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!
