There’s no doubt that surfing is a way of life on Oahu. With well over 100 surf spots surrounding the island, there are plenty of waves and action to catch at one of the island’s many beaches.

From the rolling waves of Waikiki to the legendary winter swells on the North Shore, people from all around the world come to Oahu to see and experience the thrill of the ocean sport for themselves.

And although many of these surfers come for only a short period of time, some have the luxury of living close to their second home, the sea.

Here are some Oahu properties that are designed for catching waves while also providing the comfort of home.
