Welcome to 909 Santa Rosa Blvd Unit 523 in the sought-after El Matador community on Okaloosa Island. This fully remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo (approx. 1,035 sq ft) offers a fresh, modern coastal feel with porcelain tile throughout, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and smooth ceilings free of popcorn texture. The open layout flows beautifully from the updated kitchen to the living and dining areas, creating a bright, inviting space perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Step onto the private balcony and take in vast, unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa Sound--ideal for watching boats glide by or enjoying morning coffee with the water as your backdrop. All furniture conveys with an acceptable offer, making this a truly turnkey opportunity. The unit also comes with an assigned private storage closet on same floor.
Residents of El Matador enjoy a gated, amenity-rich setting across 11+ landscaped acres, including two pools (one heated), tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, sauna and hot tub, grilling areas, and direct access to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf. With 24-hour security and a short stroll to the beach, this ready-to-enjoy unit works beautifully as a personal retreat or short term rental.
Just minutes from dining, shopping, and entertainment in Fort Walton Beach and Destin, Unit 523 delivers the best of Emerald Coast living.
