The White House Costa Rica - Villas for Rent in Ocotal Beach, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

The property is spacious, as is the house; it has everything you need to spend a few days relaxing with your family. Christian and Gerardo were very friendly and helpful at all times. we'll definitely be back!

La propiedad es amplia asi cómo también lo es la casa, cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar unos buenos dias de descanso en familia. Christian y Gerardo muy amables y atentos en todo momento. sin duda regresaremos!

The house had a construction area by the pool. When we asked, they told us it was nothing, that they were not renovating. However, there is a gap with metal bars alongside it, and the pool has no steps to get in or out, which makes it unsuitable for all types of guests. When we arrived, the house was dirty, with bugs on the floor, including cockroach wings, the bathroom carpets looked like they had cement dust on them, and there was dust and cobwebs in the shower. Also, the air conditioners in two of the bedrooms did not cool the rooms. We contacted Christian to resolve these issues; he had the cleaning redone and the air conditioners fixed, but the cleaning was still not ideal. Finally, the workers/laborers who are working on the adjacent property and in the same house come in without warning at any time. There are 3 gates: 1 is unlocked, with just a cable, so anyone can enter; for the other, we don't have the key; and for the large gate, they told us to just pull it open, as it was “secure.”

La casa tenía zona de construcción por la piscina, al preguntar nos dijeron que no es nada que no están en remodelación sin embargo hay un hueco con varillas de metal a la par y la piscina no tiene escaleras para ingresar-salir, lo cual no la hace apta para todo tipo de público. Cuando llegamos la casa estaba sucia con bichos en el suelo entre ellas alas de cucaracha, las alfombras de los baños estaban como con polvo de cemento y en la ducha había polvo y telas de araña. Además los aires acondicionados de 2 cuartos no enfriaban. Nos comunicamos con Christian para solucionar estos problemas , mandó a rehacer la limpieza y a arreglar los aires sin embargo la limpieza tampoco fue lo ideal. Por último los trabajadores/peones que tienen trabajando en terrenos a la par y en la misma casa entran sin avisar a cualquier hora,hay 3 portones 1 queda sin llave solo un cable que cualquiera entra, el otro no se tiene la llave y del portón grande nos dijeron que solo jaláramos ya que era“seguro”

The beds are not very comfortable, the villa is relatively not like the pictures… the neighbor's dogs are noisy and the cleanliness leaves something to be desired

Les lits ne sont pas très confortable, la villa est relativement pas comme sur les photos … les chiens du voisin sont bruyants et la propreté laisse à désirer

Villa nestled in the Ocotal hills, just a mile from the beach. In the area, I recommend Playa Pez Vela, a little gem. Regarding the villa, the newly built pool is stunning, the villa is beautifully designed, and the staff is very helpful. I will definitely return, but for longer. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended for those with young children or families, Cristian (the host) was very attentive to our needs and treated us like family. The house was clean and tidy, with beautiful beaches and restaurants nearby. The host recommended the best ones and even went shopping for us. It was our first time in Costa Rica and we felt right at home at the White House. 10/10 Best regards, Beta

grazie mille ragazzi é stato un piacere avervi accolto  ,spero di rivevervi al piu presto ,per farvi rilassare da noi e farvi vivere un altro momento unico  !! pura vida !

It was an amazing christian experience that we highly recommend! We stayed with my wife with him. I recommend it to all types of travelers with family , alone or with friends . First, I recommend contacting him or her to give you the best advice, he or she can offer you a concierge service at 360 degrees and make you save a little money, as if you don't know how to get around the coast, it can be very expensive. I found the place super clean and super spacious with modern decor and high-quality materials with a beautiful jacuzzi on the top floor. The location is excellent as it is very close In Playa Ocotal and many restaurants and supermarkets. The highlight of the stay was a Christian who brought us and recommended beautiful places on the Costa Rica and also prepared delicious dinners upon request. Definitely worth coming back!!

E stata un’esperienza fantastica da christian che consigliamo tantissimo! Abbiamo alloggiato da lui con mia moglie lo consiglio a tutti i tipo di viaggiatori con famiglia , da soli o con amici . Per prima cosa vi consiglio di contattarlo vi telefono in modo da farvi consigliare al meglio , potrà offrirvi un servizio di concierge a 360 gradi e farvi risparmiare un po di soldini in quanto se non si sa come muoversi in costa rica puó essere molto dispendioso. L’alloggio l’ho trovato pulitissimo e super spazioso con arredamento moderno e materiali di alta qualità con una bellissima jacuzzi all’ultimo piano . La posizione è ottimale in quanto vicinissimo A playa ocotal e a tanti servizi di ristoro e supermercati. Il fiore all’occhiello peró del soggiorno è stato christian che ci ha portato e consigliato posti stupendi del costa rica e anche preparato delle cene deliziose a richiesta . Sicuramente da ritornare!!

