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 mention primary residences, second homes, owner use, owner-cared-for units, and owner-occupant opportunities, but none establishes the percentage of owner-occupied units in the building. No evidence in remarks confirms or denies the current 10.00 value.
The remarks explicitly state that Ilikai Marina has four elevators. This matches the current value of 4 and provides very high-confidence confirmation.
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 AC is explicitly mentioned in many listings, including “Central AC is big plus” and “maintenance fee includes central AC.” Current MLS support is 9 of 20 listings, and remarks from multiple listings confirm the building has central air, though billing for usage and special assessments varies.
Cable TV is included in 13/20 current MLS records. Remarks repeatedly reference cable being covered by the maintenance fee, although several listings state that cable is charged separately, likely reflecting differing fee structures or outdated/copied remarks.
Common-area electricity is indicated by OTCOEX in 15/20 listings. There are few direct remarks about common electric or building power, so the conclusion relies primarily on the strong current MLS pattern rather than explicit agent descriptions.
No analysis available
About 8–12 listings mention electricity as included or note it's billed/invoiced along with the maintenance fee (examples: 'Maintenance fee includes central AC, electricity, hot water, cable and internet', 'Electricity and A/C are sub-metered and invoice every month with maintenance fee'). The evidence is fairly consistent in public remarks but some agent wording about sub-metering introduces ambiguity, so confidence is moderate-high.
No analysis available
Hot water is included in 17/20 current MLS records, and no listings identify unit water heaters. Multiple independent remarks explicitly say the maintenance fee includes hot water, making this a very strong building-level feature.
Internet is included in 12/20 current MLS records. Several remarks explicitly quote "maintenance fee covers cable and internet" or list internet among covered services, while some listings report separate charges, suggesting inconsistent or copied fee descriptions.
No analysis available
Sewer is identified as included in 20/20 current MLS records. Multiple remarks independently list sewer among the services covered by maintenance fees, providing exceptionally strong and consistent evidence.
Water is included in 19/20 current MLS records. Remarks listing the maintenance fee as covering "water" or describing an all-inclusive fee reinforce the strong building-level evidence.

More than 20 current remarks explicitly mention the feature, using phrases such as "private lanai," "spacious lanai," "two private lanais," "covered lanai," "oversized 84 sq ft lanai," and "balcony." The evidence is repeated across many different units and agents, strongly confirming that Ilikai Marina offers patio/deck-type outdoor spaces, primarily lanais and balconies.

Only 2 of 20 current MLS listings include the RECARE amenity flag, and none of the public remarks mention a recreation area (no phrases like 'recreation area', 'rec area', 'amenity deck', or 'recreation space' are present). Given the very sparse MLS flagging and absence in remarks, the evidence for a building recreation area is weak and may be due to agents copying checklist items.
No public remarks across the provided sample mention a recreation/rec/game/multi-purpose room, while only 1 of 20 current MLS listings has the RECROO amenity checked. Evidence indicates the RECROO checkbox is likely erroneous or copy/paste; no corroborating agent remarks were found.
Restaurant evidence is exceptionally strong across multiple listings and agents, with at least 11 of 20 current listings carrying the RESTAU amenity and numerous remarks explicitly describing restaurants at the building. Key phrases include "two on-site restaurants," "three restaurants downstairs," and "three popular restaurants located at the base of the building," making this a confirmed building feature rather than an isolated copy-paste claim.

Only 1 of 20 current listings checks a building storage/extra storage amenity (STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG). None of the public remarks mention storage lockers, and most remarks only reference closets/cabinets or in-unit storage. Evidence is sparse and appears to be a single-agent checkbox rather than consistent confirmation across listings.
The listings frequently discuss surfing and nearby beaches, and one unit includes portable beach gear, but no public remark identifies a dedicated surfboard-storage facility. Searches for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage found no evidence.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported by strong, repeated MLS amenity data, appearing in 13 of 20 current listings. No public remarks mention a "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute," so the evidence is primarily checkbox-based; however, the high historical confidence and broad current consistency support retaining the feature.

