Discovery Bay

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.

Owner Occupancy
40%
Low

I searched for aggregate ownership indicators such as "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or similar building-wide statements and found none. The remarks include unit-level ownership references, but those do not support changing the current building owner-occupancy value, so I am keeping 40% with low confidence.

Elevators
4
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator-count language such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or a clear building-wide elevator description and found none. Because the current value already exists, I am keeping 4, but with low confidence since the remarks do not confirm or deny it.

Association Fee Low
$553
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$1,599
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$1,089
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
Yes
High

Central A/C is well confirmed for this building. Current remarks repeatedly mention "central AC," "central air conditioning," and "AC chiller," and several listings say the fee covers it directly. This is strong, repeated evidence across many listings.

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Cable inclusion is strongly confirmed across the building. Multiple listings explicitly state that maintenance fees include 'basic cable' or 'TV Cable,' and the historical MLS data shows the CABTV code in 19 of 20 listings. This looks like a consistent building-level inclusion rather than isolated agent copy-paste.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Common-area expenses appear to be included, though the wording is less specific than for the other fee items. Several listings mention 'common area expenses' or 'other common expenses,' and the MLS pattern shows OTCOEX in 11 of 20 listings. Evidence is solid but not as explicit as cable, water, or sewer.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
Yes
Medium

Multiple listings (at least ~10 separate remark blocks) explicitly state maintenance fees include central AC, hot water or an AC chiller (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes central AC, hot water, cable, internet"; "AC and hot water paid thru MF"). Historical MLS checkbox evidence was sparse (2/20), but current agent remarks across many listings consistently imply that electricity for HVAC/hot water is covered by the association fees. Evidence is implied rather than repeatedly using the exact phrase 'electricity included,' so confidence is moderate (0.75).

Fee Includes Gas
No
High

Gas inclusion is not supported by the public remarks. I only found references to gas grills at the BBQ area, not maintenance fees paying for gas service, and the current MLS has only 2/20 checkbox hits. This appears much weaker than the other fee items and likely reflects agent copy/paste rather than a building-wide benefit.

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

Hot water inclusion is strongly and repeatedly confirmed. Multiple listings explicitly list 'hot water' among the maintenance-fee-covered items, and the MLS data shows HOTWAT in 17 of 20 listings. One listing notes WTRHTR elsewhere in the building, but the overall evidence still strongly supports hot water being included.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

Internet service appears to be standard in the building’s maintenance fee. Remarks repeatedly say "WiFi and basic cable are included" or list internet among fee-covered items. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and consistent with the MLS data.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Sewer inclusion is very strongly supported across the building. Several listings directly say the maintenance fee includes sewer, and the MLS data shows SEWER in 19 of 20 listings. This is consistent across many agents and remarks.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water inclusion is strongly and repeatedly confirmed. Current remarks explicitly list water among the fee-covered items, and the MLS data shows WATER in 19 of 20 listings. The evidence is broad and consistent across the building.

Bbq
Yes
High

BBQ is very well supported throughout the public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say "BBQ area," "8 BBQ stations," "gas grills," and "BBQ grills," and the MLS checkbox signal is also strong (17/20). This appears to be a consistent building-wide amenity rather than copy-paste noise.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
No
High

There is no substantive public-remark evidence for car wash facilities at this building. The MLS checkbox signal is weak and likely reflects copy/paste errors rather than a real amenity.

Club House
No
High

There is no strong public-remark evidence of a clubhouse at Discovery Bay. The listings consistently describe resort-style amenities such as pool, fitness room, sauna, whirlpool, and BBQ areas, but not a clubhouse or community center. The low MLS frequency also suggests this checkbox is likely unreliable or erroneous.

Concierge
Yes

No analysis available

Dog Park
No
High

I do not see meaningful public-remark support for a dog park or dedicated pet area. The listings only reference pets generally in a few cases, which is not enough to confirm a dog park amenity, and the MLS signal is too weak to trust.

Doorman
No
High

Doorman service is not supported by the current listing remarks. Across the provided remarks, the building is repeatedly described as having security guards, secured entry, and resident management, but there are no references to a doorman, lobby attendant, or door attendant. The lone MLS amenity check is too weak to override the absence of supporting remarks.

