Chateau Waikiki
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.

I looked for explicit owner-occupancy language, including percentages and qualitative statements such as 'highly owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied.' The remarks do not provide any such figure or description, so the current value of 37% remains unchanged. No evidence in the listings confirms or contradicts it.
The public remarks directly confirm that the building has four elevators, and this appears repeatedly across listings. This is strong, consistent evidence, so the current value is fully supported.
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.
This feature is strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly state "maintenance fees cover electricity, central A/C" or "HOA includes central AC," and the pattern repeats across many agents and listing versions. The evidence is consistent and looks like repeated confirmation rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
No analysis available
Several listings indicate common-area costs are included, including phrases like "common area upkeep" and "maintenance of common elements." This aligns with the historical MLS signal and appears repeatedly in the Chateau Waikiki remarks. Confidence is high that maintenance fees include common-area expenses.
No analysis available
Electricity inclusion is mentioned very frequently throughout the remarks, often alongside water, sewer, and central AC. Phrases like "maintenance fees include electricity" and "HOA includes electricity" appear across many listings from different agents. This is strong, consistent evidence.
Moderate evidence: gas appears in a minority of listings (~4 of 20) with explicit phrases like 'maintenance fee includes... gas' or 'gas included' in several remarks. The evidence is consistent but not as widespread as electricity/water/sewer.
Hot water is explicitly listed in multiple remarks, such as "maintenance fees include... hot water" and "the maintenance fee includes water, sewer, hot water." The repeated phrasing across listings supports that this is a building-level included utility. There is no strong contrary evidence in the remarks.

Sewer inclusion is repeatedly confirmed in the remarks, commonly paired with electricity, water, and central AC. Phrases like "maintenance fees include... sewer" and "water/sewer" appear throughout the listings. The evidence is broad and consistent across multiple agents.
Water is one of the most consistently cited inclusions, with many remarks saying "water included" or listing water among the covered utilities. Historical MLS data is very strong at 18 of 20 listings. The evidence is broad and repetitive across many public remarks.
BBQ/grilling facilities are confirmed across the entire MLS set, with all listings checking the amenity. Remarks repeatedly reference 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ cabanas,' and 'gas BBQ grills,' showing clear building-level consistency.

Exercise facilities are strongly and repeatedly confirmed across the listing set, with roughly 19 of 20 MLS records showing the amenity. Public remarks consistently mention 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'exercise room,' and 'weight room,' indicating this is a shared building amenity rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
No analysis available
Meeting/conference-style space appears to be a real building amenity, supported by 16 of 20 MLS records. Remarks use varied but consistent phrasing—'meeting room,' 'party room,' 'party/meeting rooms,' and 'event space'—which strongly suggests a shared common room.
Strong building-level evidence supports patio/deck amenities. At least 15 current listings include PATDEC/COVPAT, and remarks consistently describe shared outdoor spaces such as 'patio areas for relaxing,' 'recreation deck,' '5th floor deck,' and 'BBQ cabanas.' The wording appears across many agents and listings, not just a single copied description, so this feature should remain enabled.
There is no meaningful corroboration in the remarks for a jogging or walking path, and the only MLS signal is a lone 1/20 mention. This looks much more like a checkbox inconsistency than a verified building amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Putting green evidence is weak compared with the other amenities, with only isolated MLS support (2 of 20). However, at least one remark explicitly lists a 'putting green,' so it is likely present but may be inconsistently reported.
There is strong evidence for a shared recreation area or amenity deck. Listings repeatedly mention the 5th-floor deck, landscaped pool deck, picnic areas, and similar common recreation spaces.
The building clearly offers a recreation-room type amenity, supported by 18 of 20 MLS records. Multiple remarks mention 'recreation room,' 'game room,' and 'party rooms,' so this appears to be a real shared amenity rather than a checkbox mistake.

Sauna is repeatedly confirmed throughout the listings, with 9 of 20 MLS records showing it and many remarks naming it directly. The repeated mention across different listings indicates a stable shared amenity.
Storage is very well supported at Chateau Waikiki. At least 15+ of the provided remarks explicitly mention “additional storage locker,” “storage locker,” “storage unit,” or “storage on the same floor,” and some describe location details like “same floor,” “next door,” or “assigned to this unit.” The evidence appears consistent across many listings and agents, not just copy-paste checkbox data.
The remarks directly confirm surfboard storage facilities, with repeated references to surfboard storage and racks for boards. This is strong evidence that the building offers surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported by the MLS data, with 19 of 20 listings indicating the feature. While the public remarks rarely mention it explicitly, the near-universal historical checkbox pattern makes this a highly reliable building feature.

