The White House is a modern four bedroom four bath, luxury beach front villa designed by an architect on site. The floor plan is very open with plenty of room to congregate for meals and conversation. The villa is situated on two large lots with over 140 feet of ocean frontage. A large roof-mounted solar array and solar heated water help keep your vacation footprint green.
The villa is located inside a gated condo community, The Cove. Within walking distance, just outside the condo gate is a small "colmado", corner grocery store, called Hernandez. A very "Dominican" store, it doesn't look like much but you will be surprised at what you can find there.
This spacious home is perfect for families or up to four couples. A sofa bed in the second floor media room can accommodate two additional guests, though it provides little privacy, and the bathroom is downstairs. All four bedrooms have queen sized beds, remote controlled air-conditioning, and ceiling fans. The two largest bedrooms have modern, Italian style bathrooms with two glass sinks, separate shower and toilet enclosures and large closets. The two slightly smaller bedrooms are well designed, with plenty of storage and large bathrooms. The media room, on the second level, is equipped with a flat screen television and DVD / Blue-ray player. Bring your own DVDs or watch ours. The upper level also has a spacious conversation area which opens to the upper terrace.
The villa offers breath-taking views from inside or out. From December through April (prime season is January through March) humpback whales put on a show right in front of the villa (see the video made with a drone in March 2016).
Swim in the immaculately kept pool or walk to a protected white sand beach just 20 yards outside the front gate. The large kitchen has a four-burner gas stove, gas oven and the expansive cabinets are stocked with cooking utensils. A large side-by-side refrigerator / freezer allows you to stock up for a week. Hot and cold electric water dispenser, blender, toaster, mixer, electric coffee pot, plates, glasses, stemware and silverware for at least eight and a dishwasher for quick clean up. A washer and dryer are available for your use (or the maid).
If you choose to dine indoors, the table seats eight comfortably and an over-sized coffee table by the L-shaped sofa nearby will hold any overflow. The outdoor, shaded dining table also seats eight and there are several occasional tables and additional chairs should you have extra guests.
WiFi internet is available.
Our stay was delightful, Alex was very responsive to our needs. The property and location are outstanding...we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and outside proximity to the ocean. The only reason for not a full 5 stars is hot water was very intermittent and the oven only functioned part of the time and since we were there Christmas week, we did want to use it.
The property is a bit of a distance from the larger airports (we arrived in Santiago) but it is well worth the time and effort. It took just over 3.5 hours but there are lots a great views and roadside bodegas to break up the drive. When we arrived at the property, we were warmly greeting by Carmen who had prepared us a nice lunch. The property is very modern and well appointed and the views of the bay are spectacular. Everything is went very smooth and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We made multiple day trips to the beautiful beaches in Las Galeras (our favorite was La Playita). We also made a day trip to Las Terrenas and took a four wheeler tour of the beaches around and sites around Las Galeras. It is a spectacular and comfortable residence and the staff treated us like family. We would definitely return again and would recommend to everyone! Gracias por toda Carmen y Alex!
Probably the best rental property in Samana. Very private close to all relevant hot spots in Samana. Amazing views all around. Alex and his team are great up keeping the property and giving good suggestions, always attentive to our needs. Wish I had allotted more time at this location. Need to come back during wale watching season. Must be espectacular front row sitting.
Better than the pictures!!
Great trip. Alessandro and Carmen were outstanding
Two couples stayes here for a long awaited getaway. Perfect location. Pool was amazing and cleaned throughout our stay. House was clean and stocked with towels and kitchen supplies. Carmen's cooking was awesome! And Fabian and his son were our drivers from and to the airport and for excuraions. Highly recommend! Alessandro, the house manager was extremely responsive before and during the trip. Nothing close by for groceries, so get rhem before you come to the house. The only issue we had was the entertainment system did not work so we played cards or read books instead.
Alessandro was great! Treated us like family. Very pleased with this property! Thank you!
I could not say enough good about staying at this House. Everything was spot on. The house is as shown in pictures. We appreciated the 24hr a day security service. Alex and Carmen was the best. I would consider them friends after only knowing them for 2 weeks. Very helpful with any questions or travel needs. Highly recommended!!
How is nice size and well equipped. Would recommend. Carmen and Al were so amazing.
The property is really nice and the location is fantastic. On one side you can see the ocean and, if you're lucky, whales and on the other side you have direct access to a very nice small beach with small currents. The house also has an excellent pool which was cleaned every second day. Unfortunately the house is not as well maintained as it could be, but this might be explained by the hurricane that hit the island last year. But the people in charge were welcoming and very helpful. We didn't get to meet Alessandro, but we met with his friend Alberto who was very nice and helpful. We also met Carmen, a local lady who cooked some very delicious meals for us and who waited for us when we arrived until quite late in the night (with dinner). She also went out of her way to buy local fruits and groceries for us. Alberto used his connections to organise a rental car for us and we spent one day on his boat sailing up the coast. All in all we had a very pleasant stay and we would go there again.
We were a group of seventyish friends. This wonderful property suited us perfectly. It is a bit out of the way but worth the short drive into town. Located on a point of land right on the Caribbean, the view is beyond spectacular. There is a lovely beach right there for you as well as a pool. The villa is even better than the pictures. I especially want to give a shout out to Alessandro, our contact and manager. He was the most helpful and responsive person I have ever worked with in all my VRBO experiences. If the Dominican Republic is on your bucket list, by all means include Samana and Casa Blanca in your plan.
What a beautiful experience for a wonderful occasion. The owner was very helpful & responsive to my messages throughout the entire process. We throughly enjoyed the Villa. The chef Carmen was amazing & so was her food. My only suggestion is if you’re visiting during the summer months make sure you turn on the ac in the rooms & let it cool off in there & then open the doors in the rooms-to allow the ac to cool the rest of the Villa. The pool was amazing. Naomi & her assistant came to the Villa, & my friends & I enjoyed the massages. I most definitely will visit again.
If you are looking for a place to stay, relax and take in a beautiful scenery, then this is the place for you. From the moment you book la casa blanca, you are treated with the upmost hospitality. Alessandro is very easy to work with and very accommodating. The view from the house is spectacular, the pool is amazing ( it is great for kids as well as adults because it starts off shallow then gets deeper. My 5 year old enjoyed it as much as we all did) and the chef, Carmen, is wonderful. I cannot say enough about how lucky we are to have found this place. There is no need to pack beach towels, they have plenty at the house waiting for you to use them. The house has 2 sets of snorkeling gear ready for your use. You can enjoy the view from the pool, the cabana area or on the 2nd floor balcony. My family did all of the above. We did pack our own Amazon Firestick and the wifi was great. Our children were able to watch their shows without any problems during their down time. Hope this helps you click reserve when you are thinking of booking. My family of 4 loved our stay so much we cannot wait to come back. You will feel very safe as there is a guard and his wife ( i beleive) who come at sunset with their dogs. Again, we felt very safe. The driver that Alessandro referred us to ( Fabian ) was great as well. He picked us up from the airport, took us to the grocery store and then to our house. He was also our transportation with any excursions that we did. He would keep our kids booster seats with him so we didn't have to take them to the beach with us and brought them back ( the booster seats, not the kids) when he picked us up. Everyone on the island that we dealt with uses What's App. I highly recommend you downloading this App. It was very helpful when communicating. I wish I could post a picture so you could see how wonderful this place truly is.
