House Or Rental

The White House of Costa Rica

We rented the entire property of the White House from Sunday November 25th to Sunday December 2nd. The wedding will be held in the back garden overlooking the ocean. It is directly adjacent to Pranamar Oceanfront Villas. This vacation house is located along the remote Pacific Coastline north of the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. The architectural design draws on the tropical aesthetics of Miami, Thailand, and Costa Rica.

Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)

Book your plane ticket to the international airport in San Jose (SJO), Costa Rica's capital city. If you plan to arrive in Santa Teresa on Sunday, your arrival time should be early to allow time to transfer to Santa Teresa. Optionally, you may arrive Saturday, spend the night in San Jose, and transfer on Sunday. Take any airline into San Jose, Costa Rica, including JetBlue and Southwest! On your way out, stop by the Britt gift shop for all the chocolate samples :-)

Travel Note

CASH

Santa Teresa is a very small town, and everything (except for gas stations, supermarkets, and a couple of restaurants) will be cash payment only. Very few establishments will take credit cards. There are only two ATM machines in town, and they frequently run out of cash. We highly recommend that you to bring enough cash from home for your expenses and unplanned activities.