Exercise Room
Yes
High

Exercise facilities are clearly a shared building amenity. Multiple listings mention 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'workout room,' and '2 exercise rooms,' showing consistent evidence across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
No
High

Listings consistently advertise pool, spa, fitness, sauna, BBQ and sun/recreation decks but do not mention any 'meeting room' or 'conference room' in public remarks. Given the absence in remarks across dozens of listings, there's high confidence the building does not offer a dedicated meeting/conference room.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, dozens of listings mention a lanai or deck space, including explicit phrases such as "private lanai," "spacious lanai," "covered lanai," "enclosed lanai," "sun deck," "recreation deck," and "BBQ patio/area." The evidence is consistent across many listings and multiple agents, so this feature should be treated as present.

Path Jogging
No

No analysis available

Playground
No

No analysis available

Private Yard
No

Putting Green
No

No analysis available

Recreation Area
Yes
High

The building’s shared recreation amenity is confirmed by numerous listings describing a "recreation deck," "expansive recreation deck," "recreation area," and "recreation/sunning area." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the MLS signal (10/20).

Recreation Room
Yes
Low

Public remarks do not provide clear evidence of a dedicated recreation room. Most mentions are of a 'recreation deck,' 'recreation area,' or 'sunning area,' which is different from a true rec room. Historical MLS support is only medium, so this remains weak/uncertain.

Restaurant
Yes
High

Restaurant/dining access is supported by both the MLS data and the remarks. Several listings say there are 'restaurants located on the ground floor' or 'restaurants and shops downstairs,' which suggests an in-building or immediately attached dining component.

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
Yes
High

Sauna is a well-supported shared amenity at the building. Many listings explicitly mention "sauna," including variants like "dry heat sauna" and "men's and women's saunas," which aligns with the strong MLS pattern (15/20).

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Storage is strongly supported across many listings, not just MLS checkbox data. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "bike & surfboard storage," "storage rooms," "lots of storage," and "generous storage space," which appears consistently across different agents and stacks. This is strong building-level evidence that storage units/lockers or extra storage are available.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

The remarks clearly confirm surfboard storage facilities in the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention surfboard storage, often paired with bike storage, making this feature well supported.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
High

Trash chute appears to be a confirmed building-wide amenity based on unanimous MLS checkbox data (20/20). It is rarely called out in remarks, but there is no evidence suggesting it was removed, so it remains highly reliable.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

Whirlpool/spa amenities are repeatedly and explicitly confirmed in the remarks. Listings use direct terms such as "whirlpool," "hot tub," "jacuzzi," and "spa" across many units, matching the strong MLS signal (17/20).

Pool
Yes
High

Pool is strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. Across dozens of current remarks, agents consistently mention building amenities such as "pool," "swimming pool," and "resort-style amenities," indicating this is a shared building feature rather than a unit-specific claim. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears well-established rather than copy-paste noise.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

Heated pool is strongly confirmed at Discovery Bay. Multiple current listings explicitly state "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool," and the feature appears repeatedly across different remarks and agents. This is strong, consistent building-level evidence with no sign it has changed.

Pool Salt
No
Low

I searched for direct wording like "saltwater pool," "salt pool," or "saline pool." The remarks mention heated pools, sparkling pools, and pool decks, but do not identify the pool as salt water.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

In-unit laundry is overwhelmingly supported for this building. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, including phrases like 'full-size in-unit washer/dryer,' 'washer/dryer inside the unit,' 'washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the unit,' and 'W/D in unit.' The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be a genuine building feature, not a copy-paste anomaly.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I looked for public remarks suggesting paid shared laundry, such as coin-op, quarter-operated, card-operated, or laundry fees. The listings repeatedly describe in-unit washer/dryers instead, and I found no evidence of a paid community laundry setup.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit references to community laundry on every floor, including phrases like "laundry on each floor" or "laundry room on every floor." The remarks mention in-unit washers/dryers many times, but nothing indicates floor-by-floor shared laundry facilities.

