A Legacy of Island Hospitality

El Matador has long stood as a landmark of Mediterranean-style elegance on the Emerald Coast. Located at the very end of Santa Rosa Boulevard, our resort offers a level of privacy and space that is rare in Fort Walton Beach. Spanning 12 lushly landscaped acres, El Matador provides a gated sanctuary where the sugar-white sands of the Gulf meet the tranquil beauty of a nature preserve.

At El Matador Rentals, we take pride in managing a select portfolio of units within this historic complex. Unlike owner-managed rentals, our units adhere to a strict standard of maintenance, cleanliness, and guest service, ensuring that your vacation is seamless from check-in to sunset.
