The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms clean. A short walk to the beach and pool. We had a small issue with the lock on the door, but maintenance was there in less than 20 minutes and fixed the issue. The laundry room was close by and very clean. We hope to return in the near future.

Pleasant stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: The condo was nice. There are some things that can be updated. The front door had a gap when locked. We had to push close to not have such a big gap but still some gap after pushing shut. The sliding glass door is old and lock kept falling off. Bed was very very firm but not for us. Condo was in a good location for the walk to the beach and parking lot. Dead roaches on floor in second bedroom but that is expected since unit is on ground floor. Condo was clean other than that. I feel like if you’re paying a lot of money for a unit it should be updated to some point.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jan 2024
We sure appreciate your review James, but, i will contact the owner and let her know about the door, and actually we fixed it, but, we shall bring it to her attention, when she comes here. The location is definitely perfect and we will be looking forward to see you again.

Responsive management but unable to leave positive review.

Unfortunately, I am unable to leave a more positive review.I booked this rental for 6 people after confirming with management in advance that the unit included a sofa bed and could comfortably sleep 6. However, upon arrival, I discovered that the unit only sleeps 5. The first bedroom has a king bed, and the second bedroom has a full bed and a twin. The sofa in the living room is not a pull-out, despite being told otherwise. I contacted management immediately, and while they did respond and brought an inflatable sofa bed the next day, this was not the setup I was led to expect.Additionally, the air conditioning was not working upon arrival. Management was responsive and had someone come out the next day in the late afternoon to fix it.While I appreciate that management was reachable and did respond to concerns, the inaccuracies in the listing and the delayed resolution of the issues affected our stay. For these reasons, I’m unable to give a more favorable review.

October Getaway to FWB

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Another super getaway to the coast and stay at the El Mat Unit 410. We waited until late to decide on this trip and were happy to see that this unit was available as we have stayed here for numerous years and like the location.The drive down was quite soggy with the remnants of Hurricane Delta, but things cleared when we reached FWB and there was a tremendous sunset that so many of us got to enjoy... along with a nice beach wedding!This unit is well-kept and very clean, but is showing its age... especially in the decorating scheme and some fixtures. The owner would be wise to consider some updates, but again, that would all be cosmetic as the 'bones' are great and the El Matador is well managed and the facility is maintained nicely.I appreciate the assistance of Sher and the crew at Alicia Hollis, Realtor. I required their additional assistance with delivery of a package while we were on vacation and their professionalism was really appreciated!Great week at the beach!
