ON THE SAND! Chuns Reef Beach House - Oceanfront Studio - A/C - Beach Toys

****Please note this property may not be rented for less than 30 consecutive days. Rental prices will not be reduced or adjusted based on the number of days the rental is actually used or occupied. Please inquire regarding availability for stays from 5 to 30 days.

Beach House sits on a beautiful 10,000 square foot lot with 130 feet of direct ocean frontage. The home is located on a corner lot with sand surrounding more than half of the home. The home is perfectly located halfway between Waimea Bay and Haleiwa town on Oahu's famous North Shore. The home was originally constructed as the Laniakea Train Station in the late 1800's. The home is raised above the winter surf on large cement pillars and because it was originally constructed many years ago it is built much closer to the beach than most North Shore beachfront homes.

Chuns Reef Beach House has one of the best locations on the North Shore with a beautiful white sandy beach at your doorstep. Once you open the gate, the sand is just steps away. We provide lots of beach toys for the use of our guests including sand chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, soft top surfboards, paddle boards, kayaks, and coolers. Chuns Reef is the best spot for water activities on the North Shore during the calm summer months!!!! The calm summertime reef is perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddle board and beginner surf lessons. Tide pools in front of the home can provide hours of exploration for the little ones.

There is amazing world class surf in front of the property during the winter months. Two surf cams are located on the property. To check the surf directly in front of the property please view Chuns and Jackos surf spots on surfline.com.

***THIS IS A SHARED PROPERTY. THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE PRIVATE UNITS ON THE PROPERTY*** Each unit is self contained and completely separate from the other units. All units have their own private lanai. You rarely see other guests unless they are in the common areas.

The oceanfront studio is very secluded from the rest of the home and is tucked away on the lower level of the property with an amazing covered beachfront lanai. The oceanfront studio is cut into the lava rocks and is located under the house. Because it is surrounded on three sides by rock, it makes it extremely private. The covered lanai has spectacular beachfront views of the ocean. There is a beautiful hammock, teak bar table and chairs and Balinese daybed located on the lanai to capture the best views of the surf. It is just feet from the sand.

The oceanfront studio is a large studio with a beautiful king teak Balinese canopy bed with a comfortable pillow top mattress. All beds feature down comforters and pillows along with fresh white linens. The studio features a fully equipped kitchenette with countertop burner, Cusinart microwave oven, Cusinart coffee maker and Breville countertop oven. There is a sitting area with a down blend slipcover sofa and 46' Sony flat screen TV. There is a small round teak dining table with 2 chairs. The bathroom features a shower. There is also a childrens bunk bed for two.

The home is furnished with beautiful Balinese furnishings.

**PROFESSIONAL AIR CONDITIONING (NOT a window AC). The studio gets very nice and COLD. **

** Please note that ceilings are low with 6’ clearance. **

High speed wireless internet is provided throughout the property.

There is a front load washer and dryer for guest use. Gas BBQ on the lanai.

Amazing!!

My wife and I visited for our 20th anniversary and absolutely loved the property and the access to all the North Shore has to offer. With Haleiwa just down the street and all the snorkeling to the north we found plenty of fun things to do while also being able to relax on the beach right outside the door. We are already talking about when we could come back with our family.

Chuns reef beach house

My husband and I absolutely loved Chuns reef. The studio was perfect for the two of us. It was very private and we loved the easy access to the beach. The abundance of water accessories, chairs, ice chests etc was greatly appreciated. My favorite was the outdoor patio, hammock, and amazing views. We hope to visit again.

North Shore Paradise

Our stay at the oceanfront studio basement apartment at Chuns Reef Beach was absolutely wonderful! The ocean is literally steps away, and the view is absolutely priceless! Our family of 4 felt cozy and right at home. Spent most of the time on amazing lanai! Super equipped for everything you'll need. Don't be afraid to cook, we did and it was perfect. We will miss the sound of the ocean waves lulling us to sleep each night!

An absolute DREAM!!!!

My boys and I are truly grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at such a magical place. From the moment we arrived, we were all so happy with everything your bungalow on the beach had to offer. From the paddle boards, surfboards, snorkel gear, and beach chairs to the hot tub and grill, we enjoyed every bit of it. The interior was immaculate and the lanai was a beautiful relaxing spot for all. The location was the best place I could of asked for as we were never far from all the places the boys wanted to visit. So blessed, we never wanted to leave but we are planning to come back🌈🌺❤️

Dirty 30 Birthday Trip

Beautiful property. Amazing location. I loved being right on the beach. Didn’t feel the need to reach out to the host during my stay but she was very good with communication pre-trip. We spent most of our time in the North Shore and found the location to be very convenient for our travels. Loved seeing the sea turtles on Chuns Reef Beach. It was the perfect little piece of paradise for our trip. If you are not a fan of pests, do not book because it is right on the beach/lava rocks and you will definitely see some lil critters. If you’re okay with a few lil critters, then it is the perfect place for you. Loved having all of the toys and being able to take them directly on the beach and back. Very convenient!

