Photos and Description of the Santa Teresa vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6-17)

The White House is the beachfront architectural jewel of Costa Rica's Pacific coast, located on Playa Hermosa, just a few hundred yards north of Santa Teresa and Mal Pais. (Click here for a map).

This signature home is beachside with it's own private infinity pool and volleyball court. The property is adjacent to Pranamar, Costa Rica's most exclusive 5 star yoga resort where guests of The White House can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at their world class restaurant Buddah Eyes, and enjoy their beachfront bar.

Accommodations: The White House is a large 4 Bedroom beachfront home that features a gourmet chef's kitchen with an amazing ocean view. Cooking dinner while watching the sun set is an experience that you will never forget !

The main house can accommodate up to 8 people. Should you have a larger party, you may rent out a Villa with the White House or the entire property, (main house and 2 villas) to give you a total of 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. We have full daily maid service, 24 hour security, Satellite tv, and wifi across the property.

Playa Hermosa is home to a plethora of tidepools and vast expanses of soft white sand. Great all level surf is a 2 minute beach walk north from The White House, and more experienced surfers can go out directly in front of the property.

Featured in 2010 in both Conde Naste Traveller and Su Casa (Central and South America's leading architectural magazine), The White house is the perfect beach getaway for the discriminating traveller.

Exquisite design, and all your creature comforts, along with contemporary art, furnishings, and appliances, and a location on one of the world's most beautiful and private beaches, will give you and your friends and family, the ultimate Costa Rican experience.

If you book The White House, you are welcome to speak to either our onsite Costa Rican manager, Mario, who speaks fluent English, or either of our two L.A. based owners (who spend many weeks a year at the house), and can advise you on everything from finding the best private chefs in the area to organizing a quad tour you'll never forget !

About Mario Matarrita

The picture below is right in front of The White House. The surfer you see is your White House Ambassador, Janine, whom you will be speaking and working with when booking the property. The property is owned jointly between Mr. Jordan and the Bishops who reside in LA and who both share a great love for Costa Rica.

Mario Matarrita purchased this house in 2007
Why Mario Matarrita chose Santa Teresa

We bought this property because this is the most beautiful beach in all of the Mal Pais region.

What makes this house unique

The windows provide so much light, until the sun goes down, we never need to turn any lights on. We have a beautiful beach right in front of the house, but what's nice is we have a great and very large tide pool area to the left and surfing for all levels not far to the right of us. One of the owners loves to cook on the grill, while the other owner fancies preparing food in the ocean front kitchen so he has a direct view of the waves.

Amazing!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We loved the house. So many positive things to say. The location, the beach, the country, the food (we were delivered food each day and cooked which suited us).. the pool is small but enough.. the incredible ocean 35 metres away.. the sweet iguana's everywhere. Monkeys along the road from the airport. But at the ned there are two key take-aways..

1. The service granted us was simply fantastic. You can be sure that whatever your needs are, you will be accomodated by intelligent, kind souls.. who are on top of everything.

2. The best recommendation we can give is that we rented this house for 8 days.. and then booked one month for 2014 because it was the best holiday of our lives. It does not
get better than this.. and we are discriminating guests

Enjoy it. Please don't book the entire year on us in 2015.

Owner's Response: Hello Andrew!

Thank you so much for your kind words. Getting a review like this makes us realize how lucky we are to be able to live here in paradise but most importantly to be able to share it with others. I am well traveled person too and I know how precious vacation time is. That is our goal, to be able to provide our guests with the best holidays of their life. I can't wait to see you next year and have you experience the "pure life" one more time.

Pura Vida.

Had a great time at the White House. The house and beach were so beautiful we are already planning our return trip. Mario is a great guy and can help with anything. Rent atv's for a great adventure and have a dinner catered at the house by Tortsen for a real treat.

My lovely young wife and another couple just got back from spending several nights at the White House of Costa Rica and can't wait to go back. The home looks like the photos (we knew that ahead of time - over New Year's we stayed at the small resort next door, Pranamar Villas), the place was clean and comfortable, and the person who manages the House could not have been nicer or more accommodating - he had groceries we asked for waiting for us (and added coffee, something we foolishly forgot) and had two ATVs already rented for us. We happily ate breakfast and lunch at the amazing restaurant at Pranamar, and grilled at the House for dinner.

We spent three wonderful days walking on the beach, lounging in the pool, napping, and listening to the waves. We were there in rainy season, which we prefer to the dry season - it rained at night and little (maybe an hour) during day, the rest of the time was warm and wonderful. An advantage of the rainy season is that the jungle is lush, but the beaches are largely empty. We had huge stretches of the Pacific Ocean basically to ourselves.

Cannot wait to return.

An Amazing Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: October 25, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My husband and I recently stayed at the White House with another couple. We had an amazing time.

The house itself is beautiful -- a modern structure with an abundance of glass and light, along with all of the creature comforts of a well equipped kitchen, seating for many, and fans/AC. As you step out the glass doors, you find multiple comfortable lounge chairs in sun and shade as well as one of the most beautiful infinity pools that I have ever seen. As you sit in the pool, leaning against the edge of the pretty blue tiles, you face an unbelievable view of the ocean.

The listing description and photos were more than accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this property without reservation -- and hope to return again soon myself!

Stunning Visit to Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: October 25, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My husband, friends and I recently stayed at the White House of Costa Rica after seeing it from the beach on another trip to Santa Theresa. In short, we loved it. The house is spacious, modern, and comfortable. The view from everywhere inside is gorgeous, the porch even better, and within 15 steps, you are on the beach, listening to waves and befriending beach dogs. Paradise.

The pool is even better than the pictures show.

There is great food next door at Pranamar -- order the Typico for breakfast and one of the salads for lunch along with a great frozen drink -- you can't go wrong.

Mario was lovely - easygoing and accommodating. He made sure our needs were met and checked in on us in the mornings to ensure everything was ok. He orchestrated ATV rental, charter flights on Carmona Air (which was GREAT) and ground transportation.

A terrific visit to our favorite spot. We'll be back. I highly recommend this place (only please don't go when we want to rent it!!!!)
