Remarks focus on renovations, amenities, security, marina access, and nearby shopping but do not discuss the mix of owners versus renters. Searched for any percentages or descriptions such as 'owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', or 'high owner occupancy' with no results, so the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.
Listings describe this as a 6-story, gated, resort-style complex with many amenities but never reference elevators or how many there are. Searched for terms like 'elevator', 'elevators', and counts (e.g., '2 elevators', 'four elevators') with no results. Without explicit statements, the elevator count remains unknown.

Across recent listings in this building, 15 of 20 units mark OTCOEX in the association_fee_includes field, indicating that common-area operating costs (including common-area electricity) are covered by the maintenance fee. Remarks that break down owner-paid utilities only mention in-unit electric, not separate charges for common-area power, so this appears to be a consistent building policy rather than agent error.
No analysis available
Although 2/20 current MLS listings check electricity in the association-fee-includes field, multiple remarks explicitly indicate that electricity is NOT part of the AOAO dues. One listing states, "Included in AOAO dues are ... water, trash, and chill water for central AC," while another clarifies, "A/C chill water system. Owner pays for electric," strongly implying electricity is billed separately to owners.
No analysis available
All recent listings indicate individual water heaters (WTRHTR) and none mark HOTWAT as an included association utility, which is strong evidence that hot water is not provided by the building. One agent explicitly lists what AOAO dues cover—'water, trash, and chill water for central AC'—and omits hot water, confirming that hot water is not included in the maintenance fee.

Most listings (16 of 20) show WATER as part of association_fee_includes, and at least one agent explicitly notes that AOAO dues cover 'water, trash, and chill water for central AC.' Other remarks only highlight separate sewer and marina charges, supporting that domestic water service is indeed included in the HOA fees for this building.
BBQ facilities are repeatedly highlighted across well over 15 listings with phrases like “clubhouse with BBQ areas,” “BBQ area,” “BBQ areas,” “Cabana & BBQ,” and “clubhouse with BBQ facilities.” The wording varies by agent, indicating it’s a real, well‑known shared amenity rather than a copied checkbox. Historical data already had high confidence and current MLS data (20/20) fully supports this.

Car wash facilities are clearly advertised in several remarks: “car wash area,” “car wash station,” “BBQ, clubhouse, rec area, car wash,” and “path along the waterfront, car wash, clubhouse.” The repeated, specific mention across different listings, together with 15/20 MLS checkboxes and prior high confidence, confirms a shared car wash amenity for residents.
The clubhouse is prominently featured in numerous remarks: “clubhouse with BBQ areas,” “clubhouse with kitchen and barbecues,” “pool, jacuzzi and a clubhouse with BBQ,” and “clubhouse, rec area, car wash,” among others. These consistent, detailed references from multiple agents, plus 16/20 MLS checks, confirm a shared clubhouse/community facility for residents.

Several listings describe a clubhouse or party/recreation room, often with a kitchen, indicating a dedicated indoor gathering space suitable for meetings and events. Combined with MLS entries explicitly flagging a meeting-room amenity, this supports that the building has a common meeting/community room.
Multiple listings for Kalele Kai prominently feature large lanais or balconies, using phrases like “covered lanai,” “wrap around lanai,” “expansive 683 SF lanai,” and “huge covered lanai,” often with exact square footages (e.g., 263–683 SF). At least a strong majority of the provided remarks describe significant private outdoor spaces attached to units, aligning with 14/20 current MLS records flagging patio/covered patio amenities. This consistent, detailed evidence across many different listings confirms that the building offers patio/deck-style outdoor living areas to its residents.
Several listings note on-site paths with phrases like “walking paths,” “walking/jogging paths,” “walking/jogging friendly pathways through lush landscaping,” “exercise pathways,” and “meandering garden pathways.” These independently written descriptions indicate intentional walking/jogging paths within the project, matching the WAJOPA amenity in current MLS data.

Across these listings, at least three different remarks describe a shared indoor recreation space, using phrases like “recreation room,” “clubhouse, rec area,” and “party room” among the amenities. Additional listings repeatedly reference a clubhouse with kitchen and BBQs, reinforcing the presence of a multi-purpose indoor amenity space. Because these descriptions appear in independent agent remarks rather than just copied checkbox data, the evidence strongly supports that the building offers a recreation room–type facility.