Pool access is strongly confirmed at the building level. The remarks mention it across nearly every listing, with phrases like "swimming pool," "heated saltwater pool," "saltwater pool," and "large pool deck," indicating this is a shared amenity available to residents. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to reflect actual building amenities rather than copy-paste noise.
Multiple current agent remarks across the dataset explicitly state the pool is heated (phrases include "heated saltwater pool", "heated pool", and "large heated pool"). At least 10–15 separate listings mention a heated or heated saltwater pool (examples: "heated saltwater pool", "heated pool", "large heated saltwater pool"), matching prior high-confidence historical data and indicating consistent confirmation across multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste error.
The remarks directly and repeatedly identify the pool as saltwater, including heated saltwater pool wording. This is strong evidence that the building pool is salt water.
Laundry in unit is strongly supported at Chateau Waikiki. Numerous listings explicitly say "washer/dryer in unit," "in-unit laundry," or "washer and dryer in the unit," with several different remarks across many listings confirming the feature. The evidence is consistent across agents and matches the prior high-confidence MLS data.
No analysis available
I looked for public remarks indicating that any community laundry requires payment, including 'coin laundry,' 'quarters,' 'card operated,' or 'laundry fee,' and found nothing. The remarks consistently reference in-unit laundry instead of a paid shared laundry room. There is no public-remarks evidence for paid community laundry.
I searched the public remarks for floor-by-floor laundry references such as 'laundry on every floor,' 'laundry room on each floor,' or 'community laundry' and found none. Several listings mention in-unit washer/dryer, but that does not support a shared laundry facility on every floor. Based on the remarks, this feature is not evidenced.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence across many listings shows Chateau Waikiki offers assigned/reserved parking. At least a dozen remarks explicitly say "assigned parking," "1 assigned covered parking stall," or similar, indicating this is not just checkbox noise. The consistency across multiple agents makes this a high-confidence building feature.
Evidence for covered parking is overwhelming and appears across many separate listings. Remarks repeatedly reference covered stalls, garage parking, and covered assigned spaces, with several units also noting the stall is near the elevator or on a specific floor. This is a clear, well-supported building amenity.
Most parking mentions describe assigned, covered, or tandem stalls, but the key evidence is the explicit phrase "deeded parking stalls." That confirms parking is deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for explicit wording such as "parking fee," "monthly parking charge," "additional parking cost," and "parking rental," but found none. The listings mention parking stalls, covered parking, and guest parking, but do not state any separate monthly parking fee.
Guest parking is directly referenced in multiple remarks, not merely implied by MLS checkboxes. Several listings explicitly call out visitor parking or guest parking for family and friends. The repeated mentions across different listings support this as a real building feature.
There is solid evidence that the parking/building access is secured. Listings reference secured entry, secured building, 24-hour security, and gated garage access, suggesting controlled access rather than open parking. While not as universal as covered parking, the feature appears consistently enough to include.
Multiple agent remarks explicitly describe tandem parking, including "two tandem parking stalls," "two parking stalls in tandem," and "open tandem parking stalls." These are detailed, repeated descriptions rather than generic checkbox usage. The evidence strongly supports tandem parking being available in the building.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit references to a parking waitlist or parking waiting list and found none in the remarks. The public descriptions focus on assigned, covered, tandem, and guest parking, but do not indicate that parking requires joining a waitlist.
No analysis available
I searched for access-control wording such as key card access, fob access, card readers, or electronic entry systems, but found no direct references. The public remarks do mention 'secured entry,' 'secured building,' and 'gated garage,' but that is not the same as a card/fob system. Based on the remarks, card access is not confirmed.
Very strong building-level evidence supports security guard service at Chateau Waikiki. Dozens of current listing remarks mention it directly, including phrases like “24-hour security,” “24-Hour security guard,” “security personnel and front desk operator,” and “24/7 security,” suggesting consistent rather than incidental reporting. The current remarks also match the historical MLS pattern (18/20 listings with SECGUA), so this appears to be a stable shared amenity.
I specifically looked for patrol-related wording such as 'security patrol,' 'roving security,' or 'patrolled building' and found none. Public remarks emphasize guards, 24-hour security, and front desk staffing, which support security presence but not a patrol service. There is no remark-based evidence for security patrol.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence for central air conditioning. Well over 20 listings mention it directly, often as part of maintenance fees that include "central A/C" or "central AC," and multiple remarks describe the unit/building as having central air. The consistency across many listings and different agents looks like repeated confirmation rather than copy-paste error.

