Kelly Plantation

Kelly Plantation is a gated golf community on the north side of Highway 98 in Destin, running back toward Choctawhatchee Bay. It is one of the established addresses for buyers who want a full-time Destin home with space, mature landscaping and a guard at the gate rather than a rental-driven beach block.

Homes are largely substantial single-family residences on generous lots, many backing the golf course or the bay, with a range of ages as the community has built out in phases over the years. Amenities centre on the Kelly Plantation Golf Club, along with community facilities and bay access.

The neighborhood suits families and retirees who want quiet streets and room to spread out while staying five minutes from the beach, the schools, the hospital and the shopping on 98. Turnover is moderate, and well-presented homes here tend to draw serious interest quickly.
