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.

No analysis available

Owner Occupancy
Low

I searched the remarks for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and qualitative phrases indicating a mostly owner-occupied building, but nothing was stated. The text focuses on amenities, views, parking, and security rather than ownership mix. Since there is no direct evidence, owner occupancy cannot be determined from these remarks.

Elevators
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators," "multiple elevators," or similar wording and found none. The only elevator-related mention is that one unit is near the staircase, which does not confirm how many elevators the building has. Because there is no direct evidence, the value remains unknown.

Association Fee Low
$833
High

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

Association Fee High
$1,777
High

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

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$2,400
High

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

Fee Includes Central AC
Yes
High

Central air conditioning is supported by direct remarks and MLS history. Multiple listings mention "AC maintenance" being included, "Central A/C" being available, and even a separate fee line for "Central A/C," indicating the building has this feature and it is often part of maintenance expenses. The evidence is strong across several agents/listings.

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Cable TV appears to be included in the association fee. The remarks explicitly mention "cable HBO" and a combined "Cable and internet" charge, and the historical MLS signal is extremely strong at 18 of 20 listings with CABTV. This looks consistent across multiple listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Common-area electricity/expenses appear to be included in the maintenance structure. While the remarks do not always use the exact phrase "common electric," they repeatedly reference building-wide costs and amenities being covered, which aligns with the strong MLS pattern of OTCOEX in 17 of 20 listings. This is likely a consistent building-level inclusion.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
No
High

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The historical MLS signal is limited at only 5 of 20 listings showing HOTWAT, and several remarks explicitly reference a "hot water heater" or "new hot water heater," which is a strong indicator that each unit handles its own hot water. This is a correction away from inclusion.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

Internet service appears to be included in the maintenance fee. The remarks explicitly say "high speed internet" and list "Basic Cable/Internet" as part of the fees, while the MLS history is strong at 16 of 20 listings with INTSER. This is well-supported and consistent across multiple listings.

Fee Includes Marina
Yes
High

Marina-related access/fees are clearly part of the building offering. Many remarks mention boat slips/docks, marina access, and explicit fee lines like "Hawaii Kai Marina Fee" and "marina fees," which align with the strong MLS history of 17 of 20 listings showing MARINA. This is one of the clearest features in the dataset.

Fee Includes Sewer
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Water appears to be included for many Esplanade listings, though the remarks are less direct than for cable or internet. The current MLS signal shows WATER in 13 of 20 listings, which is supportive but not as definitive as the strongest features. Overall the evidence favors inclusion, but with slightly lower confidence than the most explicit utilities.

Bbq
Yes
High

BBQ facilities are clearly present and heavily corroborated across the listings. Multiple agents mention BBQ areas, pavilions, grottos, and grills, showing broad consistency and strong building-level support.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
Yes
High

Car wash facilities are strongly supported at the building. Several listings explicitly mention a car wash area or car wash station, and the references appear across different agents rather than as isolated wording.

Club House
Yes
High

There is solid evidence for a clubhouse/community-center style amenity, though the exact label varies. Some remarks explicitly say "clubhouse," while others describe party/social rooms that serve the same shared-use purpose.

Concierge
No

No analysis available

Dog Park
Yes
High

There is good evidence of a dog-friendly park/area associated with the building. Some remarks explicitly say "dog park," while others reference pet walking areas and Luna Kai Park as a dog-walking amenity.

Doorman
No

No analysis available

Exercise Room
Yes
High

Strong, repeated evidence across many listings confirms an exercise room/fitness center. Remarks include phrases like "gym," "large fitness center," "workout room," and "exercise room," and the amenity appears consistently rather than as a one-off copy/paste error.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
Yes
High

Meeting/conference-style common space is strongly supported. Listings refer to meeting rooms, party rooms, social rooms, and community rooms, suggesting this amenity is real and consistently marketed.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

Patio/deck amenities are very strongly supported. Multiple listings explicitly mention lanais and covered outdoor spaces, including phrases like 'covered lanai,' 'private lanais,' and 'screened-lanai,' which appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy/paste. This aligns with the MLS data showing 13/20 listings flagged for PATDEC/COVPAT.

Path Jogging
Yes
High

Walking and jogging paths are supported by multiple remarks. The language varies, but references to walking paths, walking/jogging paths, and marina-side strolls indicate this is a genuine shared amenity.

Playground
No

No analysis available

Private Yard
No
High

Private yard space is not supported by the remarks. Across the provided listings, there are zero clear mentions of a private or fenced yard, only shared amenities such as a private park, landscaped green spaces, and marina access. Given the lack of explicit unit-level yard language, the MLS PRIYAR checks look more like inconsistent or copy-pasted data than a confirmed building feature.

Putting Green
Yes
High

A putting green is clearly part of the amenity package. The feature appears repeatedly in the remarks, often alongside golf practice areas and miniature golf, which makes the evidence very strong.

Recreation Area
Yes
High

The building clearly offers a recreation area or recreation deck-type amenity. Multiple remarks describe rec decks, recreation areas, and amenity spaces, which aligns well with the historical MLS data.

