Great stay!!!!

Beautiful condo in a great location. We have stayed at the El Matador for years and years, and I can honestly say that this is by far the nicest condo that we have ever stayed in. It looks like it must have been updated recently and felt extremely clean, which was one of the most important factors for me when searching for a condo because our 10 month old son would be crawling everywhere. We will definitely be back to stay here!

Great Spot

July 6th-13th 2019 We have a two year old child and the room was PERFECT for us to get to the pool and back to the room. I counted 30 steps from the back of our room to the pool. Room was big and very clean. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty of room to put your clothes. I would definitely get this room again. Thanks.

Nice before the storm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got to stay 3 nights before Hurricane Michael ran us off. We did get a refund for nights we missed and this was all handled very well. Property was as described. Room was nice. It could use some updates here and there but was clean. Kitchen and bath was furnished sufficiently. We really liked the ground floor unit. Very convenient for loading and unloading and a very short walk to the beach and pool. Loved the location being the last complex on a dead end road. Would definitely stay again and hopefully we'll get the chance soon.

Perfect room for our anniversary trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit had all we could’ve asked for and more! It was so clean, well appointed and comfortable. The air gets very cool! That is a must for my husband. The bed was comfortable and the TVs were great quality. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. Bring your own paper towels. The walk to the pool is 30 steps. The beach is so close and the boardwalk is short with 4 steps at the bottom. The AJ Hollis team was wonderful to work with! You will go pick up a physical key but it is very close to the condo and on the way. We cannot wait to stay at El Matador 414 again in the future!
