If you mean the red house, I think it stood out primarily because it is red, and looks more like a normal non-Florida community house, than it does a dwelling that might belong in what was once a trailer park and still contains manufactured homes.

If that's the house you mean, I absolutely love that house. Yes it stands out but it's magnificent and is a perfect landmark to explain to people when to turn to get to my house!
