6423 waterfront rentals·30 shores·Every listing on the water·Updated 2026-11-12

Oahu holds Honolulu and most of the state's people, and its rentals are spread thin around the coast. Waikiki is a wall of towers on a famous beach under Diamond Head. Ko Olina on the west side has four man-made lagoons with calm water. Farther up that coast, Makaha and Waianae are local and quiet. The windward side around Hauula and Punaluu faces the trade winds and the Koolau cliffs. Short-term rentals outside the resort zones are tightly regulated here, so the list is shorter than on the other islands.
