Hale Ka Lae

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 any quantified owner-occupancy rate or descriptive phrase indicating a predominantly owner-occupied building, but nothing was stated. The listings include owner/investor language and occupancy status for individual units, yet they do not describe the building’s overall owner-occupancy level. Therefore this remains unknown from the remarks.

Elevators
Low

I searched the public remarks for an explicit elevator count or phrasing like 'multiple elevators,' but none was provided. The remarks only mention storage units being near the elevators, which confirms elevators exist but does not state how many. Without an explicit count, the value remains unknown.

Association Fee Low
$509
High

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

Association Fee High
$937
High

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

Association Fee (Penthouse)
High

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

Fee Includes Central AC
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Cable
No
High

There is no remark-based support for cable being included in the maintenance fee, and only 1 of 20 current listings has CABTV checked. With no corroborating language across the building's remarks, this feature should be treated as not included.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Common-area electricity appears to be included at Hale Ka Lae based on current MLS data, where 12 of 20 listings have OTCOEX checked. The public remarks do not explicitly mention the utility, but they consistently reference extensive shared amenities (pool, fitness center, movie theater, BBQ areas, dog park), which aligns with a building-wide common power expense.

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 Hale Ka Lae's maintenance fees. Across 20 listings, none check HOTWAT and many list WTRHTR, which is a strong sign that units have their own water heaters instead of building-provided hot water. The public remarks also support this with 'Water is billed back monthly per usage.'

Fee Includes Internet
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
No
High

Sewer is consistently described as an extra charge, not an included HOA benefit. One listing states the exact phrase 'Sewer fee monthly (may slightly vary) $65.67,' which directly confirms sewer is billed outside the maintenance fee. The limited MLS checkbox data is outweighed by this explicit remark evidence.

Fee Includes Water
No
High

At least one listing clearly states water is billed back monthly by usage, and no remarks indicate water is included in HOA fees. The evidence is consistent across the building-level remarks and strongly suggests the WATER checkbox in some MLS entries is incorrect.

Bbq
Yes
High

Shared BBQ/grilling amenities are very strongly supported for Hale Ka Lae. Numerous listings mention 'BBQ areas,' 'BBQ cabanas,' 'cabanas with BBQ,' and 'barbecue grills,' indicating this is a consistent building-level amenity rather than a one-off copy/paste error.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
No

No analysis available

Club House
Yes
High

The building appears to offer clubhouse-style common space, though the wording varies by listing. Multiple remarks mention a "club room," "party room," or community/recreation room, which supports a shared clubhouse/community-center type amenity. Evidence is solid, but less uniform than the fitness or BBQ features.

Concierge
No
High

There is no convincing evidence of a staffed concierge service in the remarks. One listing mentions a "package concierge system," but that refers to parcel handling, not a front-desk or concierge staff. With only 1 of 20 MLS records carrying CONCIE and no explicit service descriptions, the feature should be treated as absent.

Dog Park
Yes
High

The building clearly includes a pet-focused shared amenity such as a dog park or dog run. Multiple listings explicitly say 'dog park,' 'gated dog park,' 'dog run,' and even 'dog bath station/dog spa,' making the evidence very strong across agents.

Doorman
No

No analysis available

Exercise Room
Yes
High

Strong building-level evidence supports an exercise room/fitness center at Hale Ka Lae. Across many public remarks, agents consistently describe resort-style amenities including a 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'exercise room,' or 'fitness room,' which is reinforced by the high MLS amenity hit rate.

Limo Service
No

No analysis available

Meeting Room
Yes
High

Meeting/conference room availability is strongly supported across the listings. Many remarks explicitly describe "meeting rooms," "meeting spaces," or "meeting/business room," with several separate agents repeating the same amenity. This is consistent, direct evidence of a shared meeting room feature.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

There is strong building-level evidence for patio/deck amenities. Multiple listings mention outdoor spaces such as "open lanai," "outdoor courtyard," "outdoor deck," and "deck" in a way that suggests this is part of the building’s offering rather than a one-off typo. The pattern appears across many listings/agents, reinforcing that patio/deck-style outdoor space is a real feature.

Path Jogging
No
Low

Little to no evidence in remarks: no listings explicitly state "jogging path" or "walking path" for the building. References are limited to nearby trails or neighborhood access, so on-site jogging path is not supported by the remarks.

