Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

Ainahau Gardens
Building Overview
Ainahau Gardens in Waikiki: 3-story concrete building (1964) with mountain views, resident manager, window A/C and covered assigned parking.

About Ainahau Gardens
Ainahau Gardens is a low-rise condominium located in Central Waikiki. According to available records, the building was built in 1964, has three floors and a total of 56 units, and is constructed of concrete. The property is listed as having mountain views.
Key features include a resident manager, window air conditioning, and one elevator serving the building. The building is managed by Sunny Isles Properties, Inc. and does not allow short-term rentals or pets, per the MLS data provided.
Parking is available and includes covered, assigned stalls. Buyers should note the building has a single elevator and the unit mix totals 56 units. This information is drawn from MLS data; buyers and their agents should verify all details, fees and restrictions with the management company or official records.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
All 13 MLS records consistently report the building as constructed in 1964. No remarks suggest a different original build year, only renovations and repairs, so 1964 is used with high confidence.
Based on 13 listings, the highest observed unit floor is 3 and one listing describes its unit as the 'TOP FLOOR apartment.' No evidence of any higher floors appears in remarks or MLS data, so the building is best interpreted as 3 stories.
No listing states the total number of units in the building; the only quantitative detail is that there are three 1-bedroom units. Without an explicit 'X-unit building' reference, the overall unit count cannot be determined from the available data.
I searched for owner-occupancy percentages and descriptive phrases such as highly owner occupied or majority owner occupied, but found nothing. Since there is no remark evidence to update it, I kept the current 41% value.
I found multiple public remarks confirming that the building has an elevator and that it was upgraded/replaced, but no listing explicitly says there are multiple elevators. Given the current value is already 1 and the remarks do not contradict that, I kept it unchanged.

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Remarks repeatedly describe “window AC” in units and never mention central air or building-supplied A/C. With no MLS checkboxes indicating central A/C in the fees, central air conditioning is almost certainly not included in the maintenance charges.
Across 13 listings, agents never mark cable as included in the association fee and no remarks reference cable service being part of the dues. Given the low-fee marketing and absence of any mention of included cable, it is very likely that cable is not covered by the maintenance fees.
7 of 15 current MLS listings include OTCOEX (other common expenses) in association_fee_includes, indicating some units/agents list common-area costs as included. No public remarks explicitly state 'common area electricity' or similar phrasing, so evidence is mixed and appears to be partially agent-checked/copy-paste rather than broadly documented in remarks.
Several listings explicitly market the property as “fee simple,” indicating condominium ownership rather than co-op. With no MLS indication of co-op taxes, the maintenance fee does not include cooperative taxes.
The MLS data never shows electricity as an included association expense, and agents repeatedly promote very low maintenance fees without citing electric as a benefit. This strongly indicates that unit electricity is separately metered and not included in the HOA dues.
There is no MLS or remarks evidence that gas is provided or included in the maintenance fee, which is typical for small Waikiki studio buildings that use electric appliances. Gas is therefore very likely not part of the association-included utilities.
7 of 14 current MLS listings check HOTWAT (hot water included) and no listings show WTRHTR (unit water heater) in inclusions. Public remarks are silent on hot water being part of the HOA, so the MLS data suggests some units/listings report it, but it's not consistently documented.
Agents do not check any internet-included option in the MLS and never mention free or bundled Wi-Fi in the building descriptions. Given the focus on affordability and low fees, internet is very likely not included in the maintenance charges.
The property is marketed purely as a Waikiki residential building near the beach, with no mention of boat slips or marina access. With no MLS flags for marina-related fees, marina costs are not part of the maintenance fee.
All 15 current MLS listings uniformly include SEWER in association_fee_includes (historically high agreement across listings). Although public remarks do not explicitly mention 'sewer included,' the unanimous MLS checkbox across multiple agents provides strong evidence the building's association fees include sewer.
