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.

I looked for owner-occupancy figures such as "80% owner occupied" or qualitative wording like "mostly owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." The remarks do not provide any occupancy ratio or similar indicator. Because there is no explicit evidence, the percentage remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts like "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or similar wording. None were found. The remarks do confirm elevator access exists, but they do not provide a building-wide count, so the number 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 TV inclusion is strongly supported across the building. Several listings explicitly state the fee covers "cable TV," "basic cable," or cable alongside other utilities, which is consistent with the unanimous MLS pattern and suggests this is not a copy-paste anomaly.
There is moderate building-level evidence that common-area electricity is included, with 7/20 MLS records showing OTCOEX. The public remarks mostly mention general electricity being included, not specifically hallway/elevator/common-area power, so this is weaker than the other utility inclusions. Still, the recurring MLS checkbox suggests it is likely a real building feature.
No analysis available
Electricity is one of the strongest-supported inclusions in Colony Surf. Multiple listings say the monthly fee includes "electricity" or "all utilities," matching the unanimous MLS checkbox data and showing broad consistency across agents.
Gas is strongly supported by both MLS data and remarks. Nearly all listings show GAS in the fee inclusions, and several remarks explicitly mention gas range or “maintenance fee includes... gas.” This is high-confidence building-level evidence.
Hot water appears to be included in the building’s maintenance fee, supported by strong MLS history and explicit remark language. One listing even states the fee includes "water, hot water, sewer, trash, electric, gas, WI-FI, cable TV," which is direct evidence rather than inference.
Internet is extremely well supported in the building. The MLS data is unanimous (20/20), and numerous remarks explicitly mention “internet included” or WiFi. This is a highly consistent building-level amenity and likely not a copy-paste mistake.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by both MLS history and public remarks. Several listings list sewer together with electricity, water, and gas in the fee inclusions, indicating this is a building-level utility benefit and not a one-off agent entry.
Water inclusion is well supported across the building. Many remarks describe the fee as covering "water" or "all utilities," and this aligns closely with the strong MLS pattern, making the feature highly reliable.

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. Multiple remarks explicitly reference Michel’s as being “on the ground floor,” “located in the lobby,” or “right downstairs,” and several also mention dining at the restaurant as a building amenity. The evidence is consistent across many agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.

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.
I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, and surf storage language and found direct confirmation. The remarks explicitly state the building has secure surfboard storage on site.
No analysis available
Trash chute has moderate support from the current MLS checkbox data, with 12 of 20 listings marked TRACHU. However, none of the public remarks explicitly confirm a trash, garbage, or refuse chute, so this appears to be MLS-amenity data rather than text-verified evidence. Confidence remains modest until a listing remark directly mentions the chute system.

I searched for saltwater pool language such as "salt water pool," "saltwater," and "saline pool" and found no evidence. The building context also indicates there is no pool, so this feature is not supported.
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.
There is solid evidence the building offers shared/community laundry facilities, supported by historical MLS amenity data and at least one remark explicitly referencing a "laundromat downstairs." Current remarks do not mention it as often as in-unit laundry, but the recurring COMLAU flag suggests this is a genuine building amenity rather than a copy-paste error. This should remain included as a building-level feature.
I looked for coin-op, quarters, card-operated, fee-based, or other payment language and found no explicit machine payment terms. However, the remark stating there is a "laundromat downstairs" is strong evidence that any shared laundry would be paid rather than free.
I searched the remarks for explicit references to laundry facilities being available on every floor, such as "laundry on every floor" or "laundry room on each floor," and found nothing. The listings only mention in-unit washer/dryer and one reference to a laundromat downstairs, which does not support floor-by-floor community laundry.
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.
I searched for deeded, owned, or included-in-deed parking language and found none. The parking is described as assigned, unassigned, or subject to availability, which points away from deeded parking.
No analysis available
I looked for parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or additional parking cost language and found nothing explicit. Some listings mention assigned parking or parking included in fees, but no separate parking fee is stated.
Multiple listings and remarks confirm guest parking is available: several remarks state "guest parking" or "additional parking for your guests upon availability," and current MLS checkbox data also commonly includes GUEST (12 of 20), indicating the building typically provides guest parking.
Remarks frequently describe the building as secure ("secure entry", "24-hour security", "key elevator"), implying controlled access that may extend to parking; however, there are only a small number of MLS SECENT checkboxes and no detailed remarks stating a gated or card-access parking entrance, so the evidence is moderate and somewhat implied across agents.

