Escape to Casa Playa de Los Osos (The Beach House of the Bears)
Welcome to your private sanctuary. When you book Casa Playa de Los Osos, you get exclusive use of this entire 3-bedroom holiday home, complete with panoramic ocean views, a full family bathroom, and a convenient extra toilet.
From the moment you slide open the glass doors, the stress of the city dissolves. Shake up an espresso martini at your dedicated cocktail station, step onto the expansive timber deck, and watch the sun set over the sweeping coastline of Doubtless Bay.
You haven’t just booked a vacation rental; you’ve arrived at a classic Kiwi holiday home that perfectly blends relaxed coastal charm with the modern, premium perks you actually need.

Welcome to our personal haven. As your hosts, Paul & Darryl (aka "The Bears"), we designed this home as our ultimate escape from Auckland life. It’s not a sterile hotel; it’s a home filled with art, character, and the things we love most: excellent coffee, spectacular views, and total relaxation.

Casa Playa de los osos | Coopers Beach Sea Views

We had an awesome stay. Great facilities and location. Everything we needed and more in the house. Little added extras were lovely touch.

Was great to get back to after a long day at the beach or from an outing.

Nice view of the bay, well stocked house (with towels, books, toys, condiments, etc), very comfortable, warm/cool and clean. They also had good beach chairs & snorkeling gear which we didnt need, but good to know its available.

Great spot, all the amenities you need for a holiday home.

😀 I could live here. Cosy home, with everything you could need generously provided. Lovely elevated view of the Harbour. Quiet and private. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated the heat pumps cooling mode. With 5 of us staying, 2 toilets was handy.
☹️ If the single bed could be stretched to a king single our 6 foot 1 son would have fitted better, but he was still comfortable.

Perfect for our needs. Thanks so much to our hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house has a great vibe, and is just a short walk to Cooper's beach, which is one of our favourite beaches. A highlight every day was walking into the living area in the morning and being greeted by that fantastic view of Doubtless Bay. The house is light, airy, and very comfortable. We'll be back!

Just a short walk to Coopers Beach

Highly recommend - would absolutely stay again. We plan to!
A comfortable and well equipped home just a few minutes walk from a stunning beach. Love the amazing views from the deck, which is perfect for breakfast, coffee, or cocktails. A truly special place to visit.
