1 BR Apt In Waikiki with Canal & Mountain View
Tommy's Airbnb was clean, spacious, comfortable and in a great location. Timmy was very responsive when we reached out to him with questions. My family and I enjoyed our stay.

WaikikiLux 507
Thank you for this beautiful stay!

Basic Studio 🏝 1 Block To The Beach! Legally Zoned
Very close to the beach like literally two minute walk, musubi Café right around the corner, marugame couple blocks away, very close to the strip the end of the strip. Will definitely try rent here again. Parking is a bitch, but I park at the canal every day. Don’t forget to move your car Monday and Friday. There’s no parking right outside of the building but you can stop there for a little bit and if you do get a ticket it’s only $35 might not be a bad option. lol

16 FREE Parking/Ocean 1b Waikiki
Wonderful space, loved the patio, perfect air conditioning. Tons of walkable beaches, and the pools were amazing as well. Really loved the restaurant located in the lobby, tons of things to do close by.

Aloha Suite Near the Sea III 3 Block Walk to Beach
The place is as advertised and Peter was a gracious host. It was well stocked with everything I needed for a visit to Hawaii and is in a great walkable location. Check in was a breeze!

Design Panoramic Ocean view apartment.
Place was great and so was the host, always quick to respond and provide you with whatever you needed. Location was very calm and easy to get to the beach and/or other common attractions. The views were very nice also, the Airbnb was just as described. Would definitely consider coming right back to this place if I were to ever return to Honolulu. Thank you!

*Chic & Cozy studio steps from Waikiki Beach
Lovely spot your in the middle of it all the beach shops and restaurants. The unit was easy to find and it was a lot quieter than I thought it was going to be. The unit was clean and updated. Would highly recommend this property.

Bellaria Studio in Oceanfront Building
Beautiful place. immaculate. Great location with view of fireworks every Friday and city lights and right around the corner from lagoon and the sea. Had everything I could need for my month there and was well thought out. ANGIE IS AWESOME as well 🌴🌈

Waikiki Gem, Stunning Ocean View, Parking Included
Charlie’s place was just as pictured & more! The space is a corner unit located on the second highest floor & has beautiful views over looking the ocean, Waikiki beach, city & the mountains. The unit was very clean, perfectly designed & easily walkable to the beach & local restaurants. It was a perfect rental for our first trip to Hawaii & Charlie is an amazing helpful host!

Kailua Beach Park - 1 BR Cottage
Wow. This spot is the perfect location for three beaches: Kailua, Kalama, and Lanikai. Each one offers amazing views and sandy areas. You can do some snorkeling at Kailua or Lanikai. The Lanikai Pillbox Trail is a good one. The cottage had everything that I could need. The beach towel, cooler, and laundry were particularly valuable amenities for me. Thank you!

Lanikai Ohana Hale: Tropical Cottage w/Pool, Lanai
We loved this place! It was definitely one of the more reasonable cost rentals in the Lanikai neighborhood but it didn’t disappoint. A few things of note: - the appliances are high end KitchenAide and Bosch. The cooktop is a two burner induction that you can put away when not in use. Toaster oven as well. Compact dishwasher and fridge is a one drawer fridge/ one drawer freezer that fits under counter - ample beach towels. Also beach chairs and umbrellas. - the pool was wonderful - less than 10 min walk to Lanikai Beach - do the pillbox hike up the ridge behind you if you want a good workout! We loved our week here. Always planned to cook out on the Weber grill but didn’t end up doing so. The patio was awesome at the end of each day and for morning coffee. Neighborhood was safe. Met the pest control guy and the pool guy while we were here- both really friendly. Would definitely choose this place again.

LAST MIN Lagoon Tower by Hilton- 2 bedroom Aloha
Hilton Village is easy. Has everything you could need or want so you don’t spend time driving all over in Honolulu traffic! We wanted to arrive and park it! This place allowed us to do just that!!

Golf Course View - 2 Bed and 2.5 Bathrooms
This was a great place to stay. Others had mentioned the airplane noise but we slept perfectly without a bother. The patio was enjoyable to sit and relax. If I could request anything it would be a washer and dryer, but other than that it was good. Very friendly and was helpful.

Tropical Hideaway Near the Beach
Shirley's place had everything we needed and was a wonderful place to be for our vacation. Shirley was easy to communicate with and friendly. The space was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is tiny home sized (as pictured) and it had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Cozy Guesthouse Central Oahu
Very clean accommodations. Nice central location to Pearl Harbor and airport. Rangel always responded to my questions quickly

Modern Family Beach Villa near shops and dining
A comfortable home that is perfect for a family with kids who want to stay near the beach and away from the bustle of Waikiki. We enjoyed having easy access to the lagoons and marina in Ko Olina and the house was a good home base for adventures around Oahu. The information provided was useful and our co-host was quick to respond and helpful when we had questions.

