Local Hostsin Waikiki
Oahu Island Homes manages short-term rental condos and studios in Waikiki for their owners, and hosts the guests who stay in them.
Our Story
A family's rentals that grew into a Waikiki management company
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 more than 30 condos and studios in Waikiki, in buildings including Waikiki Banyan, Waikiki Sunset, Ilikai and Island Colony. Guests can book any of them directly on this site.
How We Work

Focused on Waikiki
We concentrate on a small number of Waikiki buildings so we know them well.
