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.

I searched for explicit percentages such as "80% owner occupied" and descriptions such as "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied." No owner-occupancy information was found, so the percentage remains unknown.
I searched for statements such as "4 elevators," "four elevators," and "multiple elevators." The remarks only mention avoiding an elevator and do not provide a building-wide elevator 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.
Central air conditioning is supported by both MLS history and current remarks. Several listings explicitly say the central AC is included in maintenance or call out separate AC maintenance/fees, which strongly indicates this is a building-level included feature. The evidence is repeated by multiple agents and is not isolated.
Cable TV appears to be included in the maintenance structure with very high confidence. The MLS signal is extremely strong (19/20 CABTV), and current remarks reinforce it with an explicit fee breakdown that includes cable. This looks consistent across the building rather than a one-off agent note.
Common-area electricity/expenses appear to be included in the association fee structure. The MLS data is very strong across the building (18/20 OTCOEX), even though remarks rarely spell it out directly. This reads like a stable building expense rather than copy-paste noise.

Hot water does not appear to be included in the maintenance fee. The MLS history is stronger in the opposite direction, with many listings showing WTRHTR and only limited HOTWAT support, and current remarks include a unit-level hot water heater reference. This is consistent with units heating their own water rather than the building supplying it.
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-related access and fees are clearly part of the building offering. Listings repeatedly mention boat slips, boat docks, marina access, and even direct fee references to marina dues being included. The evidence is broad, repeated, and clearly building-level.
No analysis available
Water appears to be included for many Esplanade listings, though the remarks are less direct than for cable or internet. The current MLS signal is fairly strong (14/20 WATER), but the public remarks mostly focus on other amenity and fee items. This is likely a real building-level inclusion, just one that agents mention inconsistently.
BBQ facilities are firmly supported at The Esplanade. Many listings mention “BBQ areas,” “BBQ pavilions,” “5 gas BBQ grills,” and similar wording, showing strong repeated confirmation across multiple agents.

No analysis available
Car wash facilities are clearly present. Current remarks mention “car wash area,” “carwash area,” and “carwash w/vacuum,” providing strong repeated confirmation across listings.
The Esplanade is described as having a clubhouse/community center-style amenity in the remarks. References to a “clubhouse,” “social room,” and similar gathering spaces support inclusion of this feature.
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
The Esplanade clearly has an exercise room/fitness center. Current remarks mention it repeatedly across many listings, including phrases like “fitness center,” “gym,” “workout room,” and “fitness room,” which is consistent with the high-confidence MLS history.
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.
Walking/jogging path amenities are supported by multiple listings. Remarks reference “walking paths,” “walking and jogging paths,” and marina/Luna Kai Park strolls, which aligns well with the MLS history.
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.
Putting green is strongly confirmed at The Esplanade. Remarks repeatedly mention “putting green,” “mini-golf,” and “golf practice area,” making this one of the most consistently documented amenities.
The building has a recreation area/recreation deck amenity. Listings refer to “rec deck,” “rec area,” and even a “full scale recreation deck,” which strongly supports this shared amenity.
A recreation room/common party room is well supported. Current remarks reference “recreation room,” “party room,” and “social room,” indicating a shared indoor gathering space available to residents.

Sauna is consistently documented at The Esplanade. Many remarks reference 'sauna' directly, often alongside 'steam room' or 'steam rooms,' which supports the amenity strongly. This appears across multiple listings and agents.
Storage is strongly supported for The Esplanade. Across the remarks, roughly 20+ listings mention phrases like “storage locker,” “storage lockers,” “extra storage,” “4 storage units,” and “storage space,” often alongside parking stalls. This matches the already-high MLS confidence and appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Surfboard storage is directly confirmed in multiple listings. It is described as shared storage or lockers for surfboards and other water equipment, sometimes alongside kayak and canoe storage.
Tennis courts are unquestionably present at The Esplanade. Remarks across numerous listings reference “tennis courts,” “lighted courts,” and “tennis/pickleball courts,” confirming the amenity with very strong consistency.
Trash chute does not have meaningful support in the public remarks. Unlike the other amenities, there are no explicit references to a trash chute or refuse chute across the listings, and the historical MLS signal is relatively weak. This appears to be a likely MLS checkbox mismatch rather than a confirmed building feature.

