Jutting out of the water, these battered but beautiful domes make a powerful impression. And their backstory is interesting, too.
The six white, interconnected structures, perched on stilts over the water, were originally built as a vacation home in 1982.
Back then, they were actually standing on a small island.
But over the years, erosion washed away the sand, leaving the home stranded in the middle of the water.
Although it was built to be weather-resistant, the owners still had to leave the home in the early 1990s due to hurricane damage.
The domes have stood empty ever since, weathering the sometimes tumultuous coastal seasons, and creating a striking portrait for visitors.
Gliding past the property by boat, you’ll feel like you’re visiting another world.
Along the way, you’ll pass through the famed Ten Thousand Islands region and get even more opportunities for wildlife viewing.
For an especially delightful day, pair your dome house tour with one of the dolphin-watching ones.