Parking
Yes
High

Parking is clearly present throughout the building. Many listings explicitly mention "assigned parking stall," "covered parking," "garage parking," or "parking space," and the current MLS data shows parking features on all 20/20 listings. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple remarks and listings.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is strongly supported across many Discovery Bay listings, with dozens of remarks using explicit phrases such as "1 assigned parking stall," "assigned covered parking stall," "reserved parking stall," and "designated/secured assigned parking." The evidence is consistent across multiple towers and appears in both agent remarks and building-level descriptions, not just copy-paste checkbox data.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is very strongly confirmed for Discovery Bay. Many listings explicitly describe "covered parking," "assigned covered parking stall," "secure garage," and parking stalls near elevators or on the same floor, showing this is a building feature available to buyers.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

I looked for explicit language indicating deeded or owned parking, such as 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' or 'parking included in deed.' The remarks repeatedly mention assigned, covered, secured, or same-floor parking, but that does not establish deeded ownership.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

I searched the remarks for any monthly parking charge, parking rental fee, or additional cost tied to parking. The listings mention assigned, covered, and secured parking, but I found no evidence of a separate parking fee.

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Guest parking has limited but credible support at Discovery Bay. The current MLS data shows only a minority of listings checking GUEST (4/20), but a public remark explicitly says 'Pay guest parking is available,' which supports the feature without making it look universal.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

Secured entry is well supported by repeated remarks describing Discovery Bay as a "secured building" with "secured entry," "secured lobby," "security guards," and "video monitoring." While some listings use broader building-security language rather than parking-only wording, the consistent references across many remarks make the secured parking/entry feature highly credible.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
High

I looked for any reference to a parking waitlist or waiting list system and found none. The only waitlist language in the remarks relates to storage, not parking.

Security Keyed Elevator
Yes

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

I looked for card/fob access language such as key card access, fob entry, or electronic card readers. The remarks do describe secured entry, locked lobbies, guards, and video monitoring, but nothing specifically confirms a card-based access system.

Security Guard
Yes
High

Security guard service is strongly supported for this building. Across the provided remarks, dozens of listings explicitly mention "24/7 security," "24-hour security," "security guard," "resident manager, security guard," and similar wording, appearing consistently across multiple agents rather than as a one-off. This aligns with the current MLS data showing 19/20 listings with SECGUA in amenities.

Security Patrol
No
High

I searched for references to patrol service or roving security and found none. The remarks consistently mention security guards, 24-hour security, secured entry, and resident management, but not building patrols.

Security Video
Yes

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes
High

Central air conditioning is very strongly supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention "central A/C," "central air conditioning," or note that the maintenance fee includes Central AC, showing consistent confirmation from multiple sources and unit types. The evidence is broad and repeated, making this a high-confidence building feature.

Split AC
No

No analysis available

Window AC
Yes

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS record, with 18 of 20 listings showing CONCRE. The public remarks repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high-rise condominium tower with amenities typical of concrete construction, and there is no contradictory remark evidence. This appears to be stable building-level data rather than agent copy-paste noise.

Double Wall
No
High

There is no public-remark support for double-wall construction across the listings reviewed. Although 5 of 20 current MLS entries have DOUWAL checked, the absence of any corroborating remarks suggests this is likely erroneous or copied without verification. On the available evidence, the building should not be treated as having confirmed double-wall construction.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
Yes

No analysis available

Steel Frame
No
High

No public remarks explicitly say "steel frame" or "steel frame construction" across the listings reviewed. A small minority of MLS records (3/20) now show STEFRA, but the narrative remarks appear to be generic high-rise descriptions and not confirmation of the structural system. This looks more like copied MLS checkbox data than verified building construction.

Slab
No
High

There is minimal checklist evidence (3 of 20 listings) for a concrete slab foundation and no public remarks reference 'concrete slab' or 'solid concrete foundation.' Given the absence of any descriptive confirmation across agent remarks and the low occurrence in MLS checkboxes, slab foundation is unlikely to be a building-level feature.

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
Yes
High

The remarks strongly and repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high-rise / tower building with high-floor units, including references to "two 40-story towers," "11th-floor recreation deck," and many units on upper floors. Across many listings, the above-ground nature of the building is implied consistently by multiple agents rather than by isolated copy-paste language. Current MLS data (5/20 ABOGRO) does not undermine that support.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
Yes
High

The remarks clearly support short-term rental eligibility at the 30-day level. Several listings explicitly say 30-day rentals are allowed, so STR is supported from the public remarks.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

I searched for hotel pool or hotel rental program language and found none. Since the remarks do not mention any hotel pool participation, this is not supported.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

I looked for indications that owners must join a rental pool or cannot opt out, and found none. The remarks instead emphasize flexibility of use, which argues against a mandatory pool requirement.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
Yes

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
2039
High

The listings consistently reference the lease expiration as December 31, 2039. I found no later extension or revised expiry year, so 2039 is the supported lease-end year.

