Nice place

It’s nice. Very comfy. Had two coffee makers but neither one worked so bring your coffee pot. It was clean. Blender was great for making frozen drinks. If would be great if the patio chairs were taller so you can have an unobstructed view of the beach over the banister. The patio chairs are too short and so we didn’t sit out on the patio at all.

Unit 369 is one of the best units on site!

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 review is about unit 369 at El Matador. First impressions were fantastic! The furniture had been upgraded from the yellow pics on the web page. The balcony is the tipping part that puts it over the top! We went in May and the sunsets were spectacularly centered from our generously sized balcony! As well as dramatic views of the white sandy beach and pool area. Perfect placement in unit 369! The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything one would ever imagine they needed. We had a delivery service bring us our water, juices, beer, wine and some groceries the evening we checked in so we didn't even have to leave the setting sun to go get heavy items. There is a shopping cart conveniently situated by the elevator so the delivery person doesn't have to lug up heavy items. They thought of everything! A restaurant menu on the fridge made quick deliveries as well. Again, this unit owner thought of everything! A few games were in the unit for the rainy hours.. It was clean and the bed was comfy. Family stayed in another unit and comparing the 2 units was night and day. If we ever have the opportunity to return to paradise, unit 369 will be the only one we'd want! Responsible unit owners and management! 10 out of 10 stars.

Much better than the pictures

We rented this condo as a last resort when our other condo In Pensacola got hurricane damage and canceled on us the day the before we were supposed to arrive. To be honest, I didn’t like the photos of this unit and thought this was going to be an old, dirty place, but at the last minute, we had no alternative. I was pleasantly surprised! The place has been updated with all new furniture and the walls are painted a lighter more airy color. I was also surprised at how much better the view was than the picture showed. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The master bed was a bit too firm for me, but still good for people who like firm beds. The location of this property is perfect for a couple wanting to get away and have a quite trip. We walked just a little bit past the complex and was surrounded by nothing on the beach. It was everything I needed to regroup after a crazy covid year so far. The only downside in the condo was access to a washer and dryer. I’m used to getting places where they are inside the units and I wasn’t expecting to use a laundry room. But other than that, it was really a great place on a very beautiful beach. I will come here again.