Although the building context indicates a pool, the public remarks explicitly deny that the property features one. There is also no evidence identifying the pool as salt water.
One of 20 current MLS listings includes 'WASHER/DRYER' in the inclusions, suggesting at least some units may have in-unit laundry. None of the public remarks explicitly advertise 'washer/dryer in unit' or 'in-unit laundry'; most remarks reference shared facilities. Evidence is therefore limited to a single listing inclusion and appears implied rather than broadly confirmed across agents.
Community laundry is strongly supported across the building: 19 of 20 current MLS listings include COMLAU, consistent with the prior high-confidence conclusion. Multiple remarks explicitly describe shared laundry, including a “laundry room on the 8th floor,” “Washer and dryers are located on the eighth floor,” and “common washer/dryer,” confirming this is a building-wide amenity rather than copy-paste checkbox data.
Laundry facilities are confirmed in the building, but the remarks do not establish that their use requires payment. Searches for coin laundry, paid laundry, laundry fees, card-operated machines, and quarters found no qualifying evidence.
The remarks identify community laundry on the 8th floor, not laundry facilities on every floor. No listing states that laundry is available floor-by-floor.
Parking is explicitly mentioned in well over 20 current remarks from multiple listings, with consistent references to rental parking, covered or secure garage parking, onsite parking, and public parking in or around the building. The evidence strongly confirms that Ilikai Marina offers parking, generally for an additional fee, rather than the feature being a copied MLS checkbox.
Out of ~20 listings, only 1 listing's checkbox indicates 'ASSIGN' but ZERO public remarks explicitly say 'assigned', 'deeded' or 'designated stall'. Multiple listings consistently describe 'parking available for rent', '$150/month', 'covered parking', or 'parking services'—language that implies monthly paid parking rather than reserved/deeded stalls. The evidence across many agent remarks points to rental parking (not assigned), though the single MLS ASSIGN flag creates some uncertainty.
Multiple listings explicitly reference covered/garage parking (e.g., "parking is available in the building garage for a fee", "covered parking is available for $150 per month", "monthly, daily and hourly paid parking in the adjacent covered garage"). Several agents independently note garage/covered options, supporting that covered parking is offered in the building.
Multiple listings explicitly describe parking as rented, paid, hourly, daily, or monthly rather than owned with the unit. No listing states that a parking stall is deeded, included in the deed, or owned by the unit owner.
No analysis available
The most consistently reported monthly parking charge is $150. One listing mentions $115 per month, while others describe hourly, daily, nightly, or unspecified rental rates.
No listings or public remarks mention dedicated guest/visitor parking. While multiple ads confirm paid resident/garage parking and public parking options, there are zero remarks stating 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking'. Given the absence in remarks and isolated MLS checkbox presence (1/20), guest parking is considered not present.
Evidence for secured parking comes from remarks such as “parking is available in the building’s secure garage for an additional fee,” which indicates controlled/secured access to the garage rather than open, unsecured parking. Additional references to 24-hour security and security patrols, plus one MLS entry with SECENT, point to a pattern of secured parking being part of the building’s offering. While not all agents check the SECENT box, the explicit ‘secure garage’ language provides strong support for this feature.

The remarks were searched for “parking waitlist,” “parking waiting list,” or instructions to join a parking waitlist. Listings instead state that parking is available for rent, including monthly, daily, hourly, or covered-garage parking, with no evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
General security is well supported, but no listing describes a card- or fob-based access system. Searches for key card access, fob access, card readers, keycard entry, and electronic access found no qualifying mentions.
At least 7 listings explicitly mention building security, including "24-hour security" in multiple remarks, "24/7 security building," "regular security patrols," and "security patrol." The evidence is repeated across multiple listings and aligns with the strong historical confidence and 16/20 MLS amenity indications, so security guard service should be included.
The remarks explicitly identify regular security patrol service. This is separate from general references to 24-hour security or a security guard.
No analysis available
Central AC is confirmed across many listings, including explicit phrases such as "central A/C," "Central AC is big plus," "central air conditioning," and "maintenance fee includes central AC." Additional remarks reference submetered A/C, AC special assessments, and recently upgraded central AC systems, indicating a building-wide system rather than isolated unit equipment. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, although some descriptions use repeated MLS-style wording.

Zero of the supplied public remarks explicitly mention “concrete construction,” “concrete building,” or “reinforced concrete.” However, 19 of 20 current listings identify CONCRE in the construction materials, providing strong multi-listing support despite the lack of descriptive remarks.
Zero listings explicitly mention “double wall,” “double-wall construction,” or “two walls.” Only 4 of 20 current MLS entries contain the DOUWAL code, which may reflect copied checkbox data rather than verified building construction.
No analysis available
Limited direct evidence in current listings (only 1 of 20 list 'MASSTU') and no public-remark mentions of masonry or stucco. Because historical confidence was High, the feature is retained but with reduced confidence pending stronger current confirmation or an owner/site verification.
None of the provided public remarks mention "steel frame" or "steel frame construction." STEFRA appears in 2 of 20 current listings, while historical data was previously rated high confidence; the limited current frequency and lack of textual confirmation make this evidence weaker than for concrete, but not sufficient to overturn the prior determination.
Limited but real MLS support exists for a concrete slab foundation, with 4 of 20 listings showing SLAB. No public remarks explicitly mention a slab or solid concrete foundation, so the evidence is weaker than for construction material and may reflect incomplete MLS entry rather than broad agent confirmation. Still, because foundation is a building-level feature buyers may search for, it remains included at moderate confidence.

