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.We invite you to look inside "the Overlook", tour the gardens, and contact us with any questions you may have.
