Second time staying. My family loves it here.

We had a great few days at this air bnb. The accommodations were as described and we even had access to beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach and pool were an easy 2 min walk from the back patio. Would stay here again!

Wonderful place. Very relaxing.

El Matador is a wonderful location. The complex could use some renovations, but it makes up for it in location and character. It’s a laid back location. Fewer people and less stress. We really enjoyed it. The room was well maintained and nice. We had a wonderful vacation and will try to rent the same room again.

My family and I loved our stay here, we walked to the beach in 3 mins from our condo literally across a grassy field past a beachside pool and onto the sand. It was lovely and spacious enough for 2 adults and 4 children comfortably. Thank you for having us!

So wish it was my forever

always wanted to stay at El Matador. We needed easy access for wheelchair and this place on first floor was perfect. I have stayed in fancy places and this was simplier but with added frills like the mattresses were the top of the line. complete with bed bug protector, yep I checked. towels and bedding were immaculate. It was quiet except for the neighbor's wind chimes that I heard at night only and now I want one. This unit had the most convenient location for use. lawn was manicured. parking easy. The host was perfect and quickly responded and checked. sure, I could nit pick some stuff. But no way would I. I love the retro vibe of the structure and location location location. Wish it was my forever home. thanks

Really great for the price and amazing beach access.

The room was super spacious and everything was nice and clean. To get into the hot tub you had to Goto the guard shack to get a key it was kind of a hassle to do. Great for seclusion though. Also needed some more vending machines for drinks and snacks.

This ground floor, corner unit was great! Close walk to pool and beach!
