Little disappointing unit needs updating

Went on honeymoon. Unit is older and needs updating. No beach service. Water pressure is horrible. Furniture wasn’t comfortable or updated. Never could get use of washer/ dryer or jacuzzi. Always door locked. Not happy to start a honeymoon. Parking was not good either. We only had one car but had to park out back. There was no coupon books for discounts. I am not happy. View was the best of the experience.

Awesome view, condo & location!

The condo looks exactly like the photos. Kitchen is high end with nice cookware. & lots of cupboards! We thought the bed was very comfortable - On the softer, but comfy. The second bedroom bath is where we primarily showered only because it was a small step up, whereas the master bath had tub!shower with sliding doors. The master bath for toilet anyone tub/shower was cramped. The master bath sink & vanity area was very roomy. Lots of closet storage! Sliding patio doors off master to long balcony with sliding doors off of i Bing room. This unit being on the top & corner was a water/beach lover's dream. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets. We spent mornings on the balcony, went to the beach in the afternoon (short walk to short boardwalk on our end!) and had perfect weather. We visited in early March. Probably due to Covid, not many people were on the beach, which...was just fine with us! Then again, it is a gated community and at the end of the beach strip of Ft. Walton Beach. The pool was beautiful, but we never saw anyone get in it. Several laid out in lawn chairs. Elevator to 6th floor always easy to obtain. Luggage trolleys on ground floor made it so convenient to bring everything up We would recommend El Matador and this unit. Restaurants are close and Destin is "down the strip".
