Colony Surf Ltd
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.

The remarks were searched for owner-occupancy figures and descriptions such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied." No relevant statements were found, so the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown.
The remarks mention a "key elevator" and a "private elevator" for a penthouse, but do not state the building's total number of elevators. Phrases such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators" were not found, so the count remains unknown.
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.

Cable inclusion is consistently supported across the building: current MLS data shows CABTV in all 20 listings. Multiple remarks say fees include “cable TV,” “basic cable,” or “cable,” indicating strong building-level confirmation rather than an isolated copied entry.
Common-area electricity is supported by OTCOEX in 8 of 20 current MLS records. The remarks mostly discuss unit or building-wide utilities rather than explicitly saying “common electric,” so this feature has moderate rather than high confidence.
No analysis available
Electricity inclusion is exceptionally well supported, with ELECTR present in all 20 current listings. Multiple agents explicitly write “electricity included” or describe maintenance fees as covering “all utilities,” confirming the feature across the building.
Gas is strongly supported by both MLS data and remarks: 18 of 20 listings include GAS. Several remarks state that fees cover “gas” or list it alongside electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet.
Hot water inclusion is strongly supported, with HOTWAT in 19 of 20 current MLS records. At least one remark explicitly says the maintenance fee includes “hot water,” while the lone WTRHTR entry appears to be an isolated listing inconsistency.
Internet inclusion is consistently documented, with INTSER in 19 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks use phrases such as “internet included,” “WiFi,” or “WI-FI” alongside the maintenance-fee utility list.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by 18 of 20 current MLS listings. Several independent remarks explicitly list “sewer” among covered utilities, commonly together with electricity, water, gas, cable, and internet.
Water inclusion is well supported, with WATER present in 18 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks say fees include “water” or “all utilities,” and one explicitly lists water with hot water, sewer, electric, gas, Wi-Fi, and cable.

Moderate evidence: although only 1 of 20 MLS checkbox entries lists CONCIE, several listing remarks (at least a few agents) mention "front desk" or "24 hour front desk", implying a staffed front-desk/concierge presence; evidence is consistent in remarks but not widespread in amenity checkboxes, so confidence is moderate.

No public remarks across the collected listings mention a meeting or conference room, while only 3 of 20 current MLS entries list the MEEROO amenity. Evidence appears inconsistent and likely due to individual agents checking the box; insufficient corroboration in remarks to include this as a building-level amenity.

Historical data shows PRIYAR checked in only 1 of 20 listings. Across the many public remarks there are multiple mentions of private beach access and a private deck ('400 + private deck') but zero mentions of a private or fenced yard, enclosed yard, or yard access. Evidence does not support that the building offers private yard space and the single MLS checkbox appears to be a likely copy/paste mistake.

Restaurant is strongly confirmed across the listings, with numerous remarks from multiple listings and agents explicitly identifying Michel’s as an on-site Colony Surf restaurant. The repeated detailed references consistently describe it as located in the lobby, ground floor, or beach level, rather than merely nearby.

Several listings for Colony Surf reference storage options, including "extra storage," "added storage," and "secure surfboard and bicycle storage on site." This suggests the building does offer storage units or lockers for at least some owners, even though it is only surfaced in a small subset of MLS entries. The evidence looks like a real building amenity rather than a one-off copy-paste error, but it is not widespread enough for very high confidence.
Multiple listings directly confirm on-site secure surfboard storage. This is explicit building-level evidence, not merely a reference to nearby surfing.
No analysis available
No analyzed public remarks mention a trash chute, garbage chute, or refuse chute. Although 13 of 20 current listings include the TRACHU amenity, the historical confidence was low and the checkbox evidence may be copied without verification, so this feature remains tentative.

