The beautiful island of O‘ahu is the most populated Hawaiian island and the third largest in size behind Big Island and Maui. O‘ahu is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the state, with Capital City Honolulu located there. Since it’s the area’s only real metropolitan city, Honolulu is where you’ll find most amenities, nightlife spots, bars, and restaurants. The rest of O‘ahu is filled with some of the world’s most amazing beaches, mountain hiking trails, and hip beach towns. If you’re in O‘ahu and looking to spend some time by the water, check out these top beachfront rentals in O‘ahu, Hawaii, USA.