Evidence from current MLS data indicates that 7 of 20 listings flag STORAG in unit_features, implying that at least some Kalele Kai units include dedicated extra storage (e.g., storage rooms or similar spaces) rather than it being a building-wide amenity checkbox. Remarks referencing a 'large laundry/storage room,' 'additional storage,' and 'Lots of storage!' support the presence of extra storage associated with certain units. While not universally advertised across all listings, the repeated unit-level storage indications from multiple agents suggest buyers can find units in this building that include extra storage space.
Looked for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and 'surf storage' and none are present. Water-related amenities focus on docks and marina access rather than specific surfboard storage.
No analysis available
While public remarks do not explicitly say “trash chute,” the majority of MLS entries (17/20) check the trash chute amenity for this 1990s high‑rise/mid‑rise style project. Given the building’s age, configuration, and consistent MLS treatment across many agents, it is very likely that a shared trash chute system serves the units. There is no conflicting evidence to suggest this amenity is absent or has been removed.

Listings consistently promote hydrotherapy amenities: “heated pool, whirlpool spa,” “swimming pool with whirlpool spa,” “sparkling pool, whirlpool spa,” “spa/whirlpool,” “pool, jacuzzi,” and “pool and hot tub.” These varied yet consistent references from many agents, plus strong MLS support, confirm a shared whirlpool/hot tub spa at the complex.
Multiple listings for Kalele Kai consistently describe a shared pool, with phrases like 'sparkling pool', 'resort-style pool', and 'swimming pool with whirlpool spa.' Current MLS data (20/20 listings) also flags a pool amenity, confirming this is a long-standing, well-documented building feature. Evidence is strong across many different units and agents, not just copy-paste from one listing.
At least 5–6 separate listings by different agents clearly describe a 'heated pool' among the building’s resort-style amenities, alongside whirlpool/spa and BBQ areas. MLS checkbox data (HEAPOO in 9/20 listings) further supports that the pool is heated rather than this being one-off language. The repeated, explicit 'heated pool' wording across many years and units indicates a genuine, building-wide heated pool feature.
Searched for 'saltwater pool', 'salt water pool', 'saline', and similar phrases and found none. In the absence of explicit wording, the pool is assumed not to be a saltwater pool.
Current and past listings consistently confirm in‑unit laundry at Kalele Kai. At least five separate remarks mention features like a “dedicated laundry room,” “separate laundry room,” and “large laundry/storage room,” all of which clearly indicate in‑unit washer/dryer. Combined with 19 of 20 current MLS entries including washer/dryer, this feature is strongly verified across multiple agents and time periods.
No analysis available
Searched for terms like coin-op, card-op, paid laundry, and laundry fee and found none. The focus on in-unit laundry strongly suggests there is no paid community laundry system being advertised.
Listings consistently describe private in-unit laundry rooms, implying laundry is handled within units rather than via shared facilities. No phrases such as 'laundry on every floor' or 'community laundry on each floor' appear in the remarks.
No analysis available
Multiple independent listings describe assigned or reserved stalls, including phrases like 'Assigned parking is yours with ample guest parking,' 'Assigned side by side parking stalls guarantee convenience,' and '2 assigned covered parking stalls.' Current MLS data shows 14 of 20 listings checking an assigned/reserved parking feature, consistent with these remarks. Evidence is strong across various units and agents, not just a single copy‑pasted description.
Numerous listings independently refer to covered parking, e.g., 'two side-by-side covered parking stalls,' '2-covd parking,' '2 standard sized covered side by side parking stalls,' and '2 covered parking stalls conveniently located on the ground floor of the parking garage.' MLS checkbox data shows 20 of 20 listings with a covered/garage indicator. The consistency and detail across agents support covered parking as a core building feature.
Text was reviewed for terms like 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', or 'parking included in deed'. While there are clear references to 'deeded boat slips', there is no such language for parking stalls, so parking is assumed not deeded based on current remarks.
No analysis available
Remarks were searched for a monthly parking cost or any statement that parking is rented separately. Since no parking fee is mentioned, any such fee remains unknown.
Several listings explicitly highlight guest parking, including 'ample guest parking,' 'Lots of guest parking for family and friends to visit,' and 'an ample 31 guest parking stalls ensure hassle-free entertaining.' These detailed references come from different remarks, indicating genuine on-site guest parking rather than a single copied phrase. Current MLS data with multiple GUEST checks aligns with these descriptions.
Many remarks emphasize security and controlled access, using phrases like 'Gated entry,' 'Kalele Kai offers 24/7 gated security,' 'the project has secured entry,' 'secured entrance,' 'Secured gated entry into the project,' and 'gated main entry, & fob entry to each building.' The community and its parking appear to sit behind these gates and controlled entries. Combined with MLS SECENT checkmarks, the evidence strongly supports secured parking entry as a stable building feature.

