Ilikai Collection # 6.Luxury & beachfront location
We originally had Dainora's listing on our radar since the local of their place was central with walking distance to the beaches behind the hotel, shopping centers within 15-20 mins of walking, and along with good eateries. Dainora and Remy were communicative throughout our time. They followed up with us with inquiring any concerns and issues, which was all resolved. I loved their hospitality while they provided us access to the garage for a low price. Great place and location! I would book again in the future.

Oceanfront Sunsets! Free Parking included
Randell’s spot was amazing. Would definitely love to stay there again!

Beachside Bliss: Steps to the Sand *legal rental*
Myself and my daughters had a great experience. Everything matched as was listed. Nice and clean place. It felt like home. Would absolutely stay there again. Thank you John!

Beautiful Waikiki Apartment Free Parking*
We totally LOVED this apartment and stayed there for a week. The assigned parking spot gave us full tranquility to park the car without paying extra or searching for spots. The apartment is big and the balcony is great. AC was OK and the kitchen had plenty of amenities, which we used a lot. Located in the heart of Waikiki, walking distance from the beach. Alan was very responsive and helped us with local suggestions and any question we had. The apartment has beach equipment: umbrella, chairs, fins and goggles. We couldn't have asked for more! ;) We would come back over and over again!

Oceanfront Dream Home (Car & Parking Available)
Our first time in Oahu and this place was perfect!!! The views, the location, and the modern/new decor, kitchen, and cleanliness of this place was amazing. Our two kids slept great on the pull out couch and the king bed was very comfortable. Loved that we had access to two beach chairs and an umbrella for our north shore adventure and we rented the car offered and it was the easiest process ever. Highly recommend! We would definitely book again! Aloha!

Ocean View w/ 2 private balconies; Steps to Beach
Our family loved ryan’s place! We were apprehensive about staying in the city but his place with the view made our stay better than expected. (I could enjoy my coffee with all the sounds of the birds) The added bonus of the many beach supplies made our trip with kids so much easier! Would recommend and stay again! 10/10

26 FREE Parking/Ocean Front 2br-Waikiki/Ala Moana
We had a great stay at Anna’s condo unit, which placed us very close to the Waikiki strip and Ala Moana mall. One of the best things was walking across the street to the Hilton lagoon and Waikiki Beach. The condo was as advertised and had great views from both lanais. It was very clean and it even worked out to check in a bit early! A bit of patience is required for the elevators, depending on the time of day. We had a great stay overall and would stay again!

Waikiki Amazing Views 1/1 Beachfront Condo
We had one of the best vacations while staying at Jacqueline’s condos. It was my husband and I and our 12 and 7 year olds kids. The place was spacious enough for the 4 of us, it’s nice that the rooms were separated by a wall with a little door on each side that we can close. Each room had a flat screen tv with anything you can think of (Netflix, Hulu, peacock, Apple TV, etc) which was great to be able to watch our favorite shows after a day at the beach. Kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed, we never ran out of any supplies. A big bonus, beach towels in the closet and beach chairs, surf boards and toys that were on the deck. Jacqueline was a great and welcoming host who responded very quickly to any questions we had. Location was perfect, we love staying near Hilton village since it’s close to everything, including Waikiki beach and restaurants which was a quick 20 mins walk. Every Friday you can see fireworks right outside of the lobby. Parking is $45 a day, vallet only.

@Marbella Lane - Elegant 3BR w/ Marvelous Views
The house is located in a clean, secure and gated community. The house was very clean, well equipped and the neighborhood was very quiet. The host was responsive and communicated well. Our family truly enjoyed the space and would definitely consider this home again!

One of a kind Beach front 2brm ocean and mnt views
Cleanest place I've ever rented and the most beautiful views! so quiet and just a few steps through the yard to the beach! We enjoyed everything about the Condo! Bed was comfy too! We hope to come back to the same unit again some day!!

Turtle Bay Retreat: Boho Bliss on the North Shore
Really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were very good at communicating and made it very easy to get a late checkout worked out with them. The place is in a great area with nice pools nearby. The place is a little small but was described that way. I’d recommend staying here. The only negative was the WiFi stopped working after the first night so we weren’t really able to use the TV the last couple night. It was a little frustrating but everything else was wonderful.

Marriott Ko Olina-Beautiful 2 Bedroom villa
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.

Slice of Paradise-3BR- Sleeps10-same $ for 2 as 10
Great place to stay with family. The place definitely needs to restock with new cooking pans and a new iron for clothes. Other than that they have plenty of equipment for the beach and towels .

Honu Hideout at Turtle Bay
We had the most memorable family vacation staying at Joel’s place on the North Shore of Oahu. Our family of four absolutely loved the location—just a short walk to Turtle Bay Resort, where we enjoyed grabbing coffee each morning and occasional lunches or dinners. The house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for beach days, from chairs to toys and more. The beds were super comfortable, and having air conditioning in the unit made our stay even more comfortable. We especially appreciated the quiet area right out the back door where our kids could safely play and enjoy the outdoors. It truly felt like a home away from home. 5-star stay—highly recommend!

