Property Description

Perched on the top floor of El Matador, one of the Emerald Coast's most established beachfront addresses, this beautifully appointed studio retreat offers a rare combination of turnkey comfort and lasting investment value. Thoughtfully designed for up to four guests, the residence is equally suited to personal use or income-generating rental. Inside, 11-foot ceilings and an accent wall lend an air of openness rarely found at this scale. The bright, open layout flows seamlessly from the well-equipped kitchen outfitted with new stainless steel appliances, refaced cabinetry, granite countertops, and a handsome tile backsplash - through a generous living area to sliding glass doors that open onto a covered balcony. The newer ceramic tile flooring with quality epoxy grout speaks to the care and precision with which this home has been maintained. Recent improvements include a new water heater (2022) and a replacement HVAC system under warranty through 2028. The private balcony frames sweeping water view sunsets over the Intracoastal Waterway and the gentle passage of boats along the water is a setting that quietly defines the coastal lifestyle at its finest. El Matador occupies 11 manicured acres directly bordering the protected lands of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, a designation that ensures the pristine natural backdrop will remain undisturbed for generations to come. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, this residence requires nothing of its new owner but to arrive and enjoy. Conveniently situated minutes from Fort Walton Beach and Destin, and well within a day's drive of Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, and New Orleans, the Emerald Coast continues to draw a devoted following of vacation homeowners and discerning repeat visitors, making this an exceptional opportunity in one of the Southeast's most sought-after coastal markets. Furnishings may vary slightly from photos, as this is an active vacation rental property.
