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 searched for a numeric owner-occupancy figure like "80% owner occupied" or similar wording, but found no percentage in the remarks. Since the current value already exists and there is only a general owner-occupied mention, I kept 44.0 with low confidence.
I searched the public remarks for a specific elevator count such as "2 elevators" or "multiple elevators," but found no explicit number. Because the current value already exists and nothing contradicts it, I kept 2 with low confidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
The evidence points to individual unit air-conditioning, not central AC: remarks consistently reference window ACs, a Friedrich unit, or newly replaced AC units inside the condo. Since only 1/20 listings currently show ACCEN and there are no remarks describing building-wide central air service, this feature should be treated as absent.
Strong building-level evidence that cable TV is included in the maintenance fee. Multiple listings say "basic cable" or "cable TV included," and the current MLS data supports this in 17/20 listings, suggesting a consistent inclusion rather than agent copy-paste noise.
This feature has moderate but consistent support: 13/20 current listings include OTCOEX, and multiple remarks mention 'common expenses' as part of the maintenance fee. The evidence suggests the HOA fee includes at least some common-area operating costs, though agents are not always precise about the exact scope.
No analysis available
Electricity is one of the clearest inclusions at this building. The current MLS data is unanimous (20/20), and remarks repeatedly confirm it with phrases like "maintenance fee includes electricity" and "ALL utilities."
No analysis available
Hot water is repeatedly listed as included in the maintenance fee. The MLS data shows HOTWAT in 16/20 listings, and remarks explicitly say "hot water" is covered alongside electricity, water, sewer, and cable.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion appears highly consistent across the building. The MLS data shows SEWER in 19/20 listings, and several remarks list sewer among the included utilities, reinforcing that this is a building-level feature.
Water is clearly included in the maintenance fee. The current MLS data shows WATER in 19/20 listings, and remarks repeatedly confirm it with phrases like "water included" and "all utilities."
BBQ/grilling appears to be an available building amenity based on current MLS data, with 14 of 20 listings checking the BBQ box. The public remarks do not explicitly mention BBQ, so this looks like checkbox-based evidence rather than repeated descriptive confirmation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash is supported, but only weakly to moderately. I found explicit wording in the remarks once ('even a car wash area'), while the MLS checkbox appears in 8 of 20 listings, suggesting a real amenity that may be inconsistently copied into the data. The evidence looks limited to a few agents rather than being broadly repeated.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Dog park/pet area is well supported across the remarks, with many listings explicitly saying 'dog park,' 'pet friendly dog park,' 'rare private dog park,' or describing an 'outdoor path to walk their dogs.' The repeated language across multiple agents, plus the current MLS DGPRK checkbox appearing in 8 of 20 listings, makes this a strong building feature.

I found no public remarks describing a recreation area, recreation deck, or recreation space, and the current MLS data shows the RECARE checkbox in only 2 of 20 listings. That level of sparse support suggests the feature is likely not a real shared amenity, or it is being copied inconsistently by agents.

Sauna is strongly confirmed across the remarks, appearing in many listings with phrases like 'pool and sauna,' 'swimming pool and sauna,' and 'saunas.' This is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with current MLS data showing 18/20 listings checked SAUNA. Confidence is very high.
No analysis available
This feature is strongly supported by many repeated public remarks. The building is explicitly described as having surfboard storage, often paired with kayak or bike storage, so this is a clear yes.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported by the current MLS checkbox data, with 18 of 20 listings marked TRACHU. The public remarks do not explicitly mention a trash chute, but the very high checkbox frequency suggests it is a real building feature rather than a copy-paste error. Confidence is high despite the lack of remark-level confirmation.