Free Parking, WiFi, AC, Comfy Beds, and Great View
Kenny was a great host for our stay. His instructions really helped in checking in. He also provided extra towels and beach stuff . we really loved the view from our bedroom. Would definitely come back next time .

* Newly Renovated * Waikiki Beachside Retreat
We had an amazing time staying at this Waikiki gem! The location was unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The unit was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed, including beach towels and chairs, which were a nice bonus. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and convenient place to stay in Honolulu!

Private 2 Bed 2 Bath 2 Lanai
William's pad was conveniently located and clean. He was extremely accommodating and there were some nice bonuses like snorkeling gear and boogie boards that saved us from spending extra on activities. Waikiki can tend to be overly touristy, so it was quite nice to stay a block or two from the busiest streets. Lots of food and beach options in walking distance. We would definitely stay with William again.

DIAMOND ON DIAMOND HEAD
We had a great stay here for 3 nights, the unit is small but has everything you need, including A/C in the bedroom for a comfortable sleep. The shower is tight and might be an issue for tall people but was fine for us. The neighbourhood has plenty of amenities within walking distance and although it's a bit longer of a walk, you can walk to Waikiki beach area. The included parking spot was very much appreciated although next time we would probably get a smaller vehicle as the side-streets in the area are pretty narrow! Would definitely stay again as this spot provides a great location just outside the hustle and bustle of the main beach area.

Steps to Waikiki Beach&Surf. In the Heart of Town.
It was such a cute place to stay and has a really good location close to everything you might need!

Honu Suite at La Bella’s-Walk to Beach-Licensed
Overall, the place matched the description, so 5 stars for accuracy. However, the gym was extremely dirty — I understand it's outdoors, but after kneeling down to stretch, my knees were pitch black from the mats. Some of the equipment, like the resistance bands, were brittle and broken due to being left out in the elements, which was a bummer since the gym was one of the main reasons we chose this stay (we're big into fitness). That aside, the location is good — 10-minute walk to a nearby beach, and conveniently across the street from a Safeway and Starbucks. It’s also a quick drive into town.

King Bed | Ocean View | Steps to Waikiki Beach
An ideal place to stay for your first trip to Hawaii! The location is unbeatable! Perfect if you prefer not to rent a car. Surrounded by incredible restaurants and breathtaking views, it offers everything you need for a memorable getaway. Highly recommended!

Ocean & Marina View Suite
I couldn’t have asked for more , Jason was extremely communicative and mapped everything out easily for us. I couldn’t be more grateful for his hospitality and beautiful home that he welcomed us into.

Your guide to Honolulu
All About Honolulu
As Hawaii’s state capital, the largest city across the islands, and the most remote major city in the world, Honolulu has long been the most famous and popular gateway into the Hawaiian experience. With a population of nearly 1 million residents, Honolulu thrums with diversity and energy, and a lush surrounding landscape and gentle aquamarine shores frame its populous high-rise skyline.
Blessed with a beautiful and swimmable beachfront — Honolulu means "calm port" in Hawaiian — visitors will have a wealth of oceanfront activities to choose from, whether it’s snorkeling in nearby Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve or strolling across Waikiki Beach in the shadow of the city’s most luxurious resorts, or stand-up paddleboarding under the warm glow of a Oahu sunset.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Honolulu
Chances are you’ll never need anything more than a light sweater or jacket to stay warm in Honolulu, where average temperatures typically hover between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm and dry summer weather extends from April through November. The island’s pleasant trade winds cause temperatures to fall only modestly between December and March.
Top things to do in Honolulu
Diamond Head State Monument
The hike up to the 300,000-year-old volcanic Diamond Head Crater would be arduous if the trek wasn’t so breathtakingly beautiful along the way. The reward for those tired legs is a stunning view of Honolulu and the glistening Pacific below that deserves numerous photos for posterity. Just be sure to arrive early to avoid the wave of crowds, bring cash for the walk-in entry fee, and wear a hat and bring water for the hike up.
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
Those hoping to escape from highly developed Waikiki Beach should make their way southeast along the East Honolulu coast. A sheltered and tranquil bay awaits, offering some of the best snorkeling on the island for beginners. Just note: Getting down to the reef requires a 10-minute descent by a steep trail, and there’s a small admission fee (those with disabilities can take a bus down for a smaller fee).
Honolulu Chinatown
If you want to immerse yourself in the scene where Honolulu locals dine, shop, and celebrate, head over to the city's Chinatown district. Many of the best new restaurants helmed by young Hawaiian talent are based in this section of Honolulu, packed with Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese markets and shops. The Maunakea Marketplace food court is recommended for a snack or meal, and numerous galleries and local boutiques further flavor the neighborhood.
