About this property
Reef Retreat El Matador BEACHFRONT resort 1000sq ft -owner managed-newly updated
Discover the beauty of the Emerald Coast in Fort Walton Beach from this marvelous 2-bedroom condo. The spacious condo features 1 king bed, 2 twin beds, a living room with a leather sofa queen bed, and 2 bathrooms with a shower and bathtub.
The kitchen has been newly renovated with stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops and custom cabinets - you will find everything you need to make a feast or just like snacks throughout the day. There is plenty of counter space for food prep and a full pantry to store your food.
Enjoy the convenience of amenities like a fitness room, sauna, jacuzzi, tennis, basketball courts, BBQ grills all on a 12-acre landscaped park like setting where the kids can run around and play yard games after a long day at the beach! We have two private beach access points - one with a gazebo and ramp - both have showers and foot wash stations. There are two pools - one gulf front that is 9 feet deep and the other which is seasonally heated at the clubhouse. Loungers and vending are nearby for your convenience.
The El Matador sits on a private stretch of beach at the end of the island - west is 12 miles of undeveloped barrier island so you will find much more space to spread out and enjoy the water and beach. We have beach service where you can rent paddleboards, kayaks or beach chair and umbrellas. We are also provide our own beach chairs and beach towels for your use!
While being on the quiet side of the island we are still near to the action should you choose to go out to the restaurants and attractions. We are 3 miles from the Gulfarium and The Pier and Boardwalk. We even have a new beachside restaurant serving up fresh seafood that is a block away! We have some of the most popular well-liked restaurants just a couple miles down the road from us along with mini golf, ice cream and gift shopping!
We are only 15 minutes from Crab Island in Destin where you find water amusement park, boat vending and snorkeling!
Whether you're looking to relax or explore the area, this terrific condo is the perfect home base for your getaway. We look forward to hosting you at our beach condo.

About the host
Hosted by Pamela Manko

Why they chose this property
We were drawn to the Emerald coast for its blue waters and white sand. We loved the open spacious feel of the El Matador and how much room the condo has along with the resort itself - plenty of green space which is very uncommon on beach front properties. We also benefit from being at the edge of the undeveloped beach - we have much more room to spread out on the beach - you won't find two rows of beach chairs to navigate through to get to the water!
What makes this property unique
We are a 24/7 gated community - we offer tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, two pools, jacuzzi, saunas, gym, recreation room and so much more!
