Needs Work

Roaches from start to finish during a six day stay. Condo needs a lot of maintenance. Appliances broken. Balcony door won’t close. Master shower plumbing clogged. Management company Alecia Hollis nonresponsive.

Great community.

Loved the setting. Good view of architecture and pool with gulf backdrop. Cozy veranda for coffee...relaxing. One issue was the disturbingly loud noise of all the A/C condensers. Resounded loudly in the courtyard. But, great stay, otherwise!

Dirty Condo / Great Location

Very turned off on the cleanliness of the condo beyond countertops and floors. Within 30 minutes of arriving we noticed a quarter inch of dust on the ceiling fan blades and once you see something like that, we naturally started keeping an eye out. Condo had areas of drywall repair without paint, large thick markings on the walls in the kitchen area, caked grease and dirt on the white ceiling - just repaint the property. Two full mattress bed frames extremely old and wobblily. Afraid to turn in bed and break whatever thread the whole thing was hanging on. Doors need WD-40, extremely loud creaking which was frustrating with a 8 month old baby we didnt want to wake up but needed to check on. Overall, property needs a lot of updating. Kitchen appliances were good and they had what we needed for cooking family scale dinners. The Condo Complex was great and the beach location was great. Very short walk to the boardwalk and condo is the furthest property on the shoreline, so you dont really get people from other condos infringing on your beach carveout. Will not stay at this condo again, but will 100% stay at the Matador again.

Family Vacation 2021

A great location on Ft. Walton with a home like chill vibe on a older property. Condo was old with some updates however wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Then had to go buy items to get it cleaner. Only a broom with no dustpan was provided. No starter items other than toilet paper was provided. The condo needs a deep clean with sanitary procedures there was no smell of Lysol or bleach used in their cleaning between guests. It wasn’t disgusting but disappointing. The beds are a little old and lumpy but we’re fine. Cooking utensils was a plus. Couches were comfy. Needed more areas to hang up towels since a drying rack wasn’t provided. Laundry room has 1 washer and dryer and it’s hot. Lobby area was hot and outdated. However the property is awesome from the pools to the workout room and the beach was perfect. Wouldn’t stay at this condo again but maybe another in the complex.

Family fun!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. It was a great spot and the water and beach were beautiful. The condo was nice and had everything we needed. Very family oriented. I do wish there was a washer and dryer in the condo but there was on on each floor so that made it more convenient. It was perfect for what we needed. We will definitely be back! lol

Great place for some R&R

This condo was at a great location. Second floor end of the building so no one to our right. Loved that it was at the end of the island so also no other condos to the west low crowds on the beach. Plenty of room for a family of 5. Quick and easy access to the beach. It was quite around us easy to relax. Our family had a blast and will be returning!!

Great condo in a beautiful location. Close to everything we could squeeze in for 7 days. Lots of shells and even saw a sea turtle swimming near us. Looking forward to next year.
