This unit was excellent and far exceeding the prior one. Easy access to the beach and parking lot. Unit was in good shape and plenty of kitchen space. Only complaint I have is the morning sun blasting you as you sip some coffee on the patio, which isn’t really that big a deal anyway. Will stay again. ##### Bryan G.

Reviewer Comments: Love El Matador complex - have been coming to the area for years. The unit; although nice, needed some minor tending - outside doorwalls were very dirty - had to clean them so we could see out. Doorwall in living room did not have a functioning lock. Mattress in sleeper sofa most definitely needs replacement. Unit for 6 had five dinner forks. Other than these few minor complaints we had a wonderful time and plan on returning next spring.

Reviewer Comments: Very nice complex. Steps to the beach, nice pools. One was heated which was great! Utilized the fitness room often. Property was very well maintained, guards at gate super friendly. Loved the beach chair and kayak rental. Condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Recommend a new coffee pot, the one in unit is extremely slow to brew. Also need metal spatulas for grill. ##### Amy S.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sliding glass windows in the living area and bedroom would not open and became a safety hazard for fear they might fall from frame. Furniture was old and uncomfortable so I rented a recliner. Rented another unit 10 days into the month thus paying double therefore we shall not be returning. Weather was terrible but snowbirds were great.

Reviewer Comments: This was our second trip to El Matador and the first for Unit 413\. We love the property and amenities at El Matador and we LOVED our condo! It has a great open floor plan with everything you need to feel at home. Kitchen was fully stocked so meal preparation was a breeze. Very clean and comfortable. We were planning next year's trip back to Unit 413 on our way home. ##### Nancy S.

Reviewer Comments: Our family has been renting this ground floor unit for years. It is absolutely wonderful. Ypu walk right out of your back door and you are on grass, steps from the pool. The unit is always clean and this year we were surprised with a new couch and lamps. We have 4 small boys and they enjoy everything about El Matador. Definitely recommend this unit! ##### Victoria S. ---