Christian’s property is exactly how it’s listed and MORE! The wifi works great, the beds are so comfortable, the place was so clean and SO worth the price. The yard is beautiful, the home is amazingly designed and so comfortable and Christian is one of the most amazing hosts I have met! Christian’s knowledge of the town and surrounding areas made things so much better with his recommendations. We were treated to his amazing Italian dishes and he showed us traditional ways of cooking, loved this part. It was very hot weather but the ample shade on the terrace and the jacuzzi cool down pool was perfecto! We came to The White House not sure what to expect but we’re blown away by this trip! Beyond our expectations and we left knowing that we gained a friend! Looking forward to our next trip to The White House.

Christian was a great host, friendly, helpful, respectful. Definitely enjoyed our time there, I’ll be back.

Hi, Nathan, thank you so much for visiting US , I Hope you come back soon . It was really nice to meet you guys!

This is a very nice place but it needs a lot of love. First the positive. The roof is amazing. Pool/jacuzzi, view, shared kitchen & bathroom. We spent a lot of time there. Nice view, nice stars at night. Taziano was nice. Now the not so good. The room downstair is plague with mosquitos. There's a crack where the dpor close and there's one light that is always open. It must attract them... My baby girl got stung so much that we had to put her in our room and made a camping bed with the roof couch... The matresses were really out of shape and uncomfortable. The shower and the floors were really dirty. There was fungus/dust floating during showers because of the half clog drain. And the house is half empty so this is a huge waste of space.

The White House is very modern and Tiziano was very gracious and helpful. The continental breakfast was lovely assortment of local fruits and coffee. It is a fair walk to the local beaches and we definitely found it better to drive. The house is centrally located between Playa Ocotal and Playa Coco. The roof top patio and jacuzzi made for a great spot to relax at the end of the day and early in the morning. Some fantastic star gazing at night as well.

Had a great time minus the fact the Wi-Fi kept on going out! Not the fault of the hosts but the fault of the weather.

WE ARE STILL SORRY ABOUT THE WI-FI PROBLEM, SEE YOU SOON

It was not clean and the photos are not accurate

Cristian is by far one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I had an amazing honeymoon. Between private tours to arenal/rio de Celeste or all the help with meeting locals or what places to frequent.  He was so very attentive and couldn’t have asked for a better host.  Went out of his way to get medication or certain food we liked, cooked breakfast and dinner.  I’m happy to say I went to Costa Rica for vacation/holiday and I left knowing I’ve gained a new friend for life. Pura vida Cristian mi amigo, hasta que nos encontremos de nuevo.(until we meet again)

Hands down my favorite Air bnb hosts! Marty and Nick embodied everything I’d want in a host! They were kind, thoughtful, responsive, flexible and most importantly loving! The house was absolutely gorgeous and the meals and drinks need a review of there own! Marty is a superb chef and Nick is one of the best mixologist I’ve encountered! I absolutely adore Marty and Nick and gained friends! I would not hesitate to book with them again!

Thank you so much for your kind words! All the best, for the rest... of your adventure. :)

Marty and Nick were amazing hosts. The amount of care and thought that went into hosting us made us feel like home. Highly recommend staying here! Christian is the owner and he just made our stay even more memorable. Thank you all so much and hope to stay in touch! ❤️

Five stars is an understatement! The property is absolutely beautiful and Marty, Nick, and Christian are the absolute sweetest! The breakfasts were delicious, the view amazing, and the pool peaceful. I asked for some lotion for my sun burn and within three minutes there was aloe sun relief at my door! We cannot wait to go back a visit our new friends 😊

Welcome to ‘The White House’ where hospitality is sophisticated! Marty “the goat” was our quasi concierge/personal chef/travel advisor and much more! Marty was adamant about ensuring that our stay was memorable and moreover remarkable! Superhost is an understatement! Marty ensured that we had everything we needed and pointed us in the right direction made accommodations as needed. For example, Marty called a private Dr. to take our mandatory Covid test a day before our departure! It was very expedited, affordable & convenient! He suggested an affordable reliable golf cart that commuted us everywhere! Marty offered us signature dining at The White House! The dishes were very upscale, we felt graced to be in the presence of a personal chef! I have no complaints, but if you are allergic to cats that may be an issue. I do not like cats but the cat was friendly and I enjoyed my stay so much I wasn’t merely bothered at all. Marty, Nick and Christian, are the epitome of what being hospitable is all about!