Recreation Room
Yes
High

A recreation room or equivalent shared gathering space is well supported. Listings reference party rooms, social rooms, rec rooms, billiards rooms, and similar spaces, indicating this is a genuine common amenity.

Restaurant
No

No analysis available

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
Yes
High

Sauna is consistently supported across the listings. Agents repeatedly mention sauna and steam room amenities, indicating this is a real shared feature rather than copied checkbox noise.

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Storage units/lockers are strongly supported for The Esplanade. Well over a dozen current public remarks mention storage in multiple forms, including "4 storage units," "4 storage lockers," "extra storage," and "storage lockers at street level," indicating this is a real, recurring building feature rather than a one-off agent checkbox. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, so confidence is very high.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

This feature is clearly supported by multiple public remarks. The listings explicitly reference surfboard storage, surfboard lockers, and storage for water toys, which confirms surfboard storage availability.

Tennis Court
Yes
High

Tennis courts are confirmed across the building’s listings with near-universal consistency. The remarks frequently reference tennis courts, lighted courts, and tennis/pickleball courts, making this one of the strongest-supported amenities.

Trash Chute
No
High

Trash chute does not receive meaningful corroboration in the public remarks. Despite limited historical MLS support, the feature is absent from the current descriptions across many listings, so it is best treated as not confirmed.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

The building clearly offers a whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenity. Multiple listings use overlapping terms like whirlpool, jacuzzi, hot tub, and spa, making this a highly reliable feature.

Pool
Yes
High

Strong building-level evidence confirms The Esplanade has a common swimming pool. Well over a dozen current listings mention it, with multiple agents describing it as a pool, saltwater pool, or heated pool, so this does not look like a copy-paste anomaly.

Pool Heated
Yes
High

The pool is explicitly described as heated in many current listings, far more than the threshold needed for a building-level feature. The repeated phrasing across multiple remarks strongly supports that the community pool is heated, not just that a pool exists.

Pool Salt
Yes
High

This feature is directly and repeatedly stated in the remarks. The pool is clearly identified as saltwater/salt water across multiple listings, with heated saltwater phrasing appearing often.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

Strong, consistent evidence across many current remarks that The Esplanade offers in-unit laundry. At least 10+ listings explicitly mention washer/dryer in-unit or a laundry closet/center, and the language appears across multiple listings/agents rather than a single copy-paste source. This aligns with the high-confidence MLS inclusions data and confirms the feature should be kept as true.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I looked for references to coin laundry, quarters, card-operated machines, laundry fees, or other paid shared laundry facilities. The remarks do not describe any community laundry system at all, and the only laundry references are to in-unit laundry or hookups.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for phrases like "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," or similar building-wide laundry placement. The listings mention in-unit washer/dryer, washer/dryer hookups, or a laundry closet, but nothing indicates community laundry facilities on every floor.

Parking
Yes
High

Parking is consistently supported across the building. Multiple current listings explicitly mention parking in several forms, including 3 parking spaces, 2 covered stalls plus 1 uncovered stall, and assigned stalls. The evidence is strong and appears repeatedly across different remarks, not just a single agent copy-paste.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks explicitly mention '2 assigned covered parking stalls,' 'deeded with one covered parking stall,' and other assigned parking references, which aligns with the current MLS data and looks consistent across different agents rather than copy-paste error.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is very well supported for this building. Numerous listings mention '2 covered parking stalls,' 'covered garaged parking stalls,' 'street-level garage,' and similar wording, confirming that covered parking is a standard and recurring feature.

Parking Deeded
Yes
High

The remarks clearly indicate deeded parking, meaning the parking is owned with the unit. I also saw repeated references to assigned covered stalls and parking included with the condo, which reinforces this.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
$86.85
High

The remarks provide a clear monthly parking charge for the covered stalls in the fee breakdown, and also list a separate charge for the uncovered stall. Because the listings distinguish parking types, I used the covered-stall amount as the primary parking fee and did not add the separate stall fee unless a single total was explicitly stated.

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Guest parking is supported by both the MLS data and current remarks. One listing explicitly notes 'ample guest parking for visitors,' and the feature appears in the current data often enough to treat it as a real building-level amenity rather than an agent checkbox mistake.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
Medium

Secured parking/entry is mentioned in a minority of listings: MLS marks SECENT on 5/20, and remarks include phrases like "24-hour security," "covered secured parking," and "gated community." Evidence indicates secured parking/entry exists in parts of the property or is an emphasized amenity by some agents, but it is not universally described across all listings.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

I searched for phrases like "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and "join waitlist for parking." No public remark mentions any parking waitlist system, so there is no evidence that one exists from these listings.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

I looked for card/fob-access language such as keycard entry, electronic access, or secured building access controlled by cards. The remarks mention 24-hour security, security teams, and on-site management, but nothing about card-based access.

Security Guard
Yes
High

Security guard service is strongly supported. Across the remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention '24 hour security,' '24-hr security,' '24/7 security,' 'on-site security,' or an 'outstanding security team.' The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just copy-paste noise, reinforcing the building-level amenity.

