“The
Overlook” is a newly constructed and unique one acre
estate on the North Shore of Vieques Island. Situated on a
promontory overlooking the Atlantic, the views are truly astonishing.
Not only can you see, hear, and smell the ocean but you are
perched at just the right elevation to enjoy over 180 degrees
of unobstructed panoramic views. You can see the big island
of Puerto Rico, Culebra, St. Thomas, and on a clear day, St.
John. You also have the perfect lookout for spying local fishing
boats, sailboats, and private yachts.

“The Overlook” accommodates one to six people
in sophisticated and contemporary style. It is also the ultimate
property for your selection as the place to host your wedding
or special event, which will provide memories to last a lifetime.
Professionally managed and maintained by the well-known Bravos
Boyz team, you can be confident that your stay at “The
Overlook” will
be one of the most relaxing and comfortable experiences imaginable.
The Overlook is over 4,000 square feet of sophisticated and
contemporary luxury. There are three
bedroom suites, each
with their own bathroom, closet, outdoor terrace or patio,
entertainment center, desk, and other appointments. On the
first floor there is a Great Room with multiple seating areas
and relaxed atmosphere and media center. The modern kitchen complete with wet bar is adjacent to the dining area and a grand dining table with seating for 14 people. Directly behind
the kitchen is the pantry and service
area perfect for catering
large parties. There is also a laundry area and home gym. Off
the Great Room is a powder room and entry/reception area.
The three bedroom suites are located on the second floor and
are accessed by a large staircase opening up to the formal library/sitting
room.
The architecture is a modern mix of polished and painted concrete,
Spanish Cedar doors and windows, Turkish Marble floors, diamond
polished concrete counters, and other custom finishes throughout.
A recent visitor commented, “The Overlook is not just
a wonderful house but a piece of art”.
Outside there is a grand pool with polished concrete surrounds
and back wall complete with a serene fountain feature. There
is an outdoor seating area just off the great room, adjacent
to the pool. It has concrete banquets and a poured-in-place
concrete table for the perfect poolside cabana. Below the pool
there is a lower terrace with formed concrete benches surrounding
the entire terrace and a one of a kind concrete pergola offering
shade on the sunny pool deck area. In the evening it is the
perfect spot to watch the sun go down as you feel like you
are truly sitting on the edge of paradise.
“The Overlook” is in the Bravos de Boston
beachside neighborhood and is a favorite spot for those travelers
who truly get Vieques. The natural surrounding landscape boasts
many palm trees and other tropical plant varieties. The lushness
of this area has led some to call it “The Garden District
of Vieques”. The one-acre property itself has some of
the most beautiful gardens on the island. You can stroll through
the grounds on pathways and stairways on your way to the beach
below.
There is a protected mangrove estuary located between the
Overlook property and the ocean offering the perfect habitat
for many species of birds and animals. It is not uncommon to
see Brown Pelicans, snowy white egrets and other birds flying
the coastline. It is also fun to see the giant iguanas, which
often come out of the estuary and visit our garden in search
of the hibiscus flowers they love to eat.
Only a few steps from the lower garden is La Chata beach,
a favorite with the local neighborhood residents. You can take
a stroll down the beach and pick up sea glass and driftwood
and watch the waves crash against the craggy reefs. There are
a couple of good swimming holes where you can stop and take
a dip to cool off. When the water is calm some of the best
snorkeling can be found at La Chata and when the waves are
big you can watch the local surfers from sun up to sundown.
