Ilikai Apt Building
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.

The remarks were searched for an explicit owner-occupancy percentage and phrases such as “majority owner occupied” or “highly owner occupied.” Remarks mention individual owner use, owner occupancy, and long-term tenants, but do not provide a building-wide percentage. The current value of 8.00 is retained with low confidence because there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny it.
The remarks were searched for explicit counts such as “4 elevators,” written-out numbers, or references to multiple elevators. No qualifying elevator count was found to confirm or deny the current value. The current value of 6 is therefore retained with low confidence.

Numerous listings mention cable TV or a cable charge included with or itemized on the maintenance fee, including “monthly maintenance fee includes cable TV fee” and “monthly fees include ... cable.” The evidence is strong across many listings and agents, and the current MLS checkbox pattern supports inclusion.
At least one listing explicitly states that the maintenance fee covers “common area expenses,” while current MLS data lists OTCOEX in 11 of 20 listings. Although most remarks do not spell out common-area electricity, the repeated MLS pattern provides strong building-level support.
No analysis available
Electricity is repeatedly described as billed through the maintenance-fee statement or as an itemized building fee. Remarks include 'Electricity is billed separately' from the base maintenance fee and 'Electricity - charged on maintenance invoice monthly,' indicating inclusion in the building invoice even if separately itemized.
Very limited MLS checkbox presence for gas (2 of 20 records) and no agent remarks indicating "gas included" or similar; given the lack of supporting public-remarks evidence, gas inclusion appears not to be a standard building-level maintenance inclusion.
The strongest direct evidence is the remark that the maintenance fee “covers common area expenses, hot water, trash, sewer, and water.” Current MLS data supports this in 15 of 20 listings, and no listings identify unit water heaters through WTRHTR.
Several listings state that the additional fee covers “cable TV and Wi-Fi,” “cable/wifi,” or “cable and internet fees.” The current MLS pattern shows INTSER in 13 of 20 listings, providing strong support despite some remarks only naming cable.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is unanimously supported by the current MLS data, appearing in 20 of 20 listings. A listing explicitly states that the maintenance fee covers “trash, sewer, and water,” confirming the building-level benefit.
Water inclusion is unanimously supported by current MLS data, with WATER present in 20 of 20 listings. The remark stating that the maintenance fee covers “trash, sewer, and water” provides direct confirmation across the MLS pattern.