Thankyou Leyland for your lovely tribute to our service and to the White House. Nick and I have spent many years between us in the hospitality business in various roles, and we see this as an opportunity to excel with service after these last 2 years where it has often been hard to find the kindness and care that makes the difference... Thank you for choosing us, and trusting us! :)

Hands down the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at! The White House is a beautiful, modern, and very well taken care of place. My favorite part of our suite was the floor to ceiling windows that offered us stunning views. As warm-bodied people, the combo of AC + fan availability was extremely appreciated. I also loved that our fridge was stacked with cold water & snacks. The cherry on top of this place was the hosts! Marty & Nick make sure to make your stay an unforgettable one. Every morning we were served a delicious breakfast prepared by Marty who is an amazing cook! If you love a cocktail, Nick is always happy to make you one. They really care that you have a great experience and will be happy to send you all the recommendations of the best restaurants, beaches, etc. This was our first time coming to Costa Rica and staying here was the best way to kick off our trip. First impressions matter and we had an amazing one. We will definitely be back!

Thank you Melanie for the great review! You were such appreciative guests, and that made it such a pleasure to cook for you. Hope to see you again when your travel plans allow... Pura Vida! :)

Luxurious Mediterranean style accommodations with the charm of Costa Rica. Start your day with magnificent sunrises on the rooftop to the sounds of monkeys and birds. Beautiful beaches are a 15 minute walk or a short ride in a golf buggy.  The downtown for shopping, restaurants and nightlife is a 5 minute drive. For those wanting adventure, hiking trails are close and open to breathtaking views of the pacific and the valley below. The rooftop pool with jets is refreshing any time of day. Marty and Nick are hospitable hosts with attention to detail that will make your stay an unforgettable unique experience. Pura Vida!

Thank you, Marian, for your lovely words. We cant wait for your next visit. We are missing your Zen and great conversation. Come back soon! Marty & Nick

This was the best AirBnB we’ve stayed in. The hosts, Marty and Nick, were responsive, great to talk with, and their attention to detail really made our stay at The White House an amazing experience. They also gave suggestions of places to eat and things to do which were really helpful. The room was very clean, and well-decorated. It felt modern and classy, and fit the vibe of a tropical vacation. The blackout windows were great, we were able to look out and see the nature around us without anyone being able to look in. The hosts also provided filtered water, bath towels, and beach towels. The rooftop was incredible. The spa is great to soak or cool down in after a long day. The breakfast and drinks were delicious. The entire rooftop was clean and beautiful from the bar to the sitting areas, and it’s very private. Overall the experience here was very luxurious, the hosts were wonderful, and we look forward to visiting again! Thanks Marty and Nick!

Thank you Soriya and Brendan for your wonderful review...we really wish you could have stayed a little longer, but we hope you enjoy seeing a little more of this beautiful country before you return home! :)

Great experience, above expectations, from our host, Marty. We were blown away by the delicious breakfast food & experience - this was totally unexpected for us, so it was a great surprise. Villa looks stylish and the apartment with rooftop is very nice. One thing worth mentioning is that the apartment entrance is through the bathroom, so this is worth considering when staying here with someone else for longer periods of time. For 2 nights, this was no problem at all, but i imagine it gets difficult to get into the apartment or move between rooms when someone is using the bathroom and has locked the doors from inside. Overall, best hosting experience from our 3 weeks trip in Costa Rica.

Thank you, Cosmin for your very honest review. You were very special guests and we loved hosting you. You are quite right about the quirky entrance to the suite...it is soon to be replaced by a spiral staircase from the reception area up to the the balcony of the guest suite, which will make entering the suite more elegant and accessible. :)

We adored our time at the White House with Marty and Nick. This is a truly unique and polished property unlike any place we've stayed. Our hosts were incredibly attentive and created an experience of deep relaxation, joy and delight. Marty's breakfasts and Nick's bar magic bowled us over with sophistication, variety and sheer deliciousness. The rooftop pool and views are a lovely way to stay connected with nature even when not at the beach, though there are several beaches in the area we also visited for walks and snorkeling adventures. Stay here if you want each one of your five senses to experience deep fulfillment. Remember to bring some ear plugs if you'd like to sleep in- the house is beautiful, peaceful and quiet itself, but the local roosters are likely to crow enthusiastically at any time of day. This is all just part of the Pura Vida experience you will enjoy at the White House.

