Ala Wai Cove
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.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy figures like "80% owner occupied" or descriptive terms like "majority owner occupied." The remarks do not provide a usable percentage, and the only related note says it is to be determined in escrow.
I searched the remarks for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or a written number. The listings confirm the presence of at least one elevator, but none provide a reliable count, so the exact number remains unknown.

CURRENT MLS: 8/17 listings have OTCOEX (common-area electric) checked. Public remarks: 0 listings explicitly state 'common area electricity' or similar. Historical analysis rated this feature High confidence. Evidence is mixed (MLS checkbox present in several listings but no remarks confirming), so included as available with moderate confidence.

CURRENT MLS: 9/17 listings list HOTWAT in association_fee_includes. Public remarks: 1+ listings state the 'building is starting work on hot water, fire safety and waste drains,' indicating a building-level hot water program/upgrade. No WTRHTR inclusions were present in CURRENT MLS (supports building-supplied hot water rather than individual water heaters). Given explicit remark about building hot water work plus MLS checkboxes, include hot water in fees with high confidence.

Strong, consistent evidence: 14 of 16 current MLS entries include SEWER and remarks mention building work on "waste drains," aligning with prior High confidence that sewer is included in maintenance fees across the building.
CURRENT MLS: 15/17 listings list WATER as included in association fees. Public remarks: no listings contradict (no statements that owners pay separately). Historical analysis rated this High confidence. The preponderance of MLS checkbox data across agents supports that water is included in the maintenance fee.

7 of 16 current MLS records list CRWSH in amenities, but none of the public remarks mention 'car wash', 'auto wash', or similar. Evidence comes solely from MLS checkbox data across multiple listings and appears inconsistent with agent remarks, so inclusion is tentative pending verification.

Strong, corroborating evidence that Ala Wai Cove offers building storage/lockers: MLS checkbox data lists storage in 10 of 17 current listings and 8 of 17 unit_features. Numerous public remarks explicitly state 'personal storage locker', 'storage on the same floor', 'additional storage closet', and 'storage in separate room' across multiple agent listings, indicating building-level storage is widely available rather than a single-unit exception.
I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage and found nothing. The remarks do mention general storage lockers/rooms, but not a dedicated surfboard storage facility.
No analysis available
9 of 17 current MLS records include the TRACHU amenity, but none of the public remarks (0 listings) mention a trash/garbage/refuse chute. Historical data showed Low confidence, and the evidence is primarily from multiple agents checking the MLS amenity box rather than explicit remarks, so inclusion is tentative (moderate confidence).

I searched for pool-related language, including salt water, saltwater, saline, or salt pool, and found nothing. Since the building context also indicates no pool, there is no basis to mark a saltwater pool.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building has shared laundry: at least 7 separate remarks in this batch explicitly reference shared facilities (e.g., 'personal storage locker conveniently located down the hall in the laundry room', 'community laundry room and personal storage are easily accessible and located on each floor', 'Community laundry is on the same floor', 'community laundry with washer, dryer and deep sink across from the elevator'). These repeated mentions across many listings (likely from different agents) align with historical MLS checkbox data (15/17), so inclusion is well supported.
I searched for references to coin laundry, paid laundry, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees and found none. The remarks confirm laundry exists, but they do not indicate that it requires payment, so this remains unverified and is treated as absent in the available remarks.
Public remarks repeatedly confirm that community laundry facilities are available floor-by-floor. The wording is explicit enough to support this feature with very high confidence.
All 17 current MLS listings include parking features (OPEN/COVER/GARAGE/ASSIGN) and the public remarks repeatedly reference parking: 'dedicated parking stall', 'one full-size assigned parking stall', and 'secure covered parking'. Evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, indicating the building offers parking.
Assigned parking is supported by MLS data on 13 of 17 listings and multiple remarks explicitly note assigned or deeded stalls (quotes: 'dedicated parking stall', '1 assigned covered parking', 'one full-size assigned parking stall'). The evidence is consistent across listings and agents.
Covered parking is noted in 10 of 17 MLS parking_features and the public remarks frequently state 'covered' or 'covered assigned' parking (quotes: '1 assigned covered parking', 'one covered parking space', 'secure covered parking'). Multiple listings and agents reference covered stalls, supporting inclusion.
The remarks directly state that the unit has a "deeded parking stall," which indicates the parking is owned with the unit. This is strong evidence that the parking is deeded.
No analysis available
I searched for references to parking fees, monthly parking charges, or parking rental costs. The listings mention assigned, covered, and deeded stalls, but none give a separate parking fee.

I looked for terms like "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or "join waitlist for parking." The remarks instead describe assigned or deeded parking stalls, with no indication of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for key card access, fob entry, card readers, electronic access, and keycard wording. The listings only mention a secure lobby with intercom, so card-based security is not supported by the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for patrol, roving security, and patrolled building language and found none. The available remarks describe a secure building but do not support the presence of a security patrol service.

