Our Story

From a single property to Hawaii's premier vacation rental company

Oahu Island Homes was born from a simple belief: that every visitor to Hawaii deserves an authentic, luxurious experience that captures the true spirit of aloha—and that local expertise makes all the difference.

In 2017, founder Avery Chern began managing his family's vacation rental properties and quickly saw an opportunity to bring professional, finance-driven management to Hawaii's rental market while preserving the authentic hospitality that only a true local can provide.

Today, we manage over 30 premium properties across Oahu, from beachfront condos in Waikiki to peaceful retreats on the North Shore. As a locally born and raised company, we ensure every property reflects the quality and aloha spirit that Hawaii is known for.