All 15 current MLS listings uniformly include WATER in association_fee_includes (consistent with prior high-confidence data). Public remarks don't explicitly state 'water included,' but the complete agreement across listings/agents strongly supports that water is included in the maintenance fees.
Multiple listings give detailed amenity lists but none reference BBQ grills, a barbecue area, or an outdoor cooking space. Combined with all MLS records omitting a BBQ amenity, this strongly suggests the building has no BBQ facilities.
At least 5 of 13 listings describe bike storage, using phrases like 'bicycle rack', 'surfboard and bike storage', and 'surfboard and bike racks in the back'. These repeated, detailed mentions from different agents provide strong evidence that the building offers dedicated bicycle storage facilities.
Remarks do not describe any dock, marina access, or boat slips, instead focusing on walking distance to beaches and Waikiki attractions. The lack of MLS marina/boat-dock amenity confirms there is no boat dock associated with the building.
Parking details are discussed (assigned, covered, extra-long stalls), but nothing about a car wash facility. The uniform absence from MLS amenities strongly suggests there is no car-wash feature in the building.
Across 13 listings, agents never reference a clubhouse, club house, or community center, despite going into detail on other shared features. The consistent absence in both remarks and MLS strongly suggests there is no clubhouse.
The remarks consistently highlight a resident manager and secure access but never describe concierge or front desk services. With no textual or MLS evidence of concierge, it is very likely this service is not offered in the building.
While nearby parks and the Waikiki area are mentioned, no listing describes an on-site dog park or pet run. The lack of both MLS checkmarks and textual mentions supports that the building has no dedicated dog park.
All 13 listings reference a resident manager and building security features but never a doorman or lobby attendant. The absence of any "doorman"-type language in remarks, combined with unchecked MLS amenities, indicates there is no doorman service.
Across 13 listings, agents describe building features like secure entry, elevator, resident manager, surfboard/bike racks, and laundry on each floor, but never mention any kind of gym or exercise room. MLS amenity checkboxes are consistently unset for exercise facilities. This strongly indicates the building does not offer an exercise room.
In this price point and building type, limo or house-car service would be a standout feature yet it is never mentioned in remarks. Combined with MLS data, this makes it almost certain the building does not offer limousine or courtesy car service.
Listings describe security, elevator, laundry, and storage but omit any reference to meeting or conference rooms. With 0/13 MLS records marking such an amenity, the building almost certainly has no meeting room.
None of the 13 listings reference any patio, deck, lanai, or rooftop terrace, and MLS data shows 0/13 with a patio/deck amenity checked. Descriptions focus on interior features and location rather than shared outdoor spaces, indicating the building likely lacks a dedicated patio/deck amenity.
Agents highlight walkability to Waikiki attractions but never mention a dedicated jogging or fitness path as a building feature. The lack of MLS and remark references indicates there is no formal jogging path amenity.
Agents describe proximity to Kapiolani Park, Zoo, and beach but not an on-site playground. With 0/13 listings marking a playground amenity, it is very likely the building does not have a playground.
All 13 listings describe a small Waikiki condominium with no references to private yards, fenced outdoor areas, or enclosed gardens. Combined with the absence of a PRIYAR amenity flag, this strongly indicates there is no private yard feature in this building.
Remarks reference nearby golf but do not describe any building putting green or practice area. The consistent omission in MLS amenities confirms that the building does not offer a putting green.
Amenity descriptions list practical items (laundry, parking, storage, security) but never a recreation deck or common rec space. With MLS data also showing no recreation-area amenity, it is very likely the building lacks a designated recreation area.
Listings consistently focus on the secure building, elevator, laundry on each floor, and board/bike storage without any mention of a rec or game room. The absence of both MLS checkmarks and textual references indicates there is no recreation room.
Remarks emphasize proximity to a “wide selection of world class shopping and restaurants” in Waikiki, clearly framing them as off-site. With no MLS entries marking a restaurant amenity, the building appears not to contain its own restaurant.
