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.

Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
Thanks for your review, but, unfortunately we the Service Mgr have no control of handling the repairs on the property. They have been shutting them about 2 or 3 times to fix the plumbing in the walls that is backing up into your unit or the one next door, and we sure understand the inconvenience it has been for you all. But, it will get better when they finish repairing everything on the property.
Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
Thanks for your review that you posted about your condo, 1. your quote is incorrect, i am not sure where you came up with 250-00 it was 19-00 for the higher state tax, as far as all the other issues, we have never had complaints about this condo, and we sure apologize about all the plumbing issues but, that is something that we cannot help as it is an Assoc. issue that they have to repair. This is a beautiful unit right on the beach, and others are really going to enjoy it as they always have.
Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
Thank you. for your feedback and hope you decide to book with us again. As far as back up that was out of our control. Hope you have safe travels upon departure.

Thanks for your review about the condo, but, did you try the switch on the wall when you walk in as they turn the lights in the living room. The condo is so convenient right on the water and 10 steps to the pool and out to the gazebo, and we will do a check to see some of the items that you are mentioning to have changed.
Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
Thanks Angela, we will notify the owner, but, the furniture in the living room is fairly new about 2 years old, the bed, i sent maint. to come and see you, and no one was there to let him in. We do not provide hair dryers as people will accidentally take then, and then we are missing it. Hope to see you again down the road, and enjoy our beautiful beaches.

Amanda, thank you for your glowing comment. You are right about ground floor condos, no lugging suitcases up the elevator: you're out the condo and on the beach. You did not mention the beach service (umbrella & 2 chairs) so I hope you remember that next time. You can buy quarters from the security guard for washer/dryer. We look forward to your return visit. Call us direct at to book your next stay.

Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
This condo is directly on the gulf, and a very spacious one bdrm, facing the pool and the gazebo. What a perfect location for your entertainment and also close to the B.B.Q for your outdoor cooking if you wanted. Condo on the ground floor are very hard to keep the patio furniture there, as they are always blown by the wind, and we can only accommodate only for 4 with the one bdrm units.
Response from Alicia J Hollis REALTOR:
We are so sorry, that you did not enjoy that unit, even though they had a brand new kitchen done 2 years ago and a new walk in shower. Patio furniture being rusty, is because it gets corroded from the salt air, and we have our wonderful owners, who will be joining this condo soon, and we will get them to replace all the things that you have mentioned. But, other then that, i am so glad that you loved especially THE LOCATION of that unit, which is steps to the pool and out on the gazebo. I also hope that you enjoyed our wonderful scenery, foods in the area and activities at the el matador and most of all our wonderful GULF.
