Ron & Pattie, we would like to thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with
us on May 25, 2009 - May 30, 2009. It was nicely furnished,clean and very
spacious. We would love to move right in. There is no other beach like this
one. The water is crystal blue and the temperature is always good for
swimming. To be able to walk for miles and see nothing but ocean and sand
is awesome! We took long walks everyday and saw plenty of aquatic life,
manta rays, sea turtles, and lots of dolphins. We also found some big shells.
One morning we were lucky enough to have a very playful dolphin visit. He
was out trying to steal the fisherman's bait and got little upset with them so
he started smacking his tail on the water then later that morning he was
jumping straight up in the air out of the water. He put on quite a show.
Thank you again for our wonderful vacation at your condo. We will visit
again.

My parents and I had a nice very relaxing week at your condo. The beach is GORGEOUS, the condo is really nice and the shopping in Destin is outta this world. The thing we all commented on is how comfortable the beds were!!!
While you are there, it is worth the $20 to visit the Gulfarium (a mini sea world) and watch the dolphins, seals and sea lion steal the show!
Thanks for the fun week in Paradise! |

| My husband and two children had such a wonderful time staying in your condo. Pattie is such a wonderful, honest lady to deal with. I could not have asked for a better experience! This place is so neat, clean and oh so comfortable. I loved how it was decorated, especially the lime green sofa. My husband and 7 year old son expecially LOVED the recliners! The heated pool was great and the beach was perfect. I can't wait to come back for a much longer stay. If anyone is looking for the "perfect" vacation, this is it. Thanks to Pattie! |

| Patti and Ron - We certainly enjoyed our stay at your condo in Ft. Walton Beach April 13-18. The condo was exceptionally clean,everyone we met was very nice, and the beds were SUPER! Rod and I loved the undeveloped beach, and spent many hours walking it and collecting shells. When we retire we hope to return for a winter month. |

Patti and Ron,
Linda and I had a marvelous January through March 2009 in El Matador #527. The unit was in beautiful condition when we checked in. The location was great. Out of the way but easy access to everything. The gated complex made us feel very secure and we had no concerns at all about visiting friends out of town. We are retired military so we spent most of our time playing golf at the Air Force bases in the area. We did enjoy sitting in the sun by the pool and access to the beautiful white sand beach. We also logged many miles walking around the neighborhood and greeting other walkers and residents. We had relatives and friends visit for several days during our stay. They were impressed with the unit, the complex and the location. We are taking our vacation in another part of the country next year but will certainly plan on another stay with you in the future.

Ron & Pattie Weaver,
Thank you for a wonderful week!! We greatly enjoyed our stay. The condo was great and we loved the backpack beach chairs, the pools, the whirlpool, and my personal favorite was the ramp going down to the beach. It made it much easier to push our beach caddy:)
We plan to start saving immediately for a return visit. |

We wanted to thank you for our wonderful vacation (May 5-10). We had a great time and enjoyed the convenience of the pool (my 3yr old daughter and 1yr old son loved)and use of all the chairs, beach toys, kitchen items, etc. Your condo was clean and the decor was nice!

Pattie,
Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful condo for us to spend our summer vacation. It had absolutely everything that we could ever need. It was great to have the beach chairs and beach toys for the girls, one less thing for us to bring from Atlanta.
The weather was perfect everyday. We enjoyed our days at the beach and the pool. The beach and the pool were rarely crowded and always clean.
We couldn't have asked for anything more!
Thank you again for providing our home away from home for the week.
Sincerely,
The Ficarro Family |

Your condo was gorgeous! Very spacious, extremely clean, very well equipped with everything you could think of (even beach chairs and boogie boards for wave riding!), and the decor was positively beautiful. Our family of 5 had PLENTY of room and felt at home. The condo grounds and beach area are VERY quiet, clean and well kept. A perfect vacation to relax!

Pattie,
We had a great time at your condo. It was very clean and conveniently
located. It only rained one day and it was early in the morning. The
undeveloped beach was beautiful. The condo was well equipped and all we
needed was food and clothes. Thanks for letting us stay. The directions you
gave us to get there were outstanding. If you ever have trouble finding
someone to stay there let me know.
Thanks.

| Very comfortable condo - even the sofa bed. Lots of extra's in the kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Clean and well maintained right down to the towels! The layout of the condo and the arrangement of the furniture allowed two families to room together for 6 nights without feeling crowded! Great to have a pool right downstairs with the spa and workout room. Very quite location without traffic noise and easy to get to. We absolutely loved the uncrowded, beautiful beach. Would love to return!!! |

El Matador is nicely landscaped with grassed lawns, nice pools, and located on the beach side of the road. Will we be back again? You bet, we will! |

| Spic and span, cozy yet roomy condo. Just exactly what we expected from the description and pictures. Pattie and Ron were delightful to rent from, making it a wonderful weekend for us. So nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Destin, yet close enough to enjoy all it has to offer. Thanks a bunch!! |

| Our visit to Pattie and Ron's lovely condo was just what the doctor ordered. We planned this trip as a get away to spend time with Chris' Dad and his wife Karen because they live in Texas and we don't see them often. Upon arrival we were so pleased with the condo it was absolutely immaculate. Pattie has made sure that you have everything you could possibly need to feel like you're right at home. We will definitely love to use this wonderful condo again. Thanks for a great vacation!! |

| Pattie, my family immediately felt comfortable in your condo; it was like home away from home. Two pools to choose from at El Matador along with the beautiful snow white beach made this extra special. Besides the condo being so wonderful and the beautiful area; Pattie makes planning vacation an easy task. Thank you, we look forward to next year. |

Dear Pattie,
Everything went smoothly. We were able to go snorkeling in Destin around
the jetty and saw serveral fish. Kelsey even found a large intact sand dollar.
At the beach we found lots of assorted shells and the privacy to the west was
perfect. The weather was great, only rained for a short time the first day. Surf
warnings were up the entire time, but we were able to wade out on low tides
and enjoy the water. The girls enjoyed swimming at the pool better anyway,
no sharks to worry about. This was a very memorable vacation. Thankyou.

The condo was great! We had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking
down the beach on the Air Force Base as nobody would walk pass the condos.
The kids really enjoyed see all the stuff that washed up and was left at low
tide. Ate at Louisiana Lagniappe in Destin. It was super. Some friends had
told us about it. Definetely worth the money. Everything went great we really
appreciate the condo. Thanks So Much!!!
