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.

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.

No analysis available

Owner Occupancy
Low

I searched for a percentage or building-wide statement such as "80% owner occupied" or "majority owner occupied," but found none. The only related wording is a single listing noting one unit as "agent/owner occupied," which does not establish the overall owner-occupancy rate.

Elevators
2
High

The remarks directly state there are two elevators in the building, which matches the current building context. Multiple listings also reference elevator access, reinforcing this count.

Association Fee Low
$1,053
High

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

Association Fee High
$4,335
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
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Common
No
Medium

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.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Internet
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

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.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

One listing directly states that the building has bicycle and surfboard storage. That is clear public-remark evidence that surfboard storage is available.

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
Medium

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.

Valet
No

Wall Fence
No

Pool Heated
No

No analysis available

Pool Salt
No
High

I searched for references to a pool and specifically for salt water pool wording such as "saltwater pool" or "saline pool." The remarks do not mention any pool at all, so there is no support for a saltwater pool feature.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

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.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

I looked for references to coin laundry, quarters, card-operated machines, laundry fees, or other paid laundry language. The listings instead emphasize in-unit washer/dryer convenience, so there is no evidence of paid community laundry.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

I searched for wording like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar phrases. The remarks repeatedly mention in-unit washer/dryer instead, which does not support community laundry on every floor.

Parking
Yes
High

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 Assigned
Yes
High

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.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

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.

Parking Deeded
No
High

I searched for explicit deeded/owned-parking wording like 'deeded parking,' 'owned stall,' or 'parking included in deed' and found none. The available remarks describe secured, covered stalls and one listing notes a stall is available for rent, which points away from deeded parking.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

I looked for a parking fee, monthly parking charge, or any dollar amount tied to parking and found none. One remark says 'Parking Stall available for rent,' but it does not state the monthly rent.

Parking Guest
No

No analysis available

Parking Secured Entry
Yes
High

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.

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

I searched for 'parking waitlist,' 'waiting list,' and similar terms and found no references. The remarks do not indicate a formal waitlist system for parking.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

No analysis available

Security Card
No
Low

I looked for card/fob access terms such as keycard entry, electronic access, or card readers. The building is described as secured, but the public remarks do not explicitly indicate a card-based access system.

Security Guard
No

No analysis available

Security Patrol
No
Low

I searched for any wording suggesting patrol service or roving security. The remarks mention a resident manager, cameras, and gated/secured access, but nothing about an active security patrol.

Security Video
No

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes
Medium

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.

Split AC
Yes

No analysis available

Window AC
No

No analysis available

Concrete
Yes
High

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
No
High

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.

Hollow Tile
No

No analysis available

Masonry/Stucco
Yes
Medium

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.

Steel Frame
No

No analysis available

Slab
Yes
Medium

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.

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No

Above Ground

Brick

Single Wall
No

STR Allowed
No
Low

I searched for short-term rental language such as 'STR permitted,' 'vacation rental allowed,' 'NUC,' 'TVU,' or similar references and found none. There is also no hotel-pool language in the remarks, so STR allowance is not evidenced.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

I looked for hotel rental pool, hotel-managed, or brand-pool language like Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool and found nothing. Because there is no evidence that STR is allowed, this must remain false.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
Low

I searched for wording like mandatory pool, required participation, cannot opt out, or must rent through a program and found no such language. With no STR/hotel-pool evidence, there is also no basis for a mandatory pool.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

I looked for any ground-lease, leasehold, lease expiry, or renewal language such as 'lease expires 2050' or 'ground lease ends' and found nothing. The remarks instead describe the building as a co-op / fee simple context, but they do not provide a lease expiry year.

Financing V A
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-loan language such as 'VA approved,' 'VA financing,' and 'VA loans accepted' and found none. With no public-remarks evidence, this is best treated as not indicated.

Insured Fully
No
Low

I looked for HOA insurance language indicating full or walls-in coverage, but the remarks do not mention it. Since insurance coverage is not described in the listings, there is no basis to mark the building as fully insured.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

I searched the public remarks for explicit fire/life safety compliance language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection, and found none. With no affirmative evidence in the listings, this cannot be verified from the remarks.

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)
X

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

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.

View: Mountain
No

No analysis available

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

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.

View: City
Yes

No analysis available

View: Coastline
Yes

View: Garden
No

View: Golf Course
No

View: Marina
No

No analysis available

View: Sunrise
No

No analysis available

View: Sunset
Yes
High

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.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No
Low

I searched for phrases like "fireworks view," "watch fireworks from," and "see fireworks from the lanai/unit." The remarks discuss ocean, surf, sunsets, and Diamond Head views, but nothing indicates a view of Friday night fireworks.

Frontage Type
Ocean

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

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.

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.
