****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.

Chuns Reef 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, 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 visit Surfline.com and view Chuns and Jackos surf breaks.

The entire home is furnished with beautiful Balinese furnishings.

Great location and lovely property!

My husband and our 2 kids ( 5 and 8) had an amazing week here. The beds and couches were super comfortable (unlike some rentals we've had in the past), the view was great and having all the water toys available for use was great for the kids. We'll definitely be back!

Great vacation with all the comforts of home

We had a great vacation at Chun's beach house. The location was great being on the beach and the added beach amenities (SUP, boogie boards, surf boards, hot tub etc. was icing on the cake.

A little piece of paradise

Our stay at Chun’s Reef was amazing, we loved every moment! The house is adorable and well-equipped. The staff who handled landscaping and housekeeping checked in and were lovely. You can’t beat the location. We will definitely be back!

Amazing

We spent 5 amazing days at Chun’s Reef Beach in the main house. We got to watch surfers every day, had whale sightings daily and also saw sea turtles. The water is very choppy so I wouldn’t recommend going in the water until the summer months, but the protected volcanic rock tide pools kept our kids entertained for hours. Location is fantastic, property is quite rustic but it just adds to the Hawaiian appeal. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

North Shore Oasis

Michelle’s property is absolutely stunning. The view is breathtaking. Being able to watch the surfers all day was so relaxing. The location is ideal to explore the north shore. We loved the easy access to the beach out front and having the ability to use all the beach toys provided. Really enjoyed the decor, nostalgic style and history of the house. While there are other rental units on the property everyone has their own private area and we barely saw other guests. You can see that Michelle has put a lot of thought and effort into making her place special. We would love to return one day. Don’t hesitate to book this special little oasis!

Chun's Reef Home

Location, location, location...when you think of Hawaii, this is the location you are thinking of. On the shore of one of the most popular beaches in the surfing world, Chun's Reef, this spot is perfect...unmatched!!! The home is a little dated and we could have used a 2nd bathroom, but overall, a fair price for the location. The traffic is a little tough in that area, but to be expected in that part of the North Shore. Michelle, the owner, was easy to get a hold of and Diane saw to your day to day needs. Both ladies were wonderful to work with. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Chun’s Reef Paradise

First time staying in the North Shore & it’s was everything we wanted & needed. Michelle’s home is spectacular with a view to die for. It is decorated with fantastic pieces from all over the world- a collection of beauty and boho style. The house has everything you could possibly need for the beach, picnic or meals prepared at home. Don’t bother packing too much as the washer & dryer are great addition and so very appreciated. We walked to the surf competition and even saw the Eddie.. what an experience. We are already planning our summer trip.. Mahalo Michelle & Diane for all your help, recommendations & care of the home.

Stunning Chun’s Reef Property

Incredible Haleiwa Ocean front home - breathtaking location with magical ocean views. We loved gazing out at the rolling surf, spending time on the front porch, lounging in the living room - all with the million dollar view! The beach and tide pools below were awesome…….exploring or swimming, fishing, or surfing, paddle boarding, or walking down to Laniakea beach to see the large sea turtles…..all so Amazing! The home’s location and convenience to grocery shopping, Kahului sugar mill and food trucks, shrimp trucks, the quaint and cute town of Haleiwa - so much to do, see, and taste! Michelle was responsive, and helpful. If you are looking for an oceanfront North Shore location - look no further, you will not be disappointed! The owner has made so many water sports items available - the outdoor gazebo, showers, and hot tub are added bonuses. Everything is there for you to enjoy a Fabulous and Unforgettable North Shore visit.

Perfect house and location!

My family and I wanted a true “Hawaii Feel” when we visited the island and this house/location was exactly that! You will immensely enjoy this incredible house and its breathtaking views of the ocean while feeling a light, perfect breeze! The house is nestled in the perfect location on the North Shore… close to shopping, food trucks, snorkeling, hiking, and so much more! The owner Michelle is one of the best we have worked with as she is quick to respond and answers any questions you have! Michelle is generous enough to let you use all her beach items like paddle boards, surf boards, snorkels, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. My family was able to save a lot of money that we were expecting to spend, simply by using the things provided! Our daughters are already talking about returning next year and we will most certainly plan our dates around when this house is available! Thank you Michelle for being wonderful!

