This was our first time renting a condo and it was a great experience. Great security, easy beach access. We stayed in unit 242 which was not beach front, but one building back. It was just a short walk to the beach and pool. It was nice to have a full kitchen so we could cook some meals and not... More

If the unit we stayed in is the norm for this place, it is very over-rated. We chose to stay there based on the recommendation of our neighbors who go there every year and the good reviews online. Maybe I set my expectations too high? The unit could have been amazing, but it was in need of updating and a... More

Enjoyed the vacation at El Matador. Had a work out room that was nice to go to daily. Beach was not very crowded and very relaxing. View from deck was very nice. Only thing that was an issue was the laundry and daily papers required quarters but there wasn't any where to get the change. Was told to go to... More

Very quite and not much traffic. We were in building 5 at the back of the complex on the 6th (top) floor giving us a fantastic view of the... More

Over 20 miles of undeveloped beach to the west open to foot traffic only. Nice folks at the rental agency. Unit was clean and well appointed. Had a great... More

I found this condo (#441; fourth floor in Bld. 4) on VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) but you can also deal with the El Matador Management Company. I dealt with the owner who lives & is a real estate agent in Georgia and very accommodating. We booked from May 10th - 17th (not always that easy to book during the... More

This is our fourth stay at this property in our fourth unit. We stayed in a lovely unit on the sixth floor of building 4(beach front). Sadly we could not be on our balcony or even open our sliding doors without being engulfed in cigarette smoke from the guy one floor down(458) This guy was out there from 8:00am until... More

We stay at this resort 1-2 times each year. The location is awesome with miles & miles of undeveloped island to the west of the property. Sand is sugar white & waters are turquoise clear. Staff is very friendly. The resort is very spread out so plenty of space for families & couples to enjoy. A few units we've stayed... More
