Hawaiian Monarch
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.
Hawaiian Monarch
Building Overview
Hawaiian Monarch in Waikiki — concrete 1979 building with pool and ocean/mountain views, short-term rentals allowed.
About Hawaiian Monarch
Based on MLS data, Hawaiian Monarch is a concrete high-rise located in Waikiki that was built in 1979. Size details (number of units or floors) are not provided in the available records.
According to available records, the building offers ocean, mountain, and sunset views and includes on-site amenities such as a pool, fitness center, BBQ area, a resident manager, and a security guard. The property is served by six elevators and units use window air conditioning.
Additional MLS-derived details indicate parking is available, pets are not allowed, and short-term rentals are permitted. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS. Buyers should verify all information, including unit size, fees, policies, and management details, with the listing agent or management prior to making decisions.

The remarks include references to properties being suitable for an owner-occupant and state that one owner occupies a unit part-time. These statements do not establish the percentage of owner-occupied units across the building, so the value remains unknown.
The remarks directly confirm that the Hawaiian Monarch has six elevators. This matches the current building context of six elevators and is reasonable for a 43-story, 438-unit building.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

MLS checkbox CABTV is present on 11 of 20 current listings and multiple remarks explicitly state either "free Cable and internet" or refer to a TV/Internet line-item (e.g., "Monthly cable fee (TV/Internet) is $36.62"). Several agents mention "basic cable and internet" or "free Cable and internet," though a few listings reference a separate monthly cable/TV line-item, indicating inconsistent reporting across agents.
Multiple listings explicitly state that electricity is included in maintenance fees, including one specifying that common-area and unit electric charges vary by usage. This confirms the historical high-confidence conclusion that common-area electricity is included, despite usage-based billing.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks explicitly state "Electricity included in maintenance fees (subject to usage)" across several listings, providing strong and repeated confirmation from different agents that electricity is included in the maintenance fee.
No public remarks mention gas included, and only 2 of 20 MLS entries flag GAS in association_fee_includes. Given the lack of supporting remarks and low MLS prevalence, there is little evidence the maintenance fee routinely covers gas.
Hot water is checked in half of the current listings, and no WTRHTR indicator appears. Public remarks rarely identify hot water specifically, so support is moderate rather than definitive, but the available evidence favors inclusion.
Several listings explicitly describe internet as included, including "free Cable and internet" and "Low maintenance fee include basic cable and internet." Other remarks reference a recurring TV/Internet fee, suggesting the service is building-provided even when separately itemized.
No analysis available
Sewer is included in 18 of 20 current listings, with no public remarks contradicting that designation. The high proportion across the MLS records strongly supports this as a building-level maintenance-fee inclusion.
Water is marked as included in 18 of 20 listings, and no remarks indicate that owners pay separate building water fees. This consistent MLS evidence supports retaining water inclusion at high confidence.
BBQ facilities are mentioned extensively, including "BBQ area," "BBQ areas," "BBQ deck," "outdoor BBQ's," and "BBQ grills." The feature is consistently described alongside the pool and other shared resort amenities across many listings, providing very strong building-level confirmation.

Exercise amenities are explicitly mentioned across many listings, with phrases including "fitness center," "exercise room," "gym access," and "on-site fitness center." The repetition across numerous listing styles and agents strongly supports this as a genuine building amenity rather than an isolated checkbox or copy-paste error.

Numerous listings across multiple agents explicitly mention shared outdoor spaces, including a massive or giant pool deck, BBQ deck, sun deck, outdoor seating deck, and pool/recreation deck. The current MLS data also shows PATDEC/COVPAT on 6 of 20 listings, corroborating the strong historical building-level evidence rather than appearing to be isolated copy-paste.

There is clear evidence of a recreation area / recreation deck in the building. Several remarks refer to a "recreation deck," "pool recreation area," or similar shared amenity space, usually in the context of the pool deck. While mentioned less often than BBQ or fitness, the repeated references are consistent and credible.
No listing clearly describes a dedicated recreation room, rec room, game room, entertainment room, or multipurpose room. The only related wording is "recreation deck," "pool recreation area," or "recreation opportunities," which indicates outdoor amenities rather than a true recreation room; the limited two-listing MLS indication is likely checkbox carryover or misclassification.
On-site dining is explicitly documented in many remarks through phrases such as "Cream Pot restaurant," "restaurants in the lobby," "on-site dining," "breakfast and lunch cafe," "coffee shop," and "pizza restaurant." These references include named and described businesses within the building, confirming a real building-level dining amenity.
No analysis available
Sauna is not supported by the current remarks. Across the many listings reviewed, there are zero explicit references to a sauna or steam room, and the existing MLS support appears minimal and likely unreliable.
No analysis available
The listings frequently discuss Waikiki Beach and surfing-related attractions. Searches for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, or bike-and-surfboard storage found no qualifying mention.
No analysis available
Across the available listings, amenities such as laundry, pools, fitness centers, BBQ areas, restaurants, and hot tubs are frequently described, but no listing mentions a trash chute system. Despite 8/20 current MLS records showing TRACHU, the complete absence of supporting remarks across many agents strongly indicates that the checkbox should be corrected to false.

