Coastal Source, the industry-leading manufacturer of high-performance outdoor audio and lighting solutions designed to Defy the Elements™, has thus far earned eight awards in 2025 for outstanding design and lifestyle outdoor living projects, as well as new product introductions across both lighting and audio categories.

From breathtaking residential installations to breakthrough product launches, these honors reinforce our mission to deliver exceptional outdoor experiences.”

 In terms of award-winning homes featuring Coastal Source outdoor audio and lighting, the Gulf Front Estate in the Florida Keys won both the HGTV Designer of the Year Award in the Outdoor Oasis Category and the Luxury Pools and Outdoor Living Magazine Pinnacle Award. Seamlessly blending resort-style amenities with the tranquility of a tropical paradise, the home features a lazy river, swim-up bar, spa, multiple pools, putting green, fire pit, and top-of-the-line Coastal Source audio and lighting.

Additionally, the Lighthouse Pointe and Harbor Palms estates, both located in Marathon, FL also won the Luxury Pools and Outdoor Living Magazine Oasis Award and the Pinnacle Award, respectively.

The new Ovation™ in-ceiling outdoor speaker that debuted at CEDIA 2025 won both the Residential Tech Today Magazine CEDIA Innovation Award and CE Pro Magazine BEST Award at the show.
