Wonderful location. Steps to the beach and pool. The view is a bit misleading from the pictures, but the balcony is wonderful. There was some storage type containers along the wall to the beach which distracted from the view as well as a lot of large items for disposal by the dumpster which was not in line with the property care overall. Communication at the beginning of booking was lacking but no issues during stay. Lots of eateries nearby.
The stay at El Matador was nice and relaxing. I had no issues with the condo. It was pretty nice as a matter of fact. I am working on transplanting myself from the greater Chicagoland region and am in the process of moving around to see where I would like to stay permanently. Okaloosa Island is a nice quiet place with very nice people if that is what you are looking for. I was here in mid February so I am not sure what happens yet when the "Spring Break" and "Vacation" seasons arrive. I am assuming that people keep the peace around the Ft. Walton Beach area and it doesn't get too crazy. I decided to relocate to the East end of the Island since I do not have a vehicle and the restaurants seem to be located over here. Overall, the Ft. Walton Beach area is a great place to relax and enjoy life if that's what you are looking to do.

Good and bad things about this property and overall just felt like it was okay at best. The listing photos, we felt, were a tad deceiving. The patio faces much more of the parking lot than shown. Additionally, the sand view in the photo and listing saying it is beach front which leads one to believe you are just an elevator ride down to the beach access however this particular unit is in the very front of the property- farthest from the beach so about 2 blocks equivalent to the beach which isn’t bad but just a little misleading. For a studio, size was great. However the unit was not adequately clean. Floors left a black film on your feet and if you wiped them at all, paper towel came back black. Unit has a weird smell upon entry- a bit like mothballs. The bathroom is in DESPERATE need of an update and deep clean. The grout on the floor tile is black but you can see in the corner where it was originally white and felt grimy. The pull out sofa bed sheets had not been cleaned or changed and had food crumbs and hair on it. Additionally, we were given one roll of TP, one trash bag, and only 4 bath towels for 4 people for a 4 day stay. Elevator was out of order entire stay. However, the part of town the condo is located in is great. Hosts were kind, helpful and communicative when asked questions. Unit has potential but overall was a bit disappointing and needs proper cleaning
We loved the room, it was perfect for the couple. Everything was well managed and the view was good too. It was peaceful and loved the late night pool access.