No listing remarks reference a clubhouse, club house, community center, or recreation center space despite very detailed amenity descriptions. With 19/20 listings not checking CLUHOU and no textual support, this appears to be an incorrect recent checkbox selection, so the building is treated as not having a clubhouse-style facility.
Concierge service is confirmed by multiple listings, including remarks stating that the building offers a "concierge," "concierge service," and "concierge services." Although mentioned in fewer listings than security, the repeated explicit references and matching 7/20 MLS records provide strong building-level evidence.
No analysis available
Direct doorman wording is scarce, but multiple remarks point to a staffed lobby experience: "front desk," "bellman," and "valet service" appear alongside hotel-style operations. This suggests the building offers a doorman/lobby-attendant function, but the evidence is more implied than explicit. Because the MLS support is only moderate and the language is inconsistent, confidence is below the other amenities.
At least 9 current listings explicitly mention the feature, using phrases such as "exercise room," "fitness center," "fully equipped fitness center," and "24-hour fitness center." The evidence appears across multiple agents and is consistent with the previously high-confidence MLS history, so this is a confirmed building amenity.
No analysis available
I found no credible public-remarks evidence that the Ilikai has a meeting room or conference room. Across the provided listings, amenities repeatedly mention pools, on-site dining, shops, and valet/security, but no meeting/conference/community room is described.
More than 20 listings explicitly mention a lanai, balcony, patio-like outdoor space, or deck, including multiple independent descriptions of spacious and covered lanais. The evidence is widespread across agents and unit types and strongly confirms that the building offers patio/deck outdoor space.
There is no convincing evidence of a dedicated jogging or walking path amenity at the Ilikai. Remarks refer to beach access, walking to Waikiki/Ala Moana, and a direct pathway down to the beach, which reads as access/egress rather than a building jogging path.
No analysis available
No public remarks (0 of the sampled listings) mention 'private yard', 'fenced yard', or equivalent; listings consistently describe lanais/balconies, not private yard space. Current MLS shows 1/20 listings with PRIYAR (likely erroneous) while agent text provides no supporting evidence, so the building should not be considered to offer private yard space.
No analysis available
Several listings mention a "sun deck," "sundeck," "pool deck," "ocean view deck," "recreation area," or building entertainment/deck areas. The repeated references across different listing descriptions support a shared recreation or amenity area rather than a unit-specific feature.
No listings' public remarks describe a dedicated recreation/rec/game room. MLS checkbox appears in only 1 of 20 current listings (new flag), and there is no historical confirmation in remarks — evidence points to an isolated/erroneous checkbox rather than a real shared recreation room.
More than 50 current or historical remarks mention on-site restaurants, dining, cafés, or named establishments such as Cinnamon's and Pesca, with repeated phrases including "on-site dining," "two restaurants," and "restaurants, shops." The evidence is extensive across many independent listings and strongly confirms that the building offers restaurant or dining facilities.
No analysis available
Historical data strongly indicated a sauna/spa amenity; current MLS has a few SAUNA checks (2/20) but the public remarks here do not explicitly mention "sauna" or "steam room." Given prior high-confidence records and limited present checklist indications, the building likely offers a sauna, but evidence is implied rather than explicitly described in the current remarks.
Multiple listings explicitly mention storage, including a "rented storage unit," "monthly storage available for rent," and "storage rentals" as an additional building convenience. Although only 1/20 current MLS records includes the storage amenity checkbox and none list it as a unit feature, the repeated remarks and strong historical support confirm that the building offers storage units for rent.
The building is frequently described as being near beaches and surfing locations, but those references concern nearby amenities and activities. Storage rentals are mentioned in some listings without identifying surfboard or board storage.
I found no public-remarks evidence that the Ilikai has tennis court facilities. The current MLS data only shows TENCOU in 1/20 listings, which is too sparse to overcome the complete lack of mention in the remarks. This suggests the amenity is probably being checked incorrectly in MLS rather than reflecting an actual building feature.
Zero provided listings explicitly mention a "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute," despite the feature appearing in 8 of 20 current MLS records. Given the prior low confidence and complete absence of remark confirmation, the current checkbox data is not reliable enough to include the feature.
At least 20 listings explicitly mention valet, including phrases such as "valet parking," "valet service for parking," "24-hour valet," and "downstairs you’ll find valet parking for guests." The repeated references across numerous listings and agents, together with the current MLS amenity count, provide strong confirmation that valet service is offered.
No analysis available
There is explicit evidence of whirlpool-style amenities in the building. A few listings mention "jacuzzis" or "jacuzzi" in the amenity list, which is enough to confirm the feature even though it appears less frequently than the fitness or dining amenities.
Swimming pools are mentioned in well over 20 listings, consistently across numerous agents and listing descriptions. Key phrases include 'two swimming pools,' 'two pools,' 'two outdoor pools,' and 'the building offers...a pool,' confirming this is a shared building amenity rather than isolated copy-paste unit information.
Heated pools are explicitly mentioned in numerous current remarks, including 'heated main pool,' 'two heated swimming pools,' '2 heated pools,' and 'two heated hotel pools.' Although only 2/20 current MLS records include the heated-pool amenity and none mark HEATED in pool_features, the repeated detailed remarks across multiple listings and the prior high-confidence evidence strongly support that the building has heated swimming pools.
The listings clearly confirm multiple swimming pools, including heated pools, but none identify the water as saltwater or saline. References to the ocean and salt air describe the location, not the pool type.
At least 6 current remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry, including 'deeded in-unit washer and dryer,' 'in-unit washer/dryer,' and 'washer and dryer in the unit.' The feature is confirmed across multiple distinct listings and aligns with the previously high-confidence evidence, so it should remain included as an available building feature for some units.
Evidence is overwhelming across the listing set: 17/20 current listings include COMLAU, while at least 15 current or repeated remarks explicitly mention shared laundry. Key phrases include "community laundry," "laundry room on each floor," "common laundry on each floor," and "on site card-operated laundry facilities," with support across multiple listing agents rather than a single isolated checkbox.
The laundry facilities are described as coin-operated and card-operated, establishing that their use requires payment. This evidence appears in multiple listings.
Multiple listings directly confirm that community laundry is available on every floor. The repeated floor-by-floor references are consistent across the remarks.
Parking is strongly confirmed across numerous listings and agents. Repeated remarks cite "valet parking," "valet service for parking," monthly or rented parking, and "garage parking available (fee)," indicating the building offers parking even though many current MLS records incorrectly show NONE.
Several listings reference parking, but only a small subset explicitly suggests assigned or secured parking. The strongest phrasing is "a monthly paid parking space is currently secured," while other remarks mention valet parking or parking available for rent, which is weaker evidence for assigned stalls. Overall, the feature appears to exist for some units in the building, but the evidence is limited and not broadly repeated across remarks.
Covered parking is strongly supported across the current remarks, with many listings referencing "valet parking," "garage parking available (fee)," and monthly parking spaces. The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error, and it aligns with the prior high-confidence MLS data.
Parking is consistently characterized as valet, rentable, or separately paid. One listing explicitly says “parking available for rent,” while no listing states that a parking stall is deeded, owned, or included in the unit deed.
No analysis available
The remarks consistently indicate that parking is not included and may be rented separately, including references to "parking available for rent," "monthly parking," and a "monthly paid parking space." However, no specific monthly dollar amount for parking was found, so the fee remains unknown.

