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 percentages and qualitative statements ('majority owner occupied', 'highly owner occupied'). The remarks do not provide an owner-occupancy percentage or clear qualitative occupancy statement, so the value is unknown.
I searched the remarks for explicit counts like '4 elevators' or 'two elevators'. The remarks reference 'the elevator' and using stairs instead of the elevator, confirming at least one elevator, but no numeric count is provided, so the exact number remains unknown.

7 of 15 current MLS listings include HOTWAT in association_fee_includes and 0 of 15 list WTRHTR in inclusions. Public remarks across the supplied listings do not mention 'hot water included' or water heaters. Evidence suggests some units/building fees include hot water (not universal), so include the feature with moderate confidence.

13 of 15 current MLS listings include SEWER in association_fee_includes and prior data had High confidence that sewer is included. Although public remarks do not explicitly mention 'sewer included,' the high and consistent MLS checkbox frequency across many listings from different agents indicates sewer is included in maintenance fees.
13 of 15 current MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes and prior data indicated High confidence for water being included. Public remarks make no contradictory statements, and the consistent multi-listing MLS entries indicate water is included in the maintenance fee.

Strong, consistent evidence across many listings that Ala Wai Cove offers building storage/lockers: public remarks include phrases like 'personal storage', 'separate storage locker on the same floor', and 'all of the units at the Ala Wai Cove also come with an additional storage closet.' MLS checkbox data also supports this (8/15 listings with building-level storage; 7/15 with unit-level storage), indicating a reliable, building-wide amenity.
There are repeated references to storage lockers and personal storage on each floor, but no explicit surfboard/board storage. Searched for 'surfboard', 'board storage', 'surf storage' and found none.

7 of 15 current MLS listings for this building list TRACHU in amenities, but none of the provided public remarks mention a trash/garbage/refuse chute. The presence is supported only by MLS checkbox entries (possible copy/paste across agents), so inclusion is given with moderate confidence (0.75) pending stronger documentary or onsite confirmation.

There are no references to any pool (saltwater or otherwise) in the remarks. Searched for 'pool', 'salt water', 'saltwater', 'salt', 'saline' and found none; building context also indicates pool=False.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings: at least a dozen listings/remarks reference shared laundry (phrases include 'community laundry room', 'community laundry with washer, dryer and deep sink across from the elevator', and 'laundry facilities on your floor'). This corroborates MLS checkbox data (13/15 listings currently checked) and matches prior high-confidence history, indicating the building offers shared/community laundry facilities.
Listings consistently describe community laundry facilities and washers/dryers, but there is no mention of coin-operated, card-operated, quarters, or any payment requirement. Searched for terms like 'coin', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card', 'paid laundry', 'card operated' and found none.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state that community laundry facilities and personal storage are located on each floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' and 'laundry room on every floor' and found direct mentions confirming floor-by-floor laundry.
All 15 current MLS listings list some form of parking (OPEN/COVER/GARAGE/ASSIGN), and the public remarks frequently mention covered stalls and deeded parking (e.g., "deeded parking stall", "covered parking stall"). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and MLS checkbox data, indicating building-level parking is available.
Assigned parking is repeatedly mentioned: MLS parking_features show ASSIGN on 11 of 15 listings, and at least 8 listing remarks explicitly state assigned or deeded parking (quotes include "1 assigned covered parking", "one full-size assigned parking stall", "assigned covered parking stall"). The evidence is strong across multiple agent remarks and MLS data, supporting that the building offers assigned parking.
Many listings explicitly mention covered parking: '1 assigned covered parking', 'covered parking stall close by', 'Secure covered parking', and 'assigned covered parking stall.'
Public remarks explicitly state parking is deeded/assigned in multiple listings, including the phrase 'deeded parking stall' and repeated references to an 'assigned covered parking' space, so this is true with high confidence.
No analysis available
Listings repeatedly describe 'assigned covered parking' or 'one assigned parking' but do not state a separate monthly parking fee or rental amount. I searched the remarks for explicit parking fee language and found none, so the monthly parking fee is unknown (null).

The remarks describe assigned/covered parking but do not reference any waitlist process. I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and related phrases and found no evidence of a waitlist system, so set to false with low-medium confidence.

