Management company was great to work with, the location was wonderful because we wanted to be away from crowds. A little pricey, but we were happy to stay there.
It worked for us to stay at for a few nights, but probably wouldnât book again. The property is dated and not very well maintained. Everything was functional, but very basic and dated. There isnât much decor, and what is there homemade (not always bad) or broken (for example, a glass cover one a frame was busted). Some of the walls were poorly painted or had spots that werenât painted. Super 8 quality, functional but nothing more. The bed frames were cheap and even came apart on the middle of the night when someone was sleeping. It was put back together, but definitely inconvenient. The cleanliness was the only real issue we had. One of the beds had sand in it when the blankets were first pulled back and the bed had trash, hair, and dead bugs under it. We booked last minute and options were very limited, so we didnât expect a 5 star resort, but we were hoping for something with a little more care given to the property.

We thoroughly our week at El Matador. We enjoyed being at the end of the island where it is quieter. The beach was gorgeous and the grounds well kept. We will definitely come back.

We had some issues that were out of the mgmt co control (a/c went out), & they had it fixed immediately. They went the extra mile to make sure things were right for us.

Overall, the condo was as described. The deadbolt didnât work from the outside...you could only lock it if you were in the condo. It was definitely more than 30 yards from the beach, but still not a bad walk to get there. We had a good time and I would stay here again.

Not a bad place overall, clean, but no paper towels or dish soap, beach chairs were garbage, only 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 people 4 nights, had to buy a fry pan because the ones there were garbage!

Our experience was pretty good. The place could use some updating, but served our purpose well. There was a bad smell when we first walked in the door (later deduced that it was the vent a hood filter) but we sprayed room deodorizer and was better after that. And I there needs to be places on the patio to hang things.All in all it was a good place to do the beach (which is further than 50 yards, but still close).

This was a great and affordable vacation for our family of four. The place is in a close location to the beach. Just walk out of the unit and down the path to the beach. It is an older place, but it has been renovated and was clean. It had a âretro/ Old Floridaâ feel to it and we liked that too. Lots of grassy areas for families to grill out or relax and watch the sunset. We did have some issues with the internet, but someone came right away from the realty company to fix. Very family friendly place and we would stay here again.
We decided to book a VERY last minute trip to the gulf for Memorial Day Weekend. That being said, we went in expecting that weâd gotten the ârunt of the litterâ with availabilities for the price and proximity to the beach. Not at all! Cute little place. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for us and our 2 teens, extra bonuses (activities) came with the stay, great pool, and so close to everything while still being not over crowded. We had an issue with the air conditioning leaking. The rental management sent someone out, and it was determined that it was a condo association issue. The condo association never got back with us so we did what we could to prevent further water damage. But the management company (Austin and Chris were who I dealt with upon check in) were accommodating and so pleasant to deal with.

El Matador- 117 was a great rental experience for my family of four. We have two Children (5&2) and this location was perfect. No Elevators needed to get to the room and a short walk to the pool and beach. The condo itself was in great condition and comfortably fit our family! The floors were a bit dirty/sandy, but thatâs to be expected on a first floor condo near the beach. There was some minor maintenance that was needed, but did not hinder our stay at all. The outdoor space outside the condo also allowed a grassy area for our kids to run around in. I highly recommend this condo for families traveling and looking for a nice relaxing vacation. If we head back to the pan handle we will absolutely consider this condo again.

My family returned for a second year and we're really not people who complain but this unit was bad, the floors were never mopped, the furniture is disgusting zero hot water, after running it for 20 minutes. 1 roll of toilet paper, zero sponges or anything to clean anything with.The storms I guess kicked up a bunch of algae on the beach so the water wasn't an option so we had to drive to another area in destin to enjoy the beach which obviously isn't in your hands. The condo as mentioned wasn't great and won't be getting that unit again, we were so disappointed we ledt a day early. But we are still plan on returning next year as we really do like the property as a whole just not this unit.
The trip started with the property manager informing us there was a leak and had to be a hose draining into the ONLY bathtub/bathroom in the unit. She also lied saying âthere are no other units available on the island for you.â In isolation- the hose would be no big deal as she said theyâd be out to fix on Monday. However, upon arriving at the unit. It was terrible. Mold and rust in the bathroom, dirty, blinds across the sliding door that didnât work, an old, dirty, wobbly horrible outside table. It was absolutely horrific and we checked out early as we learned there certainly were other units available. This was unsanitary and DANGEROUS for my small children.

We had a great time here! We love the El Matador complex and location. The first floor was great for our boys to go out and play in the nice grass area. Their pool is great and close to the beach which is very convenient!
While you can tell they havenât made it to the bathroom yet as far as updates, everything was nice and functional! No issues at all during our stay. đ

This condo is a nice location just steps away from the beach, the two pools were clean and easy to get to. They are located at the very end of the strip so there is no traffic beyond your condo. The condo was clean, mostly updated however itâs considered a home away from home so you have to wash your towels if your run out, bring all your cleaning, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, dish soap.. ect because it is not provided to you. Thereâs washing machines on each level and itâs $1.50 to wash and dry so something to keep in mind if your staying a whole week and want clean bath towels and dish towels. Overall this was a nice quiet place, the kitchen is nice to have to cook breakfast and lunch and not have to eat out so much!
This was an outstanding location and a wonderful stay for our family vacation! Close to everything but still private enough to be away from all the hustle of tourists! Definitely a place to stay again!
We stayed in this unit during the fourth of July week. The island was very busy but the resort was quiet. This unit had several updates and was clean, however the sliding glass door to the patio needs replaced badly. The bathroom could use some updates but again was clean.
Other than that the unit was super convenient and had plenty of room. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

IT was a really good experience. The Property is really nice and an amazing location. The Condo itself had a few issues. The Sliding back door was in rough shape and really hard to open and close. The Fan in the Master was a lil sketchy. and A few of the Doors to the Pantry and Closet were in rough shape. Other than that, Great experience!
Nice condo and Alicia J. Hollis, Realtor made it easy to check in

Great time at the beach. Ground floor is great for the kids to come in and out and have some additional room to play outside. Great grassy area right on the balcony. Save guarded grounds great for family.