I searched for "parking waitlist" or similar waiting-list language and did not find it. The public remarks only indicate assignment depends on availability/AOAO policy, which is not the same as a formal waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob access terms like key card access, fob access, card reader, and keycard entry, but found none. The listings do describe the building as secure, yet that is not the same as a card-based access system.
Security guard/service is strongly supported for Colony Surf. Across the remarks, multiple listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "security patrol," "secure entry," "secured building," and "24 hour front desk," indicating this is a building-level amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the historical MLS amenity data.
The remarks directly reference security patrol service, including 24-hour security. That is strong confirmation that the building has 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
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS data, with 20 of 20 current listings showing CONCRE. The remarks consistently describe Colony Surf as an iconic, classic, secure beachfront building, which aligns with reinforced concrete construction common for this type of high-rise.
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.

The remarks repeatedly and explicitly allow short-term rentals, including 30-day rentals and legal short-term vacation rental language. This is strong direct evidence that STRs are allowed in the building.
I searched for hotel pool language such as hotel rental pool, hotel program, or managed-by-hotel references and found none. Since STR is allowed but no hotel-rental program is mentioned, this is best marked false.
I looked for any indication of mandatory hotel-pool participation, such as required rental-program enrollment or no opt-out language, and found none. The remarks support optional rental use rather than a required pool arrangement.

I looked for ground lease language such as "lease expires [year]," "land lease to [year]," or renewal/extension dates and did not find a specific year. One remark mentions the unit is currently leasehold and will convert, but no lease-expiry year is provided.
I searched the remarks for explicit language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted" and found none. Based on the public remarks, there is no evidence this building is VA loan approved.
I searched the remarks for insurance-related language indicating the building is fully insured or has walls-in coverage. The listings discuss maintenance fees, utilities, security, and amenities, but not HOA insurance coverage. With no explicit mention, this is marked false at low-to-moderate confidence.
No analysis available
I looked for language such as fire/life safety evaluation passed, FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection. The listings do not mention any of these items. With no supporting remark evidence, this feature is marked false at low-to-moderate confidence.

Strong building-level support for ocean views at Colony Surf. Dozens of remarks mention 'ocean views,' 'Pacific Ocean,' 'oceanfront,' or 'ocean-facing' across many stacks and floors, indicating this is a core feature of the building. The evidence is broad across multiple agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste issue.
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 strongly supported at Colony Surf. Many remarks explicitly mention "Diamond Head," "Diamond Head views," "Diamond Head-facing," and "majestic Diamond Head as your backdrop," often alongside ocean views. The feature appears across multiple listings and agents, indicating that Diamond Head-view units are a real and recurring offering in the building.
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.

Evidence for sunrise views is limited but present. The current remarks include an east-facing residence and multiple references to morning swims, morning light, and eastern-facing/“cool side” exposure, which suggest sunrise potential in some units. This is not as explicit or widespread as ocean or Diamond Head views, so confidence is moderate.
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
The listings directly confirm fireworks views from the building/units, not just proximity to fireworks events. This is strong evidence that residents can see fireworks from the property.

No analysis available
Resident manager is supported by strong historical MLS evidence, with 17 of 20 listings marked RESMAN. Current remarks mostly mention front desk/security rather than using the exact phrase 'resident manager,' but there is no evidence of removal or correction. Overall, the feature appears to be a stable building amenity and may be under-described in public remarks.