Agents typically highlight any rooftop features in Waikiki buildings, but none of the 13 listings reference a rooftop or roof deck here. Combined with MLS data showing no rooftop amenity, this indicates the building does not offer rooftop amenities.
Wellness-type amenities like saunas are usually highlighted when present, yet none of the listings mention one. This, along with MLS omissions, strongly suggests the building does not have a sauna.
No listing remarks mention a storage locker, storage unit, or building-level extra storage; all 13 focus instead on features like surfboard storage and bike racks. Given this and only 1/13 MLS checkbox hits without remark support, the building is very unlikely to offer separate storage units or lockers.
Public remarks repeatedly confirm surfboard storage facilities. I found several explicit references to surfboard racks/storage on site, making this a very strong match.
Agents repeatedly highlight nearby beaches, parks, and golf but never mention tennis courts as a building feature. With 0/13 MLS entries marking tennis courts, it is very likely the building has no tennis court.
If a trash chute system existed, it would typically be listed alongside other convenience features, yet it is never mentioned. The vague phrase “garbage disposal on property” is not specific to a chute and, with MLS not marking a chute amenity, indicates the building likely lacks a trash chute system.
None of the 13 listings mention valet or valet parking, instead emphasizing deeded or assigned stalls and self-parking options. With the VALET amenity unchecked in all MLS entries, the evidence strongly supports that there is no valet service at this building.
Across 13 listings, security is described via secure/keyed elevator, fob entry, and security cameras, but there are no references to a gated or fenced perimeter (e.g., "gated community" or "walled property"). Given the single isolated MLS check against otherwise silent remarks, the building likely does not have perimeter wall/fence security.
Agents list common amenities thoroughly but never reference any spa or hot tub facility. The absence in both remarks and MLS amenities indicates the building has no whirlpool or hot tub.
All 13 reviewed listings for this building omit any mention of a pool in both amenities and remarks, and no agent describes access to a swimming, lap, or resort-style pool. Phrases focus on proximity to Waikiki Beach and other neighborhood amenities, not on on-site water features. This consistent absence across multiple agents strongly indicates the building has no pool.
None of the 13 listings mention a heated pool or use terms like 'heated swimming pool' or 'warm pool' in remarks or features. Combined with the consistent absence of any pool amenity, this supports that the building does not offer a heated pool.
I searched the remarks for pool-related language including salt water, saltwater, saline, and pool amenities, and found nothing. The building context also says pool=false, so there is strong support for false.
Across 13 listings, none include washer/dryer in the inclusions or mention in-unit laundry; instead, they consistently highlight shared laundry on each floor. Given how prominently in-unit laundry is usually marketed when present, this strongly indicates that units in this building do not have in-unit washers/dryers.
Strong, consistent evidence: 15 of 15 current listings mention shared laundry (phrases include 'community laundry', 'community laundry on every floor', 'laundry on each floor', and 'laundry room on each floor'). The repeated, identical language across all unit remarks and the MLS amenity checkbox indicates the building offers shared/community laundry facilities; the consistency across listings suggests the item is accurate rather than a one-off error.
The remarks confirm community laundry exists, but they do not say it is paid. I looked for terms like coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card operated, or laundry fee and found nothing, so there is no evidence to mark it as paid.
Public remarks consistently confirm laundry facilities on every floor. I searched for phrasing like laundry on each floor, floor-by-floor laundry, and laundry room on every floor, and found repeated explicit matches.
Multiple listings (at least 8 of 14 public remarks) explicitly reference parking—phrases include "PRIME COVERED & DEEDED X-LONG PARKING stall," "one covered ASSIGNED PARKING," "one spacious parking space," and mentions of scooter/moped/motorcycle parking and nearby monthly parking. Evidence is consistent across different agent remarks and supports that the building offers parking (assigned/covered and other types).
