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.
Building Features & Data Confidence

No analysis available
Two penthouse listings are on floor 8, and the county assessor reports 8 floors; the sparse lower-floor listings do not contradict this.
The county assessor's reconciled residential-unit count is 59, matching the stored value; the county's 61-unit dwell sum is set aside because reconciled units are the preferred figure.
The remarks do not provide a numeric owner-occupancy percentage or phrases such as majority or highly owner occupied. Because owner occupancy is a numeric field and no reliable building-level figure is stated, the value remains unknown.
Multiple listings directly confirm that Kainalu has 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 confirmed in the public remarks. The building's beach access and nearby surf breaks provide additional context but are not needed to establish this feature.
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 remarks refer to ocean swimming areas and a beach outside the building, not a property pool. No saltwater-pool terminology appears.
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
Remarks emphasize in-unit washers and dryers rather than shared laundry machines. There is no evidence that community laundry exists or requires payment.
The listings consistently mention private in-unit laundry, but do not describe shared community laundry facilities. No evidence supports 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.
Multiple listings mention covered, secured, or included parking stalls, while one says the parking stall is available for rent. However, none explicitly state that a parking stall is deeded with the unit, so deeded parking is not established from the remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks mention covered, secured, included, and rentable parking stalls. They do not provide a monthly parking charge, rental amount, or other specific parking fee.
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 do not indicate that the building has a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
The building has several described security measures, but none specifically establish card or fob access. Gated entry and an interphone are not sufficient evidence of a card-access system.
No analysis available
Listings mention a resident manager, gated or secured access, secured parking, and security cameras. They do not indicate any 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 emphasize residential living, but do not mention short-term rentals, NUC, TVU, vacation-rental approval, or a specific minimum rental period. Based on the absence of an explicit allowance, STR is not supported by the public remarks.
The remarks were searched for hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, Hilton, Trump, Ritz, hotel-managed operations, and similar terms. No such references were found, and STR is not established as allowed.
No remarks state that owners must participate in a hotel pool, must place units in a rental program, or cannot opt out. Because STR is not established as allowed, mandatory hotel-pool participation is also false.

No analysis available
The remarks describe the property as fee simple and as a cooperative apartment corporation, but do not state a ground lease or leasehold expiration. No specific lease-expiry year or renewal year was found.
The remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval, VA financing, or VA loans being accepted. None were found, so there is no public-remark evidence that the building is VA loan approved.
The remarks were searched for explicit statements that the HOA provides full or walls-in insurance coverage, but none was found. The absence of insurance language does not establish that the building is uninsured or inadequately insured.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for explicit fire/life safety evaluation and inspection language, but none was found. This does not prove the building failed or lacks compliance; it only indicates no public-remarks evidence of passage.

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 listings describe ocean, sunset, coastal, city, mountain, and Diamond Head views. They do not establish a fireworks view from the residences.

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.
