Beautiful El Matador Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Absent our initial interaction with Alicia Hollis Rentals, we had a perfect vacation at the beautiful El Matador. Our rental was clean, comfortable,relaxing and well stocked with everything needed. Pictures and description were accurate, however, it would have been helpful had the description stated the unit was on the 6th floor. When arriving on Sunday, our unit's keys were not available at Alicia Hollis' Office lock box. After waiting about an hour, we were forced to contact the emergency "on call" representative who came and found the keys still locked in the Office. There were others in the same predicament. Office staff did not contact us to offer an explanation or apology for our inconvenience.

Nicest Florida trip yet!

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: The condo was excellent, plenty of room, amazing view, full kitchen, perfect distance from beach! We were also very close to Eglin Airforce base, we were able to see a few really awesome aircraft throughout the day from the balcony, but if you are inside the condo you can rarely hear the planes at all. The best part is that you are close to everything, but far enough away to avoid crowds!

Great time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just what we needed for a month. Condo could have been a bit more updated but bathroom tub very nice. Most everything we needed was in condo. During heavy rain windows leaked a bit. Bedroom smelled a bit musty probably cause of leaks and carpet in bedroom. Great view and we enjoyed and had a great time!

Perfect location but property needs some TLC

We love the El Matador and this was the first time at this property. The view of the pool and beach are amazing and this condo is right next to the laundry room for convenience! I will say we were disappointed in the condition of the condo. The floors and carpet were so dirty we had to wear shoes the entire time or our feet were black. The ceiling fan in the living room was missing a blade and did not work. The air conditioning in the bedroom was not great so sleeping at night was a little stuffy. Overall I think the condo has a lot of potential but could use a little attention.
