MTV Welcome To: The Trump House!
30A, where colorful beach houses and laid-back vibes dominate, one home stands out unmistakably. Owned by Marvin Peavy, this house has earned local fame—and a good deal of curiosity—as “The Trump House,” thanks to its bold political imagery and decor celebrating President Donald Trump. Peavy’s house, located in Santa Rosa Beach, is painted in bright red, white, and blue and often sports banners, flags, and artwork dedicated to Trump.
Peavy, a businessman, is well-known for his outspoken political views and takes pride in using his home as a canvas to show his support. The house has become a notable landmark along 30A, generating both local and visitor interest.
Peavy’s home has become a conversation starter and a tourist photo op, adding another layer of character to the eclectic ambiance of 30A. This one-of-a-kind house is not only a point of interest for those familiar with Trump but also for those intrigued by the unexpected surprises that make Florida’s coastal communities so diverse and memorable.
Marvin Peavy first adorned his famous Trump House with bold posters in February 2020, making a strong statement of political support along 30A. Since then, Walton County has imposed a daily fine of $50, citing violations of local ordinances. Peavy, however, views these fines as a challenge to his First Amendment rights and has fought back, arguing that his display is an expression of free speech.
For nearly four years now, Peavy has been battling this case, and the house has become not just a political landmark but also a testament to his determination to uphold his rights. This stand has made the Trump House a flashpoint in the community and a symbol of the broader conversation on individual expression, especially in high-traffic, scenic areas.
Marvin Peavy’s journey with his iconic Trump House began out of sheer determination. Originally, he put up smaller Trump signs, but they were repeatedly taken down or torn apart. In response, Peavy decided to make a bigger statement with large, unmistakable Trump posters covering his home. This bold move has not only made his house a standout on 30A but also attracted support from friends, family, and even Donald and Lara Trump, who have encouraged him to continue fighting.
With many supportive honks from people driving along 30A, Marvin Peavy and his supporters have found a bit of fun amidst the controversy surrounding his Trump House. Each honk from a passing car serves as a reminder of the support he’s received from the local community and travelers alike, turning what could be a tense situation into a spirited show of unity.
A huge thank you goes out to Marvin Peavy and his wife, Paige, for their kindness and hospitality in welcoming us into their home for their iconic banner drop. Being part of this moment was unforgettable, and their warmth truly made it special. Their openness and spirit have brought people together and added a memorable chapter to the 30A community. Thank you, Marvin and Paige, for sharing this experience with us!