The building has very strong, repeated evidence of a shared swimming pool. Current remarks mention a pool in many listings, including phrases like "resort-style amenities including a pool," "swimming pool," "circular swimming pool," and "on-site pool," alongside sauna and storage amenities. This is consistent across multiple agents and appears to be a stable building amenity rather than copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit wording such as 'salt water pool,' 'saltwater pool,' or 'saline pool' and found nothing. The listings only mention a pool and sauna, so there is no public remark evidence to support a salt pool.
This feature is strongly supported and appears consistently across many listings for the building. At least 15+ current remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry using multiple formulations, including 'in-unit washer/dryer,' 'in unit laundry,' 'stack washer-dryer,' and 'full size washer and dryer.' The evidence looks consistent across multiple agents/listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit evidence that a shared laundry room requires payment, such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, or laundry fees. The listings instead reference in-unit washer/dryer and a 'new laundry center' without any indication of a paid community laundry setup.
I searched the public remarks for wording like 'laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room on every floor,' or similar floor-by-floor laundry references and found none. The remarks only mention in-unit laundry, a new laundry center, or laundry/dryer inside individual units.
Parking is strongly supported across the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention "parking stall," "covered parking," "secured parking," "tandem parking," and "parking structure," and the current MLS data shows parking features in 20/20 listings. This looks like consistent building-level data rather than a one-off agent error.
Assigned/reserved parking is well supported, with 13 of 20 current MLS records marked ASSIGN. Remarks across many listings reinforce this with phrases like "premium secured parking stall," "best stall in the condo," and "two parking stalls," indicating specific or designated parking rather than general open parking. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing descriptions.
Covered parking is strongly confirmed across the remarks: multiple listings say "covered parking," "covered/gated," "secured covered parking," and "parking structure," often paired with tandem stalls. At least a dozen listings mention it, and several add details like ground-floor access, remote-control gate, or parking right next to the lobby, indicating this is a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise.
I searched for explicit deeded-parking indicators like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed and found none. The listings consistently describe assigned, secured, or tandem parking, but that is not enough to confirm deeded ownership.
No analysis available
I looked for parking-cost language such as monthly parking fee, parking rental, or separate stall charge and found nothing. The remarks describe parking spaces and stalls, but do not state any fee.
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.
Tandem parking is explicitly described in multiple listings, and the references are detailed enough to indicate a real feature rather than checkbox noise. Current remarks mention both single tandem stalls and two-stall tandem arrangements, making this a strong building-level parking option for buyers searching for tandem parking.
No analysis available
I searched for any reference to a parking waitlist system, including phrases like waiting list or join waitlist, and found none. The listings instead describe available stalls and parking included with units.
No analysis available
I looked for card-based access language like key card, fob access, card reader, or keycard entry and found none. The listings do refer to secured entry and a secured building, but that is not enough to confirm a specific card/fob security system.
No analysis available
I searched for any reference to patrol service or roving security and found nothing. The remarks mention a resident manager and general security/secured access, but not a patrol program.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe central air conditioning, forced air, HVAC, or fan-coil service for the building. Instead, the remarks repeatedly describe window AC, Friedrich AC, or generic in-unit AC, which supports unit-level cooling rather than building-wide central air. With 0/20 current unit_features showing central AC and no corroborating remarks, central AC is not supported.
No analysis available
Window AC is strongly supported for this building. Across many current listings, agents explicitly mention window units in the bedroom and living area, with several noting replacements or new installations. The evidence is consistent across multiple remarks and aligns with the high-confidence historical MLS data.
Concrete construction is supported by extremely strong historical MLS evidence: 19 of 20 listings use CONCRE. None of the public remarks explicitly mention concrete, but the checkbox pattern is consistent enough to treat this as a building-level feature with very high confidence.
There is no remark-level evidence for double wall construction. With only 4 of 20 listings checked in MLS and no descriptive support from agents, this looks like inconsistent checkbox data rather than a verified building characteristic.
No analysis available
There are no public-remarks mentions of masonry or stucco in the multiple Canal House listings reviewed. Because only 2/20 current listings show MASSTU, this looks like inconsistent MLS coding rather than a confirmed building-wide construction type.
No public remarks reference steel frame, steel frame construction, or similar wording across the listing set. With only 2/20 current listings showing STEFRA and no corroboration from agents' descriptions, the evidence is too weak to treat this as a building feature.

Public remarks do not explicitly say 'above ground construction,' but the feature has stronger support than the other construction fields because it previously carried high confidence and still appears in 5/20 current listings. The evidence is still indirect, so this is supported more by MLS consistency than by agent descriptions.
Brick construction is not supported by the remarks and appears to be an isolated MLS checkbox entry. Only 1 of 20 listings shows BRICK, while the rest do not, so this should be treated as not a building feature.
No analysis available
The public remarks directly state that rentals with a minimum 30-day period are allowed, which indicates STR is permitted under a mid-term minimum. This is strong evidence that short-term rental use is allowed in the building as described.
I searched for hotel rental pool language such as hotel pool, managed by hotel, or branded rental program and found none. Since the remarks only mention ordinary rental flexibility, there is no evidence of a hotel pool program.
I looked for language suggesting mandatory participation in any rental pool, such as must participate or cannot opt out, and found nothing. The remarks point to owner flexibility rather than a required rental program.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording such as ground lease, lease expiry, or renewal dates and found nothing. The remarks do not provide any specific year for a land lease expiration.
I searched the public remarks for VA loan approval or VA financing references and found none. Based on the available listing text, there is no evidence that this building is VA-approved.
The remarks repeatedly and clearly state that the building is fully insured, including multiple references to 100% hurricane coverage. This is strong direct evidence, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit language like fire/life safety evaluation passed, FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection. The remarks discuss fire system upgrades and completed projects, but that is not the same as a confirmed pass, so I did not mark this true.

Mountain views are a clear building-level feature for Canal House. Well over 10 listings mention them, often with explicit phrases like "Koolau Mountains," "mountain views," and "treetop mountain view." The repeated references across many remarks strongly confirm this as a recurring offering in the building.
No analysis available
City views appear to be available in some units rather than being a dominant building-wide theme. The current remarks include phrases like "sparkling city lights" and "Honolulu city lights," and the MLS data shows 6/20 listings with CITY in the view descriptions. That supports including the feature, but with lower confidence than mountain or canal views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Golf course views are a clear and repeated feature of the building. More than 10 listings mention them, often alongside mountain and canal views, with explicit phrases like "Ala Wai Golf Course" and "golf course views." The consistency across many remarks makes this highly reliable.
Marina/canal views are strongly established at Canal House. Many listings mention "Ala Wai Canal," "canal view," or similar water-view language, and the recurring phrasing across numerous remarks suggests this is a genuine building-level feature rather than MLS checkbox noise. The evidence is broad and consistent across listings.
There is no meaningful remark-level evidence for sunrise views. Current listings repeatedly discuss mountain, canal, golf course, and city-light views, but none explicitly mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure. The limited MLS checkbox presence does not outweigh the lack of supporting remarks.
No analysis available
There are no remarks describing cemetery views, overlooking a cemetery, or views of a cemetery. With only a single MLS mention and no supporting text evidence, this appears to be an incorrect or irrelevant checkbox.
I searched for statements about viewing Friday night fireworks from the building, lanai, or unit, but found none. The remarks describe canal, golf course, mountain, city, and occasional ocean/hallway views only.

Strong evidence the building has a resident/on-site manager. Multiple remarks from different listings explicitly say "friendly onsite manager," "onsite manager," "on-site manager," and "Resident Manager lives in the building," which is consistent with the prior high-confidence MLS data. This appears repeatedly across listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
