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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I looked for an explicit owner-occupancy percentage or phrases like "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." The remarks do not provide a usable occupancy figure, and one listing explicitly says the occupancy percentage is to be determined in escrow.
I searched the remarks for an explicit elevator count such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators," but none was provided. The listings confirm the building has at least one elevator, but they do not state the number, so the exact count remains unknown.

There is no remark-level evidence for common-area electricity, and the building’s current listings do not describe hall/elevator power being covered by maintenance fees. Because the historical checkbox rate is only moderate and agent remarks are silent, this looks more like inconsistent MLS entry than a confirmed building-wide inclusion.

Hot water is the clearest feature in the remarks: multiple listings mention the building-wide hot water system being worked on, funded, and undergoing replacement. Combined with the MLS pattern (10/18 checked HOTWAT), this is strong evidence that hot water is included in the association fees.

Sewer-related infrastructure appears repeatedly in the current remarks, especially the building-wide work on "DWV plumbing replacement" and "waste drains." With 15/18 MLS listings already including SEWER, the evidence strongly supports sewer being included in maintenance fees.
Water inclusion is supported by a strong MLS pattern, with 16 of 18 listings showing WATER in association fee inclusions. No current remarks contradict this, and the building-wide infrastructure updates are consistent with water being covered by the maintenance fee.

Across the provided listings, there are 0 public-remark mentions of a car wash or similar facility. The only evidence is the inconsistent MLS amenity flag (8/18 current records), which is not reinforced by agent remarks and therefore looks unreliable.

Storage is clearly a building feature at Ala Wai Cove. Multiple listings mention it directly, with roughly a dozen remarks referring to a "storage locker," "personal storage," or "additional storage" on the floor or near the laundry room, which strongly corroborates the MLS checkbox data. The consistency across many listings suggests this is a real shared building amenity, not a copy-paste error.
I checked the public remarks for surfboard-storage-related wording and found no evidence. The listings do mention general storage lockers, but not surfboard-specific storage.
No analysis available
There are 0 public-remark mentions of any trash/garbage/refuse chute in the provided listings. Although 10/18 current MLS records show TRACHU, the absence of any supporting remarks across multiple listings suggests the amenity is likely not present or was entered in error.

I searched the remarks for saltwater/saline pool wording and found nothing. Given the building context says there is no pool, this feature is marked false.

There is overwhelming evidence the building has shared/community laundry. In this batch, roughly 10+ listings explicitly mention laundry on each floor, community laundry, or a laundry room across from the elevator/same floor, which is consistent with the MLS COMLAU flag. The repeated wording across multiple listings suggests this is a real building feature, not a one-off agent copy-paste error.
There is explicit evidence that the community laundry requires payment via coin-operated machines. I looked for coin-op, quarters, card-operated, or fee language, and found clear confirmation.
The public remarks repeatedly confirm community laundry on every floor, not just in the building generally. This is directly supported by floor-specific language in several listings.
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 strongly supported across the listing set, with 14/18 current MLS records showing ASSIGN and multiple remarks explicitly saying things like “one assigned covered parking stall,” “dedicated parking stall,” “deeded parking stall,” and “1 full-size assigned parking stall.” The language appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is well supported by both MLS fields and public remarks, with 11/18 current listings indicating covered parking types and multiple descriptions such as “one assigned covered parking stall,” “one covered parking space,” “covered parking stall,” and “secure covered parking.” The repeated phrasing across many listings makes this a strong building-level feature.
Multiple remarks directly describe parking as deeded or otherwise owned with the unit, which is strong public evidence. This supports parking being deeded rather than merely assigned or rental parking.
No analysis available
I searched for language about a monthly parking fee, parking rent, or extra parking charge and found none. The listings instead emphasize assigned, covered, or deeded parking stalls, suggesting no separate parking fee is disclosed in the remarks.

I looked for references to a parking waitlist, parking waiting list, or instructions to join one and found nothing. The remarks consistently describe parking as assigned, covered, or deeded, not waitlisted.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access language and found none. The remarks do describe the building as secure, but that is not the same as card-access security.
No analysis available
I searched for any patrol or roving security references and found nothing. The building is described as secure, but there is no evidence of an actual 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 supports concrete construction. 17 of 18 current MLS listings list CONCRE in construction_materials, while the public remarks do not explicitly state materials but also do not contradict it. This appears to be consistent MLS data rather than a copy-paste 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 for short-term rental indicators such as "STR allowed," "NUC," "TVU," or similar wording and found none. There is also no hotel-style rental language, so STR allowance is not evidenced in these public remarks.
I looked for hotel pool references such as Hilton, Trump, Ritz, or a hotel-managed rental program and found nothing. Because there is no evidence that STR is allowed here, this must be false as well.
I searched for wording like mandatory hotel pool, required participation, cannot opt out, or owner must place unit in a rental program and found none. With no evidence of STR allowance or a hotel pool, mandatory participation is not supported.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording, ground lease references, and any 4-digit lease expiration year such as "lease expires 2050" or "ground lease ends". Nothing in the remarks indicates a lease expiry date, so the year remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted" and found none. With no supporting evidence, this is treated as not evidenced in the listings.
I searched for insurance language such as fully insured, full insurance, walls-in coverage, or fully covered building insurance. Nothing in the public remarks addresses HOA insurance coverage, so this cannot be confirmed from the listings.
No analysis available
I looked for wording like FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection. Instead, the remarks describe ongoing fire/life safety upgrades, which suggests work is in progress rather than a confirmed pass status.

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.'
Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers mountain-type views. Multiple listings explicitly mention "Diamond Head" and even one states "mountain views," which qualifies under the feature definition. The remarks come from many different listings and appear consistent rather than isolated copy-paste.
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 evidence for city views throughout the building. Many listings mention "Waikiki skyline," "city skyline sparkles," "twinkling city lights," and "city views," showing this is a recurring building feature rather than a one-off unit attribute. The consistency across numerous remarks makes this high confidence.
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.

The listings directly describe fireworks being visible from units/lanai, which meets the requirement for a view from the building. This is not just proximity to fireworks.

15 of 18 current listings have the MLS amenity RESMAN, which is a strong building-level signal that the property offers a resident manager. None of the provided public remarks explicitly say 'resident manager,' 'on-site manager,' or 'live-in manager,' so this looks more like consistent MLS amenity selection than repeated agent description. I am including it, but with moderate confidence because the remarks do not confirm it directly.