Listings repeatedly state a secure lobby and intercom system; however there is no explicit mention of 'key card', 'fob', 'card reader', or similar. Searched for 'key card', 'fob', 'card', 'electronic access' and found no references.

Remarks describe a secure building and lobby/intercom but do not reference any security patrol service. Searched for phrases like 'security patrol', 'roving security', and 'patrolled' with no results.

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: 14 of 15 current MLS records list concrete (CONCRE) and prior data showed 13 of 14, consistent with the building's age/type typical of reinforced concrete Honolulu condos. No public remarks mention different construction materials, and multiple agents consistently checked CONCRE, indicating high confidence across listings.
Moderate evidence: 8 of 15 current MLS records include double-wall (DOUWAL) in construction materials, suggesting some units/building listings report double-wall construction. However, public remarks do not reference this and agent entries may reflect inconsistent reporting, so confidence is moderate.
Limited/partial evidence: 3 of 15 current MLS records list hollow tile (HOLTIL). Public remarks do not mention hollow tile and there is no historical confirmation, so inclusion is based solely on a minority of MLS entries and should be treated as possible but not well-documented.

Public remarks do not mention whether short-term rentals are permitted or prohibited. I searched for explicit STR language (including TVU/NUC/30-day rules) and found none; therefore, in absence of evidence, set STR allowed = false with low-medium confidence. Per rules, if STR is false then any STR-related pool flags would also be false (not present here).
Because public remarks contain no mention of STRs and no hotel rental pool references, this is false with high confidence. Hotel-pool participation requires STR allowance, which is not present.
There is no evidence of a hotel rental program or mandatory participation in the remarks. As STRs are not indicated, mandatory hotel-pool participation is false with high confidence.

There are no references to a land lease, leasehold status, or any lease expiry year in the public remarks. I searched for phrases such as 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and any 4-digit expiry years and found none. Therefore the lease expiry year is unknown (null).
Public remarks contain no reference to VA approval or VA financing. I searched the listings for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and 'VA loans accepted' and found no evidence to indicate VA loan approval. With no explicit mention, set to false with low-medium confidence.
I searched the remarks for insurance-related phrases indicating the HOA provides full/walls-in coverage. The remarks contain no such language, so there is no evidence the building is fully insured by the HOA.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases such as 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', or 'passed fire inspection'. The remarks mention ongoing fire safety work, not that an FLSE has been passed, so there is no evidence the building has passed the fire/life safety evaluation.

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.
Diamond Head is mentioned in multiple unit remarks (MLS: 3 of 15 listings flagged DIAHEA) with phrases like 'unobstructed views of Diamond Head', 'Experience beautiful Diamond Head', and 'views of Diamond Head'. Evidence is explicit across several agent remarks and consistent with current MLS view_descriptions.
City/urban views are consistently described across listings (MLS: 5 of 15 flagged CITY) with explicit phrases such as 'Waikiki skyline', 'city skyline', 'city lights', and 'city skyline sparkles', indicating multiple units offer city views and corroborating prior high-confidence data.
1 of 14 MLS records lists COASTL, and several units see the ocean and canal, which often includes shoreline; no listing contradicts coastline visibility.

Ala Wai Canal views are repeatedly mentioned in the listing remarks (MLS: 3 of 15 flagged MARCAN) with quotes like 'views of the Ala Wai Canal', 'the serene Ala Wai canal stretches below', and 'view the Ala Wai', supporting that the building offers canal/marina-type views to buyers.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks detail sunset experiences, e.g., 'winding down at sunset', 'breathtaking sunset hues', and 'Enjoy the gorgeous sunset colors.'

Multiple listings explicitly state that residents can view Friday night fireworks from the lanai/units. I searched for 'fireworks', 'see fireworks from', and related phrases and found direct statements confirming a fireworks view from the building.

12 of 15 current MLS listings have the RESMAN amenity box checked (prior data: 11 of 14), which is the primary source indicating a resident/on-site manager. None of the public remarks explicitly state 'resident manager', 'on-site manager', or 'live-in manager', so the evidence rests on multiple MLS checkboxes across agents and appears implied rather than directly confirmed in agent remarks.

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.
