A ship brought to land. After fifty years of service on the Great Lakes this vessel built by Henry Ford became "The Ship Residence", a private home on South Bass Island (as always click on images for more information).
A coastal home that reflects the owners seafaring career as captain of many vessels with panoramic views over Tasman Bay in New Zealand.
Do you see this coastal home? Camouflaged by boulders this house is a low-lying structure, tucked into a cove off the coast of Corsica, France.
A house on a rock, a very unique island home I think, appropriately named “Clingstone”, located in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay.
A beachside home called new wave house (location unknown).
An adorable very small pink house in Santa Rosa Beach, FL.
The sea shell house in Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun, Mexico (check out the inside here).
Famed hurricane resistant Dome Home in Pensacola Beach, Florida, featured on HGTV's Xtreme Buildings in 2007.
And a condo on "The World", a private residential community on a seafaring ship with 165-units, this one being the largest with five bedrooms, two kitchens and a 150-square-foot veranda.

Wow Maya,those are some amazing homes. I don't think they are odd but extremely creative choices to make a home. The house in Cancun is probably my favorite.
Deanna :D
Wow! Those sure are unique!
What they do have is absolutely amazing views!!
Location, location, location :)
I love the ship residence and my favorite is the tiny pink cottage.
Hi Maya-
I'll take the lil pink house in Santa Rosa anytime :)

I've seen that house - or one very similar to it - in Corsica! It's totally unique. Never seen anything like it before or since!
Loving the little pink house! Such unique properties all!
Thank you for this! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like house on a rock. Unless there's a storm, then it's to the main land I go.
i am not sure i could live in the snail-inspired one (i am not very ..."friend" with snails) but what a great selection. my very favorite is the 4th :)
i so love the shell house! so inspiring and full of humour...
great post !
I am more of a fan of traditional architecture, but these places are on the beach, so that redeems them a bit. :)
love the hidden in the boulders one...
I thought my thinking was unique until I started reading the comments...I love the pink house and the ship condo...ahhh the life...we can dream!
I'm a sucker for pink, so my favourite is the little pink house. Great post. Love the houses.
Love these! I actually got to see the seashell house in Isla Mujeres in person - it was amazing. :)
I saw the Pensacola houses about 4 years ago and they were the only stuctures standing! They look like spaceships but if that's what it takes... I love the Cancun house, the lines are beautiful!
I would want to live in the Ship on Land one. But, really, I'd take any one of them, since I love the unusual! Thanks for the nice pics!