Financing V A
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language such as 'VA approved,' 'VA financing,' and 'VA loans accepted' and found none. Based on the available remarks, there is no evidence that the building is VA loan approved.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

The remarks repeatedly and explicitly indicate full insurance coverage, which is strong evidence the building is fully insured from the HOA perspective. This is a direct match to the requested feature and is stated in multiple listings.

Fire Sprinklers
Yes

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I looked for building-level fire/life safety compliance language, including FLSE-related terms and passing inspection statements, but found nothing in the remarks. With no evidence provided, this remains unconfirmed and is set to false at low confidence based on absence of mention.

Flood Zone (Current)
AE
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
AE

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

Ocean views are very well supported for Discovery Bay. Across the provided remarks, many listings explicitly mention phrases like 'stunning ocean views,' 'panoramic ocean views,' 'ocean-facing,' and 'water views,' including multiple stack/unit-specific references. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be broad building-level marketing rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are strongly confirmed across Discovery Bay. Historical MLS data shows 10/20 listings with mountain in the view description, and current remarks across many agents repeatedly mention 'mountain views,' 'mauka view,' 'cool side,' and even 'Ko'olau mountains.' This is not a single-agent anomaly; the same feature appears throughout the building's listings.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Diamond Head views are clearly supported across many listings. Remarks include phrases like "Diamond Head to Koko Head," "Mauka & Diamond Head views," "Diamond Head and Ocean Views," and "Diamond Head view unit," showing this is a real and recurring building orientation. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and stacks.

View: City
Yes
High

City views are abundantly supported throughout the listings for Discovery Bay. Many remarks explicitly reference 'city views,' 'city skyline,' and combinations like 'ocean, harbor, and city views' or 'mountain, city, and canal views,' showing this is a common feature across units. The repeated phrasing across numerous listings indicates strong building-level support rather than isolated marketing language.

View: Coastline
Yes
High

Coastline views are supported by multiple listing remarks, though they appear less often than ocean views. Several descriptions reference "panoramic coastal views of Honolulu's South Shore" and similar shoreline-facing outlooks, indicating this is a real building-level view type. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and not limited to a single agent.

View: Garden
Yes
Medium

Moderate evidence: a few listings explicitly state "view of pool and garden" or reference pool/recreation deck views, implying outlooks over landscaped/courtyard areas for some units. Mentions are sparse and appear in only a small subset of listings, so inclusion is warranted but with moderate confidence.

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
Yes
High

Marina/harbor views are clearly available in Discovery Bay. Multiple remarks mention 'Ala Wai Marina,' 'yacht harbor,' 'harbor and ocean views,' and 'Ala Wai Boat Harbor,' showing this is a real and recurring feature rather than a copy-paste error. The evidence is spread across several listings and stacks, so buyers searching for marina views would בהחלט find applicable units here.

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

Sunrise views appear to be available in some units, though not as consistently as other views. Several listings explicitly reference 'sunrise views,' 'morning sun,' or 'city, mountain sunrise views,' indicating this is a genuine feature for at least some stacks/orientations. The evidence is solid enough to include, but it is more selective than the other view types.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Sunset views are repeatedly advertised for Discovery Bay units, though less frequently than ocean or city views. Several remarks explicitly say 'sunset view,' 'take in breathtaking evening sunsets,' or reference 'Friday night fireworks' and western-facing enjoyment, which supports the feature at building level. The evidence is moderate-to-strong and appears in multiple independent listings rather than a single source.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
Yes
High

Multiple remarks directly confirm fireworks views from units, not just proximity to fireworks. This is strong, repeated evidence that Friday night fireworks are visible from the building.

Frontage Type
Marina

No analysis available

Hobron/Ena
Yes
Medium

Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.

Pets Allowed
Yes

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

This feature is strongly supported. The building is mentioned in many current remarks as having a "resident manager," "on-site management," or "resident management," and the MLS history shows 20/20 listings with RESMAN in amenities. Evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just a one-off copy-paste mention.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
