Casa Sol - Iconic Sunlit Beach House on Marine Parade with Stunning Mauao and Ocean Views
Casa Sol - House of the Sun
Set on Marine Parade with Mauao rising ahead and the ocean just across the road, Casa Sol is a laid-back beach house that feels straight out of a classic Mount summer.
The space
Built in the early 2000s and filled with light, this three-storey home has a relaxed, slightly retro charm - think old-school vibe, big windows, and an easy flow that makes family holidays effortless.
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge form the heart of the home, opening toward the sea so you can cook, chat, and watch the waves all at once. Upstairs, the queen room looks directly to Mauao and the surf, perfect for slow starts and morning coffee. The master bedroom includes a comfortable king bed and ensuite, while the third bedroom has two singles. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and there’s a lift if you’d rather skip the stairs.
Outside, the beach track, surf breaks, and coastal walkway are just across the road. Stroll to cafés and local favourites, or wander down to the base of the Mount for your morning climb. New World and the main street are only minutes away.
Casa Sol is the home on the right-hand side; we also manage the home next door, Casa Mar. The two share a mirrored layout - book both together for up to twelve guests, ideal for extended family trips where everyone’s close but still has their own space.
You’ll find all the comforts covered: fast Wi-Fi, garage parking, laundry facilities, crisp linens, and the steady hum of the sea just beyond your window.
Please note: several upgrades and updates have been made since the photos were taken.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the beachfront location and had a great stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon.
The communication and updates from the hosts were fabulous, and we were able to have a late check out with no troubles. The location was superb, right across from the beach and the view was a delight. The house itself is a little tired with wear and tear, it could definitely do with some attention, however was comfortable and housed our group of 6 easily.
