About Diamond Head Vacation Rentals
Diamond Head is one of Oahu's most prestigious neighborhoods and a perfect place to enjoy serenity and tranquility while still being very close to the dining, shopping and exciting nightlife of Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. With beautiful beaches in a charming and elegant location you have everything you need for a wonderful Hawaii vacation on Oahu's sunny southern shore.

Things To Do

Browse the shops along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues and grab a bite to eat with ocean views. For a spectacular view of the southern shore hike to the top of nearby Diamond Head Crater, a short but strenuous trek that includes stairs and tunnels, finally rewarding you with sweeping vistas of Honolulu.

Nearby Beaches
There are many great beaches along Oahu's south shore including right in the Diamond Head area as well as along the Waikiki shoreline to the west and Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach Park and Makapuu Beach to the east. Hanauma Bay is a great place for snorkeling with coral reef and a fascinating array of marine life in a sunken volcanic crater bordered by a large, sandy beach. This is a popular spot so go early to beat the crowds. For more great beaches drive up the windward shore to Waimanalo, and a bit farther to Kailua Bay which is great for a variety of ocean activities.

Getting Around

A rental car is recommended when staying in Diamond Head vacation rentals so you can explore Honolulu's many sites and attractions as well as day trips to the north and windward shores. Diamond Head is within walking distance to serene and quiet beaches as well as the famed Waikiki Beach with everything you need for a day of Hawaii fun and relaxation.

Weather and Ocean Conditions
The weather in Diamond Head is exceptional with very little rain and temperatures ranging from about 70 to 85 degrees F. throughout the year. Oahu's south and west shores are generally a bit warmer and drier than the north and east shores, and the winter months typically see more rain than summer. Sunny skies, mild temperatures and warm trade winds make Diamond Head an excellent vacation destination. Rain showers are typically brief and light with ample sunshine even on the rainier days. Ocean conditions vary each day though typically the south shore will have the calmest waters during the winter months while the north shore will have the calmest waters during the summer. Some beaches provide more protection from the open ocean, and if the waves are too big at the beach you visit then you may be able to find a more sheltered beach where water activities are safe. For swimming and ocean activities visit Oahu's lifeguarded beaches, obey all posted warnings and ask about the conditions on that day for the activities you choose.