Thanks, Carly, for your lovely words. You two have such great energy and it was an absolute pleasure to host you. Your enthusiasm and appreciation levels are second to none, and that made our role a true delight! Come back soon!! :)

Absolutely enchanting stay because of the amazing hosts, Marty and Nick! They truly went above and beyond to elevate the experience at The White House. The bedroom and salon sitting room were nicely appointed and just as pictured. The rooftop bar/plunge pool/breakfast nook/relax area is the perfect place to recharge at any time of the day. We welcomed their many different suggestions for dinner and excursions and the location is perfectly situated for exploring the area. Also very close to Liberia Airport. Breakfast was delicious and extra special! WiFi worked great and the salon sitting room is a perfect place to setup for a remote work office, if so desired. Marty and Nick gave us the right amount of socialization and we enjoyed chatting with them about their extensive travels. I would highly recommend this Airbnb and will be looking forward to returning at my earliest opportunity!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Michelle. We so enjoyed your company and conversation, your travel tips and feedback. Until next time! Pura Vida! Marty & Nick.

My standards for AirBnB just went up, the White House boutique experience truly deserves a special listing because it is such a Costa Rican treasure. The attention to details from the finishes of the interior design in the room/ bathroom, culinary meals, craft cocktails and stellar, attentive service begins with excellent communication, to the cheerful welcome and settling in, to the helpful assistance to any local excursion. I was seeking a quiet and comfortable refuge In Costa Rica to write creatively that was private, safe, and luxurious. Ambiance and architecture matters to me. Both create a unique, soulful experience here, but it's the international style of hospitality from the hosts Marty and Nick that stands out from any other experience I've felt from past reservations. Breakfast was casual and delicious, oh my gosh!!! Marty's extensive travels shows in how he prepares each days tantalizing surprise from savory to sweet. Heavenly bites. Complete with a shaded roof top table setting with fresh flowers from the garden, Costa Rican cafe and valley breezes. Perfecto. I loved my relaxing mornings and found myself most creative with this kind of start to my day. Then, steps away a private spa dip to cool yourself and take in the views. Perfect daydreaming spot. In the evening, the sky would turn from blue to pink and orange creating a surreal feelings of being elevated in the elements. From this view you are literally in the canopy of the treetops. I will miss this. All the practical pleasures are provided, comfy bed, tv, A/C, internet, bathroom with plenty of space and privacy, as well as, amenities. Just ask if you need anything, they are quite accommodating and eager to be a blessing during your stay. I highly recommend this space, as it feels exactly like a 'hotel for one' where you are treated like a goddess- literally. This AirBnB embodies what vacations are meant to be- an escape from reality to explore new landscapes, cultures and ideas about life while being wonderfully pampered. Gift yourself this memorable experience. They inspire their guests with a unique style of bespoke hospitality that culminates from decades of global travel and lived experiences. Catch it while you can :) Pura Vida!

Maybe it's because we are both writers that we find it hard to be brief! Thank you, Carolyn, for your words. We put a lot of care into what we offer, as you have experienced. There are many amazing properties in this part of Costa Rica, but they don't always offer a level of service, which is what one experiences in a hotel... What we try to achieve here at the White House is that mystical blending of privacy and service, in a luxe setting. Thank you for highlighting this aspect of your stay! It was easy for us to look after you! Thank you for your tips and sightseeing trips!! Purs Vida :)

This was the most amazing part of our stay, and it had nothing to do with the town in Costa Rica, which was beautiful. But the accommodations and the hosts were beyond five star! They were knowledgeable, inviting, accommodating and just AMAZING. Their knowledge on many subjects is intriguing and they checked in regularly to see if anything could be different or better! They answered any and all questions and were just ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I cannot say it enough. I will come back here EVERYTIME I come to Costa Rica. I typically don’t visit anything more than once, but this is truly a gorgeous accommodation (quiet, well located and so pristine). The food and drinks were also beyond expectations.

Jenna & David!! Thank you for the glowing review!. We loved hosting you and really hope we can host you again on a future visit. We are going to gain 'Superhost' status very soon, and reviews like yours are going to help fast track us there. Here's to a great 2022 to you both. Thank you! Marty & Nick. :)

Thank you for your kind review, Corey. We look forward to hosting you again... and your friends & family. :)

After an easy 30 minute drive from Liberia we managed to find the Villa, which is hidden away down a street with no name, like many in Costa Rica. The house is very grand in appearance. Marty was very helpful and informed and briefed us on the property. He explained the owners vision and plans for future expansion. The apartment is modern and although a little quirky in design, it is a real haven, with stunning views from floor length windows. With Marty & Nick looking after us, we truly felt pampered at every moment. The gourmet breakfasts and service were a treat we weren't expecting and really give this property an edge on the local competition. We've stayed in many 5 star hotels where we were one of many, but the White House succeeds in making you feel instantly welcome and cared for. We slept like a dream away from the bustling beaches and enjoyed the valley breezes and views from the rooftop, which is like a private beach club, with the spa and bar available to enjoy. Treat yourself!!

