Unit 122 Needs updating!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit 122 needs updating. The carpet need to be taken up and removed and replaced with Tile. The master bedroom mattress has a huge dip in the middle and need to be replaced .The master bedroom toilet would not flush completely. I had to call to report the issue we had to set up a date and time for a plumber to come out. He wasn’t able to fix because they would have to turn the water off of the whole building. This plumber appointment altered my plans for that. There was black spots on the door from the shower area. Over all the unit 122 I would give 2 out of 3. The refrigerator was great and cold. This condo is at the end of the strip.

wonderful get-a-way for the family!

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: My family stayed for multiple weeks. We were not in a building right next to the beach, but it wasn't much of a walk at all, just across the parking lot. Family friendly place. Not a crowded beach. Very nice employees working the entrances when you got there. When I had a question before arriving the people answering the phones at Alicia Hollis were polite and helpful. Love to come back!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I have stayed at El Matador over 15 years, we found this unit needs repairs and really needs an update. We have stayed on 1st floors and they were in better condition. It was disappointing to have to call for third TV in 2nd bedroom, but a TV was installed on the second day.I have always RECOMMENED other families but will not recommend that UNIT 122

A few tips: stop at reality for keys and meal plan around a skillet

Excellent location and beautiful views! This property had a couple things that we expected and didn’t have. A vacuum or dustpan (broom but no dust pan), a set of pots and pans, and silverware. We didn’t check the cabinets before we made our first grocery run and became inventive with the one skillet and the one fork. We also weren’t aware that the check-in location was a different “office” than the property “office.” There were a few things that I would have cleaned but overall this is a great property! The views and location made up for the MINOR inconveniences of key pickup and unstocked kitchen.