Playground
No

No analysis available

Private Yard
Yes
High

Private yard space is directly confirmed in multiple listings. Remarks include phrases like "your own fenced yard," "private yard (461sf!!)," and "direct access to outdoor space," which strongly indicates that some units in the building offer private yard access. This looks like a legitimate building/unit feature rather than copy-paste noise.

Putting Green
No

No analysis available

Recreation Area
Yes
High

There is solid evidence for a shared recreation area or recreation space at the building. Listings refer to "recreation rooms," "rec room," "party room with deck," and gated green open space, aligning with the MLS amenity pattern seen in about 7 of 20 records. The feature appears to be a genuine common amenity, though less universally referenced than BBQ or fitness.

Recreation Room
Yes
High

Strong evidence the building has an indoor recreation/party room amenity. Multiple listings mention "rec room," "recreation rooms," "versatile party rooms," or similar indoor flex/entertainment spaces, indicating this is a real shared feature rather than a checkbox error.

Restaurant
No

No analysis available

Rooftop
No

No analysis available

Sauna
No

No analysis available

Storage Unit
Yes
High

Storage is clearly available in the building. Across the provided remarks, at least 10 listings explicitly mention storage-related features, including 'extra storage unit,' 'deeded storage space,' 'storage unit part of the sale,' 'Sold with Storage unit S1002,' and 'storage room near the elevators.' The evidence is strong and comes from multiple listings/agents, not just copy-paste checkbox data.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

This amenity is directly named in the public remarks. No inference is needed because surfboard storage is explicitly listed among the building amenities.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
Medium

Trash chute appears in the MLS amenity data often enough to suggest it exists, but the public remarks do not directly confirm it. Because agents may copy MLS checkboxes, this is weaker than the other features and remains only moderate confidence.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
Yes
High

Whirlpool/hot tub/spa amenities are consistently described in the public remarks for Hale Ka Lae. Listings mention 'pool with spa,' 'hot tub,' 'whirlpool,' and 'jacuzzi,' so the feature appears to be a real shared amenity supported by both current MLS data and remarks.

Pool
Yes
High

Pool is strongly supported for Hale Ka Lae. Roughly 30+ public remarks mention it, often in shared-amenity language such as "pool," "swimming pool," "saltwater pool," and "large swimming pool," usually alongside spa/hot tub and resort-style amenities. The repeated mentions across many listings and agents are consistent and read like standard amenity descriptions rather than copy-paste errors.

Pool Heated
No

No analysis available

Pool Salt
Yes
High

This feature is directly confirmed in multiple public remarks. The pool is described as saltwater/salt-water several times, leaving little ambiguity.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

In-unit laundry is clearly supported across the listings: at least several remarks explicitly mention 'in-unit laundry' or 'washer & dryer in the unit.' This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error, so the feature should be included.

Community Laundry
Yes
High

Shared/community laundry is supported by multiple remarks, including 'Community Landry also in the building,' 'laundry facility,' and 'additional laundry facilities.' The evidence is consistent with the current MLS amenity data and does not look like a single isolated mention.

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for payment-based laundry terms like coin laundry, coin-op, card-operated machines, quarters, or laundry fees. None of the listings explicitly say laundry is paid, so there is no public-remarks evidence for this feature.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I looked for explicit wording such as "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," or similar floor-specific laundry references. The remarks only mention generic laundry facilities, laundry in-unit, or a shared laundry/foyer, which does not confirm laundry on every floor.

Parking
Yes
High

Parking is very strongly supported across the current remarks and historical MLS data. Multiple listings explicitly mention "2 assigned side-by-side parking stalls," "covered parking," "dedicated parking stall," and even separate parking stall offerings, showing this building offers parking broadly and not just in a one-off unit. The evidence appears consistent across many agents rather than isolated copy-paste.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Assigned parking is strongly confirmed by both the MLS data and the remarks. Many listings explicitly say "assigned" or "deeded" parking, including phrases like "2 assigned side-by-side parking stalls" and "two secure, assigned parking stalls." This is consistent, repeated evidence across multiple listings, not a single-agent anomaly.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Covered parking is strongly supported across many Hale Ka Lae listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "covered parking," "secured-covered parking stalls," "gated and Covered parking stall," and "TWO ASSIGNED COVERED PARKING STALLS," showing this is a building-level feature rather than a one-off unit amenity.

