Esplanade
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.

MLS listings reach floor 8, including multiple penthouse listings, and the state registration also reports 8 floors. The county's max_floors of 9 is set aside as a differing assessor floor count.
The county reports 208 reconciled residential units, and the state registration reports 208 residential units. The state's total_units value of 250 is not used because the residential figure matches the building record.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 452. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
I searched for statements such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators," but none were found. One remark mentions avoiding an elevator, but that does not establish the building's elevator count.
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.
Central AC is mentioned in well over 10 listings, with repeated descriptions such as "central AC," "central A/C," and "central air conditioning." Two remarks explicitly state that central AC is included in the maintenance fee, and another itemizes a central A/C charge, supporting inclusion despite some unit-specific AC variations.
Cable inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS data, with 19/20 listings showing CABTV. At least 2 remarks reference cable or basic cable/internet charges, including "cable HBO" and "$57.46 for Basic Cable/Internet"; the repeated MLS coding is consistent with these remarks.
Common-area expenses are supported primarily by the MLS data, with OTCOEX appearing in 18/20 listings. The remarks frequently describe shared pools, grounds, parks, recreation facilities, security, and maintenance, although they do not commonly use the exact phrase "common area electricity."

The evidence favors unit-level water heaters rather than building-supplied hot water included in maintenance fees. At least 2 remarks explicitly mention replaced or new hot water heaters, while the MLS shows WTRHTR in 13/20 listings versus HOTWAT in only 6/20; this corrects the feature to false.
Internet service appears to be included in the maintenance fee with high confidence. The MLS checkbox is strong across the building (17/20 INTSER), and current remarks explicitly mention internet as part of the fee structure. This is one of the clearest included-fee features in the building.
Marina inclusion is strongly confirmed across many listings and agents. More than 15 remarks describe free or included boat docks/slips, marina access, or marina-related fees, including explicit statements that the boat slip and marina fees are included in the monthly maintenance fee.
No analysis available
Water inclusion is supported by 14/20 current MLS listings and prior high-confidence building history. The public remarks focus more on marina and amenity fees than water, so direct textual confirmation is limited, but the repeated MLS coding across listings is strong enough to include it.
BBQ is marked on all 20 of 20 current listings. Remarks repeatedly mention “BBQs,” “BBQ areas,” “multiple BBQ areas,” “5 gas BBQ grills,” and “grill pavilions,” providing strong confirmation across many listings.
No analysis available
No analysis available
CRWSH appears on all 20 current listings. Remarks repeatedly cite “car wash area,” “carwash area,” and “carwash w/vacuum,” confirming an established shared vehicle-wash facility.
CLUHOU appears on 15 of 20 current listings. Remarks include “clubhouse,” “spacious clubhouse perfect for gatherings,” and social or party rooms used for community events, providing strong evidence of a clubhouse/community-center-style facility.
No analysis available
There is credible evidence for a dog park or pet area. One listing explicitly mentions a “dog park,” while several others refer to walking dogs at Luna Kai Park, supporting a pet-friendly outdoor area.
No analysis available
Current MLS data marks EXEROO on 19 of 20 listings, and numerous remarks explicitly cite “fitness center,” “gym,” “fitness room,” “workout room,” or “well equipped gym.” The feature is consistently described across many independent listings and is clearly a shared building amenity.
No analysis available
Meeting-room-style common space is strongly supported. Remarks include “meeting rooms,” “party room,” “social room,” and “available party room,” showing consistent evidence of an indoor community room.
Patio/deck amenities are very strongly supported across the listing set. Dozens of remarks reference lanais, covered lanais, screened/enclosed lanais, 'quiet deck,' and 'recreation deck,' showing the building offers outdoor/private outdoor spaces to residents. The evidence is broad and consistent across multiple listings and agents, so this feature should definitely remain included.
WAJOPA appears on 16 of 20 listings. Current remarks mention “walking paths,” “walking and jogging paths,” paths to Luna Kai Park, and waterfront walking areas, supporting a shared walking/jogging-path amenity.
No analysis available
Private yard space is not supported by the remarks. Across the listings, there are no clear references to a private, fenced, or enclosed yard for units; the closest language is about shared grounds, parks, or garden areas. The MLS PRIYAR checkbox appears to be inconsistent with the descriptive text, which suggests a likely copy-paste or data-entry issue.
PUTGRE appears on 18 of 20 listings. Numerous remarks identify a “putting green,” “golf putting,” “miniature golf,” or “golf practice area,” consistently confirming this shared amenity.
RECARE appears on 17 of 20 listings. Current remarks explicitly mention “recreation areas,” “rec deck,” “recreation deck,” “full scale recreation deck,” and a “large recreation deck,” confirming shared recreational amenity space.
RECROO appears on 16 of 20 current listings. Remarks cite “recreation room,” “party room with wet bar and pool table,” “social room,” and a “huge party social room,” consistently supporting a shared recreation-room amenity.
No analysis available
No analysis available
SAUNA appears on 15 of 20 current listings. Remarks repeatedly cite “sauna,” “steam rooms,” “steam/sauna rooms,” and “luxury steam rooms,” providing strong multi-listing confirmation of the amenity.
Storage is consistently documented across the building: 20 of 20 listings show storage-related building amenities, and 14 of 20 show storage in unit features. Multiple independent remarks explicitly describe included lockers or spaces, including "4 storage lockers," "storage lockers in a convenient street-level garage," "extra garage storage," and "storage lockers in front of each parking stall," confirming this is a legitimate building offering rather than isolated copy-paste.
Surfboard storage is directly confirmed in multiple listings, including shared racks, lockers, and water-equipment storage. The remarks indicate storage for surfboards and related equipment.
Tennis courts are marked on 20 of 20 listings. Current remarks repeatedly identify “tennis courts,” “lighted tennis and pickleball courts,” and “tennis/pickleball courts,” making this an unquestionably established building amenity.
Only 5 of 20 current listings mark TRACHU, while the extensive public remarks do not mention any trash-chute system. Because the feature lacks meaningful remark support and appears to be an inconsistent MLS checkbox, it is treated as a correction and omitted.

