Canal House
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 explicit statements such as 'X% owner occupied', 'mostly owner occupied', or 'high owner occupancy' and found none. Since no listing provides a percentage or clear characterization, I retained the existing 44.0 value with low confidence.
Listings mention the presence of elevators but do not state how many (no phrases like '2 elevators' or 'two elevators'). I searched for explicit counts and found none, so I kept the existing value of 2 with low confidence due to lack of direct confirmation.

Multiple listings state that maintenance fees include cable or Cable TV, with phrases like “cable TV and common expenses,” “basic cable,” and “INCLUDES ELECTRICITY, Cable TV, water, sewer.” MLS association_fee_includes also shows CABTV checked in 18/20 records. This broad, multi-agent evidence strongly supports that cable service is included in the building’s maintenance fees.

Remarks across many listings repeatedly note that electricity is included in the maintenance fee, often as part of “all utilities included” or spelled out (“includes hot water, water, electricity and basic cable”). MLS checkbox data (ELECTR in 20/20 listings) is fully consistent with these remarks. This clearly establishes that HOA fees include electricity for the building.
No analysis available
Several listings specifically state that hot water is included in the maintenance fee, often alongside electricity, water, sewer, and cable. MLS association_fee_includes also shows HOTWAT checked in the vast majority of units and no evidence of individual water heaters. Together, this strongly supports that building-supplied hot water is included in the monthly fees.

Several independent listings state that sewer is included in the maintenance fee, frequently in lists like “electricity, cable tv, sewer, water and common area expenses.” All current MLS entries also flag SEWER under association_fee_includes. This consistent evidence from both remarks and MLS data confirms that sewer charges are included in the HOA fees.
Public remarks across many listings repeatedly note that water is included in the maintenance fees, sometimes separately and sometimes as part of “all utilities included.” MLS data (WATER checked in 20/20 listings) aligns fully with these statements. This provides strong, building-wide evidence that water charges are included in the HOA dues.
BBQ or grill facilities are not mentioned in any of the compiled public remarks, but 13 out of 20 current MLS listings have the BBQ amenity box checked. This majority MLS pattern implies the presence of a shared BBQ/grilling area, though agents may be relying on checkbox defaults rather than emphasizing it in descriptions. Treated as an implied building amenity with moderate confidence.

At least 8 listings explicitly reference a dog-related amenity such as 'dog park,' 'pet friendly dog park,' 'rare private dog park,' or an 'outdoor path to walk their dogs.' These repeated, detailed mentions across different remarks confirm a dedicated on-site dog park/pet area available to residents’ pets.

Well over a dozen listings describe the building amenities as including a 'pool and sauna' or similar phrasing, with one noting a 'pool deck with saunas.' With 19 of 20 MLS entries also checking SAUNA, this amenity is clearly established as a standard building feature accessible to residents.
No analysis available
Public remarks consistently and repeatedly confirm dedicated surfboard storage in the building, often mentioned alongside bike and/or kayak storage. There are no remarks contradicting this, so surfboard storage is definitively available.
No analysis available
Although none of the narrative remarks call out a trash or garbage chute by name, every one of the 20 current MLS listings includes TRACHU in the amenities. This unanimous MLS indication supports that the building is equipped with a shared trash chute system on resident floors.

Multiple listings for Canal House consistently describe a shared building pool in the amenities, with phrases like "onsite pool," "swimming pool and sauna," and "building amenities include a resident manager, pool and sauna." Combined with 18 of 20 MLS entries checking a pool-related amenity, the evidence strongly supports that the building offers a common swimming pool for residents. This appears to be a well-established, widely advertised feature rather than a recent or mistaken addition in the MLS data.
No analysis available
I looked for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'saline pool', or 'salt pool' and did not find any. All references simply say 'pool' or 'swimming pool', which usually indicates a standard (non-saltwater) pool. With no explicit mention of saltwater, it is likely not a saltwater pool.
Multiple listings for this building explicitly describe in-unit laundry with phrases like 'in-unit washer & dryer', 'in-unit stacked washer/dryer', and 'full size front-loading washer and dryer...inside the unit', and MLS inclusions show washer/dryer on 20/20 records. The consistency and frequency of these mentions across many separately written remarks strongly indicate that Canal House units commonly have in‑unit laundry. Buyers seeking buildings that offer in‑unit washer/dryers would clearly find this building relevant.
No analysis available
I looked for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'card-operated laundry', 'laundry fee', or similar and found none in the remarks. Since laundry appears to be in-unit rather than shared, there is no evidence of a paid community laundry system. Absence of any such wording across many listings makes a paid community laundry unlikely.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or any community laundry reference and found none. Instead, every listing highlights in-unit laundry, which suggests there is not a community laundry on every floor. Given the strong and repeated in-unit focus, it's likely no such per-floor community laundry exists.