Parking Deeded
No
High

I looked for deeded parking, owned stalls, or parking included in the deed. The remarks consistently describe assigned or available parking stalls, including limited common element parking, but never say the parking is deeded to the unit. That supports false.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

I searched for parking fee language such as monthly parking charge, parking rental, or extra parking cost. The listings discuss parking stalls, availability, and ownership restrictions, but they do not state any monthly parking fee. No numeric fee can be extracted.

Parking Guest
Yes
High

Guest parking is clearly supported across multiple listings for Hale Ka Lae. Several remarks explicitly note "lots of guest parking," "ample guest parking," and "20 guest stalls," indicating a shared building amenity consistently described by different agents.

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

Secured-entry parking is supported by multiple remarks describing card access, gated parking, and secure parking stalls. While not every listing mentions it, the repeated wording across different remarks is strong evidence that parking access is secured. The MLS checkbox activity aligns with the remarks.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Medium

I looked for explicit waitlist language like parking waitlist or join waitlist for parking. The remarks talk about stalls being limited or available for purchase, but never mention a waitlist system. Absence of such wording supports false.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

The listings provide explicit evidence of card-based access, including a direct note that access requires a card. That supports a building security system with card/fob-type access.

Security Guard
Yes
Medium

Security service appears supported at a moderate level across the building. About 7 of 20 MLS records currently carry SECGUA, and several remarks mention "secured entry," "secure environment," "security," and "on-site management". The evidence suggests building-level security presence, though some language may be marketing copy rather than a repeated explicit "guard" description.

Security Patrol
No
Low

I searched for wording like security patrol, roving security, patrolled building, or similar service descriptions. The remarks do mention secured entry, on-site management, and general security, but not an actual patrol service.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
No

No analysis available

Split AC
Yes
Medium

Split AC appears in a minority of current MLS records (3 of 20 listings), while the public remarks do not directly reference mini-splits, ductless systems, or individual AC units. Because only some units need to have this feature for buyer search purposes, I’m keeping it as present but with modest confidence until remarks or broader listing data confirm it more clearly.

Window AC
No
High

Across the provided listings, none explicitly say "window AC," "window air conditioner," or "wall AC"; the closest wording is simply that "all four A/C units have been recently replaced." The historical MLS pattern was moderate rather than strong (12 of 20), so without remark confirmation this feature is not well supported for the building.

Concrete
Yes
High

Concrete construction is strongly supported for Hale Ka Lae. The MLS construction material field shows CONCRE in 17 of 20 listings, which is a very high-consistency signal across multiple listings/agents. The public remarks do not challenge this and one listing even references a "solid concrete wall," reinforcing the concrete-built nature of the building.

Double Wall
No

No analysis available

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
No
High

Across the provided listings, 0 remarks explicitly mention masonry or stucco, while one remark specifically says "modern concrete construction." The low current MLS prevalence (2/20) also suggests the MASSTU checkbox is likely inconsistent or a copy/paste artifact rather than a confirmed building feature.

Steel Frame
No
High

Steel frame construction is not supported by the current listing remarks. Only 1 of 20 listings has STEFRA checked, and none of the remarks describe a steel frame building or steel frame construction. This looks like an isolated MLS checkbox entry rather than verified building information.

Slab
No

No analysis available

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

No analysis available

Above Ground
No
High

There is no remark-based evidence supporting above-ground construction at Hale Ka Lae. Multiple listings mention amenities, views, layouts, and insurance compliance, but none describe the building as above-ground constructed; the current MLS checkbox appears to be uncorroborated.

Brick
No

No analysis available

Single Wall
No

No analysis available

STR Allowed
No
Medium

I searched for STR-permitted wording, NUC/TVU references, hotel-style rental language, and minimum-stay exceptions. The listings repeatedly describe live-in/rent-the-other-side flexibility, but that reads like general rental potential rather than short-term rental approval. With no explicit STR language, this is best treated as false.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

I looked for hotel rental pool references and hotel-managed operation language. Nothing in the remarks suggests a hotel pool program, and STR itself is not supported by the listings. Per the rules, this must be false when STR is not allowed.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

I searched for wording like mandatory participation, required rental program, cannot opt out, or owner must enroll. The remarks contain none of that language. Since STR is not supported, mandatory pool participation must also be false.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
No

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

I searched for ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, renewal, and extension wording, but found no lease expiration year. One public remark explicitly calls the property fee simple, which points away from a leasehold tenure. Because no 4-digit lease end year appears in the remarks, the expiry remains unknown.

