Are you looking into buying a rental property in Destin? Or maybe you’re a current Destin resident looking to update your property with ideas you’ve been pinning on Pinterest.
For those looking at property around the area, Destin is a unique fit for those wanting to be in the heart of the emerald coast. You’re 20 minutes away from Eglin Air Force Base, 40 miles west puts you in Pensacola, and 40 miles east brings you to Panama City.
Destin also uniquely combines a vacation vibe on the main streets with a homey residential feel in neighborhoods right off HWY 98. Check out what Ocean Reef Real Estate Sales has to say about Destin:
“Destin condos and townhomes are still affordable for those who want a simpler lifestyle, without the time and changing expenses of building and property maintenance. And, for the truly luxury-minded, Destin waterfront homes bring the pleasures of the Emerald Coast to your doorstep. Vacation? You won’t even have to leave home to live the lifestyle others have to travel for.” – Ocean Reef Real Estate Sales, 2020
With residents and vacationers in mind, we picked some colors specifically for Destin that will spruce up a bold beach house or modernize a contemporary house in the neighborhood. We’ve painted the houses pictured and we’ve added Pinterest sharing functionality so you can save these ideas.
Beach Houses Colors in Destin Harbor and off Gulf Shore Drive
We chose these colors from color matching our own projects and other houses we’ve seen around this area.
Houses on the beachside of Destin are characterized by their medium vibrant beach tones. The colors are more pronounced than soft palette colors without being overly bold.
If your HOA permits the color choice, a color within this scheme could be a unique way to not only update a rental property with fresh paint, but attract vacationers with the purple cow on the block.
Protip: Check out this free online tool that will generate a custom title for your vacation rental! Many vacation rentals look similar, so creating a brand with a custom house color and optimizing your listing will help you differentiate yourself from other units.
Country Club Estate Colors in Indian Bayou and Kelly Plantation
Indian Bayou Country Club
Most houses in the Indian Bayou Country Club area feature unpainted brick. However, you can update the details while maintaining the timeless look of exposed brick by repainting trim, molding, garage doors, and exterior doors.
Destin House Trim Update by CertaPro Northwest Florida
When updating trim colors, you have the choice of accenting with a light or dark color to be able to stand out or blend with your personality.
The 2020 Color of the year, Naval, is the most trendy dark accent color and its official matching colors offer a complementary lighter option.
Kelly Plantation
The charisma of houses in Kelly Plantation are pastel and offwhite stucco style houses that combine architectural influences of a country club with cues that reflect the beach town it is in.
Unlike the beach homes near Destin Harbor, Kelly Plantation homes replace modest vibrancy for soft clean tones.
Some of the older homes in the 900 acre community are being modernized with lighter and offwhite shades for a more timeless look.
Here are a few offwhite and soft color palette tones we think would be a great fit for a spruce up on a Kelly Plantation House:
