Ilikai Collection # 6.Luxury & beachfront location

Dainora allowed us an easy check in which we greatly appreciated. The bed was super comfy. The location is a little noisy with traffic below for any light sleepers, but overall was a nice stay.

Oceanfront Sunsets! Free Parking included

TravisRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We very much enjoyed our stay at this condo. The view of the water and marina were lovely and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We found the backpack beach chairs to be super helpful as the beach is just a few steps away from the complex. Thanks for offering a great place to stay at Waikīkī beach.

Beachside Bliss: Steps to the Sand *legal rental*

SebastianRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Perfect place to spend a week in Honolulu. Really convenient location in Waikiki without feeling crowded or too loud. Within walking distance of many wonderful restaurants, stores, and beaches. The place also had a decent amount of space to store items/luggage, stretch out, and not feel cramped. Clean and cozy. John was communicative, attentive, and focused on making sure we were comfortable and had a pleasant stay. I would be happy to stay here again and recommend to friends without hesitation.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the condo. Every morning we would have coffee on the lanai and enjoy the view. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of supplies for cooking a light meal. We also walked to town a couple of times which was fun. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place.

Oceanfront Dream Home (Car & Parking Available)

JeremyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
When I walked into Weili's place, all I could think was, "wow!" The view is incredible and along with it comes a spacious patio where you have all the space you need to lounge and relax (make sure you leave time on your itinerary to do just that!). The bed was very comfortable, as was the space in general. The shower is amazing! I appreciated that anything I needed to cook with was available and Weili was very proactive with instructions, recommendations, etc. The location is incredible and it was such a treat having access to the beach chairs and towels Weili offers. All in all, 5 stars on everything, ESPECIALLY Weili! She was a masterclass in communicating and being available to answer any questions I had. I HIGHLY recommend this place and can't wait to come back!!

Ocean View w/ 2 private balconies; 100ft to Beach

DrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We will stay here again. This studio has more usable space than many bigger units thanks to the well-designed layout and patio space. Ryan was thoughtful and responsive, and the unit is well stocked with beach supplies and a small but still useful kitchenette. We made breakfast at home each day before heading out. The bed was super comfortable as was the climate control. The view is amazing. Be aware that the neighborhood is loud with the Hula Cafe, trucks, busses, motorcycles, and muscle cars below. That noise though largely waned between 11pm and 5 am.

Home Away From Home In Paradise

MeaganRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our family and extended family (total 11) all met in Hawaii for our first Mele Kalikimaka. Everything about Michael and Maria's home was perfect. They are beautiful human beings as well. The home description and pictures aligned with the listing. The location got us out and away from the busyiness of the city life. Local food trucks, food carts, close to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and we were blessed watching the Eddie International surf competition live. The drive to our scuba dives were about an hour away, but we enjoyed the scenic drive to and from each time. Mahalo!

Marriott Ko Olina-Beautiful 2 Bedroom villa

BradRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The Marriott at Ko Olina in Hawaii is a wonderful location. There’s lots to do nearby — or you can simply stay on the premises and take advantage of their pools and the ocean. We were there with multiple grandchildren and they loved it, too.

If you are looking for a place to get away from tourism and relax this was a great spot. Newly remodeled, nicely done. 5-7 min walk to what was essentially a private beach. Was also a ritz Carlton hotel 5-7 min walk away with pretty good outdoor restaurant.

Our experience was above and beyond anything we have encountered before. Our questions were answered promptly. Our requests were considered and accommodated if possible. Alternative solutions were suggested if our requests could be met in a different way. The staff at the Beach Villas were outstanding especially Sherry and Neal. Our special celebration with family was an exceptional and memorable event thanks to Gabriel and the staff at the Beach Villas. We can’t thank you enough!

Paradise Getaway Only 2-Min Drive From The Beach!

Jin SuRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed our stay! Easy access to several beaches. Our favorite was the Pokai Beach. It was great to have the front and back patios and having the BBQ was awesome. It was our first time staying in Wainae (not our first time in Oahu) and all of us were saying we would come back to this area again because it was so laid back. Nicolas was very friendly and responsive.

Thank you Adriana, we loved staying at your place! You had so many things for our daughter to use at the beach, the chairs and umbrella were so helpful. The fresh fruit and cookies you left for us was very generous. Fresh oranges from your tree in the back. Adriana is a great host, responsive and lead us to the local hotspots which were breathtaking! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and stay again. Mahalo

Your guide to O‘ahu

Introduction

Home to the state capital of Honolulu, the iconic stretch of Waikiki Beach, the somber history of the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and the awe-inspiring power of North Shore breaks, Oahu remains a popular destination on the Hawaiian Islands. The most populated of the islands, Oahu still retains much of Hawaii’s traditional culture and iconic tropical beauty while also being the epicenter of new local talent and culture. Shopping options are numerous, the dining scene perpetually evolving. Oahu’s diversity, combined with the island’s laid-back attitude and more than enough majestic natural beauty, makes this a getaway destination where you can still feel connected to the world.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in O‘ahu

Most of Oahu is graced with pleasant temperatures that have made the Hawaiian Islands the definition of paradise, typically hovering between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so there isn’t a bad time to book one of the island’s vacation rentals. The western Leeward Coast is drier, while the greener Windward Coast on the eastern side receives more precipitation. Waikiki is mostly dry and sunny, but the sudden appearance of intermittent drizzle or light rain is not uncommon, so bringing a lightweight jacket while exploring the island is never a bad idea.


Top things to do in O‘ahu

Diamond Head State Monument

Besides the highly developed strip of Waikiki Beach, there’s no more iconic site on Oahu than the 300,000-year-old Diamond Head volcanic cone standing over the city. The park’s small fee (for Hawaii nonresidents) allows visitors to trek up scenic trails and a series of stairs along the exterior slope of the crater, rising to a panoramic view of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean below. The journey up can become crowded, so plan to arrive early before the tour buses, and remember to bring cash for the walk-in entry fee.

Pearl Harbor National Memorial

A short boat ride brings visitors from the shore right up to the remnants of the USS Arizona, the site where 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines perished during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This place of solemn remembrance which includes the USS Arizona Memorial program, the visitor center, and museums, is free to all visitors.

Banzai Pipeline

In winter the Banzai Pipeline (or Pipe, as it’s colloquially known) along the island’s North Shore regularly produces titanic waves that break to form equally epic tubes for surfers to brave. Even if you’re not a fan of surfing, the majestic power of these waves is sure to impress.
