Corn starch
The beach couldn't be nicer, the sand was as soft as corn starch. Definitely a bonus having the beach service included. The extra beach toys were very much appreciated. I wish there was at least salt and more than a half roll of toilet paper upon arrival. Will definitely be back to this slice of heaven on earth.

Very Nice
We have spent many enjoyable vacations at El Matador. The property is well maintained and we like that the beach is not overcrowded. The only downside to our stay in 367 was that we saw both adult and small roaches in the kitchen area. I was distressed that we would bring them back to our home. I hope this is issue is addressed by the owners.

Aw the Gulf
Condo was very clean, amenities were as stated, beautiful setting on the Gulf of Mexico. It also was very quiet and peaceful, El Matador is the last condos on the west side of Oskaloosa Island. The only recommendation I could make is replacing the dishwasher. Other than that it was great!

Sunny time.
Overall good experience. Basic kitchen supplies. Floor tile was in need of a good cleaning. Bath towels were thin. Nice location. Glad beach chairs and umbrella were included at the beach. Would stay there again. Tim

Bad experience bad owners
We had to come in for a cheer competition then also had a death in the family we were here for last min. Did not come in till 12am drive all night and with the circumstances did not remember to mention our medical service dog was with us. Condo was pretty clean but there was dried toothpaste on all sinks. The lobby area was covered in water every day which was very slippery and smelled weird. Our service dog only lays on the floor and got a few hairs on a cheap blanket from the closet the owners had zero compassion for us or our circumstances and took the opportunity to charge us full deposit for a blanket. They also were asking for documentation that they are not legally allowed to ask for when it comes to service animals. I would absolutely not recommend staying here as they are looking for any reason or hair to take the deposit. Even after we offered to replace a thin cheap blanket. Worst experience at a VRBO yet.

Perfectly fine, aging, great view and location
This place would be a perfect to "snowbird" away the winters. The complex itself was very well kept up and clean with a lot of amenities and plenty of friendly people. The location is fairly perfect for peace and quiet but is a bit of journey to the nearest restaurant but we just grocery shopped and walked down for a lunch and dinner on nice days. Off hand I would guess 2 miles drive to the nearest restaurant (I recommend Stewby's) and maybe a 3 mile walk down the beach to the fishing pier. The unit had a very well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and couch. Also, being on the top floor you didn't have to worry about kids running above you which seems to be an endless problem with condos. There were some small details such as multiple burned out light bulbs and a noisy bedroom floor and a broken tine and missing blind in the bedroom etc. but I think that kind of thing happens at all rentals. I would rent again.

Lovely
This was the perfect spot for a quiet and relaxed getaway. The amenities offered kept our visit completely stress-free, even with many areas in town being closed for the holiday. The neighbors were extremely friendly, and the guys at the guard house very helpful. And the beach access was fantastic!

Owners are very quick and responsive with any questions or concerns you may have. You can’t ask for a better location on the beach. Breach service was excellent. Condo was very clean, probably one of the cleanest we’ve stayed jn.

Beach vacation
We enjoyed the property which was only a short walk to the beach. 6th floor location offered great views of the beach and pool. Jack and Jill bathroom setup ok with immediate family. We would stay at this property again.

Perfect location & Condo was wonderful!
We loved our stay here! The condo was perfect-clean, specious, full kitchen with everything we needed to cook our meals for the week. The beds were super comfy. The view was beautiful! We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely stay here again. The location was perfect!! Away from the crazy busy areas, but close enough we could drive to the Harbor in 10 minutes for excursions etc. The beach at the condo is absolutely perfect. My husband and I loved it for us but also our 3 kiddos. This was by far the prettiest beach we have visited in Florida. We spent hours at the beach alone. The pool was perfect temp and fun to go to at nighttime! Everyone we ran into was super friendly in this area also. Check in was super easy also!
