the Overlook
quotes & accolades

"Thank you Tom and Kevin fo sharing your beautiful home. What an honor to be your first guests - everything was superlative - no detail overlooked (no pun intended). The magnificent views and your design sense and materials used are awesome! Also your suggestion to spend an evening at Touchstone with Rick and Honor was certainly a highlight."

"We had a fabulous time at the Overlook. You have produced a lovely vacation spot here. The front patio is a particularly peaceful site. Wether it is early morning, midday, or night, we loved sitting on the patio enjoying the tranquil view and the cooling breezes. Relaxing on the back porches looked like it could be a lot of fun although our children got there first, so we will have to save that experience for next time.

Finally, we would like to comment on Vieques. This island has a distinct personality and we loved it. So many Caribbean Islands try to be exclusive. What is great about Vieques is that this island tries to be inclusive.

We now return to Philidelphia after a great vacation. Thank you very much for having us."

"Dear Tom and Kevin,
We had a wonderful week. The house is very well equipped and supplied, lots of great details. The dimmers and the sound system are great.
The celebration turned out very, very well. We could not have chosen a better setting.
Warm Regards"

"Dear Tom and Kevin,
Hard to find words to describe probably one of the best weeks of my life. EVERYTHING was fantastic. Your attention to detail shows in your house ... Your presence is felt throughout. I was so inspired that I even proposed and she accepted! This week will be one to remember for the rest of our lives. We'll be back, thanks!! "

"What can we say? When we walked up those steps and saw the pool area it took our breath away! The pictures on the internet are incredible, but they really can't do justice to the real thing. Thank you for the experience.
We probably would have seen more of Vieques had your house not been so accomodating, comfortable, and beautiful. And you know what - we don't regret one second of it. The kitchen is perfect to prepare big meals. We didn't bump into each other at all and were able to prepare the best meals.
Thank you again - we'll be back soon!"

"Edgy. Smart. Tasteful. Comfortable. Sexy. That's how I see this amazing vacation home. It will suit the sensibility of the connoisseur in every way from the raw concrete pool with its graphic water fountains, to the serene views, to the comfortable furnishings right down to the stone basin in the powder room and the outdoor shower. There is not much to compare in the Caribbean."
