More Info:
This 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom villa is situated within the most prestigious gated community on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, a 15-minute drive from Puerto Plata (POP) International Airport.
The White House, recently completely renovated, is the ideal vacation rental for 2 families or a group of friends. It is tastefully furnished in a contemporary style with a mix of imported and local furniture, upholstered with cotton slipcovers in neutral shades of cream, sand and beige.
The house is painted white throughout & carefully selected pictures, local maps, baskets of shells, hurricane lamps and fresh cut flowers complete the luxurious beach house feel.
The house is designed to take full advantage of its tropical setting in the midst of a mature Caribbean garden with 8 louvered doors completely opening up the large sitting room to the wrap-around terrace, which is attractively furnished for outdoor living.
The dining table is located at one end, with a door leading directly into the kitchen. There is a brick barbeque on the lawn adjacent to the terrace.
The large free form pool is the focal point of the garden, with sun loungers and pool furniture on the surrounding terrace. Natural shade is supplied by numerous palms as well as the 100-yr-old+ kapok tree. There is an outdoor shower. The garden features an attractive variety of indigenous plants, including banana, mango, papaya and orange trees, birds of paradise, camellias, jasmine, bougainvillea and frangipani.

-Cabarete; windsurfing & kiteboarding centre of world-renown
-Sosúa for scuba diving and snorkelling

-Samaná for whalewatching
Things to Do Nearby:
Cabarete, the windsurfing and kite-boarding mecca, which features in the 'World Cup' series of races, is a 10 minute drive to the east, so although Sea Horse Ranch is pretty much a destination in itself, the very cosmopolitan charm of Cabarete's myriad bars, cafes, restaurants, shops is on the doorstep.
Sosua has a pretty horseshoe shaped bay, with clear waters, great for scuba diving & snorkeling on the reef. Sosua has 2 good supermarkets, and a top-quality Swiss baker.
Golfers are well-catered for, with the Playa Dorada Robert Trent Jones course being 20 minutes' drive to the west, and 'The Pebble Beach of the Caribbean', the ocean front course at Playa Grande, 45 minutes in the other direction. The 9-hole Costa Azul course is just 5 minutes' drive in the direction of Cabarete.

 Cozumel's Beaches & Snorkeling - Cozumel Mexico
Cozumel's beaches vary from scalloped bays and inlets to wide wind-swept swathes of powdery sand. The calm waters of the western side of the island are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, and sunbathing. The desolate, eastern shore is lashed by waves and steady winds, although there are some lovely escarpments and bays safe for swimming.

First let me explain why I call it authentic Mexican cerviche. I lived in the Yucatan Peninsula over 20 years ago at the beginning of the birth of Cancun. I worked on boats every day and learned to make Mexican food dishes from the natives I worked with.

Tobago Scuba Diving - Trinidad and Tobago
Hmmm, Tobago Diving...You'll LOVE it. It's tranquil, quiet, very laid back and friendly. Tobago's got to be the least known little island that ever comes to mind when it comes to diving. It's a little secret in the Caribbean. Mantas?

Caribbean Travel Tip
Jungle & Rainforest Treking
If you plan to walk into the jungle make sure you know what you are doing. Carry a GPS and know how to use it. A compass will help the experienced explorer but if you just bought it and expect to enter the jungle and knock about then you may find yourself in deep trouble.
If you have to venture into the bush then please follow these instructions:
- Tell somebody where you are going.
- Bring lots of water.
- Make sure your compass works.
- Mark your trail.
- Be visually aware and remember landmarks.
- Check to see where the sun is when you enter the bush then check your watch to see what time it is, make regular checks to orient yourself to the movement of the sun.