Mel! Thank you for such a stellar review and great feedback. We really enjoyed hosting you and hope we might see you again when you travel back this way. :)

The pictures do justice to the amazing White House including the rooftop views, the very refreshing pool and the big windows. But one thing that you cannot put into pictures or words is what wonderful and dedicated hosts Marty and Nick were. From delicious breakfasts to twilight cocktail hour, making sure we were able to check-in well after a long flight and giving us the best suggestions of the local digs, they are definitely the best part of our stay at the White House. Do yourself a favour and book yourself a couple of nights at this awesome one-room hotel!

Wow! Thanks Mi Lan and Ryan for this 'tribute' to the White House and our service. We loved looking after you two and here's to your continuing adventures in Costa Rica!

We had a lovely, relaxing, four night break at the White House. Marty & Nick are great hosts they make you feel very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and they are available any time by phone or message. The food was delicious and each day we were excited for breakfast! Lovely ambiance on roof top and a lovely cool breeze and starry skies if you don’t want to go out or relax after dinner. We had a car and found it easy to find using the Waze app and was only 25 minutes from the airport which was great. Ocotal is very close to coco but a car is recommended to get around. We would love to come back soon! Thank You

Thank you Carly and Ruben for your lovely review of the White House. Thanks also for your constructive feedback so we can improve and grow. It was a real pleasure to host your stay... :)

I stayed at La Villa Blanca in Ocotal for 12 days with Marty and Nick. I took a cab from the airport, which should be $55/60. I would suggest putting “VILLA KALIA” into google maps and directing your driver there. Marty and Nick are gracious and extremely accommodating hosts - they made my stay very easy. If you have a car or mode of transportation, it will be much easier to explore Coco, Ocotal and the neighboring towns. I didn’t have a car so I walked everywhere, which was fine for me - about 30 minutes to walk to Coco or my favorite beach Pez Vela. Sometimes the electricity goes out - which happens all over Costa Rica and the wifi can not be strong so if you are working remotely, that’s something to keep in mind. Also, avoid the beach during red tide! My room had a great view of the hills and I loved nice touches like fresh flowers and filtered water. If you have time to talk with Marty and Nick, they are wonderful hosts and great conversationalists. Hope to see you guys again! Thanks for everything!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and excellent advice Suzie. We hope New York is treating you well and warming up a little? We really hope you will be able to return some time soon. We miss our chats and your great energy. Gattino, now called Pedro, also misses you...

Great space inside and outside - the rooftop is fantastic. Marty and Nick were great hosts and we had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you both for your kind review and handy tips and honest feedback during your stay. We really enjoyed meeting such intrepid travellers. :)

Thanks for your very kind comments. It was an absolute pleasure to look after you two, and spoil you as much as we could!! We hope you will return, with family... Marty & Nick.

Marty is so kind and attentive, if you need something he is for you every moment :) The lodge is so beautiful, comfortable has a rooftop with kitchen, spa to have a nice moment! The jacuzzi does not have heat water but during the day is perfect :) For sure we’d like to come back 😊

Thanks for your review and comments, Mariá José! It was a delight to meet you and Anthony and to have you stay over New Year. Thank you for your feedback also... we may heat the spa pool next season, but for now it is great to refresh during the day. For future guests, eventually, The White House will feature a full size swimming pool and waterfall...at the front of the Villa. When this happens, we will likely heat the spa pool in the evenings.

Had a great stay at the White House.  Marty and Nick were so attentive friendly and great with communication. They made sure we had everything we needed and more! Had great recommendations for the area. The house was beautifully done with a great rooftop to stargaze. Cheers xx

Thanks for being our first International guests! Your feedback is much appreciated, and we are hoping to see you again if you venture back to Guanacaste. Here's to a great 2022. Love and Happiness.

The stay with Marty was great, he is a very attentive host, he kept us at home during our holidays after Christmas, the villa was of superior quality where you can rest and be calm about how it is in photos it really is, the Great Jacuzzi area;  and Marty's breakfasts a delight and a delicious varied menu.  You won't regret coming to the white house because absolutely everything is great.  Marty has recommendations for great places and beaches for you.  Thanks Marty for your excellent service and attention.  Keep it up!!!  SEE YOU SOON

Thanks, Ignacio & Sofia for your kind words. We really enjoyed meeting you, hosting you and testing our breakfast treats out on you as our first official guests. :) Pura Vida!
