Fall 2004“The pirates in the British Virgin Islands knew a good view when they found one: at the west end of Tortola , from a hilly spit of land called Frenchman's Cay, they would watch for treasure ships. The buccaneering days are in the past, but the cay's sunrise-to-sunset panoramas can still be enjoyed when you stay at the picturesque two-story villa Frenchman's Lookout. The Carolina-style house—complete with sixty-four French doors that effectively unite inside and outside—was recently bought by American hotelier Richard Friedman, who refurbished the property with an eye to ultra-comfortable Caribbean ambiance.""…after a few days here, plans tend to melt away. Then all you want to do is laze in a hammock and stare out to sea; perhaps you'll even spot a treasure ship on the horizon. ” January 2004Featured as a “Best New Villa in the Caribbean ”
