The skinny: Five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, 10,740-square-foot house on 1.5 acres in White Rock.
 
The bling: Everyone needs a little beachfront home for the weekends, right? Somewhere to let your hair down and reconnect with your closest 100 or so friends at outrageously debauched pool parties. Well, this White Rock manor may be just the play palace you have been looking for—your own mini Ibiza conveniently situated on the Costa del Surrey. It’s the closest thing to a full on pleasure pit you’re likely to find in Metro Vancouver and yet far enough from civilization to let you blow in and blow out without being recognized. This, after all, is your bit on the side, your local Las Vegas—once you’re through those delightful dolphin gates, anything goes. The fact you have to drive through Surrey to get there just adds a touch of excitement for you and your crew: just crank up the Coldplay and head off to paradise, baby.
 
The hidden extras: Air conditioning, media room, games room, koi pool, multi-car garage, ocean views.