At least one listing's public remarks explicitly state "split AC’s" and 2 of 15 current MLS listings have ACSPL in inclusions. Another remark references a window A/C, suggesting some units may have different systems, but explicit split-system language plus MLS checkbox entries indicates some units in the building have ductless/mini-split A/C.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence for concrete construction: 16/17 current MLS records list CONCRE. No public remarks explicitly mention materials, but the high and consistent MLS checkbox usage across many agent listings indicates a concrete building rather than an agent data-entry anomaly.
Moderate evidence for double-wall construction: 10/17 current MLS records list double-wall (DOUWAL), consistent with prior medium-confidence data. No public remarks explicitly describe 'double wall', so inclusion is based on repeated MLS checkbox usage across multiple listings rather than direct agent descriptions.
Moderate/limited evidence that some units/building include hollow tile: 4/16 current MLS listings report HOLTIL, matching prior medium-confidence records. No public remarks mention hollow tile and the distribution is sparse, so inclusion is cautious—buyers should verify unit-level construction if important.
Minimal MLS indication of masonry/stucco (2/17 listings) with no public-remarks confirmation. Without supporting descriptions or historical evidence, masonry and stucco construction is unlikely for the building.

Partial evidence that the building/units are listed as above-ground: 6/16 current MLS records include ABOGRO and prior records had similar medium confidence. No public remarks describe above-ground materials explicitly, so the indication comes mainly from multiple MLS entries and should be verified if critical to a buyer.
Very limited MLS support for brick construction (1/17 listings) and no remarks describing brick or brick exterior. Given the lack of corroborating remarks and minimal checkbox frequency, brick construction is unlikely and treated as absent.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit STR permission or related terms such as short-term rental, vacation rental, NUC, TVU, and minimum-day exceptions. Nothing in the listings indicates that short-term rentals are allowed, so the safest read is that STR is not evidenced here.
I looked for hotel pool references such as hotel rental program, managed by hotel, Hilton pool, Trump pool, or Ritz pool. There is no such language in the remarks, and because STR is not supported, this must be false.
I searched for language indicating mandatory participation in a rental program, such as "must be in rental program" or "cannot opt out." The remarks contain no such statements, and because STR is not supported, this is false.

I looked for ground lease or leasehold language such as "lease expires," "land lease to," "leasehold expiring," and any 4-digit expiry year. The remarks contain no lease-end date or renewal information, so the expiry year cannot be determined from the listings.
I searched the public remarks for VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None of the listings reference VA eligibility, so there is no evidence to support this feature.
I searched the public remarks for HOA insurance terms such as fully insured, comprehensive building insurance, or walls-in coverage. Nothing in the listings confirms the insurance status, so it cannot be determined from the remarks.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit statements that the building had passed fire/life safety evaluation, fire safety certification, or a passed fire inspection. Instead, the remarks indicate fire safety work is only beginning, so this feature should be treated as not passed.

Several listings explicitly state 'ocean' views, such as 'the ocean beyond,' 'Diamond Head, ocean, and city views,' and 'views of Waikiki, the Ala Wai and the ocean.'
Multiple remarks mention 'mountain views' and Diamond Head views, which qualify as mountain-type views.
Strong evidence across multiple listings: Diamond Head is mentioned explicitly in many unit remarks (current MLS: 8/17). Phrases include 'unobstructed views of Diamond Head' and 'views of Diamond Head', appearing in listings from different agents, supporting high confidence that the building offers Diamond Head views.
Very strong, consistent evidence: city/Waikiki skyline views are noted across the majority of listings (current MLS: 13/17). Multiple remarks explicitly say 'Waikiki skyline' or 'city skyline', indicating building units offer city views.
1 of 14 MLS records lists COASTL, and several units see the ocean and canal, which often includes shoreline; no listing contradicts coastline visibility.
Moderate evidence: a couple of listings (current MLS: 2/17) and remarks reference 'public garden', 'community garden' or nearby landscaped areas. Some units or the immediate surroundings offer garden/courtyard views, warranting inclusion with moderate confidence.
Moderate evidence: a subset of listings (current MLS: 3/17) explicitly mention 'Ala Wai Golf Course' or nearby golf course views. This indicates some units have golf course views, though mentions are limited so confidence is moderate.
Strong evidence that the building offers canal/harbor views: numerous listings mention 'Ala Wai Canal', 'Ala Wai Park' and 'ocean beyond' (current MLS: 8/17). Multiple agents reference the canal/harbor views, supporting high confidence.
Limited/implied evidence: a few listings (current MLS: 2/17) imply morning/eastern exposure with phrases like 'morning to evening' and 'morning coffee'. Explicit 'sunrise' mentions are sparse, so inclusion is on a low-to-moderate confidence basis.
Strong evidence: multiple listings (current MLS: 6/17) explicitly mention sunset/evening views and related features ('winding down at sunset', 'gorgeous sunset colors', 'Friday night fireworks'), supporting high confidence that sunset views are available from building units.
No analysis available
The remarks directly describe fireworks visible from the building's units and lanai, not merely proximity to fireworks. This is strong repeated evidence of a fireworks view.

14 of 17 current listings include the MLS amenity 'RESMAN', indicating an on-site/resident manager checkbox was widely selected by agents. None of the public remarks explicitly state 'resident manager', 'on-site manager', or 'live-in manager' (remarks instead reference 'secure lobby', 'intercom', and 'resident laundry'), so the feature is supported mainly by MLS checkbox entries rather than explicit remark confirmations; confidence is moderate (0.78).
