Very nice but the colors are reversed. Shouldn't the stone corners and trim pieces be darker that the siding? The porch detail, posts and lattice would be better dark not white.

Try a nice gray for the stucco and then the same but darker for the trim. Gray is nice with the red roof. Is the house half under cloud cover? Hard to tell what the roof color is but could be my stupid screen.

Plant more shrubs under the horizontal line as done on the right side.

I'd paint the stucco a warmer color, probably a warm cream to go with the roof. I'd make a path to the stairs from the driveway. I'd put a large, beautiful tree in the front yard. I think Papayas are lovely and tropical-looking. Place to the tree to either give you some privacy/shade in your windows or to not obstuct the view, depending on what you need/prefer.

Does the home have a handicapped accessible entrance? Those stairs look daunting.

Wow, thank you for all the input and great ideas! The images are fantastic!! So helpful in me trying to explain the the husband how some landscaping and curb appeal will go a LONG way in the appearance of this house. The roof color is sort of a dark copper color almost brown. About the stairs this home is located near the coast and is raised for flood purposes. The first living floor in this house is about 7 feet from the ground. Its very typical when you live this close to the water. In our location we have to be a minimum of 17feet above sea level. This house doesn't have handicap accessibility. There are homes that have elevators and that may be a possibility for this house, cost is a factor of course and not something we will take on with this project. Those of you that posted visual responses may I ask what software do you use? I love them! Thank you!!

A lot of houses have stairs to the front door...for many reasons. We do at our house. But I think the idea was to rebuild them at a gentler angle with broader treads. Or maybe a nice ADA ramp for wheeling stuff. We have considered a ramp. Just a concept here but better than an elevator:

This style of house was built by the thousands in Florida in the 60s and 70’s, often referred to as Bermuda Style. Usually painted a pastel color, always had shutters, and the quoining on the walls would have been white. Your columns look a little bit undersized to me, and a slightly wider staircase might be nice, but I think once you’ve landscaped you won’t really notice.
They are so pretty when painted a cheerful color, and look wonderful with a colorful garden much like it seems you want.
If you are far enough south, Hibiscus is a fantastic choice. It blooms all year, comes as a bush which you can even grow as a hedge, or as a Standard, for a more formal look. There are an almost unlimited variety of flower shapes, sizes and colors.
Whatever you do, don’t get talked into Oleander, beautiful but toxic.
Your house is going to look wonderful when you paint and get the landscaping in.

Yes, 0leander is toxic, but you have to eat it or inhale the smoke from it first. It is grown without fuss throughout Southern Europe, and much of the rest of the world, being colourful, evergreen, and drought, salt and pest resistant. You'll even find it being grown around outdoor cafés and nobody is dropping dead over their Cappuccino.

Well, small children put all sorts of things into their mouths….

Oleander poisoning is extremely rare and anyway, small children should not be unsupervised outside. Statistically they are far more likely to come to harm from poisons found inside their homes than in the garden. A plethora of beautiful named cultivars prove that Oleander is considered a highly valuable garden subject in much of the world.