Security Patrol
Yes
Low

I searched for explicit references to patrol service or roving security. The listings consistently mention 24-hour security, excellent security, or security teams, but do not state that the building has a security patrol.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes
High

Central air conditioning is very strongly supported for The Esplanade. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, and multiple agents describe maintenance-related details such as "AC maintenance," "central A/C compressor replaced 2026," "the original central AC was professionally converted to split AC," and "new central A/C system (2018)." The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to reflect a real building feature, not just copy-paste checkbox noise.

Split AC
Yes
High

At least 1 listing explicitly mentions split AC: 'professionally converted to split AC through the permit process.' Most other listings mention central A/C, newer AC, or upgraded central AC, which suggests the building has mixed AC configurations rather than universally split systems. The split AC evidence appears to come from a specific renovated unit, but it is explicit and credible enough to include for buyers searching for buildings with split AC units.

Window AC
No

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction is strongly supported as a building-wide feature. Current MLS checkbox data shows CONCRE in 19/20 listings, which is overwhelming support, and the remarks across many listings are consistent with the same building without any conflicting construction description.

Double Wall
Yes
Low

Double-wall construction has some MLS checkbox support at 7/20 listings, but the remarks do not provide explicit confirmation. This looks like a weak, inconsistent signal rather than a well-described building feature.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
Yes
Medium

Masonry/stucco has moderate MLS support at 10/20 listings. None of the public remarks explicitly say “masonry” or “stucco,” so this appears to come mainly from checkbox data rather than repeated agent narrative.

Steel Frame
No

No analysis available

Slab
No

No analysis available

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
No
Low

Above-ground construction is only weakly supported by the MLS signal, with 7/20 listings checked. The public remarks do not mention anything like “above ground construction,” so there is no strong textual confirmation.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
Low

I looked for explicit short-term rental language such as STR permitted, vacation rental allowed, NUC/TVU, hotel rental programs, and minimum-stay references. The remarks do not mention any allowance for short-term rentals, so based on the public listings there is no evidence that STR is allowed.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

I searched for hotel rental pool, hotel-managed program, and branded rental-pool references like Hilton/Trump/Ritz. None were found, and because STR is not evidenced as allowed, this feature must be false.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

I searched for mandatory hotel pool language such as required participation, cannot opt out, or must be in rental program. No such wording was found, and with no evidence of a hotel pool program, mandatory participation is false.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

I searched the public remarks for leasehold language such as "lease expires," "ground lease ends," "land lease," and a 4-digit expiration year. Nothing in the listings indicates the building is leasehold or provides a lease expiry date, so the value remains unknown.

Financing V A
Yes
High

Public remarks directly support VA financing approval for this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention VA approval, including an assumable VA loan reference, which is strong public evidence.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

This is strongly supported by repeated direct statements across the listings. The remarks clearly indicate the building is fully insured / 100% insured, so confidence is very high.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I looked for fire/life safety evaluation language, FLSE references, and fire-inspection approval wording in the remarks, but none appeared. The listings mention security, insurance, and maintenance, but those are not the same as a fire/life safety pass. With no direct evidence, this feature remains unknown.

Flood Zone (Current)
D
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)
D

No analysis available

View: Ocean
No

No analysis available

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are very well supported for The Esplanade. Multiple listings describe “mountain views,” “Koolau mountains,” “Ko'olau mountains,” and “mauka to makai breezes,” showing consistent building-level availability across many agents rather than a one-off unit feature.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Diamond Head views are clearly supported by multiple listings and agent remarks. Roughly a dozen remarks reference Diamond Head directly, often paired with marina or sunset views, indicating this is a genuine building-level view offering. The repeated phrasing across separate listings suggests the feature is real, not just MLS checkbox noise.

View: City
No

No analysis available

View: Coastline
No

No analysis available

View: Garden
Yes
High

Garden and landscaped views are present in a meaningful subset of units at The Esplanade. Listings mention “garden and marina views,” “private landscaped park,” “lush gardens,” and “garden grounds,” indicating this is a real building-level view option rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
Yes
High

Marina views are a defining feature of The Esplanade. Nearly every listing references “marina views,” “marina-front living,” or direct views of the Hawaii Kai/Koko Marina, with several units noting the view is visible immediately upon entry and from lanais.

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

Sunrise views/exposure are supported by multiple current remarks, though less commonly than marina or mountain views. Several listings explicitly call out “Eastern morning sun,” “watch the sunrise,” and “rising sun over Koko Head,” indicating this feature exists for some units in the building.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Sunset views are consistently mentioned in the listing remarks, though less frequently than marina or mountain views. Examples include "sunset cocktails," "stunning sunset skies," "enjoy the sunset views," and "magenta sunsets," showing this is a recurring amenity for at least some units in the building.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No
Low

I searched for direct references to watching Friday night fireworks from a lanai, unit, or building view. The remarks repeatedly mention marina, ocean, Diamond Head, and mountain views, but do not mention fireworks views or visibility.

Frontage Type
Marina

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Strong support for a resident manager on-site. At least 4+ remarks explicitly say "on-site resident manager" or "resident manager," and several others refer to "on-site management" or staff/management on property. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, matching the prior high-confidence MLS signal.

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.