Covered parking is repeatedly described in the remarks, including phrases like 'Secured COVERED PARKING,' 'this unit parking is covered,' and '1 covered Parking Stall.' At least several different listings from different agents mention covered stalls, and 16/20 MLS entries have a covered/garage-type parking feature checked, indicating the building offers covered parking to residents.
Public remarks consistently describe assigned/numbered stalls that are included with the condo, sometimes including extra or tandem stalls. The repeated phrasing that stalls 'come with the unit' strongly suggests deeded or permanently assigned parking rather than a rental arrangement.
No analysis available
I searched for terms such as 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', 'additional parking cost', or 'parking rental' and found no references. Parking appears to be included with the units, so no separate fee can be identified from remarks.
No analysis available
Numerous listings mention secured parking, using phrases like 'Residence enjoy secure parking,' 'Residents benefit from secured parking,' 'Covered and secure parking,' and 'parking stall is on the ground floor and secured behind a remote control gate.' This language appears across many different listings and agents, strongly supporting that the garage/parking area has secured entry rather than being open-access.

Listings consistently mention assigned or included stalls (often specifying quantity or stall quality) but never refer to joining a parking waitlist. This absence suggests there is no formal parking waitlist system described in the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases such as 'key card access', 'fob access', 'keycard entry', or 'card reader' and found no matches. Generic statements about secure/secured access are not enough to confirm a card/fob system. In the absence of explicit wording, a card-based security system is unlikely or at least not confirmed in public remarks.
No analysis available
I specifically looked for 'security patrol', 'roving security', 'patrolled', or similar wording and found none in any listing. Security appears to be via building access control and onsite/resident manager rather than active patrols. The lack of any patrol-related language across many listings makes regular security patrols unlikely.

At least 7–8 listings explicitly note window air conditioning, with phrases like 'window AC,' '2 window AC units,' and a 'Friedrich AC unit' in the bedroom. MLS metadata (ACWIUN) is checked on 16 of 20 listings, and the narrative remarks across multiple agents consistently confirm the presence of window AC units. This is strong, building-wide evidence that Canal House offers units with window air conditioning.
Current MLS data unanimously (20/20 listings) indicates concrete construction for this building. While the public remarks do not explicitly say “concrete,” the consistent checkbox data across all listings for this high-rise Waikiki condo strongly supports that it is a concrete building.

Public remarks describe the building as allowing a minimum 30-day rental term, indicating it is for mid- to long-term rentals only. No listings mention legal short-term vacation rental status, NUC, or TVU, so STR is considered not allowed under this definition.
Listings mention amenities like pool, sauna, dog park, surfboard/kayak storage, and on-site/resident manager, but nothing about participation in a hotel rental program. Combined with STR not being allowed, this indicates there is no hotel pool arrangement.
No listings mention any requirement to participate in a rental or hotel pool, or any pool at all beyond the recreational swimming pool. Since there is no hotel pool program and STR is not allowed, mandatory pool participation does not apply and is set to false.

I looked for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', or a specific year tied to lease expiration, and none were present. Without a stated lease expiry year, this field must remain unknown.
I searched all remarks for any indication that the building is VA approved or accepts VA financing and found none. In the absence of any explicit statements, it is likely not marketed as VA-approved.
Repeated references to 100% hurricane coverage and the building being 'fully insured' indicate a strong, consistent pattern of comprehensive HOA insurance. This strongly supports that the building is fully insured with a master/walls-in type policy.
No analysis available
I searched for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no references. With no direct evidence that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation, this is set to false by default.

Most of the provided remarks highlight Ala Wai Golf Course views, often phrased as 'sweeping panoramic views of the Ko'olau Mountains, Ala Wai Canal, and Golf Course' or 'lush greenery of the Ala Wai Golf Course.' With multiple MLS entries checking GOLCOU and many agents independently marketing this view, it's clear that golf course views are widely available in this building. Buyers searching for golf course views should definitely consider this property.
Multiple listings (well over half of the remarks provided) describe direct views of the Ala Wai Canal, often as a primary selling point (e.g., 'Ala Wai Canal/golf course', 'canal and mountain view'). Combined with MARCAN being selected in the MLS for several units, this strongly supports that the building offers marina/canal-type views from many units. Buyers seeking marina/canal views would clearly be interested in this building.
Across all the supplied remarks, agents repeatedly describe mountain, canal, golf course, Diamond Head, and occasional ocean views, but never mention sunrise views or morning sun. With only 2/20 MLS entries selecting SUNRIS and no textual support, those few checkboxes are likely generic or erroneous. As a result, sunrise views are not treated as a building-level feature here.

I searched the remarks for any reference to fireworks views, such as 'watch fireworks from your lanai' or 'fireworks view', and found none. While many view descriptions are detailed, none mention fireworks specifically. This absence across extensive marketing remarks suggests fireworks views are not a notable feature.

Multiple listings explicitly reference a resident or on-site manager, including phrases like 'onsite manager,' 'friendly onsite manager,' 'resident manager' and 'on-site manager' in the amenity descriptions. Combined with 13 of 20 MLS entries checking the resident manager amenity, this provides strong, building-wide evidence for an on-site/resident manager. The consistency and specificity across several different remarks suggest this is a genuine, established building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
