"It was great staying there in 413. Closer to the beach and easy access to the parking lot. We will try to stay there next time. Only thing I found a little annoying was one of the toilets should be updated a little slow after flushing. If owner can fix that that would be great!

Response from Alicia J Hollis RENTALS:
Glad you had a great time, as far as the toilets go that is as fast as they run at the property. Hope to see you next year for your stay. God Bless.

"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.

"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.