Amazing views on the North Shore

You simply cannot beat the views of the ocean, watching the surfers from the lanai or hammock or hot tub! The views were amazing, due to some rough surf we did not venture in the water at Chun's Reef Beach but enjoyed watching the surfers. Super easy access into Haleiwa to grab a bite to eat as well. We would definitely return.

Great Beach Vacation

Loved this home. Our experience was great - home met the expectations created from the listing and the owner was very responsive/helpful. The location is amazing at Chums beach. The home is well-appointed with great appliances and beach equipment. There is one fully private bedroom with the other beds in the living space. That worked for our family but may not work for everyone. We had a great holiday at Chums Reef and would consider returning.

Feels like you're on the beach without getting sandy

We loved this beach house! So close to the water we didn't even have to go down to the beach to feel like we were on the beach! Beach was lovely too though. House was just as awesome as the pictures look with everything you need to cook, sleep or play. I didn't need for a thing. Owner was awesome to work with as well and made us feel quite welcome. Highly recomend staying here. Close to the small town as well.

Extremely well equipped inside in every way, great location, wonderfully responsive owner, but what makes this place incredible is that it is basically right at the ocean and the views from the lanai at sunset, at most times watching the surfers, and of the rainbows are unforgettable.

Perfect location, thoughtful amenities

We've stayed in five different north shore properties over the years and this one is by far the best of them all. The location is perfect, on the beach, between Shark's Cove and Haleiwa. Tons of big kid beach toys, a spa, grills, hammock, I can go on and on. The unit is well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Michelle!!

Hidden gem

I hesitate giving this place 5 stars only for the pure selfish reason of too many people booking it and it not being available for our next stay. The house had everything you could need, AC, washer dryer, beautiful location, and tons of toys to use at the beach. We were disappointed that we didn't stay here sooner or longer. There are other tenants on the property but they have a completely separate entrance so you rarely see them except maybe down at the beach.

Paradise on Chun's Reef Beach

This property is the most incredible place we have ever stayed at and we have been traveling to the North Shore for over 25 years. The house sits on an amazing beach and the house has every water and beach toy you could ever imagine! It is hard to leave this beach. There are turtles every day on the shore. The sunsets are the best while sitting in the jacuzzi or having dinner overlooking the ocean. The house is in a great location close to everything. The house even has air conditioning which is hard to find in the Islands. They really have everything at this house you could think of. It was such a great experience working with Michelle and she made it all so easy and comfortable for our vacation. This place is truly paradise on Chun's Reef beach!

Absolute perfection!

The location is perfect with the beach a few steps away and the ocean in your front yard. The house was spacious and very well equipped. No need for rental equipment because Kayaks, boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and even wetsuits and sun hats were supplied. Michelle was available with any questions with a very quick response time. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. The highway in front is pretty busy, but people are good about letting you in. I would highly recommend Chuns reef beach house!

Simply perfect!

This is our second year staying here. We travel quite a bit, domestically and internationally and this is our top place to stay the world over. The setting is idyllic with good waves, beautiful beach, snorkeling, whales, and sunsets literally on the property. The home is gorgeous and well decorated with everything you need to live a normal life and feel at home. Safe secluded and very close to town (30 min walk or 5 min drive).

Amazing house in fantastic location!

This house is amazing. It is in a perfect location and is incredibly comfortable and well stocked for almost any activity, indoor and outdoor. The beds are heavenly and the kitchen has a great selection of nice but durable cookware and dishes. We were happy to see attention to little details - nice Tupperware for leftovers (never found in most rentals but surprisingly helpful), a GREAT blender for daiquiris and pesto, a portable cooler for beach time, great snorkeling gear, outdoor lighting and lots of seating for meals in the lanai. I could go on and on but don’t want this house to be booked too often that we can’t get back in :) The only downside of this location is traffic at certain times of day - which unfortunately was unavoidable for north shore around New Years. We took it as a great opportunity to hang out at our own perfect beach!