I searched for explicit saltwater-pool terminology and found no evidence in the public remarks. The supplied building context also indicates there is no pool, but the feature determination is based on the remarks.
Evidence for in-unit laundry is overwhelming and consistent across many listings, not a single outlier. Multiple remarks explicitly say "washer/dryer in unit," "integrated washer and dryer," or note new/approved washer-dryer installations, confirming this is a real building/unit feature available in many units. The pattern appears across multiple agents and listing styles, so this should be treated as a reliable building feature.
Community laundry is supported by current MLS amenity data in 14/20 listings and by an explicit remark describing a "laundromat downstairs." The evidence is consistent with a building-level shared facility, while repeated in-unit washer/dryer mentions describe unit-specific amenities rather than contradicting community laundry.
The remarks confirm that shared laundry may be available downstairs, but they do not establish that it requires payment. Because no explicit paid-laundry language was found, this remains false with limited confidence.
I searched for references such as "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on every floor," and floor-by-floor laundry. None were found in the public remarks.
Parking is strongly supported for Colony Surf. Across the provided listings, many remarks explicitly mention parking, including assigned parking stalls, guest parking, and parking included in the fee. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just a copied checkbox pattern.
Parking assigned is supported by many current listings and remarks across the building. Multiple listings explicitly state phrases like 'one assigned parking stall,' 'Parking is assigned,' '1 assigned parking,' and 'assigned parking as needed,' which aligns with the current MLS parking_features data (10/20 showing ASSIGN).
There is little to no remark-level evidence that the building offers covered parking. Only a small number of MLS checkbox entries indicate covered/garage types (3 of 20), but none of the public remarks mention a garage, carport, or covered stalls—suggesting covered parking is not a broadly advertised building feature.
The remarks repeatedly refer to assigned or available parking stalls, including stalls assigned by the building or for the duration of an owner's stay. They do not state that parking is deeded, owned, or included in the unit deed.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, and additional parking cost language. No explicit parking-specific fee was identified, although some listings mention maintenance fees and special assessments that do not establish a parking charge.
Guest parking is supported by 11 of 20 current MLS listings and explicit remarks from multiple listings, including "guest parking" and "additional parking for your guests upon availability." The evidence is consistent with a building amenity, although availability may depend on AOAO policies and parking assignments.
Several listings explicitly reference secured access, including "secure entry," "secured building with a key elevator," "security patrol," and "24-hour security." The remarks span multiple listings and agents rather than relying solely on the MLS checkbox, providing strong evidence that the building has controlled parking/building entry.

No analysis available
The remarks state that parking assignments depend on AOAO policies, availability, or owner status, and that some stalls are assigned or unassigned. No parking waitlist, waiting list, or instruction to join a waitlist was found.
No analysis available
I searched for card- or fob-based access terminology. Although the building is described as secure, no explicit card-access system is identified in the remarks.
At least 4 current listings explicitly mention security-related service, including "24-hour security," "security patrol," "secure entry," and "24 hour front desk," with additional listings describing the building as secure or having security. The evidence appears across multiple listing agents and is consistent with the prior high-confidence determination, rather than relying solely on copied checkbox data.
The remarks directly confirm security patrol service and 24-hour security. This is strong evidence that the building has active patrol-based security.
No analysis available
Multiple MLS fields previously flagged central A/C (4/20 unit_features, 3/20 inclusions) and the public remarks explicitly note 'both apartments have central A/C' in the Grand Penthouse listing (appears twice). Evidence shows central A/C is present in some units (penthouses); while not every unit mentions it, the explicit remark plus MLS checkboxes across listings provide strong confirmation that the building offers central air in at least some units.

No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported across all 20 current listings through consistent MLS material data showing CONCRE. The remarks repeatedly identify Colony Surf as an iconic, classic, or high-rise beachfront building, with no evidence contradicting the historically high-confidence concrete designation.
Double-wall construction is not supported by the public remarks across the listings reviewed. The MLS checkbox appears only in 2 of 20 current listings, which is too sparse to override the lack of explicit mention, so this is treated as likely noise or copy-paste data rather than a confirmed building characteristic.
No analysis available
6 of 20 current MLS listings include masonry & stucco (MASSTU) in construction_materials, but none of the public remarks mention 'masonry' or 'stucco.' This is limited, possibly inconsistent agent checkboxing, so inclusion is cautious (moderate confidence) reflecting that some listings indicate MASSTU while remarks are silent.
No analysis available
A subset of current MLS listings, 6 out of 20, indicate SLAB, but the public remarks do not explicitly mention a slab foundation. Because the feature appears in some current listings and there is no strong contrary evidence, it is reasonable to retain it with moderate confidence.

