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.

Owner Occupancy
Low

I searched for an explicit owner-occupancy percentage and phrases such as 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied.' The remarks provide no usable owner-occupancy value, so the percentage remains unknown.

Elevators
Low

I searched for an explicit elevator count such as '4 elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators.' The remarks establish that elevators exist but provide no count, so the number remains unknown.

Association Fee Low
$793
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High

High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Cable
No

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

No listings explicitly mention common-area electricity, common electric, or building power being included. However, 10 of 19 current listings identify OTCOEX in the association fee inclusions, consistent with the prior high-confidence building-level determination, though the checkbox evidence may be copied across listings.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

Fee Includes Electricity
No

Fee Includes Gas
No

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Internet
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Sixteen of 19 current listings include SEWER in the association fee data. Several independent remarks reference "DWV plumbing replacement," "waste drains," and building-wide infrastructure work, providing supporting context even though the remarks do not directly state "sewer included."

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water is included in the association fee data for 17 of 19 current listings, a strong building-wide pattern. Remarks discussing replacement of the "major central hot water system components" support the presence of a shared water-related system, although they do not specifically quote the fee inclusion.

Car Wash
No
High

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 Unit
Yes
High

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.

Surfboard Storage
No
Low

The remarks repeatedly reference personal storage lockers, storage closets, and storage near laundry rooms. I found no mention of surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, or bike and surfboard storage.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
No
High

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.

Pool Salt
No
Low

The remarks do not mention a swimming pool or salt-water system. I searched for terms including “salt water pool,” “saltwater pool,” “salt pool,” and “saline pool,” but found no evidence.

Laundry In Unit
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry
Yes
High

Community/shared laundry is explicitly mentioned in at least 10 current listings, with consistent descriptions across multiple remarks. Key phrases include 'laundry facilities on each floor,' 'coin operated washer & dryer on each floor,' 'community laundry is on the same floor,' and 'community laundry with washer, dryer and deep sink across from the elevator.' The evidence strongly confirms a building-wide shared laundry amenity rather than isolated copy-paste checkbox use.

Community Laundry Paid
Yes
High

The coin-operated laundry wording is direct evidence of paid community laundry. Other listings also confirm laundry on every floor.

Community Laundry Every Floor
Yes
High

The remarks repeatedly confirm floor-by-floor community laundry facilities. This is directly supported across multiple listings.

Parking
Yes
High

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.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is strongly supported across the listing set, with at least 10 remarks explicitly describing assigned, reserved, dedicated, or deeded parking. The repeated wording appears across multiple listings and agents, and it aligns with the current MLS data showing 15/19 listings marked ASSIGN.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is confirmed by at least 8 current remarks, with several explicitly identifying covered assigned stalls or secure covered parking. This is consistent with current MLS data showing 12/19 listings marked with covered or garage-related parking types, providing strong building-level evidence.

Parking Deeded
Yes
High

The remarks provide strong evidence that at least some units have deeded parking, including the explicit phrase "deeded parking stall." Multiple listings consistently confirm parking is associated with the units, although not every listing specifies deeded ownership.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

Multiple listings indicate that parking is associated with the units, generally as assigned or covered stalls. However, no explicit monthly parking fee was provided, so the fee is unknown.

Parking Guest
No

No analysis available

Parking Secured Entry
No

No analysis available

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

The remarks repeatedly describe assigned, covered, reserved, or deeded parking stalls. They do not mention limited parking availability or a building parking waitlist.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

Multiple listings describe a “secure lobby with an intercom system,” but none mention key card access, fob access, card readers, or electronic keycard entry. Therefore, the public remarks do not establish a card-based security system.

Security Guard
No

No analysis available

Security Patrol
No
Low

The listings use terms such as “secure building” and describe an intercom-equipped lobby, but they do not mention security patrols, roving security, patrol service, or a patrolled building. There is no public-remarks evidence of security patrol service.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
Yes
High

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.

Window AC
Yes

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction is supported by 17 of 18 current MLS listings, indicating consistent reporting across the building rather than a single agent entry. None of the supplied public remarks explicitly uses phrases such as “concrete construction” or “reinforced concrete,” but there is no contradictory evidence and the historical confidence is High.

Double Wall
Yes
Medium

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.

Hollow Tile
Yes
Medium

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.

Masonry/Stucco
No
High

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.

Steel Frame
No

No analysis available

Slab
Yes

No analysis available

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
Yes
Medium

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.

Brick
No
High

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.

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
Low

The listings describe the property as a residential condominium and discuss pets, parking, amenities, and location without addressing short-term rental rules. No public evidence establishes that STRs are permitted.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

The public remarks contain no evidence that the building participates in a hotel rental pool. Because STR permission is not established, this feature is false under the prerequisite rule.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
Low

The remarks do not describe any hotel rental program, whether optional or mandatory. Since STR permission and hotel-pool participation are not established, mandatory pool participation is false.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
No

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

The remarks do not identify the building as leasehold or provide a four-digit lease-expiry year. No renewal or lease-extension date was found.

Financing V A
No
Low

The public remarks discuss the units, assessments, parking, amenities, and location but do not address VA loan eligibility. No evidence was found confirming or denying VA approval.

Insured Fully
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for wording indicating that the building is fully insured or has walls-in coverage. No insurance information was found, so this feature is not supported by the available remarks.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I searched for language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection. The remarks instead describe ongoing or planned fire/life safety improvements, with no evidence of a passed evaluation.

Flood Zone (Current)
A
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
A

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

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.'

View: Mountain
Yes
High

At least 6 of 19 current listings mention mountain-related views, including “mountain views,” “stunning views of Diamond Head,” “unobstructed views of ... Diamond Head,” and “beautiful Diamond Head.” The repeated Diamond Head references across multiple listings and the previously high-confidence historical evidence strongly support that the building offers mountain views.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

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.

View: City
Yes
High

At least 15 of 19 current listings mention city-related views, including “Waikiki skyline,” “city skyline sparkles,” “city skyline adorned with twinkling lights,” and “view the city skyline and twinkling city lights.” This is strong, consistent evidence across numerous listings and confirms the previously high-confidence building feature.

View: Coastline
Yes
Medium

1 of 14 MLS records lists COASTL, and several units see the ocean and canal, which often includes shoreline; no listing contradicts coastline visibility.

View: Garden
Yes
Medium

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.

View: Golf Course
Yes
Medium

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.

View: Marina
Yes
High

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.

View: Sunrise
Yes
Medium

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.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

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.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
Yes
High

The remarks explicitly describe Friday night fireworks being visible from unit lanais. This satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building.

Frontage Type
Stream/Canal

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
Medium

RESMAN appears in 16 of 19 current listings, indicating that the building likely has a resident manager. No public remarks explicitly use phrases such as “resident manager,” “on-site manager,” or “live-in manager,” so the evidence is primarily MLS amenity data and may partly reflect copied checkbox information.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
