Chuns Reef Beach Estate sits on a lot of approximately 20,000 sq ft, with 180 feet of ocean frontage. It is located three miles from Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Haleiwa town, on the famous North Shore surf spot and snorkeling beach at Chuns Reef.
It's unique position as a point home on the edge of Chun's Reef Beach means there are neighbors on only one side. The hills behind the home are undeveloped lending the neighborhood an open rural atmosphere.
Outside, there is an exercise area, gated access to the beach and two private patios (lanais).
Like most of the homes in the area, ours is built next to the Kamehameha Highway, a two lane country road which offers the only access to the North Shore's famous beaches. The home has double insulated walls, so you can't hear the traffic from inside. In general, traffic moves at a relaxed pace, but it can slow down dramatically with surf competitions or winter swells. The whole island tilts to the North Shore! Even the local people come to see the big waves!
Surfing in the area is world class. Chuns Reef is directly in front of the house, with seven famous surf breaks nearby, suiting beginners to experienced riders.
When the surf is small, snorkeling is excellent on the reefs near the home. There is a great diversity of marine life and tropical fish species. And then there are the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, who have chosen to pick just our reef for 30 years on Oahu. They crawl up on the sand to bathe in the sun; sometimes you'll see ten or twenty in a day. (Lately, the tour buses have picked up on our beach as being a hot spot; on weekends we sometimes have more traffic to see the sea turtles.)
Outdoor equipment is provided for the enjoyment of all our guests, at no charge. At time of writing, this includes:
* kayaks with life vests
* 2 stand up paddle/surf boards
* 12 foot soft top surf boards & regular surf boards
* boogie boards, masks, fins and snorkels
* beach toys & coolers
* rolling & plastic beach chairs
* beach mats & folding tables
* exercise equipment & fishing equipment on site
The property also has a shared outdoor exercise area. Gas and coal BBQs are available for outdoor entertaining for each unit.
Two washers and dryers are shared between the units. All linens are provided, including beach & bath towels.
There is secure parking for one car for each unit in the driveway, and there is a bus stop in front of the home. There is a very old thick rock wall surrounding the property, with mature foliage, adding a measure of privacy and shielding the property from road noise. The property has monitored security cameras and a motion light system. There is a private gated walkway with four steps to the white sand beach.
The garden pond cottage began it's existence as the smoke house for the Laniakea train station. Pineapple and sugarcane workers set the train station alight while cooking their BBQ lunch, around the turn of the century. They decided that it was better to make fire in a separate structure! Today this is a detached cottage next to the rock wall and highway. It still has the original BBQ in the closet, and the original train station bathroom.
The cottage has an ocean view and is across the driveway from the white sand beach. It was remodeled in May of 2006 and is very clean and well maintained.
The cottage has a small bedroom and kitchen, and a private bathroom with bathtub. Bedroom and kitchen are attached; the private bathroom is an eight foot walk down a covered pathway. The unit has fan and air conditioner. Two sets of sliding glass doors and main door allow cross ventilation by trade winds.
The cottage has a bench and table in the living/ kitchen room. It also has a private patio covered with a fish pond/ waterfall and a small dining table and two chairs.
In addition there is a private covered small patio on the beach for the studio.
The bathroom walkway has security and motion detectors lights on the walk all the way to and from the cottage. The walkway has indirect lighting on from 6 to 10PM. In 30 years we have not had a problem. And we have even had handicapped. We do provide a bathrobe.
The bedroom has a queen bed and large TV. The kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffeemaker, small hotel refrigerator etc. The private bathroom has a shower and bath.
The first patio is on the mountain side of the property, and has a fish pond and small waterfall. The area has lots of plants, and is nestled behind the rock wall. There is a small dining table here, and it's a beautiful place for lunch in the shade. You can hear the road from this area, though.
The second patio area is on the east side of the property, right next to the beach. It's great for a romantic dinner or an oceanfront breakfast. Although, if the winter waves are high, you might get salt spray in your coffee!