The remarks were searched for parking waitlist, waiting-list, or instructions to join a parking list. They discuss valet parking and rented or monthly parking, but provide no evidence of a building parking waitlist.
No analysis available
The remarks confirm security guards, 24-hour security, concierge services, and door-code entry in individual listing instructions. However, they do not establish a building-wide card or fob access system.
Security service is strongly supported across the building: SECGUA is selected in 16/20 current listings, and at least 10 public remarks explicitly mention security. Key phrases include “24-hour security,” “24/7 security,” “dedicated security guard,” and “on-site Security,” appearing across multiple listing descriptions rather than only one isolated copy-paste.
The listings repeatedly confirm on-site security personnel, but guard presence alone does not establish a dedicated patrol service. No public remark explicitly describes the building as patrolled or references roving security.
No analysis available
Historical data and prior review showed no building-wide central air. In the current remarks, 1 of ~20 listings explicitly says 'Central AC', while dozens repeatedly mention 'split A/C', 'ductless', or 'split-system' (e.g., 'split A/C', 'ductless A/C', 'Split A/C (sub metered)'). MLS unit checkbox for central AC is unchecked across listings (0/20), so evidence strongly indicates no building-wide central air system.
Numerous listings from multiple agents explicitly mention split AC, including "split A/C," "split air conditioning," "ductless A/C," and "split-system air conditioner"; well over 20 remarks contain these descriptions. The evidence is strong and consistent across the building, and the current MLS inclusion data supports it with ACSPL checked in 15/20 listings.
One listing explicitly states that the unit includes a "window air conditioning unit," while historical MLS data shows ACWIUN in 2 of 20 listings. The evidence is limited but direct and consistent with the prior high-confidence building-level determination that some Ilikai units offer window AC.
Nineteen of 20 listings identify CONCRE in the construction materials field. No public remarks explicitly use phrases such as "concrete construction" or "reinforced concrete," but the consistency across listings is strong and unlikely to be an isolated agent error.
Nine of 20 current listings report DOUWAL in construction_materials. Public remarks contain no direct references to "double wall," "double-wall construction," or "two walls," so the evidence comes primarily from repeated MLS coding rather than independent narrative confirmation.

No analysis available
None of the numerous public remarks mention “steel frame” or “steel frame construction.” Only 1 of 20 current MLS records includes STEFRA, which appears isolated and may reflect unverified checkbox data rather than consistent confirmation; the feature is retained only because historical data previously rated it highly.
There is no meaningful support in the public remarks for a slab foundation at the Ilikai. The current listings overwhelmingly discuss unit renovations, views, and hotel/rental operations, but none explicitly describe a concrete slab foundation. Given the lack of remarks support and the weak checkbox signal, this feature should remain excluded.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Two of 20 current listings identify ABOGRO in the construction materials field. None of the public remarks explicitly mention "above ground construction" or "above-ground materials," so support is limited in the current sample, but the retained historical high-confidence designation and existing MLS entries support inclusion.

