Great stay!

Nice and quiet, everything I want in a vacation stay. Condo was great with everything needed. Smart TVs was a very nice touch. Beach had double red flags the whole time, but the pool was nice. Will definitely stay at 444 again.

Perfect Beach Condo!

We had the best stay in our beachfront condo!! The El Matador is an older, but really nice beach condo community. We didn’t use the amenities but they have so many to offer. Staying in Building 4 was also the best because we were the closest to the beach! We loved the location and how there is a 17 mile protected beach on the right side. We had gorgeous views from the condo of the pool and ocean. Then out the front door we could see the ocean, protected dunes, and also the sound and Fort Walton Beach. The condo was so clean and cute! We definitely hope to be back!
