This place is positioned away from the main building but close enough for a short walk to a beautiful, secluded beach. Dunes from an undeveloped area are adjacent to this property which makes it unique and tranquil. The tennis court and gym are right by this building. My daughter engages in these activities so she was happy about that. There is a heated pool, sauna, basketball court, grill and whirlpool steps away from the building as well. Its a very cute, cozy dwelling that we'll visit again.

Mermaid Condo

Absolutely stunning efficiency. In fact, I plan to use some of the interior design elements in my home. The owners are very nice and easy to reach out to. I plan to stay here again soon.

Breathtaking View & Comfy Condo

The condo was immaculate and had everything we needed for a short get away! Communication with the owner was great and he answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The view of the gulf was amazing! Spent so much time at the beautiful beach that was just steps away. Would absolutely stay at this location again!

Family time is the best time!

Thank you for sharing your lil condo with me during my visit with my mom! While I didn’t use any appliances the kitchen was well stocked for anyone who enjoys cooking! The gorgeous white quartz beach is just a few steps away! This is a cute little place to just get away!

Perfect!

The Mermaid Hideaway is very clean and comfortable! It had everything we needed and more. We slept very well on the bed as well as the sofa bed. The El Matador is very nice and immaculately maintained. It was my second stay at El Matador but first time in this unit. I really loved its location. It is in the smaller building on the 2nd floor. It was very convenient to a pool and a very short walk to the beach. While we brought our own beach chairs, it was nice to see that the owners had made their chairs and umbrella available. Great communication from owners - would love to stay here again!

Perfect little beach studio

I stayed here with my daughter and partner. The studio’s location was wonderful- just a short walk to a beautiful beach. Two great pools on the property and one just steps away. Plenty of restaurants close by. The condo was adorable! All necessary amenities were in place and great personal touches. The pull out couch was comfortable and there were beach chairs and an umbrella available for use. The patio has a high top table and chairs and a couple rattan sitting chairs- perfect for coffee in the morning. I would definitely book again.

Family Vacation

The unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The building itself was also very nice, we had only a few neighbors, who were respectful of quiet times. The building had a nice pool and we were located right next to the tennis/pickleball court, so there was always something to do. Even though this particular building isn't right on the beach, the walk was short. The location was amazing, the beach wasn't super crowded like they are in Destin. We didn't have any restaurants within walking distance, but there were several just down the road. The owner's communication was excellent and very informative. Overall, it was our favorite family trip. Thank you for a great stay! (Family of 3- with teenager)

Fall Break with the kiddos

I booked this property last minute after canceling a trip to Myrtle Beach due to Hurricane Ian. The owner answered all of my questions promptly and even checked in with us during our stay. The space was cozy and decorated nicely, with everything you could need for cooking and lounging around. Our building housed the heated pool, which was a hit with my younger kiddo. The area was safe enough to allow my teens to walk down to the beach on their own. We really liked that their is an Air Force Base nearby. The beach was private and beautiful. We are counting down the days until we can return. Thanks for a great time!

Okaloosa Island Beach Trip

This was a great place to stay! The property sits at the end of a dead end street, which made it feel more private and cut down on traffic. This made it the perfect choice for having plenty of space on the beach as it was the last property. It was wonderful to have all that space to spread our beach accessories out, walk along the beach, fish, and chase lots of crabs at night without constantly running into other people. The room itself was clean and organized and has a beach view. El Matador has all the amenities one could want, 2 pools, a gym, a hot tub, and wifi. There are also beach chairs and umbrellas available to rent. The property is gated with security and the front gate staff was absolutely awesome! On arrival, check in was the easiest process I've ever had and took probably less than 1 minute in total. This was an excellent place to stay at a great value for the amenities and location. The host of this property was also very helpful, friendly, and informative. We definitely recommend staying here!

Cozy Getaway

My husband and I had a great week! The condo is older, but it was very clean and well maintained inside and outside. The bed was so comfortable. It had plenty of dishes and appliances. The bathroom had extra hooks on both sides of the door which was nice. The shower had great water pressure and the heated pool was just outside which made it nice! The bathroom sink was a little warn, but it didn’t affect its use. The outside balcony had nice, comfortable seating. There are two stools to sit on inside, but they were not very comfortable. The tv was large enough to see from the couch or the bed. This did not affect us, but if you have trouble with stairs, this is on the second floor with no elevator. I tried to think of the things that are important to us and hope you find this helpful. We definitely recommend this little gem!