Multiple agent remarks across the building explicitly advertise assigned or deeded parking—phrases include 'assigned parking', 'deeded X-LONG PARKING stall', 'one covered ASSIGNED PARKING', and 'dedicated parking'. At least six separate listing remarks mention assigned/deeded/dedicated parking, and historical MLS checkbox data also indicated assigned stalls in 8 of 15 listings, so evidence is strong and corroborated across agents.
Several listings explicitly advertise covered parking—key phrases include 'covered parking stall', 'PRIME COVERED & DEEDED X-LONG PARKING stall', and 'covered ASSIGNED PARKING'. At least six distinct listing remarks mention covered parking, and MLS parking_features historically included covered codes in 7 of 15 listings, providing strong, consistent evidence.
Multiple remarks mention assigned/covered parking, and one listing explicitly calls the stall deeded. That is direct evidence the parking is deeded with the unit.
Across 13 listings, none mention EV charging, Tesla chargers, or any kind of vehicle charging amenity, and the EVCHRG checkbox is never used. Given how prominently parking benefits are otherwise marketed, this consistent silence strongly indicates there is no EV charging in the building.
I looked for phrases like monthly parking fee, parking rental, additional parking cost, and parking charge. The remarks mention nearby parking may be available to rent and that scooter/motorcycle parking has a reasonable fee, but they do not give a building parking fee for the unit.
Listings carefully describe resident parking but never mention 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking', and the GUEST checkbox is not used in any of the 13 MLS records. The emphasis on scarcity of parking and 'nearby parking' rather than on-site guest stalls points to the building not offering formal guest parking.
Security features repeatedly cited relate to the building and elevator (keyed/fob access, cameras), not to the parking entry. With no explicit 'gated parking' or 'secured parking' language and no SECENT check in MLS, the evidence points to parking without a dedicated secured entry system.
Agents give detailed descriptions of parking, including size and coverage, but never label any stalls as 'tandem', and the TANDEM feature is never selected in MLS. The lone reference to a space 'large enough for two cars' is framed as an oversized stall, not a tandem layout, so tandem parking is unlikely to be a formal building feature.
All listings emphasize self-parking stalls, scooter/moped parking, and nearby parking, with no suggestion of valet or attended parking. Combined with the absence of the VALET checkbox in MLS, this strongly indicates the building does not offer valet parking.
I searched for "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and similar wording, but found no mention of any waitlist system. The listings instead emphasize assigned or included parking, so there is no evidence of a formal waitlist from the public remarks.
At least 3/13 listings reference elevator access control, using phrases like "keyed elevator" and "secure elevator, fob access." These consistent, detailed descriptions across different remarks provide strong evidence that the building has keyed/fob-access elevator security.
The remarks clearly describe electronic access control. Phrases like fob access, fob entry, and keyed elevator are strong evidence that the building has card/fob security.
Across 13 listings, security is described in terms of a secured/secure building, keyed/secure elevator, fob entry, and security cameras, but never a guard or staffed security personnel. With no MLS checkboxes for security guards and no phrasing like "security guard" or "24-hour security" in remarks, it is very likely the building does not offer guard service.
I searched for security patrol-related wording such as patrol, roving security, or patrolled building and found no matches. The building is described as secured with cameras/fob access, but that is not the same as patrol service.
1/13 listings clearly mention "security cameras" in the context of building updates, alongside fob entry. Even though SECSYS is not checked in the MLS, this explicit remark strongly supports that the building has video surveillance.
Across 13 listings, no agents checked the central AC box and no remarks reference central air, HVAC, or forced-air systems. Multiple listings instead highlight in-unit A/C, indicating cooling is provided individually rather than by a central building system.
None of the 13 listings indicate split or ductless systems in the MLS checkboxes or in the remarks. Given repeated emphasis on window A/C and absence of any ‘split’ or ‘mini-split’ language, it is unlikely that split AC is a building feature at this time.
