The Pink House, as it's known here in Oak Bluffs, does stand out a tad, even in this neighborhood, what with its magenta and raspberry paint job, its perfectly color-coordinated begonias, its ornate filigree dripping down the eaves.

But it doesn't stand out that much.

This, after all, is the land of gingerbread, of storybook decorative details on houses so fanciful you'd think you were looking at dollhouses, It's the land of teeny-tiny rainbow-colored Victorian cottages with high-peaked roofs, dainty verandas, and themed embellishments on the balconies, turrets, cornices, and gables, a lot of which are arguably over the top.