Zero supplied listings mention “above ground construction,” “above ground building,” or “above ground materials.” The ABOGRO code appears in 8 of 20 current MLS records, but the partial support and absence of remarks provide only weak evidence.

There is overwhelming repeated evidence that short-term rentals are legally permitted in the building. Remarks cite legal vacation-rental status, DPP registration, resort zoning, and active short-term rental operations.
The remarks clearly establish that short-term rentals are permitted, satisfying the prerequisite for evaluating hotel-pool participation. However, searches for “hotel rental pool,” “hotel rental program,” hotel management, Hilton pool, Trump pool, or similar language found no qualifying mention.
The remarks provide no evidence that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool. Multiple listings emphasize owner occupancy, second-home use, and the ability to rent flexibly, which is inconsistent with mandatory pool participation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks do not identify the property as leasehold or provide a land-lease expiration date. No applicable four-digit lease-expiry year was found.
The public remarks were searched for explicit references such as “VA approved,” “VA financing,” or “VA loans accepted.” None of those terms or equivalent language appears, so VA loan approval cannot be confirmed.
The remarks were searched for statements that the HOA provides full or comprehensive building insurance and walls-in coverage. The listings discuss maintenance fees, utilities, security, and building improvements, but do not address insurance coverage.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for references to FLSE passage, fire/life safety evaluation approval, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection. No confirming language was found; the mention of planned fire safety enhancements is not evidence that the evaluation has passed.
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 confirmed across many independent listing remarks, including "Pacific Ocean view," "panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean," "expansive ocean, marina and sunset views," and "ocean views from almost every room and lanai." Although some units have mountain, city, or marina-only views, the building clearly offers ocean-view units, making this feature applicable at the building level.
Mountain views are strongly supported across multiple listings and agents. At least 5 of 20 current MLS listings mention mountain views, and the remarks provide numerous direct confirmations such as 'mountain and city views,' 'Koolau mountains,' and 'majestic Waianae mountains,' indicating this is a legitimate building-level feature rather than a single copied remark.
No analysis available
City views are strongly supported across multiple listings and agents. At least 8 of 20 current MLS listings mention city or city-light views, with repeated remarks including 'city-light views,' 'city and mountain views,' 'dynamic city views,' and 'cityscape,' confirming that the building offers units with city views.
Moderately strong evidence for coastline views: historical MLS data lists 7 of 20 with COASTL, and current remarks frequently reference coastal landmarks—'Magic Island', 'Ala Moana Beach Park', 'Hilton Hawaiian Village lagoon', 'watch the surf'—indicating views of coastline/shoreline areas. While agents more often say 'ocean' or 'marina', repeated references to these coastal features across listings provide sufficient, consistent evidence to include view_coastline.
Very limited/no explicit evidence for garden/courtyard/landscaped views in the current remarks (only incidental references to 'tropical greenery' of nearby Magic Island, not explicit 'garden view'). Given historical low occurrence and lack of explicit mentions across listings, the building is not characterized as offering garden views.
No analysis available
Marina views are strongly confirmed: 10 of 20 current MLS records mention MARCAN, and many remarks explicitly state "marina views," "Ala Wai Boat Harbor," "yacht harbor," and "front-row seat to the activity of the Ala Wai Harbor." Multiple units and agents describe boats, sailboats, and harbor panoramas, demonstrating this is a genuine building-level offering.
No evidence supports sunrise/eastern exposure in the current remarks. Across the provided listings there are many references to sunsets, ocean, marina, mountain, and city views but zero mentions of "sunrise", "morning sun", or "eastern exposure". Combined with 0/20 MLS SUNRIS checkboxes, confidence is high that the building does not advertise sunrise views.
Sunset views are repeatedly confirmed: 10 of 20 current MLS records mention SUNSET, while numerous remarks cite "stunning sunsets," "front-row sunsets," "unobstructed sunsets of the Pacific Ocean," and watching sunsets from the lanai. The descriptions occur across many separate units and agents and are reinforced by references to evening views and Friday night fireworks.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that fireworks can be viewed from units, living rooms, balconies, or lanais. The remarks repeatedly describe Friday night fireworks views from the building.

Across the provided remarks, the building is described multiple times with management language, including "a dedicated site manager" and "site manager." While most listings do not mention management at all, the explicit mention in at least one recent remark aligns with the historical RESMAN flag showing up in 12 of 20 MLS records. Overall this supports that Ilikai Marina has an on-site resident/site manager, even if agents do not consistently mention it.
