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 searched the remarks for explicit percentages or statements about owner-occupancy (e.g., 'owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', '80% owner occupied') and found none. Without explicit numeric evidence, owner_occupancy cannot be determined and is left unknown rather than guessed.
Multiple listings mention 'the elevator' (e.g., 'rather then taking the elevator', 'across from the elevator'), confirming there is at least one elevator in the building. No remarks state a specific number (e.g., '2 elevators', 'four elevators'), and numeric fields must not be guessed without explicit evidence. I searched all remarks for numeric elevator mentions and found none.

Only 7 of 16 current MLS entries include OTCOEX (common area electric) and none of the public remarks mention common-area electricity being included. Historical confidence was Medium and evidence across multiple listings indicates agents are inconsistent or have unchecked the box; therefore building-level common-area electric being included is unlikely.

Eight of 16 MLS records list HOTWAT and one remark notes the building is "starting work on hot water, fire safety and waste drains," implying building-level hot water provisioning or upgrades. No listings show in-unit water heaters (WTRHTR=0), so evidence moderately supports that hot water will be or is included in HOA fees.

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.
High-confidence evidence: 14 of 16 MLS listings indicate WATER is included in association fees and public remarks contain no contradictory statements, consistent with prior High confidence that water is covered by 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 evidence that Ala Wai Cove offers building storage/lockers: historical MLS checkboxes noted storage in 9/16 listings (amenities) and 7/16 (unit features). Current public remarks explicitly mention storage on many listings—phrases include 'separate storage locker on the same floor', 'personal storage', 'storage closet', and 'storage in separate room'—indicating storage/lockers are consistently offered to residents rather than appearing to be copy-paste errors.
There are repeated references to storage lockers and additional storage (e.g., 'storage locker', 'personal storage', 'storage in separate room'), however none of the listings explicitly mention 'surfboard', 'board storage', or 'surf storage'. I searched for 'surfboard', 'surf', 'board storage', and related terms and found no matches.
No analysis available
8 of 16 current MLS records include TRACHU and historical data previously showed Medium confidence (7 of 15). Despite multiple listings checking the amenity, zero public remarks reference a trash/garbage/refuse chute, so the evidence is mixed and should be verified with the property manager or owner.

There are no references to a pool (saltwater or otherwise) in the remarks. I searched for 'pool', 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'salt', and similar terms and found nothing to indicate a pool exists.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building has shared laundry: at least 10 separate public-remarks entries in the current batch explicitly mention community or resident laundry (phrases include 'community laundry room', 'laundry facilities', 'community laundry with washer, dryer and deep sink', and 'laundry on the same floor'). This, combined with prior MLS data (14/16 listings checked COMLAU), indicates a consistent, building-level shared laundry amenity rather than isolated or mistaken listings.
Multiple listings mention community laundry on each floor or 'community laundry with washer, dryer and deep sink' (e.g., 'Community laundry...'), but none of the public remarks specify whether the machines are coin-op, card-operated, or free. I searched for terms like 'coin', 'quarters', 'card', 'coin-op' and found no references.
Multiple remarks explicitly state that community laundry facilities and personal storage are located on each floor (e.g., "located on each floor", "on your floor, you’ll find the convenience of laundry facilities and personal storage"). This is direct evidence from the public remarks.
All 16 current MLS listings include parking features (OPEN/COVER/GARAGE/ASSIGN), and the public remarks repeatedly reference parking (e.g., 'secure covered parking', 'covered parking stall', 'convenient street parking'). Evidence is consistent across many agent listings and historical data indicates parking has been a stable building feature.
Assigned parking is supported by MLS data (ASSIGN present on 12 of 16 listings) and multiple public remarks explicitly say things like '1 assigned covered parking', 'one full-size assigned parking stall', and 'deeded parking stall'. The evidence is strong and consistent across several agent listings, indicating assigned/reserved parking is offered in the building.
Many listings explicitly mention covered parking: '1 assigned covered parking', 'covered parking stall close by', 'Secure covered parking', and 'assigned covered parking stall.'
Listings explicitly mention a 'deeded parking stall' and repeatedly reference '1 assigned covered parking' or 'assigned parking stall', indicating parking is deeded/owned with the unit.

Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', 'parking rental', and similar phrases; none of the listings specify a monthly parking fee. Because no parking fee amount is provided in the remarks, the monthly parking fee is unknown (null) with low confidence.

Searched for terms like 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and 'join waitlist for parking' across all remarks and found none. Absence of any waitlist language suggests there is no formal parking waitlist mentioned, so set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
Listings consistently note a secure lobby and intercom (e.g., 'secure lobby with an intercom system'), but there is no explicit mention of card/fob/keycard access. I searched for 'card', 'fob', 'keycard', 'key card access', 'card reader' and found no matches in the public remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks describe a secure building and lobby/intercom system but do not reference any security patrol service. I searched for 'security patrol', 'patrol', 'roving security', and similar phrases and found no evidence of a 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
High-confidence building-level evidence: 15/16 current MLS records list concrete (CONCRE) and prior records likewise overwhelmingly identified concrete construction. Public remarks do not explicitly mention construction materials, but the consistency across multiple agent listings strongly indicates a concrete building rather than isolated checkbox errors.
Moderate evidence for double-wall construction: 9/16 current MLS records list double-wall (DOUWAL), consistent with prior medium-confidence data. Public remarks are silent on wall type, suggesting this feature is reported by multiple agent entries but should be confirmed for specific units if needed.
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.

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.

Searched for STR-related phrases (e.g., 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', 'NUC', and 30-day minimum language) and found no explicit allowance or prohibition. With no evidence in the listings that STRs are permitted, STR allowed is set to false with medium confidence.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel', and brand-related rental program language and found none. Because STRs are not indicated in the remarks, hotel-pool participation is set to false with medium confidence.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', and similar phrases and found no evidence that participation is required. Since STRs are not indicated and no listing states a mandatory program, mandatory pool participation is set to false with medium confidence.

Searched for 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold', 'lease expiry', and explicit 4-digit expiry years; nothing was found. With no specific year mentioned in the public remarks, the lease expiry is unknown (null) and returned with low confidence.
Searched all public remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. Because there is no explicit mention in the listings, we mark VA financing as not indicated (false) with medium confidence.
I searched all public remarks for explicit insurance coverage language (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'comprehensive building insurance') and found no references. With no current value provided and no mentions in the remarks, the default assumption per rules is false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
Public remarks explicitly mention the building is 'starting work on ... fire safety,' which implies ongoing work and not a completed/passed fire/life safety evaluation. I searched for phrases like 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', and 'passed fire inspection' and found none; instead the remarks indicate remediation work is underway.

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 current public remarks (at least 4 separate listings) explicitly reference sunsets and evening views — phrases include 'winding down at sunset', 'breathtaking sunset hues', and 'Enjoy the gorgeous sunset colors', and one remark also cites 'Friday night fireworks'. Historical MLS data also listed SUNSET in view_descriptions for several listings (5/16), and the repeated, specific sunset language across different remarks and agents supports including view_sunset for the building.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that residents can view Friday night fireworks from the lanai/units. This is directly stated in the public remarks and supports a high-confidence true.

The MLS amenity box 'RESMAN' is present in 13 of 16 current listings, supporting that the building likely has an on-site/resident manager. However, none of the public remarks across the listings explicitly state 'resident manager', 'on-site manager', or 'live-in manager', so the conclusion is based on repeated MLS checkbox usage (possible copy-paste) rather than direct remarks.