High-confidence evidence that units have window air conditioning: MLS inclusion ACWIUN appears in the vast majority of listings (14/15 historically), and the current public remarks repeatedly reference window units or A/C (e.g., 'Window AC to keep you cool.', 'a/c unit', 'ceiling fan, A/C'). Multiple agents across listings mention it, consistent with the historical data rather than a single copy/paste error.
Strong evidence the building is concrete: 14 of 15 current MLS records list construction_materials='CONCRE' and several agent remarks explicitly reference 'solid concrete floors', 'spalling work' and recent concrete repairs. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings/agents, supporting high confidence that the building is concrete.
Moderate evidence for double-wall construction: 6 of 15 current MLS records list 'DOUWAL' while none of the reviewed public remarks explicitly describe 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. The feature appears in multiple MLS entries but lacks corroborating remarks, so it is included with moderate (implied) confidence.
With no MLS checkboxes or narrative references to hollow tile, and repeated emphasis on concrete, there is strong evidence the building is not characterized as hollow-tile construction.
Moderate but limited evidence for masonry/stucco: 3 of 15 current MLS records indicate 'MASSTU' while agent remarks reviewed do not explicitly state 'masonry' or 'stucco'. This pattern suggests some MLS entries list masonry/stucco but the feature is not corroborated in remarks, so include with moderate (implied) confidence.
No agent marks steel frame on MLS and no remarks mention steel framing, while several references confirm concrete structure. This supports the conclusion that steel frame construction is not used here.
No listing identifies slab construction in MLS, and some specify above-ground construction instead, with remarks emphasizing concrete floor slabs between levels. This strongly suggests the building is not categorized as having a slab foundation.
No analysis available
Across all reviewed remarks and 13 MLS records there is no mention or checkbox for wood frame construction, while concrete is repeatedly emphasized. This strongly suggests the building is not wood-frame constructed.
A couple of MLS entries explicitly mark above-ground construction, and none mark slab, which aligns with the described multi-story configuration over ground-level areas. This offers moderate evidence the structure is classified as above-ground rather than slab-on-grade.
There are no references to brick in any remarks or MLS construction fields, and the building is consistently described/treated as concrete. This makes brick construction highly unlikely.
The structure is characterized as concrete and mid-rise, not as an older single-wall type, and no agents mark or mention single-wall. This strongly indicates the building is not single-wall construction.
The listings explicitly state a 30-day minimum rental rule. Under the provided definition, that means short-term rentals are not allowed in this building.
I searched for hotel pool, hotel rental program, managed by hotel, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool references, and found none. Since short-term rentals are not allowed, a hotel pool arrangement is also unsupported by the remarks and must be false.
I looked for wording such as mandatory pool participation, must rent, cannot opt out, or required hotel program, but found nothing. Because the building’s remarks indicate a 30-day minimum rental rule, mandatory hotel-pool participation is not supported.
At least 5 of 13 listings describe their units as 'FEE SIMPLE' (e.g., 'TURN KEY, MOVE-IN CONDITION, FEE SIMPLE', 'Fee simple studio with one covered ASSIGNED PARKING'). No listing mentions leasehold tenure, so the building clearly offers fee simple units.
The marketing consistently highlights 'fee simple' and never references leasehold or lease rent terms, which would typically be disclosed in Waikiki if present. In the absence of any leasehold indicators, the building is most likely entirely fee simple.
I searched for lease-expiry language such as "lease expires," "ground lease ends," or a leasehold renewal year, but the remarks instead identify the property as fee simple. That indicates there is no land lease expiry date to extract from these listings.
Public remarks directly state the building is VA approved, which is strong evidence for VA loan eligibility. I did not find any contrary language in the listings.
I looked for explicit references to full HOA insurance or walls-in coverage and did not find any. One remark says the building insurance policy was adjusted for 2025, but that does not confirm the building is fully insured.
