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.

Remarks discuss owner use and rental/short-term rental potential but provide no numeric or clearly quantifiable owner-occupancy information (no phrases like '80% owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied'). Because there is no explicit percentage, owner_occupancy is unknown.
Multiple remarks mention elevator service (e.g., "A private elevator gives you access..." and "secured building with a key elevator"), but no listing states a number of elevators. Because there is no explicit numeric count in the remarks and we must not guess, the elevator count is 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.

Strong building-level evidence: historical MLS checkbox CABTV present in ~18/20 listings and at least 4 separate public remarks explicitly state cable/cable TV is included (e.g., "Maintenance fee covers... cable", "includes ... cable TV"). Evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and listings, not a single isolated copy/paste.
4/20 current MLS records explicitly include OTCOEX (common area electricity) in association_fee_includes, and in high-rise condos common-area electric is typically covered by HOA fees even if not always remarked.
No analysis available
High confidence: MLS history indicates electricity included in most unit records (~18/20) and at least 6 public remarks explicitly state the maintenance fee covers electricity (e.g., "Maintenance fee covers electricity", "fee includes electric"). Consistent across many listings/agents.
Strong evidence: MLS history (17/20) and multiple public remarks explicitly list gas as included in the maintenance fee. The coverage is repeatedly mentioned across listings, indicating a building-wide inclusion rather than isolated errors.
Probable inclusion: MLS historically marked hot water included in ~17/20 listings and at least one public remark explicitly lists "hot water" among included utilities; other remarks note "all utilities" or "all utilities, cable TV and internet," supporting building-supplied hot water across units.
High confidence: MLS history (~17/20) and at least 5 public remarks explicitly list internet/Wi‑Fi as included (e.g., "includes internet", "WI-FI"), and other listings saying "all utilities" further support building-provided internet service.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: MLS records (approx. 18/20) and multiple public remarks explicitly list sewer as covered by the maintenance fee (quotes include "water, hot water, sewer" and "covers ... sewer"), showing consistent agent reporting across listings.
High confidence: MLS history (~18/20) plus multiple public remarks (at least 5) explicitly state water is included in the maintenance fee (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes Water, hot water, sewer...", "fee includes water"). Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents.

Strong, consistent evidence that the building has an on-site restaurant: at least 16 of the 20 MLS entries reference Michel’s/Michels (phrases include “Michel’s restaurant located in the lobby area” and “Michel’s at Colony Surf”/“Michel's on the beach level”). Mentions appear across many listings and agents rather than isolated notes, reinforcing that an in-building fine-dining restaurant exists.

Multiple listings call out dedicated, secure surfboard (and bicycle) storage as a building amenity. I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and similar phrases and found explicit references.

There are no references to a swimming pool, salt or otherwise, in the public remarks. I searched for 'pool', 'salt water', and related terms and found none; the building context also lists pool=False.
Strong evidence that many units have in-unit laundry: roughly 16–18 of the provided listings explicitly state 'washer/dryer in unit' or similar (e.g., 'washer & dryer', 'New Washer and Dryer inside the unit', 'Bosch washer/dryer'). Historical MLS inclusions also showed WASHER/DRYER checked on the majority of records. Multiple agents independently mention this, indicating building offers in-unit laundry in many units.
Moderate/limited evidence for a shared laundry: MLS amenity data shows COMLAU checked on ~13 of 20 listings, and at least one listing remark explicitly mentions a 'laundromat downstairs' and one notes 'laundromat downstairs' in addition to in-unit washers. Because only a few remarks mention it while many listings focus on in-unit machines, community/shared laundry is plausible but less consistently documented across agents.
Public remarks reference a building laundromat downstairs (e.g., 'laundromat downstairs'). There is no explicit phrase like 'coin-op' or 'card operated,' but laundromat implies a paid community laundry rather than complimentary laundry on each floor.
Listings repeatedly reference a laundromat downstairs and in-unit washers/dryers; there is no language indicating laundry rooms on each floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' or 'laundry room on every floor' and found none.
Strong evidence across listings that the building provides parking: at least 14 listings' remarks explicitly mention parking (e.g., "Parking stall will be assigned based on the availability at the time," "1 assigned parking," "assigned parking," "unassigned and one is assigned for the duration of owners stay"). The MLS parking_features checkboxes (17/20) align with the remarks, and wording appears consistently across multiple agents rather than isolated copy/paste errors.
Several listings explicitly mention '1 assigned parking', 'Parking is assigned', or 'reserved parking stall', and 11/20 MLS entries include ASSIGN in parking_features.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks state parking is assigned or unassigned and sometimes only assigned for duration of owner's stay, which is inconsistent with deeded/owned parking. Based on explicit language in remarks, parking is not deeded.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', and similar terms; none of the listings disclose a separate monthly parking charge. Because there's no information in the remarks, the monthly parking fee is unknown.