The Sunset Villa at Ko Olina, BeachTower, sleeps 5
We had a lovely stay at Melissa’s condo in Ko Olina. We visited for a friend’s wedding at the four seasons. The location was perfect as we were able to walk to and from the wedding. Also within walking distance were the Aulani resort for families who like Disney and a few restaurants. The condo is situated right on the beach in a resort with a couple of pools ( which we did not ). The condo was sparkling clean, well outfitted with beach gear, and it was great to have a designated parking spot, 24-hr front desk, and well-equipped gym. Would stay again if we ever return to Oahu.

North Shore Oahu Getaway at Turtle Bay Resort
Everything was in pristine condition. Lots of great beach amenities in the unit. Beautiful bathroom, convenient washer/dryer. Unit was everything it was listed to be. Host has many kitchen/cooking items that are convenient.

Westside Hawaiian Sanctuary-New Home w/ 24hr Gated
Charles Place was perfect for for my family. The outdoor space was amazing , we sat outside almost every day to enjoy the beautiful weather, view, and we loved the BBQ and fire pit to sit around. All bathrooms were stocked with stuff that you sometimes forget on vacation. The beds were very comfy. Kitchen was very modern. We loved the water filter attached to the sink this made it easy for us to get water at anytime. The space comes along with plenty of beach supplies for 8 people which was very nice. The local beach was only a 5 minute drive from the property. Not a lot of restaurants but honestly the drive around the island was beautiful which distracted you from the drive time. Charles is an amazing responsive host which made it very easy to express any questions we had . We will definitely stay again if we come back to this island. Thanks for the great stay !

Waikiki Gem, Stunning Ocean View, Parking Included
This was by far our favorite Airbnb of all the ones we've been to! Gorgeous views looking both at the ocean, city, golf course, and even a bit of the Diamond trail. We were surprised to see that this spot was the second to the highest floor and at the corner of the building which means BEST VIEWS ALL AROUND! The parking was a bit difficult if you were on the opposite side of the road. It'll take you in circles so once you find the entrance just make a left at the median or U-turn at the light then you're there! The spot itself is amazing with a beautiful balcony and view from every single room, except the bathroom. All the amenities were included inside and much more! It was very well decorated and clean and nothing was difficult to use or find. Everything was walkable. Tons of activities and restaurants and especially ABC stores!! if you're taking a rental car then everything is accessible. Again BY FAR our favorite Airbnb listing! Must book!!!

Large family home 5 min from beach- newly built
Garret was a great host, very responsive and friendly. Had a great stay at his place, very close to the beach. The views are amazing around the home and had everything we needed at the house.

Manoa Cottage with Diamond Head Lanai View
We had a great stay in this Manoa Valley home. The house was spacious, airy, and perfect for our group of four. Two bedrooms had working ACs; the one in the main living area didn’t, but opening windows/doors or using bedroom ACs worked well. Two bathrooms were a big plus! Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided—very convenient. The washer and dryer in the unit were amazing, and having beach toys to borrow was a fun bonus. Parking was easy and convenient, right next to the house. Hosts Eric and Miranda were friendly and quick to respond. The large couch in the living room isn’t a sleeper sofa but was fine to sleep on, with extra linens available. The only downside was the floor cleanliness—our feet got dirty fast despite the no-shoes rule. A better clean before arrival would make a big difference. Otherwise, a really comfortable, well-equipped place—we’d happily return!

Waimea Bay, North Shore - Walk to beach!
This space was perfect for my stay- it had everything i needed. Location was incredible and hosts were super responsive!!

Beautiful 4-BR Home| Near Beach| Mountain View
House is great, clean easy to find and access. Location is a little far out of town, but in a beautiful setting with mountains and you can see the ocean if the back sitting area

Ocean View Vacation Home
This was our first time visiting Oahu as a family. The hosts were friendly and we enjoyed having the space to ourselves with a washer and dryer on site. We do appreciate how clean things were and the beach accessories that were available to use under the stairs. Plenty of beach towels, and bedding and we loved the location. You can also vaguely see the ocean from the kitchen window. Things to consider -windows need to be shut and locked while away. By the time we returned and opened windows by 6pm it was too hot to cook dinner and there was little breeze to cool the space. We made sure to pick up something to eat prior to returning. We were warmer than we liked sleeping at night but survived -don’t sleep with windows open if sensitive to noise. There’s a rooster that goes off throughout the night. -The Airbnb is the bottom floor of a house so you do hear footsteps occasionally, and the parking is up a tight, narrow driveway on a hill which accommodates one car at a time up and down

"Coconut Crest Cottage"
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Sora’s Coconut Cottage. The calm neighborhood and walk ability to nearby cafes was appreciated! Overall the house was comfortable and suited our needs well. Thank you for hosting us! 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.