No analysis available
Whirlpool facilities are repeatedly confirmed with direct phrases including "hot tub," "whirlpool," "jacuzzi," "hot tubs," and "2 whirlpools." The feature appears across many independent remarks and is consistently presented as part of the shared pool-deck amenities.
The pool is overwhelmingly confirmed across the listings, with well over 19 remarks describing it as a building amenity. Repeated independent descriptions include “massive 5th-floor pool deck,” “sparkling swimming pool,” “large pool,” and “salt water swimming pool,” supported by the 19/20 current MLS amenity records.
No analysis available
Multiple remarks directly identify the swimming pool as salt water. This is strong, repeated confirmation of the feature.
Very little evidence that any units have in-unit washer/dryer: only 1 of 20 MLS listings lists WASHER/DRYER in inclusions and none of the public remarks (across ~40 remark blocks) mention 'in-unit washer/dryer' or 'in-unit laundry'. Remarks consistently describe shared/coin laundry instead, suggesting the single MLS inclusion is an outlier or agent error.
Community laundry is strongly confirmed for Hawaiian Monarch across numerous listings and multiple agents. At least 25 current remarks explicitly mention shared laundry, including "community laundry," "on-site laundry," and "coin-operated laundromat," with one specifying coined laundry on the 6th floor. This aligns with the current MLS data showing COMLAU in 17 of 20 listings and the previously high-confidence determination.
Multiple listings directly establish that the community laundry requires payment. Both coin-operated and card-paid laundry are specifically mentioned.
The listings repeatedly confirm shared laundry facilities, including a reference to "coined laundry on the 6th floor." No remarks support floor-by-floor or every-floor laundry availability.
Parking is clearly available at Hawaiian Monarch. Across the listings, many agents explicitly mention garage parking, paid daily/nightly parking, or parking available for a fee, while only a small minority of current MLS records check a parking feature box. The pattern looks like inconsistent MLS checkbox entry, not the absence of parking.
Across the listings, parking is described as available for a fee, nightly, or through an on-site garage, but not as assigned or reserved to a unit. Multiple remarks explicitly say there are no designated residential or guest-only stalls, which strongly argues against assigned parking. The single ASSIGN checkbox appears to be copy-paste MLS noise rather than a real building feature.
Multiple listings (at least 8) explicitly mention a parking garage or garage access and paid daily/nightly parking; one listing includes a management note describing the individually owned parking garage and hourly/24-hour rates. The repeated, agent-written remarks point to covered/garage parking being available (paid), so parking_covered is included with high confidence.
No listing states that a parking stall is deeded to or included with a unit. Instead, parking is described as separately managed, paid, daily, overnight, or available for rent.
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly mention parking available for a fee, nightly parking, daily parking, and parking paid directly to the building. Specific rates such as $45-$50 per 24 hours are provided, but no monthly parking fee is stated.

The remarks discuss paid parking availability, individually owned parking, and daily or overnight rates. No evidence was found of a building parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly confirm card-based or keyed access for units and elevators. This supports a building security or access system using key cards, fobs, or equivalent electronic credentials.
Security guard service is strongly supported across many listings and multiple agents, with 17/20 current MLS records marking the amenity. Numerous remarks explicitly state “24-hour security,” “24-hour security guards,” or “24-hr security,” including descriptions of a secured building, security cameras, and keyed elevators; this is consistent with the prior high-confidence determination rather than an isolated copy-paste checkbox.
The building is clearly staffed or monitored for security, consistent with the provided security_guard context. No public remark specifically confirms a patrol service, so this feature is not supported.

Window air conditioning is strongly supported as a consistent Hawaiian Monarch feature: current MLS data shows ACWIUN in all 20 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks explicitly reference a "new window A/C" or "new air conditioner," confirming the feature beyond checkbox data.
Concrete construction is supported by 14 of 20 current MLS listings containing CONCRE in the construction_materials field, consistent with the building’s prior high-confidence history. The remarks largely focus on rentals and amenities and do not explicitly mention construction materials, but there is no conflicting evidence or indication of a building-wide change.
Very limited MLS checkbox signal (only 1 of 20 current listings checked 'DOUWAL') and no public remarks mention 'double wall' or similar. Given lack of historical support and absence in remarks, the single checkbox likely reflects an agent error/copy-paste rather than a building feature.
No analysis available
3 of 20 current MLS records list construction as 'MASSTU', but none of the public remarks mention masonry or stucco. Historical confidence was Low and the limited MLS checkbox entries may reflect inconsistent agent input rather than clear building-level construction confirmation.
Steel frame construction is not supported by the remarks, and the current MLS evidence is extremely thin at 1 of 20 listings. Because there is no explicit building-wide confirmation and no sign of a recent structural change, the checkbox appears unreliable and the feature is treated as absent.