Searched for references to a parking waitlist or joining a waiting list; none found. Absence of mention suggests no formal waitlist referenced in the listings, but this is a medium-confidence inference from the remarks alone.
No analysis available
Listings mention secure entry and a key-operated elevator and staffed front desk/24-hour security, but I found no explicit mention of electronic card or fob access. I searched for 'key card', 'fob access', and 'card reader' and found no matches.
Current MLS checkbox data indicates 14/20 listings list SECGUA. Multiple agent remarks across different listings explicitly mention security features — phrases include "24-hour security", "security patrol", "secure entry", and "24 hour front desk" — supporting that the building offers on-site security. Evidence is consistent across several independent remarks and backed by the majority of MLS listings, so inclusion is warranted.
Public remarks directly reference security patrol and 24-hour security (e.g., 'secured building with a key elevator, security patrol, and 24-hour security'). I searched for security-related terms and found explicit mentions of patrol/security staff.
No analysis available
Explicit mentions of 'central A/C' appear in the public remarks for the Grand Penthouse entries ('both apartments have central A/C'), and MLS checkbox data shows ACCEN/CENAC in 3 of 20 listings (with ACCEN in inclusions for 2 listings). Evidence indicates central air exists in at least some units (likely penthouses); mentions are limited to a few listings and may reflect unit-specific installations rather than full-building retrofits.

All 20/20 current MLS listings include CONCRE in construction_materials and historical notes describe the building as a classic high-rise (reinforced concrete) on the Gold Coast. Numerous agent remarks describe heavy, durable finishes (marble lobby, stone floors) and the building’s classic high-rise nature; evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, supporting high confidence that the building is concrete construction.

No analysis available
Only 4 of 20 MLS listings currently list MASSTU in construction_materials, but zero public remarks mention 'masonry', 'stucco' or 'masonry and stucco'. Given the absence of corroborating remarks and no prior history of this feature, the few checkbox entries appear to be isolated/erroneous agent entries; therefore marked false with high confidence.

Multiple remarks state a 30-day minimum rental rule (e.g., '30 day min STR', '30 day rentals allowed'). By the specified definition, a 30-day minimum excludes short-term rentals under 30 days, so short-term rentals are not allowed per the public remarks.
No listing references a hotel rental pool, hotel-managed program, or condotel operation. Additionally, because short-term rentals under 30 days are not allowed per remarks, hotel-pool participation is not applicable.
There is no language in any remark indicating owners are required to participate in a rental/hotel pool. Given the absence of such a program and the 30-day rental minimum, mandatory pool participation is not indicated.

Listings explicitly reference LH (leasehold) status and that units convert to fee simple upon sale, but no 4-digit lease expiry year or renewal date is provided in any public remarks. Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'leasehold expiring', and specific years; found none.
Searched all remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing' or 'VA loans accepted'. No listings reference VA loan approval or acceptance, so we mark as not indicated in remarks. Confidence is limited because absence of mention in remarks does not prove building isn't VA-approved elsewhere.
I looked for phrases such as 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'full insurance', or 'comprehensive building insurance' in the public remarks and found no references. Absent explicit statements, the building being fully insured by the HOA is set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and similar phrases but found none. With no explicit mention and no current verified value, the field is set to false with medium confidence.

Extensive explicit evidence: multiple remarks state 'oceanfront', 'ocean views', 'Pacific Ocean view', and 'direct beachfront' across many listings (e.g., 'unobstructed... Pacific Ocean View', 'oceanfront - beachfront'). Evidence is strong and consistent across many agents and listings, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Limited/implied evidence: several listings reference 'mountain(s)' or the building being on the 'slopes of Diamond Head' and one MLS listing flagged MOUNTA. Mentions are fewer and sometimes conflated with Diamond Head, so inclusion is moderate confidence.
Strong explicit evidence: many listings state 'Diamond Head view', 'Diamond Head facing', or 'Majestic Diamond Head' (e.g., 'panoramic views of... Diamond Head', 'Diamond Head & Waikiki coastline'). Multiple agents and listings consistently mention Diamond Head views, supporting high confidence.
Implied/limited evidence: a small number of listings mention 'city' as part of multi-view descriptions. Mentions are not widespread but indicate some units/angles may offer city views, so include at moderate confidence.
Strong explicit evidence: several remarks state 'coastline', 'Waikiki coastline', and 'coastline views' (e.g., 'sweeping views of the Pacific, Diamond Head & Waikiki’s coastline'). Mentions are repeated across listings and align with MLS coastline flags, indicating the building offers coastline views.

Moderate implied evidence: multiple listings highlight 'sunsets', 'daily sunsets', and 'breathtaking daily sunsets' alongside ocean views. While MLS checkboxes don't show SUNSET, repeated remarks across listings imply the building offers sunset-facing units, supporting moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly note that residents can view fireworks from the building/units (e.g., 'dazzling fireworks', 'watch... fireworks'). I searched for 'fireworks' and found direct references to viewing fireworks from the property.

High-confidence evidence that the building has an on-site/resident manager: 16 of 20 current MLS entries include RESMAN in amenities and multiple listings' remarks explicitly state '24-hour front desk', 'front desk', 'secure entry' or '24-hour security'. Mentions appear across several different agent remarks (not isolated to a single listing), indicating consistent building-level staffing rather than a single-unit feature or 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.
