Kainalu
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.
Kainalu
Building Overview
Kainalu in Diamond Head-Kapahulu-St. Louis — 1958 concrete building with ocean/sunset views and on-site resident manager.
About Kainalu
Based on MLS data, Kainalu is located in the Diamond Head-Kapahulu-St. Louis neighborhood and was built in 1958. The building is constructed of concrete. Size and unit count are not provided in the available MLS information.
Key features reported in MLS records include ocean and sunset views, two elevators, a BBQ area, and a resident manager. Units use split air conditioning systems. The listing indicates the management company is unknown in the available data.
According to available records, parking is available, covered, and assigned. Pets and short-term rentals are not allowed per the MLS data. Buyers should verify all building details, rules, fees, and availability with the listing agent or management, as this description is based solely on MLS-provided information.

The remarks do not provide a percentage or building-level description such as majority or highly owner occupied. The phrase "AGENT/OWNER OCCUPIED" is unit-specific and does not establish overall building owner occupancy, so the value remains unknown.
The public remarks directly confirm that Kainalu has two elevators, including repeated references to "new two elevators." This matches the current building context of two elevators.
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.

Cable TV appears to be a stable building feature. Current MLS data shows 15 of 16 listings with CABTV, and the broader remarks are consistent with fee-inclusive utilities rather than a one-off agent entry, so this looks like a strong building-level inclusion.
There is only moderate MLS support for common-area electricity, and no remarks explicitly confirm it. The checked boxes look more like inconsistent MLS input than a clearly described building feature, so this is not strong enough to treat as included.
No analysis available
Electricity is clearly included in the maintenance fee. The current MLS history is overwhelmingly positive at 15 of 16 listings, and one public remark explicitly confirms it with the phrase 'Monthly fees include electricity,' making this a high-confidence building feature.
No analysis available
Hot water appears to be included in the fees. This is supported by 14 of 16 current listings, no WTRHTR conflict, and a direct remark confirming 'hot water' is included, so the evidence is strong across the building.
Internet is very likely included in the maintenance fee. The current MLS pattern is strong at 13 of 16 listings, and the clearest public remark explicitly confirms internet inclusion, so this looks like a real building-level amenity rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS history. While the public remarks do not usually spell it out, 15 of 16 current listings flag sewer, which is strong enough to treat as a building-level inclusion.
Water is clearly included in the maintenance fee. The MLS history is overwhelmingly consistent at 15 of 16 listings, and the public remarks directly confirm water fees are included, so confidence is very high.

Surfboard storage is directly supported by an explicit listing remark. The building also has beach access and nearby surfing activity, but the storage statement itself is sufficient evidence.
No analysis available
Trash chute is indicated in 11 of 16 current MLS listings via the TRACHU amenity checkbox. No public remarks explicitly confirm a trash chute system, so the evidence appears to come from MLS data rather than agent descriptions. Because the checkbox is present in a majority of listings, it likely reflects a real building feature, but it is not strongly corroborated by remarks.

The public remarks describe ocean swimming areas and beach access rather than a building swimming pool. No saltwater-pool terminology was found.
Laundry in unit is consistently confirmed across the listing set. At least 10+ remarks explicitly mention it, including phrases like "in-unit washer and dryer," "washer/dryer in unit," and "full size washer and full size dryer side by side." This looks like a stable building feature, not a copy-paste checkbox error, because both MLS inclusions and descriptions repeatedly agree.
No analysis available
The listings emphasize in-unit laundry and do not mention shared laundry machines. No references to coins, quarters, laundry fees, or card-operated laundry were found.
The remarks repeatedly mention in-unit washers and dryers but do not describe community laundry facilities. No wording was found indicating laundry availability on every floor.
Parking is clearly offered at Kainalu. Multiple listings mention it directly, including 'covered parking stall,' 'secured parking stall,' '1 parking unit,' and '2 covered and secured parking stalls,' while current MLS data shows 11 of 15 listings with non-NONE parking features. The consistency across different remarks suggests this is a real building amenity rather than a copy-paste checkbox error.
Parking appears to be assigned/reserved at Kainalu. Across the remarks, many listings explicitly reference a specific stall or stalls, including phrases like "covered parking stall," "secured parking stall," and "two covered secured parking stalls," which is consistent with the MLS ASSIGN flag. The evidence is repeated across multiple listings and agents, not just a single copy-pasted remark.
Covered parking is explicitly mentioned in many remarks (appears in ~9 listings) with phrases like 'covered parking stall' and '2 covered and secured parking stalls', and MLS data similarly shows covered parking on the majority of listings—strong multi-agent confirmation.
Several remarks say the unit includes a covered or secured parking stall, and the historical building analysis consistently treated parking as deeded. However, at least one listing says a parking stall is available for rent, so parking arrangements may vary by unit.
No analysis available
The remarks mention covered, secured, included, and rentable parking stalls, but do not provide a monthly parking fee or rental amount. Because no numeric or explicit fee is stated, the parking fee remains unknown.
No analysis available
Security features are described across several listings (appears in ~7 listings) with phrases such as 'secured parking stall', 'gated entry', 'security cameras', and 'secured beach gate'. Combined with MLS checkbox prevalence, evidence is strong that parking/entry is secured at the building.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and instructions to join a parking list. None were found, so the public remarks provide no evidence of a building parking waitlist.
No analysis available
Security-related features are described, including gated access, secured parking, cameras, and an interphone. However, there is no explicit evidence of a card- or fob-based access system.
No analysis available
The listings refer to a resident manager, secure or gated access, secured parking, and security cameras. None of the remarks indicate a security patrol service.
No analysis available
Evidence supports central AC being available in the building, but it is not consistently described across all listings. One remark explicitly says "central air conditioning throughout," while several others only mention split AC, full air conditioning, or generic AC. The pattern suggests some listing data may be copy-pasted or unit-specific, so confidence is moderate rather than high.

