You can check in with the building staff.
The White House is a stylish & spacious beach villa in Sea Horse Ranch; a world-class oceanfront gated community on 250 pristine acres of the lovely north coast. Tranquil & ultra-safe. Perfect for sharing with family or friends

A large swimming pool is the focal point of the pretty lawned garden. WALK 2 minutes to 3 private beaches, twin oceanfront swimming pools & Beach Club/restaurant.

Encuentro surf beach & the lively watersports' capital of the island, Cabarete, are just minutes away

The space
The villa is designed in classic Caribbean style with cool terrazzo marble floors, cathedral ceilings, overhead fans and white-painted mahogany louvred windows & doors. Air-conditioning is available in all 5 bedrooms. Soft cotton slip-covered furniture, including vintage rattan & wicker pieces plus good artwork complete the look. It is very comfortable.

Housekeeping is included (6 mornings/week) & our cook service is available on request, for top rated in-villa dining. Please ask for current menus & prices.

This charming family home offers good privacy with its bedrooms in 2 wings either side of the large sitting room - with its vaulted ceilings & 8 double doors opening to the covered, wraparound terrace overlooking the pool and large gardens. A perfect combination of outdoor/indoor living. The large dining table is set up on the terrace with a brick-built charcoal BBQ alongside.

Sea Horse Ranch remains the most exclusive gated community in the area. J-Lo,Vin Diesel, Gigi Hadid, Zayn Malik, our President & the President of Uruguay have all stayed.

In addition to private beaches, twin ocean-front pools with waterfalls & cave and El Bosque Beach Club, there is an equestrian centre offering guided beach & trail rides, a tennis club including a pickleball court & a Saturday morning farmers' market.

Guest access
We do charge by occupancy with the base rate showing for up to 4 guests. Please enter YOUR total in dropdown menu, together with your dates for accurate pricing.

The villa works very well for multi-generational or larger family/friends' gatherings such as landmark birthdays/anniversaries/Christmas & New Year. Its tropical styling, with most rooms opening to the garden & pool, make it very appealing & gives a great sense of ''place''. This home is absolutely NOT a modern concrete box, rather a much-loved & traditional family vacation property set in a mature garden. We are lucky to receive many repeat visits from our guests; it is that sort of a place where people want to return year after year. We hope you too will enjoy it!

Other things to note
Sea Horse Ranch is a wonderful place to visit. Quiet & secure, with immaculately maintained green/public areas - full of nature, bird song & colourful butterflies! Walk to our sandy beaches with clear blue ocean waters. The perfect spot to relax & unwind, or to enjoy the great sporting & leisure activities that are all either within the ranch or close by! Cocotours can help with planning the best local activities for your private group.

Where you’ll be

Cabarete, Dominican Republic

Sea Horse Ranch is the most exclusive of all the gated communities on the island's north coast - from its magical ocean-front setting to the spacious lots, stylish villas & its wonderful resort-style facilities. The security here is second to none - unlike many other communities in the area which advertise safe environments, but actually are open to all-comers! Also, one can swim from our lovely beaches whereas other places in the area do not offer safe ocean bathing.

3 of our 4 private beaches, double ocean front swimming pools and beach club are within a 3 minute WALK of the villa. It's low-key luxe at its best! Smaller than Casa de Campo, but the north shore's very best.

Dominican supermodel, Ysaunny Brito, was a guest at the White House with her family & they all loved it!

Reliable power, water, security & high speed internet make for a very civilized & comfortable stay. We have private community back-up power plant that switches on automatically when/if the mains power goes out.

Close to best north coast watersports offerings; Playa Encuentro for world-class surfing, Kite Beach & Cabarete. Interesting local bars/cafes/restaurants etc, shopping, groceries etc ATM machines.
