Oahu is known as Hawaii's “Gathering Place” for good reason. It is the most populous of all the islands and attracts visitors from all around the world to its sparkling beaches, abundance of activities, and colorful local flavor. If you're heading to Oahu on your next vacation, the best way to experience the island like one of the locals is by staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel. Imagine waking up to enjoy the sunrise on the deck of your stunning beachfront house, or a luxurious rental villa just minutes away from all the action. From condos for one or two, to large houses that sleep six or more, there is a vacation rental to suit any need or budget.

Oahu is the third-largest of the Hawaiian islands, and it is always full of exciting things to do. If you've always wanted to try surfing or scuba diving but haven't had the chance, there are several reputable locations right in the capital city of Honolulu that offer surf or scuba lessons. Also in Honolulu is the famous Hole in the Wall Food Tour, where you can experience the culture and history of Hawaii through its cuisine. Don't forget to check out the 350 acre Diamond Head crater; you might even be able to see it from your plane when landing at the airport! Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach Park are two amazing beach spots located right in Kailua, and of course there is no shortage of other great sights and activities in Oahu.

From spotting whales, dolphins, and turtles on a nature boating tour, to trying out native Hawaiian foods, to swimming in the clear waters of Lanikai Beach, there are endless activities in Oahu that children will find unforgettable. With vacation rentals, it is much easier to bring the entire family without booking extra hotel rooms, and what could be better than renting a spacious beach house with the whole family? Beachfront rental homes in Oahu not only feel luxurious, but they are a comfortable choice for the kids and a smart economical decision. Renting that amazing house of villa will make everyone in the family happy, and ensure there is extra money for all those great Oahu activities.