Neither the MLS amenity data nor any of the 13 public remarks refer to fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system. Given the building's age and size, sprinklers would likely be promoted if present, so they are presumed absent.
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, FLSE, fire safety certification, and passed inspection references, but found none. With no public remark evidence, there is no basis to mark this as true.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Multiple listings highlight being walking distance to Waikiki Beach but none mention any ocean, water, or shoreline views, which would typically be heavily marketed in Waikiki if present. Combined with 5/13 MLS entries showing view=NONE and only a single isolated OCEAN checkbox, it appears the building does not meaningfully offer ocean-view units.
Remarks describe the 'preferred, cooler side of the building with a green Mountain … Views', clearly confirming mountain views from some units. The presence of at least one MLS listing with MOUNTA in the view field supports that Ainahau Gardens offers mountain-view units.
Diamond Head appears only in the context of nearby activities, not as a view amenity from units. With 0/13 MLS view fields indicating Diamond Head views, the building does not reliably offer Diamond Head views.
3 of 15 current MLS entries list the view as 'CITY', but none of the provided public remarks advertise city/downtown views; remarks instead mention 'green Mountain & Ala Wai Canal views' and 'tree top view'. Given the mixed data (some agents checked CITY while multiple remarks cite other views), include view_city as available to some units with moderate confidence (0.75).
The marketing stresses walking distance to the beach rather than visual coastal panoramas. With no MLS references to COASTL views, the building does not appear to offer coastline views.
The marketing focuses on interior upgrades and location rather than any garden or courtyard outlook. With no MLS entries using the GARDEN view label, garden views are not a notable building attribute.
Although golf is noted as a nearby activity, no listing describes a 'golf course view' or similar. With 0/13 MLS view fields indicating golf course views, the building does not appear to offer this view type.
Remarks specifically mention 'Ala Wai Canal Views', confirming that some units look over the canal. This supports classifying the building as offering marina/canal-type views.
Across the compiled remarks, there is no mention of sunrise or morning sun views. The absence of any SUNRIS view tags in MLS supports that sunrise views are not a marketed feature of this building.
No listings mention sunset or evening-sun views—0 of 14 current MLS view_descriptions include SUNSET and 5 of 14 explicitly state NONE. Remarks repeatedly reference mountain, Ala Wai Canal, or treetop views (e.g., "green Mountain & Ala Wai Canal Views", "tree top view") with no "sunset", "evening sun", or "western exposure" phrasing, indicating consistent agent reporting across listings rather than isolated copy-paste.
Neither the comments nor the MLS view data mention cemetery views. This consistent absence strongly indicates that cemetery views are not a factor at Ainahau Gardens.
I searched for explicit phrases such as fireworks view, watch fireworks, or see fireworks from the unit/building. The remarks only discuss Waikiki, beach, surfing, shopping, and canal views, with no evidence of fireworks visibility.

No analysis available
Across 13 listings, no remarks state 'no pets' and the NOPET restriction is never used in the MLS data, which mildly suggests pets are permitted. Because there are also no positive mentions of dogs, cats, or 'pet-friendly' policies, this is a tentative assumption rather than confirmed information.
High-confidence evidence that the building has a resident manager: MLS checkbox appears in 12 of 15 recent listings and the public remarks for these listings repeatedly state phrases like 'on-site resident manager', 'resident manager on site', and 'resident manager.' The language is consistent across many listings (multiple agents), indicating the feature is building-level and reliably reported.
All 13 listings market Ainahau Gardens as a fee simple condo, not as a hotel-operated building, and one explicitly references a 30-day minimum rental. The absence of any mention of hotel programs or front desk services, plus 0/13 CONDOT flags, strongly indicates it is not a condotel.
The building is consistently described as a fee simple condominium across 13 listings, with phrases such as 'fee simple studio' and 'small condominium.' No listing uses co-op language, and the absence of COOTAX flags makes it almost certain this is not a cooperative.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