There is no meaningful public-remarks support for above-ground construction across the listings, and the MLS signal is very weak at just 3 of 20. Because agents often copy/paste unchecked or speculative construction flags without verification, this feature is best treated as absent for now.

The listings repeatedly and directly confirm that Hawaiian Monarch permits legal short-term and vacation rentals. Remarks also reference Airbnb, VRBO, transient guests, DPP registration, and a building exemption for stays under 30 days.
The public remarks explicitly identify a hotel pool rental program as an available management option. This is consistent with the confirmed short-term-rental status of the building.
The hotel rental pool is presented as an optional alternative rather than a requirement. Listings repeatedly describe independent owner use, Airbnb operation, long-term rentals, and the ability to opt for the hotel pool only if desired.

The remarks directly identify the leasehold expiration date as August 1, 2054. Other remarks describe the property as leasehold and mention fee-simple conversion, but no later lease-expiration year is provided.
The remarks extensively discuss investment financing potential and short-term rentals, but do not mention VA approval, VA financing, or VA loans. Based on the absence of any qualifying statement, the building is not confirmed as VA approved.
The remarks discuss maintenance fees, utilities, amenities, and rental operations but provide no evidence about the building's insurance coverage. Full insurance or walls-in coverage cannot be confirmed from these listings.
Fire sprinklers are supported by 13/20 current MLS listings and an explicit remark stating that “both the units and common areas are equipped with a fire sprinkler system.” The combination of strong historical confidence, majority MLS support, and direct current confirmation makes this feature well established.
The remarks mention fire sprinkler systems, 24-hour security, keyed elevators, and general building safety. However, they do not state that an FLSE was passed, that the building is fire-safety certified, or that it is life-safety compliant.
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 explicitly mentioned in at least 5 of 20 current MLS view descriptions, while the broader remarks repeatedly cite phrases such as "partial ocean views," "sparkling ocean views," "270-degree panoramic ocean views," and "Pacific Ocean." The evidence appears across many units and listing agents, not merely as an isolated copied description.
Mountain views are mentioned in at least 10 of 20 current MLS view descriptions and throughout the remarks, including "mountain scenery," "rolling mountains," "mountain to Diamond Head views," and "panoramic ... mountain and city" views. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple units and agents.
Diamond Head views are mentioned repeatedly throughout the remarks, often in combination with ocean and canal views. Multiple listings reference "Diamond Head views" or "view of Diamond Head crater," showing broad support across several agents and unit stacks. This is strong building-level evidence that Diamond Head views are available.
City views are the most consistently documented feature, appearing in at least 15 of 20 current MLS view descriptions. Remarks repeatedly use phrases such as "city skyline," "city lights," "Honolulu skyline," and "vibrant urban living," demonstrating broad building-level availability.
Coastline views are less frequently stated than ocean or Diamond Head, but there is direct language such as "sparkling coastline" and related shoreline/ocean-facing descriptions. The evidence is moderate rather than overwhelming, yet it is sufficient to keep the feature enabled because buyers searching for coastline views would reasonably find applicable units in this building. The phrasing appears in public remarks rather than being limited to MLS checkbox copy.
No analysis available
Golf course views are well supported by multiple listings, especially remarks referencing the Ala Wai Golf Course directly. The feature appears on several stacks and is reinforced by repeated descriptions rather than isolated or dubious MLS checkbox data.
Marina-type views are strongly supported by at least 11 of 20 current MLS view descriptions and numerous remarks describing "Ala Wai Canal" views. Two listings explicitly say "views ... of the Marina," while many others reference canal or harbor scenery, which is the relevant marina-view evidence for this building.
Sunrise views are explicitly documented in multiple remarks, including "breathtaking sunrise views," "beautiful sunrise view," "Wake up watching the beautiful sunrise," and "daily Waikiki sunrise." The feature may be limited to particular stacks or orientations, but the repeated direct descriptions establish that the building offers units with sunrise views.
Sunset evidence appears in multiple remarks, including "beautiful sunset views facing the canal" and evening views featuring "Friday night fireworks." This likely varies by unit orientation, but the direct references confirm that sunset views are available in the building.
No analysis available
The remarks explicitly describe Friday night fireworks visible from a unit window. This meets the requirement for a fireworks view from the building or unit, rather than merely being near a fireworks venue.

No analysis available
A resident/on-site manager is supported by 9/20 current MLS listings, including explicit phrases such as “on-site manager” and “General Manager on site.” Additional remarks refer to an existing manager who can continue managing a unit, and the evidence is consistent with the building-level feature rather than a single isolated checkbox.