No analysis available
Construction is strongly supported as concrete by the MLS pattern: 15 of 16 listings use CONCRE. The public remarks across multiple agents do not repeatedly spell out "concrete," but they consistently describe the same substantial oceanfront high-rise, which aligns with the MLS material data.
Double wall construction is not supported by the remarks: across the provided listings there are no explicit mentions of "double wall," "double-wall construction," or similar structural wording. With only 4 of 16 MLS entries checking DOUWAL, this looks like weak or inconsistent MLS data rather than a confirmed building feature.
No analysis available
3 of 14 current MLS listings mark MASSTU (masonry and stucco). Public remarks for the building contain no explicit references to masonry or stucco, so this is an inferred feature based on a minority of MLS checkboxes. Evidence is moderate-to-low and may reflect some agents marking the checkbox for some units.
No analysis available
Construction slab appears in 6 of 15 current MLS listings, but the public remarks do not mention a slab foundation or similar wording such as "concrete slab". Because the evidence is limited to a minority of listings and there is no remark-level confirmation, this is a moderate-confidence inclusion based on MLS data.

The listings describe Kainalu as a residential cooperative and use residential-lifestyle language, but do not mention NUC, TVU, vacation rentals, short-term rentals, or other STR authorization. No explicit prohibition was found, so this is a low-confidence negative determination based on the absence of supporting remarks.
The remarks were searched for hotel rental pool, Hilton, Trump, Ritz, hotel-managed operations, and similar language. No such references were found, and the STR prerequisite is not supported.
No remarks state that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool, cannot opt out, or are required to place units in a rental program. Because STR and hotel-pool participation are not supported, mandatory pool participation is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks identify the property as fee simple in one listing and as a cooperative apartment corporation in others, but do not state a ground-lease or land-lease expiration year. No renewal or extension year was found.
The remarks were searched for explicit terms such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.
The remarks were searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, and walls-in coverage. No such insurance language was found, so the building's full HOA insurance status cannot be confirmed from the remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire certification, life safety compliance, and passed inspection language. None of these terms or equivalent claims were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building has passed an FLSE.

Ocean views are consistently and explicitly confirmed across the sampled listings. All 16 current MLS entries show OCEAN in the view field, and the remarks repeatedly describe "ocean views," "direct oceanfront," "front-row ocean view," and "unobstructed ocean" views from multiple units and agents. The evidence is strong and consistent, with no contrary remarks or indication this feature changed.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (MLS: 10/14) and many public remarks mention Diamond Head — phrases include "base of Diamond Head", "Diamond Head view to the left", "Diamond Head direct beach/oceanfront", and "prefered 6th floor... stunning ocean and Diamond Head views." The mentions are frequent and from different listings, providing strong evidence the building offers Diamond Head views for some units.

Sunset views are supported by both MLS data and remarks: 8/15 current listings include SUNSET, and several descriptions explicitly mention 'sunset views,' 'sunsets from the comfort of home,' and 'coastal and sunset views.' The evidence appears consistent across multiple agents and is strong enough to include for buyers searching for sunset-view units.
No analysis available
The remarks describe ocean, sunset, coastal, city, and Diamond Head views but do not mention fireworks views. Nearby Waikiki attractions do not establish a fireworks view from the building.

Resident manager appears to be a real building-level feature. Public remarks mention it in at least 3 separate listings, with phrases such as 'a resident manager,' 'resident manager living on site,' and 'On-Site Resident Manager.' The repeated, specific wording across different remarks strongly supports that this is not just copy-paste MLS noise.

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.
