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 an explicit owner-occupancy percentage or strong wording such as "80% owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." The remarks only include a single general phrase indicating a homeowner-occupied unit, which is not enough to replace the numeric value. The current value of 44 remains, but with low confidence.
I searched the public remarks for an explicit elevator count or a phrase like "multiple elevators." The only evidence found was a generic mention of elevators in the building amenities, which does not confirm a different count. Given the current value and no contradictory number in remarks, the value remains 2.
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.
Cable TV inclusion is supported by many listings, with multiple remarks explicitly stating "basic cable," "cable TV included," and "INCLUDES ... cable tv." The MLS data is already high-confidence, and the remarks look consistently repeated across agents rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
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 building-level inclusions. Remarks repeatedly say "electricity included," "ALL utilities," and "INCLUDES ELECTRICITY," aligning with the MLS data showing ELECTR in every listing.
No analysis available
Hot water is repeatedly mentioned in the remarks, including phrases like "maintenance fee includes hot water" and "covers all utilities: electricity, water, sewer, hot water, cable." The MLS data also supports this as a common inclusion, and there is no strong contrary evidence suggesting building-supplied hot water was removed.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion appears consistent across the building. Several remarks explicitly mention "sewer" or "everything is included" in the maintenance fee, which matches the strong MLS pattern.
Water is clearly included in the maintenance fee. Remarks commonly say "water included," "all utilities," or list water alongside electricity, sewer, hot water, and cable, reinforcing the MLS data.
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
Only a few listings (approximately 2 of the 20 remarks) reference a "car wash area" or similar phrasing (e.g., "even a car wash area"). This suggests the building may offer a car wash facility, but the evidence is sparse and could be agent copy/paste—further verification recommended.

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 consistently confirmed across the remarks for this building, appearing in well over a dozen listings. Phrases like "swimming pool and sauna," "pool, sauna," and "pool deck with saunas" are repeated by multiple agents, so this does not look like a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
This feature is strongly supported by multiple listings. The remarks repeatedly and explicitly confirm dedicated surfboard storage facilities, often paired with bike or kayak storage.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported by strong current MLS checkbox data, with 18 of 20 listings marked TRACHU. The public remarks do not explicitly mention a trash or garbage chute, but there is also no evidence suggesting the feature was removed, so the MLS data is the best indicator here.

Strong, repeated evidence confirms Canal House has a shared swimming pool. The pool is mentioned in well over a dozen current listings by multiple agents, often alongside related amenities like sauna and surfboard storage, e.g. "amenities include a pool" and "on-site pool." This looks consistent across listings rather than a one-off or copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit salt-water pool wording such as saltwater pool or saline pool. The listings confirm an on-site pool and sauna, but there is no indication the pool is salt water.
This feature is strongly supported. Well over 20 listings mention it with phrases like "in-unit washer and dryer," "in unit laundry," "stack washer-dryer," and "full size front-loading washer and dryer." The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and years, suggesting this is a real building feature rather than copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I searched for signs that shared laundry requires payment, such as coin laundry or card-operated machines. The listings do not mention any paid community laundry system, so there is no evidence for this feature.
I looked for wording like laundry on each floor, every-floor laundry room, or floor-by-floor facilities. The public remarks instead point to in-unit washers/dryers and a laundry center, but nothing indicates community laundry on every floor.
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 confirmed across many remarks, with at least a dozen listings explicitly saying 'covered parking,' 'covered stall,' or 'this unit parking is covered.' The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and appears to be repeated accurately rather than copy-paste error. This is a strong building-level feature for Canal House.
I searched for explicit deeded-parking wording such as "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed" and found none. The remarks only indicate that parking is secured, covered, tandem, or included with the unit, which is not enough to confirm deeded status.
No analysis available
I looked for parking-cost language like "parking fee," "monthly parking," or "parking rental" and found nothing. The remarks describe parking as included/secured, but do not state any separate monthly charge.
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 phrases such as "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or "join waitlist for parking" and found no mentions. The remarks describe available parking stalls, not a queue or waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card reader, keycard, fob access, or electronic access language. The building is described as secure, but the remarks do not specifically confirm a card-based security system.
No analysis available
I searched for patrol-related security wording. The remarks mention a resident manager and secure access, but nothing about a security patrol service.
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 air conditioning is strongly supported for this building. I found explicit mentions in many remarks, including phrases like "2 new window AC units," "2 window ACs," "window AC for those warmer days," and "window AC unit" across numerous listings. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, so this appears to be a real building/unit feature rather than an MLS copy-paste error.
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
No public remarks (0 mentions) reference 'masonry', 'stucco', or 'masonry and stucco'. MLS material codes include MASSTU in 2/20 listings, but the absence of any supporting description across many agent remarks suggests these checkbox entries are inconsistent/copy-paste and masonry/stucco construction is not supported by the remarks.
No public remarks (0 mentions) reference 'steel frame' or similar. MLS material codes show STEFRA in 1/20 current listings, but with no corroborating agent remarks across the many listings this appears to be isolated/likely copy-paste. Given absent historical confidence and no supporting remarks, steel-frame construction is unlikely.

Above-ground construction is not corroborated by the public remarks. It appears in only a small minority of listings (4 of 20), while the remarks consistently focus on other amenities and building details without any mention of above-ground construction. This pattern suggests the MLS field is likely unreliable for this building.
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 remarks directly say a minimum 30-day rental period is allowed, which indicates STRs are permitted in a mid-term format. This is strong, explicit evidence that short-term rental use is allowed subject to the 30-day minimum.
I searched for hotel-pool indicators like "hotel rental pool," "managed by hotel," or branded pool programs and found none. Because the building allows only 30-day minimum rentals and no hotel program is mentioned, hotel pool participation is not supported.
I looked for language suggesting required participation, such as "mandatory pool," "must participate," or "cannot opt out," and found nothing. The remarks point to flexible rental use rather than a compulsory hotel or rental-pool arrangement.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold language and specific expiration years like "lease expires 2050," "ground lease ends," or "renewed through" and found no such information. There is no remark-based evidence to identify a lease expiry year.
I searched the public remarks for VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans" and found nothing. With no explicit statement supporting VA eligibility, this remains unsupported from the remarks.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly state that the building is fully insured, including references to 100% hurricane coverage. This is strong, consistent evidence across multiple listings. Confidence is very high.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE and passed fire inspection references. The listings mention completed smoke detector and piping projects, but that is not the same as a fire/life safety evaluation pass. With no direct mention, this remains false.

Mountain views are clearly a building-level feature. Across far more than 10 listings, remarks mention "mountain views," "Koolau mountain view," "views of the mountains," and "unobstructed mountain views," often alongside golf course/canal views. The repetition across many different listings makes this very strong evidence, not just checkbox noise.
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 mentioned in many listings, including phrases like “Ala Wai Golf Course,” “golf course views,” and “lush greenery of the Ala Wai Golf Course.” The consistency across many agents makes this a high-confidence building feature.
Marina/canal-style views are a major recurring feature of this building. Dozens of remarks reference "Ala Wai Canal," "canal view," or similar language, often paired with golf course and mountain views. The consistency across multiple agents strongly supports that buyers can expect canal/marina views in at least some units.
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 looked for direct references to fireworks views from a lanai, hallway, or unit. The remarks mention canal, mountain, golf course, Diamond Head, ocean, and rainbow views, but nothing about fireworks views.

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.

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.