Financing V A
Yes
High

The public remarks repeatedly and directly confirm VA financing eligibility. This is strong, explicit evidence, so the building should be treated as VA loan approved.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

The remarks repeatedly and clearly indicate the building is fully insured, with multiple direct references to 100% hurricane insurance compliance. This is strong, consistent evidence across listings, so confidence is very high.

Fire Sprinklers
Yes
High

Strong, repeated evidence across many Hale Ka Lae listings confirms the building has a fire sprinkler system. Multiple listings from different agents explicitly mention "sprinklers," "sprinkler system," or being "equipped with fire alarm and sprinklers," making this a consistent building-level feature rather than a one-off checkbox error.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
Yes
Low

I looked for direct fire/life safety pass language, including FLSE, fire safety certification, or a passed fire inspection, but found none. The remarks do mention fire alarms, sprinklers, and that the building is fully compliant with hurricane insurance, but those are not the same as an explicit fire/life safety evaluation pass.

Flood Zone (Current)
X
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
Yes
High

Ocean views are clearly offered by some units at Hale Ka Lae. Across the public remarks, several listings explicitly mention 'Pacific Ocean,' 'ocean,' or 'sparkling ocean,' and the current MLS data shows 5 of 20 listings with OCEAN in the view description. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents rather than a single copy-paste remark.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

Mountain views are strongly supported across multiple listings and agents. The remarks mention 'surrounding mountains,' 'foot of the Koolau mountains,' and 'mountains' in several places, while current MLS data shows 8 of 20 listings with mountain view language. This is consistent with building-level availability rather than a single unit-only feature.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

Diamond Head views are present in at least some Hale Ka Lae units. Public remarks explicitly call out 'Diamond Head' in more than one listing, and the MLS view data includes a DIAHEA entry. This looks like genuine unit-level variation rather than a mistaken checkbox pattern.

View: City
No

No analysis available

View: Coastline
No
High

Coastline views are not supported by the public remarks for Hale Ka Lae. Listings consistently discuss marina and ocean views rather than coastline or shoreline exposure, and the MLS data shows only 2 of 20 listings with COASTL. This looks like a sparse or erroneous MLS checkbox rather than a real building-wide feature.

View: Garden
Yes
High

Garden or landscaped outlooks are clearly available in some units. The remarks include explicit 'garden view' language plus multiple references to green open space, park-like surroundings, and foliage, and the MLS data shows 6 of 20 listings with GARDEN. Evidence is broad and consistent across several listings.

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
Yes
High

Marina views are strongly confirmed for Hale Ka Lae. Roughly a dozen current remarks mention 'marina,' 'Hawaii Kai Marina,' 'waterfront,' or 'Ala Wai-style waterfront/marina-adjacent views,' including several explicit panoramic-view descriptions. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and appears to reflect real building-level view offerings rather than copy-paste checkbox noise.

View: Sunrise
No
High

There is no meaningful textual evidence for sunrise-facing views in the remarks. While 3 of 20 MLS records include SUNRIS, the public remarks do not corroborate it and instead focus on marina, mountain, ocean, and Koko Head views. This looks more like unchecked MLS carryover or inconsistent labeling than a confirmed building feature.

View: Sunset
No
High

Sunset views are not well supported for Hale Ka Lae. Across the provided remarks, none explicitly describe sunset, western exposure, or evening-sun views, while the MLS view data is mixed and leans away from the feature (3/20 SUNSET vs. 9/20 NONE). Based on the public remarks, this appears more like inconsistent listing input than a reliable building characteristic.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No
Low

I looked for explicit references to viewing Friday night fireworks from the building, unit, lanai, or balcony. The remarks mention marina, ocean, Diamond Head, and mountain views, but nothing about fireworks views from the property.

Frontage Type
Marina

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Resident manager is strongly confirmed across multiple listings for Hale Ka Lae. Several remarks explicitly say "resident manager is on-site" or refer to "on-site management," indicating this is not just a checkbox artifact but a recurring building feature mentioned by different agents. The evidence is consistent and high confidence.

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.