The best compound

This property was even better than the photos. Absolutely gorgeous views, all the boards, toys, beach stuff you could ever need. The unit was fully stocked with anything you could possibly need and the grounds were extremely well kept. Michelle was great to work with and Diane was extremely sweet and social. We enjoyed every minute, did not want to leave and can’t wait to make it back.

Paddle out to Chun's

What an amazing place!! A private suite on the ocean with a private gate/passageway right onto Chun's Beach. Sit in the jacuzzi on the manicured grounds and watch the sun set into the ocean. Well equipped kitchenette with everything you'd need with multiple gas grills on the grounds. Soft-top surfboards, boogie-boards, snorkeling gear, chairs, towels, etc. all available for your use. A turn-key spot with an amazing setting, the best on the North Shore!

Perfect location and amazing views!

This property was perfect! The beds were comfy and it was very clean...but the views...they were just unbelievable. We spent most of our time out on the lanai enjoying the surfers and whales out front. The hot tub was great after a full day of sightseeing. The location is perfect too. Close to all of the fun stuff on the North Shore. We loved the Sunrise Shack for breakfast and Ajlimo or Seven Brothers for dinner. Michelle was super easy to work with and always very prompt at communicating. We would have stayed forever! Thank you for sharing your space with us and we can't wait to come back!

This trip was booked for a co worker's work trip and he raved so much about the property and the owners. Such peace and enjoyment during his stay and not to mention the beautiful location. He was so thankful for the opportunity and said it was beyond incredible. He was def a fan and recommends this to anyone looking for lowkey relaxation and beauty.

Paradise found!

My husband and I visited the North Shore for the first time, for our 20 year wedding anniversary. We didn’t have a lot of knowledge of the lay of the land and that area, so searching for a great place to stay can take hours and hours of research. If you’re seeing this in your search, look no more, this is the spot! We stayed in the one bedroom ocean front studio, that offers a private beach front patio with hammock, a table to enjoy our morning coffee and the best views of the ocean, rainbows, palm trees, sunrise skies and the most beautiful sunsets! The Chun’s Reef House has a hot tub that we enjoyed and a private beach entrance. There was everything you needed to play at the beach! Included were two kayaks, SUP’s, surfboards, beach chairs, coolers and beach toys! Everything was top notch. The bedding was so super comfortable, I’m planning to purchase for my own home. You have a full kitchenette and refrigerator. We made our own breakfast and coffee, most days, that we enjoyed from the patio. There is a nice cooling air conditioner, cable and Wi-Fi. Lastly, the location was so conveniently located to all of the great surf spots like Waimea Bay, Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Chun’s Reef also has a wave that my husband rode most days. You’re about a mile and half one way to the charming historic town of Haleiwa, where we dined shopped and hung out. (Banzai Sushi, Haleiwa Joe’s and the tropical margs at Cholo’s we’re some of our faves). And, in the other direction you’re about two miles from Foodland grocery store, to stock up the kitchen. Some travelers stop at Costco in Honolulu and bring in groceries. Another must try, in this direction is Ted’s Bakery. We loved the garlic shrimp and macadamia nut pie. You’re also just a few miles away from Turtle Bay Resort that has two golf courses (Palmer and Fazio). The communication with Michelle, before, during and even after our stay was seamless and super prompt. And I can’t forget to mention the amazing Diane who helps keep the place tidy and clean. We got to meet her on our last day. She gave us a tour of the house accommodations above the studio, which is lovely and super spacious for a family of four or more. We will definitely return to Chun’s Reef with our family in the future. I have shared this location with many people since returning, to help save them research time, for a perfect piece of paradise on the North Shore!

Oceanfront Paradise

Wonderful place! Everything was exactly as advertised (though the pics don't do it justice) - this place lacks nothing inside and out. The lanai is perfect - daybed, table and a hammock....will miss morning coffee watching the early surfers. This is a gated property right next to a terrific beach, with a private locked gate and path down to the sand. Every beach toy and convenience is made available to you. Beautiful common area with great views but we were in love with the lanai. Can't imagine a better location. Communication with Michelle was easy. "Butters" the outdoor cat greeted us each day. Thanks for a perfect vacation.
