Whether you are primarily here for the stunning beaches or to do some sightseeing, O'ahu will not disappoint. The Japanese Buddhist temple of Byodo-In is a must-visit, as is the Pearl Harbour National Memorial. To make it a holiday you will never forget, check out these top beach house rentals in O'ahu, USA.
