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.

North coast attractions include:
-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.