The Esplanade has a whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenity. Remarks consistently use overlapping terms such as “whirlpool,” “jacuzzi,” “hot tub,” and “spa,” confirming the feature across multiple listings.
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.
There is repeated explicit remark-level evidence that the pool is heated. Multiple listings from different agents describe it as a 'heated saltwater pool' or 'heated pool,' which strongly supports the feature despite the pool_features field being empty.
Saltwater construction is directly and repeatedly confirmed across the remarks. The pool is also frequently described as heated and accompanied by a spa, whirlpool, or jacuzzi.
Evidence is overwhelming that this building offers in-unit laundry. Across the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention washer/dryer in the unit or laundry closet, including phrases such as "in-unit washer/dryer," "Bosch washer and dryer," and "W/D." This is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with the strong historical MLS pattern, so this feature should be treated as confirmed.
No analysis available
The listings primarily describe in-unit laundry appliances. No paid shared laundry service or laundry fees are identified in the remarks.
The remarks mention in-unit washers and dryers, laundry centers, and washer/dryer hookups. No listing describes shared laundry facilities available on every floor.
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 strongly supported across the building. At least 16 of 20 listings show ASSIGN in the MLS parking features, and multiple remarks explicitly say 'assigned,' 'deeded,' or 'designated' stalls, often with covered spaces and storage. The evidence appears consistent across many agents and is not isolated to a single listing.
Covered parking is very well supported throughout the building history. At least 18 of 20 listings include covered/garage-type parking in MLS data, and many public remarks explicitly state '2 covered parking stalls,' 'covered garaged parking stalls,' or 'street-level garage.' This is broad, repeated evidence across multiple listings and agents.
The remarks directly confirm deeded parking for at least one unit. Other listings consistently describe included or assigned parking, supporting—but not independently proving—parking ownership across the building.
No analysis available
The remarks identify separate monthly parking charges rather than parking being universally included in maintenance fees. The documented charges are $86.85 for two covered stalls and $56.20 for one open stall.
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 remarks repeatedly discuss covered, uncovered, assigned, deeded, and multiple parking stalls. However, none describe a parking waitlist system, so this is treated as false based on absence of evidence.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention 24-hour security, security teams, secured parking, and a security screen door. They provide no evidence of a card- or fob-based access system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for The Esplanade. Across the current remarks, many listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "outstanding security team," and "on-site security," which is consistent with the MLS amenity data. This appears to be a stable building-level amenity repeatedly confirmed by multiple agents rather than a copy-paste error.
The listings frequently reference 24-hour security, security staff, and on-site security. None specifically describes patrol or roving security services.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported for The Esplanade. It is explicitly mentioned in well over a dozen current remarks by multiple agents, including phrases such as “Central A/C,” “central air conditioning,” and references to replacement dates and maintenance fees. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be genuine rather than a copy-paste artifact.
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
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS record, with 20 of 20 listings coded CONCRE. None of the public remarks explicitly mention a different construction type, and the pattern appears consistent across many listings rather than copy-paste noise.
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
Masonry/stucco has middling MLS support, appearing in 11 of 20 listings. No agent remarks explicitly confirm it, so this looks more like a partial MLS signal than a strongly verified building fact.

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 were searched for short-term rental permissions, vacation-rental language, NUC, TVU, hotel programs, and rental restrictions. No explicit authorization was found, so STR is treated as not allowed based on the available public remarks.
The many references to resort-style amenities and pools describe resident facilities, not a hotel rental program. Because no hotel pool is identified and STR is not allowed, this feature is false.
The remarks contain no statement that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool. Since no hotel pool is identified and STR is not allowed, mandatory participation is false.

The remarks were searched for leasehold terminology, lease expiration dates, ground-lease language, and extensions or renewals. No specific four-digit lease-expiry year was found, so the value remains unknown.
Several listings directly confirm VA approval for The Esplanade. The repeated explicit statements provide overwhelming evidence that VA financing is permitted.
Several listings repeatedly confirm comprehensive building insurance. Explicit statements include "100% hurricane insured," "Fully insured," and "100% Insured building," providing strong, consistent evidence that the HOA fully insures the building.
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 in the remarks; under the rules, this is treated as false with medium confidence.
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 clearly supported across several listings for this building. At least 5 current/summary-backed listings mention ocean directly, with phrases like "breathtaking... ocean," "stunning ocean views," and "Pacific expanse." The evidence is consistent across different agents and appears to reflect a real building-level view option, not a one-off copy-paste error.
Mountain views are one of the most consistently reported features in the building. Current remarks repeatedly reference "mountain views," "Koolau mountains," and "views of the surrounding natural beauty," matching the strong MLS history of 17/20 listings. This is high-confidence evidence that mountain-view units are available.
Diamond Head views are repeatedly mentioned in current public remarks and are supported by the MLS history. Several listings describe "Diamond Head views" directly, often paired with marina or ocean views. The consistency across agents suggests this is a real and recurring feature of some units.
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 only weakly supported and are not explicitly described in the current remarks. While the MLS has a small number of coastline flags, the public descriptions consistently emphasize other view types instead. This makes coastline views too uncertain to include as a confirmed feature.
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 strongly confirmed by both MLS data and remarks. Dozens of listings mention them, with phrases like "breathtaking views of the marina," "direct Marina views," and "overlooks the Hawaii Kai Marina." The consistency across many different agents suggests this is a genuine building-wide feature, not a copy-paste error.
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 repeatedly mentioned across multiple listings and agents. Several remarks directly call out "sunset skies," "sunset cocktails," and "gorgeous views of sunsets," indicating this is a recurring and real view amenity. The MLS history also shows solid support with 10/20 listings.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly describe marina, ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, sunset, sunrise, 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.