Strong building-level evidence supports concrete construction. Current MLS data shows 20/20 listings marked CONCRE, while the public remarks focus on unit renovations, views, and amenities rather than structure type. This appears to be consistent MLS data rather than a copy-paste issue.
Insufficient evidence for double-wall construction: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings include 'DOUWAL' and there are no public remarks mentioning 'double wall' or similar phrasing. Prior confidence was Low and the remarks do not confirm the feature, so it is omitted.
No analysis available
Minimal evidence for masonry & stucco: only 2 of 20 current MLS listings list 'MASSTU' and there is no historical data or any public remarks mentioning 'masonry' or 'stucco'. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, this feature is omitted for now.
No analysis available
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings indicates 'SLAB' and none of the public remarks reference a concrete slab foundation. With no corroborating agent remarks or historical evidence, slab foundation appears unsupported and is likely an isolated MLS checkbox entry.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Only 3 of 20 recent MLS records include 'ABOGRO' and none of the public remarks reference 'above ground' construction or materials. With no prior confidence and no corroborating remarks, there is insufficient evidence to assert the building is categorized as 'above ground' construction.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks do not advertise short-term rental permission; instead, they reference a 30-day minimum, which is treated as not allowing STR. I also looked for terms like legal short-term rental, TVU, NUC, or vacation-rental permissions and found no supportive evidence.
I searched for hotel rental pool, hotel-managed program, Hilton/Ritz pool, or similar branding and found none. Since the remarks do not indicate STR permission, this must remain false.
I searched for mandatory pool language such as required participation, cannot opt out, or must rent, but found nothing. There is also no evidence of a hotel rental pool program, so this remains false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The building is repeatedly described as leasehold, and the lease expiry year is stated clearly in the remarks. The most specific and repeated date is 2050.
The remarks directly advertise VA assumable financing and one listing explicitly states the building is "VA-approved." That is strong public evidence that VA financing is accepted/available for this building.
There is repeated, direct language indicating the building is fully insured, especially for hurricane coverage and full replacement. This is strong evidence that the HOA carries comprehensive building insurance/walls-in coverage.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for language like 'fire life safety evaluation passed,' 'FLSE passed,' 'fire safety certified,' and similar inspection-approval wording. The listings mention security, hurricane insurance, and building maintenance, but nothing that confirms a passed fire/life safety evaluation. Because there is no explicit evidence in the public remarks, this is treated as not confirmed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Ocean views are strongly supported across the remarks, with well over a dozen listings explicitly referencing them. Phrases like "ocean view," "partial ocean views," "breathtaking ocean views," and "Pacific Ocean" appear repeatedly across different agents, suggesting this is a real building-level offering rather than copy-paste noise.
Mountain views are consistently mentioned in multiple public remarks and align with the current MLS view data. The remarks include specific references such as "Koolau mountain views," "mountain views," and units overlooking "lush mountains," confirming this feature with high confidence.
Diamond Head is explicitly cited in numerous public remarks and appears in 4 of 20 current MLS view_descriptions. Phrases such as "Diamond Head views" and "ocean, Diamond Head, and sunrise views" appear across listings, indicating the building offers units with Diamond Head views.
City views are extremely well documented across the remarks and are strongly reflected in the current MLS data. Multiple listings explicitly mention "city views," "city lights," "downtown Honolulu," and "urban" views, often alongside ocean/canal views, showing this is a common building feature rather than a one-off marketing claim. The evidence is consistent across many different listings and agents, so confidence is very high.
Multiple listings (several entries) explicitly or implicitly reference coastline/shoreline views (phrases like 'ocean, coastline, mountain, city & sunset views' and numerous ocean-view mentions that reference shoreline features), indicating that some units offer coastline/shoreline vistas.

Strong evidence the building offers marina/harbor/canal views: current MLS summary reports ~11 of 20 listings include MARCAN and the public remarks repeatedly state "Ala Wai Canal", "Ala Wai Boat Harbor", "Yacht Harbor" and even "Marina and city views." This is confirmed across multiple agent remarks rather than a single isolated copy/paste entry.
Sunrise views are mentioned in a smaller subset of listings (2/20 in current MLS) and appear explicitly in public remarks such as "sunrise views" and "wake up to morning light." While not as widespread as ocean or city views, there is enough repeated mention to include sunrise views with moderate confidence.
Clear evidence the building offers sunset/west-facing views: current MLS summary notes ~7 of 20 listings with SUNSET and the remarks include explicit phrases like "stunning sunset", "Waikiki sunsets", and "sunset lanai" across numerous listings, showing consistent confirmation from multiple agents.
No analysis available
There is direct, repeated evidence that units in this building can view Friday night fireworks from the building/lanai. This is strong public-remarks evidence, not just proximity to fireworks.

Strong, repeated evidence that Chateau Waikiki has an on-site/resident manager. Multiple remarks explicitly say "on-site building manager," "resident manager," and mention the "manager’s office," which is consistent with the historical RESMAN amenity appearing in many MLS listings. This looks like a real building feature, not a one-off agent copy-paste error.
