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. There are large areas of lawn too, with plenty of private corners for reading/taking a siesta. A hammock provides an additional quiet spot. There is a pool changing room with WC & washbasin.

and has a rear gate,
leading to the beach walkway.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself against financial loss. The most useful plan is a comprehensive policy that includes coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, default, trip delay, and medical expenses (with a waiver for preexisting conditions).
Without insurance, you will lose all or most of your money if you cancel your trip or have to cut it short, regardless of the reason. Default insurance covers you if your tour operator, airline, or cruise line goes out of business. Trip-delay covers unforeseen expenses that you may incur due to bad weather or mechanical delays. Study the fine print when comparing policies.
For overseas travel, one of the most important components of travel insurance is its medical coverage. Supplemental health insurance will pick up the cost of your medical bills should you get sick or injured while traveling.
U.S. residents should note that Medicare generally does not cover health-care costs outside the United States, nor do many privately issued policies.
Residents of the United Kingdom can buy an annual travel-insurance policy valid for most vacations taken during the year in which the coverage is purchased.
If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition, make sure you're covered.
Always buy travel insurance directly from an insurance company or agent; if you buy it from a cruise line, airline, or tour operator that goes out of business, you probably will not be covered for the agency or operator's default, a major risk. Before you make any purchase, review your existing health and home-owner's policies to find out whether they cover expenses incurred while traveling.
