This past weekend, I had the pleasure of riding on my friend’s boat off the coast of Massachusetts. The weather was perfect, the sky was cloudless, and the scenery was simply breathtaking! I have truly appreciated these outdoor moments since I have moved into the bustling city, where the pace is quick and the number of people walking the streets never seems to end. There’s something about spending a sunny afternoon on the open water that makes life seem limitless.

Before I start to get carried away about my sea adventure, I will steer the rudder in the direction that this post should be going. After a very bumpy (and fun) ride on the boat, we dropped the anchor in Kettle Cove overlooking Singing Beach while we enjoyed some lunch. Just as in any ocean-view location, there were amazing houses lining the rocky coastline that were worth a ridiculous amount of money. Think of the highest number in your head and then tack on some extra zeros to the end of it. While this was all very beautiful and amazing to see, I couldn’t get over the fact that one “house” sat on its own cliff, right in the middle of Kettle Cove. We didn’t move our boat around the entire piece of land to see if cars could actually drive onto this island-like oasis, but I was left perplexed as to how one could live on their very own rock. I was just waiting to find a helicopter landing pad next to their perfectly-manicured lawn.

While this incredible “house” left me wide-eyed, the houses I found on Web Urbanist left me awestruck. The unique architecture and original designs of these gigantic structures could come right out of a science fiction novel!
