , Huntsville, AL
"-Ok Stay-
We stay at the El matador every year for the past 6 years. Have had several different rooms but always a ground unit. This unit was very disappointing. This condo is very outdated, cooking pots, pans and utensils are not anything that of normal use and the pans to cook on stove top need to be trashed. Not much seating area in the living room and very uncomfortable to sit in. Outside on the patio the tile is broken and my 3 year old cut her foot on a piece of the broken tile. I would not recommend this unit until updates happen and repairs are made. "
Oct 30, 2019 - Katie J., Sulphur Springs, TX
"One week stay
Like the location of unit 316 and have stayed there before. Unfortunately the owner has not paid attention to the kitchen furnishings so if you like to cook you own meals, you might want to select another unit."
Jun 04, 2019 - Phillip M., Greer, South Carolina
"March on Okaloosa
We had a wonderful location . Great choice for relaxing."
Apr 29, 2019 - Kay M., Clare, MI
"EM 316 Family friendly
We have rented condos at El Matador through Alicia Hollis for 20+ years. Always stay here and always will. However, this stay was not what we expected. We had 4 adults. Needed 2 King and/or Queen beds. What we got was 1 King and 2 fulls. Since they have 2 beds squished into the guest room, we couldn't change or even walk around in that room. The master was great, but they took off part of the guest bathroom to make the master bath bigger. As an adult, the guest bath wasn't big enough to shower, shave or do your makeup. I will definitely stay again but I will re confirm what we booked is actually what is will be there when we arrive. "

"Great beach vacationi
We have rented at El Matador with Alicia Hollis for years. This year was the same great experience as always."

"Vacation 2018
Relaxing, peaceful, well deserved!"
Jun 25, 2018 - Denise M., DeRidder, LA
"Nice stay!
We stayed in this unit over Christmas vacation. The unit was clean and tastefully decorated with a beach theme. Since it was on the ground floor, it was easily accessed from the parking lot and we could exit through the back door to the pool and beach. I would recommend this unit. "
Jan 03, 2018 - , Kent, WA
"Annual vacation
El Matador was as great as always and Alicia Hollis Realty could not have made the rental any better. Wonderful experience!"
Oct 02, 2017 - , Pleasant View, TN
"March visit
Very good visit, except for the weather. "
Mar 11, 2017 - William S., Fredricksburg,, VA
"Okaloosa Island vacation
This was our annual vacation to Okaloosa Island. Great weather, beautiful beach, and close to great restaurants. "

"Awesome stay
The room was very nice and comfortable and we would stay in it again. "