WHIRLP appears on 17 of 20 listings. Current remarks repeatedly mention “whirlpool,” “hot tub,” “jacuzzi,” “spa,” and a heated pool with whirlpool, strongly confirming the amenity.
Strong building-level evidence confirms The Esplanade has a shared pool. Nearly every remark mentions it across many listings and agents, often as a resort-style or saltwater pool; several explicitly describe it as heated.
At least 20 of the provided listings explicitly mention the feature, including repeated descriptions such as "heated saltwater pool," "heated pool," and "Saltwater heated 50 meter pool." The evidence is strong across numerous listings and agents, with detailed references to the pool's size and saltwater configuration, confirming the historically high-confidence feature.
Saltwater pool construction is directly and repeatedly confirmed across many listings. The pool is also frequently described as heated and approximately 50 meters.
Evidence is overwhelming across the building: 18/20 current listings include WASHER/DRYER, and many remarks from multiple listings explicitly describe in-unit machines, including "in-unit washer/dryer," "Bosch washer and dryer," and a "laundry closet w/ washer & dryer." The consistency across numerous agents and the prior high-confidence finding strongly supports that in-unit laundry is a building feature available in at least some units.
No analysis available
The remarks primarily describe in-unit washers and dryers. They do not indicate that community laundry requires payment.
The remarks mention in-unit washers and dryers in multiple listings, but do not describe community laundry facilities on every floor. No qualifying public-remark evidence was found.
Parking is consistently supported across the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention parking in different forms, including 3 parking stalls, 2 covered stalls, and 1 parking with storage, indicating this is not a copy-paste anomaly. The evidence is strong across many remarks and aligns with the MLS data.
Assigned parking is confirmed across many listings, with well over 15 remarks describing assigned, deeded, or dedicated parking stalls. Repeated references from multiple listings and agents indicate this is a building-level offering rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Covered parking is very strongly supported across the building, with numerous listings explicitly mentioning two or more covered or garage parking stalls. The consistent references across many agents and units, together with 18 of 20 MLS records showing covered/garage codes, confirm this feature.
Deeded parking is directly confirmed in the public remarks. Numerous other listings also describe parking as included, assigned, covered, or owned with the unit, providing additional support.
No analysis available
The remarks explicitly document separate monthly parking charges. The covered-stall charge is $86.85 per month for two stalls, while the uncovered stall charge is $56.20 per month; $86.85 is returned as the primary stated parking fee.
Guest parking is supported, though mentioned less often than assigned or covered parking. At least one listing explicitly states "ample guest parking for visitors," and the MLS history shows 14 of 20 listings marking guest parking. This is enough to treat it as a real building feature.
Secured entry for parking is mentioned less often than parking in general, but there are enough cues to support it. Remarks include phrases like 'covered secured parking' and multiple references to 24-hour security/secure community access, suggesting some level of secured parking or controlled entry. The evidence is moderate rather than overwhelming.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly discuss assigned, covered, uncovered, deeded, and multiple parking stalls. However, no building-wide parking waitlist was identified, so there is no public-remarks evidence that a waitlist exists.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention 24-hour security, secured or covered parking, security screen doors, and gated-community characteristics. They do not provide evidence of a card- or fob-based access system.
Security service is strongly and consistently supported: at least 18 current remarks explicitly mention it, using phrases such as "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "24-hr security," and "security on site." The evidence appears across numerous listings and agents, matching the current MLS amenity checkbox (19/20), so the building offers security guard/security personnel service.
The remarks frequently reference 24-hour security, security staff, and an on-site security team. These statements do not specifically establish patrol service.
No analysis available
Central air is strongly confirmed across many listings and agents, with well over a dozen explicit mentions such as “Central A/C,” “central air conditioning keeps the home cool,” and “central AC in unit.” One penthouse was professionally converted from central AC to split AC, but the overwhelming current and historical evidence confirms that The Esplanade offers central air conditioning.
Multiple listings mention AC in the building, with at least one explicit split-system conversion: "professionally converted to split AC through the permit process." Current remarks also repeatedly reference central A/C or AC replacement, so the feature is well-supported rather than a one-off agent checkbox. Evidence is strong across listings, though most remarks describe central AC rather than split AC specifically.
No analysis available
All 20 of 20 listings identify the building's construction materials as concrete (CONCRE). No public remarks explicitly use phrases such as "concrete construction" or "reinforced concrete," but the MLS evidence is uniform across the dataset and strongly supports this building-level feature.
Double-wall construction is not reinforced by the public remarks, and the MLS support is relatively weak at 8 of 20 listings. Across the remarks reviewed, there are no explicit references to double-wall, two-wall, or double-wall construction, so this feature does not appear to be reliably supported.
No analysis available
Eleven of 20 listings code the construction materials as masonry/stucco (MASSTU). None of the public remarks explicitly mention "masonry," "stucco," or "masonry and stucco," so the evidence is moderate and primarily dependent on partial MLS checkbox support rather than independent agent descriptions.

