DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to El Matador Resort, on beautiful Okaloosa Island.  The powdery, sugar-white sands found here are unique to this exclusive area, and if you are fortunate enough to vacation here, you'll experience a beach vacation like nowhere else in the US.  The island atmosphere of Okaloosa eliminates the crowded found in nearby Destin, while putting you within minutes of Destin Harbor and all of the attractions of the Emerald Coast.



El Matador Resort, unit 315 is the perfect vacation spot for the beach and pool.  This unit, located in building 3, is close to the ocean and pool, with  views of the beach and pool area.



The living and dining area, which adjoin the private balcony, have an open floor space, offering room for your family to relax.  The living room has a flat screen tv with a BluRay player.  The master bedroom also has a flat screen tv.



The bedrooms, with updated tvs and new bedding, offer the most comfort available in the El Matador Resort.  The bathroom has a shower and upscale appointments.  (shower, no tub).



We provide bed linens, blankets, bath towels, etc.  Please bring your own beach towels.  There are communal Washers and Dryers near the elevator lobby on each floor.



El Matador Resort is a gated resort, with a 24 hour security check point.  Spacious lawns and walking paths provide a peaceful getaway within the resort.  2 large pools offer fun for everyone.  A large exercise gym and his/her spas are also free to everyone staying in the resort.  There are basketball and tennis courts available to everyone, and a large reception hall may be reserved in advance for parties or meetings.



About the area:  Okaloosa Island is part of a 30 mile stretch of continuous natural sand barrier.  The ocean here is typically as clear as any water can be, with an emerald green color unique to this small area.  The sands are pure white and powdery, like sugar, and the beaches are kept immaculately clean and safe by wonderful Okaloosa County authorities.  There is plenty of fun right here on the island, from putt putt golf, to outdoor grills to fine dining and night life.  We have a fishing pier just a mile away, which is also the home of the original Gulfarium Dolphin Exhibit.  Take the kids to the Gulfarium to see dolphins perform, as well as their friends the walrus, sea lions, and penguins.  They'll love it.



Okaloosa Island is located within Fort Walton Beach and near world famous Destin.  Destin, a beautiful 10 minute drive to the East, where she will meet you with  a picturesque view of the Destin Harbor at Harbor Walk Village.  Destin is home to the largest private Gulf Fishing Fleet and busiest charter deep sea fishing fleet in the Southeast.  If you are interested in good seafood, then just pick one of Destin's many dockside grills for a taste of the day's fresh catch.  



The more adventurous may enjoy a jet ski dolphin tour, or a parasailing adventure.  You may also find bungee jumping, go karting, golf, putt putt golf, water theme parks, outlet shopping and much more.  Bring your family to our beautiful coastline, and take home memories of a lifetime.  



This unit is professionally managed, which ensures that you will receive friendly, professional service from reservation to departure.  Your vacation accommodations will be clean and functional.  We are local and provide same day assistance, and If you need anything during your stay, you can be assured that our courteous staff will be happy to assist you in any way.

Great place to stay!    Oct 08, 2020

review star


We had so much fun staying here. The space is very large. Everything was clean, but the floors could have definitely been better. The only downfall was not having a washer and dryer in the unit, but there is a laundry room directly across from the entrance of the room. We loved that this was on the ground and our kids were able to play in the grass. It’s so close to the beach as well. We’ll definitely be back.

Just returned from vacation 6/27/20 - 7/4/20 and had an amazing time! Sunset Resort was very helpful during booking and answered all of our questions promptly. Great service! Check in at front desk is not needed, you go straight to the condo. Very clean/fully stocked unit #315, quick & easy access to the pool/beach, beach chairs & umbrella reserved every day, great location close to restaurants/attractions, and the beach was absolutely beautiful!! This is nice place to relax, and it’s not overly crowded either. My husband and I hope to be back soon!

Parking was easy. Access to the beach, the pool-everything was right outside the back door. It was perfect for my solo trip and the beach was gorgeous! I would definitely stay again.