The listings overwhelmingly and repeatedly confirm that short-term rentals are permitted at the Ilikai. Remarks reference legal daily, nightly, weekly, and vacation rentals, resort zoning, Airbnb legality, and short-term rental eligibility.
The building participates in hotel-style rental programs. Numerous listings explicitly identify the Aqua-Aston, Aqua Hotel, Ilikai Hotel, or Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites rental pool programs.
Hotel-pool participation is available but is not mandatory building-wide. Listings repeatedly describe flexible management options, owner use, self-management, third-party management, and units operating outside the hotel pool.

The remarks repeatedly describe the Ilikai as a condominium, condotel, fee-simple property, or resort-zoned building. No four-digit lease-expiration year, ground-lease end date, or lease-renewal date was found.
The public remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval, VA financing, VA loans, or VA loans being accepted. None were found, so the building's VA loan approval status cannot be confirmed from these remarks.
The remarks were searched for “fully insured,” “full insurance,” “fully covered insurance,” comprehensive building insurance, and walls-in coverage. None of these terms or equivalent statements appeared. With no current true value and no supporting evidence, the feature is set to false with medium-low confidence.
Fire sprinklers are supported by direct building-level language in 1 listing: "there are sprinkler systems in the building." Additionally, 14 of 20 current listings include the FIRSPR amenity, indicating broad agent/MLS confirmation and no evidence of a change or correction.
The remarks were searched for references to FLSE passage, fire-safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspections. Although one remark mentions sprinkler systems, that does not establish a passed FLSE. No qualifying evidence was found, so the feature remains false with medium-low 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 overwhelmingly established across the building: 14 of 20 current listings have OCEAN in the MLS view data, with no NONE entries. Numerous independent remarks describe direct, panoramic, unobstructed, or Pacific Ocean views, often alongside lagoon, marina, harbor, or beach views.
Mountain views are confirmed in 6 of 20 current listings, including repeated references to the Ko'olau Mountains and city-and-mountain views. The feature is orientation- or stack-dependent but clearly available in the building.
Diamond Head views are repeatedly confirmed in the remarks. Multiple listings describe 'Diamond Head views' or similar phrases, indicating a legitimate building feature available in some units.
City views are strongly supported in 13 of 20 current listings, with repeated descriptions of "sweeping Honolulu city views," "vibrant cityscape," and "city and mountain views." The references occur across both ocean-side and mountain-side units, supporting city views as an available building feature.
Coastline views are supported by multiple listings and agents, with approximately 9 remarks explicitly mentioning coastline views and 7 of 20 current MLS records marked COASTL. Key descriptions include "world class ocean and coastline views," "Waikiki coastline," and "breathtaking views of the ocean, boat harbor, and coastline," indicating the building offers units with this feature.

Marina views are well supported, with 5 of 20 current listings marked MARCAN and numerous remarks independently referencing the Ala Wai Harbor, boat harbor, yacht harbor, and marina. Key phrases include "direct marina and ocean-view," "panoramic views of ocean, marina," and "stunning marina and ocean views."
Sunrise views are less common but clearly available, appearing in 3 of 20 current listings. Key remarks include "stunning sunrise vistas" and "bright morning sunlight fills the unit," providing explicit support beyond generic view checkboxes.
Sunset views are strongly supported: 7 of 20 current listings are marked SUNSET, and many remarks independently describe nightly or panoramic sunsets. Repeated phrases include "watch nightly sunsets," "stunning sunsets over the marina," and "direct views of Hawaiian sunsets," confirming this as a building-level offering for some units.
No analysis available
Numerous remarks explicitly describe Friday night fireworks visible from units, lanais, balconies, or the building. This satisfies the requirement for a view from the building rather than merely being near the fireworks.

At least 2 listings reference resident management, including 'resident manager's office on site' and 'a dedicated security guard and resident manager.' These remarks directly support the established evidence that the Ilikai has on-site resident management, despite the feature appearing in only 2 of 20 current MLS amenity records.