Above-ground construction is not supported by the remarks and only has weak MLS checkbox presence at 9 of 20 listings. The absence of any explicit confirmation suggests this is not a reliable building characteristic and is likely an MLS data artifact.

The remarks focus on residential condominium ownership, amenities, marina access, and parking. No explicit permission or prohibition regarding short-term rentals was found; under the no-evidence rule, this is treated as false with medium-low confidence.
References to heated, saltwater, and resort-style swimming pools describe resident amenities, not hotel rental operations. Because STR permission is not established and no hotel rental pool is mentioned, this feature is false.
The remarks contain no evidence of a hotel rental pool, much less mandatory participation by all owners. Under the prerequisite that this can only be true when STR and hotel-pool participation are established, the value is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold, land lease, ground lease, lease expiration, and extension language. No four-digit lease-expiry or renewal year was found, so the expiry year remains unknown.
Multiple listings directly identify The Esplanade as VA approved, providing strong and repeated public-remarks evidence. Another listing also describes the loan as "VA assumable at 2.275%," further supporting VA financing availability.
Several independent remarks explicitly confirm full building insurance, including "Fully insured" and repeated references to a "100% Insured building." The repeated, direct confirmations provide very strong evidence that the HOA has comprehensive building insurance.
No analysis available
I searched for references to a passed fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE approval, fire-safety certification, life-safety compliance, or a passed fire inspection. No such statements were found, so there is no public-remark evidence confirming this feature.
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 multiple listings and agents. Key phrases include 'breathtaking views of the marina, ocean and Diamond Head,' 'stunning ocean views,' 'overlooking the marina and Pacific expanse,' and 'water views as soon as you walk in.'
Mountain views are one of the most consistently documented building features. Remarks repeatedly cite 'mountain views,' 'Koolau mountains,' 'Koko Head views,' and views of the mountains from lanais and living areas across many units.
Diamond Head views are strongly confirmed across multiple listings. Examples include 'breathtaking Diamond Head sunset views,' 'sweeping Diamond Head and marina views,' and 'spectacular sunset & Diamond Head views,' indicating this is not limited to a single copied remark.
City views are not meaningfully supported by the current remarks. The listing descriptions overwhelmingly emphasize marina, ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, garden, and sunset views instead, and only 2/20 MLS records show CITY. This looks weak enough to treat as not supported for the building overall.
Coastline views are included because a current listing explicitly describes 'unforgettable marina, ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, coastline, and sunset views.' Evidence is much less frequent than for marina or mountain views, but the direct mention confirms that the building offers at least some units with coastline views.
Garden views are clearly present in a meaningful subset of units. Current remarks cite "lush gardens," "garden grounds," "private landscaped park," and "manicured tropical landscaping," matching the MLS history of 8/20 listings. This supports garden views as an available building feature.
No analysis available
Marina views are overwhelmingly supported by both MLS data and public remarks. Repeated phrases include 'marina-front living,' 'breathtaking views of the marina,' 'overlooks the Hawaii Kai Marina,' and 'direct Marina views,' appearing across many different unit descriptions.
Sunrise views/exposure are supported by multiple current remarks, though less frequently than mountain or garden views. Listings explicitly say 'sunrise coffee,' 'Eastern morning sun,' 'watch the sunrise,' and 'morning sun rays,' showing that some units face the east and capture morning light. The repeated phrasing across listings suggests this is a genuine building-level offering.
Sunset views are well supported across multiple listings. Remarks include 'beautiful sunset skies,' 'enjoy sunset cocktails,' 'spectacular sunset views,' 'magenta sunsets,' and 'afternoon sunsets,' demonstrating repeated confirmation rather than a single isolated statement.
No analysis available
The remarks describe marina, ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, sunrise, sunset, and moonrise views. They do not state that Friday night fireworks can be viewed from the units or building.

Strong building-level evidence supports a resident manager on site. Multiple current listings explicitly mention an "on-site resident manager" or "resident manager," and one also references "on-site management" and a dedicated maintenance team. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