No analysis available
Only 1 of 20 current listings reports ABOGRO, so MLS support is weak and may reflect an isolated checkbox entry. Remarks do describe Colony Surf as a “high-rise destination” and frequently mention high-floor units, which implies an above-ground building but does not explicitly verify the construction material.

Multiple listings explicitly permit short-term vacation rentals subject to a 30-day minimum, including one statement that legal short-term vacation rental use is allowed. This establishes that STR is allowed under the building's stated rules, even though nightly or sub-30-day rentals are not indicated.
The remarks mention successful rental income and investment potential, but do not describe a hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, or management by a hotel. Since no such program is identified, hotel-pool participation is not supported.
The remarks were searched for required rental-program enrollment, mandatory hotel pool, inability to opt out, or similar language. None was found, and the remarks do not establish any hotel rental pool in the first place.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks state that one listing is currently leasehold and may convert from leasehold to fee simple upon sale. No specific lease expiration, ground-lease end date, or renewal year was found.
The remarks were searched for explicit terms such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.
The remarks were searched for statements that the building is fully insured, comprehensively insured, fully covered, or has walls-in coverage. No such insurance language was found, so full HOA insurance coverage cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, and passed fire inspection. None of these statements were found; this does not establish that the building failed an evaluation.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are strongly supported across the building, with 18 of 20 current listings mentioning OCEAN. Key phrases include "sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean," "direct oceanfront living," "infinite ocean views," and "unobstructed...Pacific Ocean View." The evidence appears across many listings and agents, not merely a single copied remark.
There is solid though not universal evidence for mountain views at Colony Surf. Multiple remarks mention “mountains” or “Diamond Head rises on the horizon,” and the current remarks include listings with “ocean, coastline, city, mountains, and Diamond Head views.” The feature appears available in some units, not all.
Diamond Head views are well supported, with 12 of 20 current listings mentioning DIAHEA. Remarks include "sweeping views of Diamond Head," "Diamond Head-facing," "majestic Diamond Head as your backdrop," and "Diamond Head directly from the windows." Although not every unit has this orientation, the building clearly offers units with this feature.
Present but less dominant: 10/20 MLS entries list city views and remarks mention 'Waikiki skyline'/'city' in a number of listings, indicating some units provide city/Waikiki skyline views.
Coastline views are strongly supported at Colony Surf. Several listings explicitly mention “coastline,” including “ocean, coastline, and Waikiki skyline” and “sweeping views of the Pacific, Diamond Head & Waikiki’s coastline.” The repeated use across multiple remarks suggests this is a real and common building-level view feature.
Insufficient evidence for garden views: only 3/20 MLS entries indicate garden historically and current public remarks do not reference garden or courtyard views, so building-level garden views are not substantiated.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Sunrise-related evidence is present in 6 of 20 current listings, including an "east-facing" residence and descriptions emphasizing morning swims and morning-oriented coastal exposure. The evidence is more limited and may partly reflect favorable orientation rather than a guaranteed sunrise view from every unit, but it supports including sunrise views as a building-level offering.
Colony Surf has clear evidence of sunset-view units. Multiple listings explicitly reference 'breathtaking sunsets,' 'spellbinding sunset views,' and sunset-oriented living, often alongside ocean-facing descriptions. The repeated references across different listings and agents suggest this is a genuine building feature rather than MLS copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly include fireworks among the views from the residences, rather than merely describing proximity to fireworks venues. This strongly confirms that units can view Friday-night fireworks from the building.

No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly supported by consistent MLS amenity data across listings: RESMAN appears in 16 of 20 current listings and 17 of 20 historical listings. Several remarks reference related on-site services such as “front desk service” and a “24 hour front desk,” confirming this is a persistent building-level service rather than an isolated agent entry.