All remarks were checked for indications that residents must join a waitlist to get parking. With no references to a waitlist system, the building is treated as not using a formal parking waitlist based on current information.
No analysis available
The project clearly uses fob-based building entry in addition to a gated main entry. This strongly supports the presence of a card/fob access security system.
Several independent listings describe Kalele Kai as having “24/7 gated security” or “24/7 security,” and one unit’s remarks list a “security guard” along with other building amenities. Additional listings reference “Security and on site management” and “excellent security” in a gated, fob‑entry project, reinforcing that staffed security is a core feature rather than agent copy‑paste. Combined with 15 of 20 current MLS records checking SECGUA and prior high confidence data, there is strong, consistent evidence that the building provides on‑site security guard service.
Multiple listings describe round-the-clock security and a security guard, consistent with an active security patrol/service. No remarks suggest that security is limited to passive systems only.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is clearly a core building feature at Kalele Kai. At least ten separate listings explicitly mention “central AC” or “Central A/C,” and one specifies that AOAO dues cover “chill water for central AC,” confirming a shared building HVAC system. Combined with 20/20 current MLS checkbox entries and strong historical evidence, central air can be treated as a reliable, building-wide amenity.

Across the current dataset, 19 of 20 MLS listings report CONCRE in the construction_materials field, strongly indicating reinforced concrete construction. While public remarks focus on amenities and views rather than structure, nothing suggests a change away from concrete, and a midrise 1993 marina-front complex in Hawaii Kai would normally be concrete-built. Taken together, the MLS data and building type support maintaining concrete construction as a confirmed feature.

Remarks were reviewed for language such as 'short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', or minimum-stay rules. The only direct comment distances the offering from vacation rentals, and there is no positive evidence of STR activity, so STR is treated as not allowed.
Listings were checked for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', or brand-managed operations. None appear, and given that STR is not indicated as allowed, participation in a hotel rental pool is considered not present.
Remarks were analyzed for statements like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'must be in rental program', or limitations on owner use due to a required rental pool. No such language appears, so a mandatory hotel pool is ruled out.

Remarks were checked for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'ground lease ends', or any leasehold expiration year. None were found, so the land lease expiry year (if any) remains unknown.
All listing remarks were scanned for indications of VA loan acceptance or building-level VA approval. None mention VA financing, so the building is treated as not VA-approved based on available information.
The listings discuss AOAO dues, included utilities (water, trash, AC chill water), marina and sewer fees, and amenities, but never describe the scope of HOA insurance. Searched for 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'comprehensive building insurance', and 'walls-in coverage' and found no references, so full insurance cannot be confirmed from remarks.
Fire sprinklers are repeatedly and explicitly mentioned in current remarks: several listings describe 'gated entry, fire sprinklers' and one states the building is 'fully equipped with fire sprinklers.' Another amenity list includes 'fire sprinkler' directly, and 16/20 current MLS records have FIRSPR checked, confirming this is a consistent building feature across listings and agents.
Multiple listings note that the building is equipped with fire sprinklers and emphasize security, but none mention a formal fire/life safety evaluation, certification, or inspection having been passed. Searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' with no matches, so this is assumed not documented in the remarks.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple listings describe direct or partial ocean views, including phrases like “evening sunsets… above the ocean & marina” and “fantastic views of the ocean.” Another unit notes a “peek-a-boo ocean view,” indicating higher floors or particular stacks have this exposure. Combined with 3/20 MLS view tags, this shows the building offers ocean-view units across different agents and listings.
Mountain views are repeatedly highlighted across many listings, including phrases such as 'fantastic views of the ocean, mountain and sunset,' 'sweeping mountain views,' and 'lovely mountain views.' Both corner and penthouse units emphasize these vistas, indicating that mountain-facing views are a significant, recurring attribute of this building rather than a one-off feature.
At least two separate listings call out Diamond Head views, including “Diamond Head silhouetted in the distance” and “a stunning sightline of Diamond Head.” With 2/20 MLS records also marking Diamond Head views, there is clear, consistent evidence that select stacks or floors in this building offer Diamond Head vistas.
No analysis available
Despite detailed view descriptions—marina, ocean, mountains, Koko Head, and Diamond Head—none of the many remarks use terms like “coastline,” “shoreline,” or “coastal view.” With 0/20 MLS records indicating coastline views and no textual support, there is strong evidence that coastline views are not a notable feature of this building.
Multiple units advertise direct garden or courtyard exposure with phrases like 'garden, mountain, pool, and marina views,' 'peaceful garden, mountain, and marina views,' and a lanai 'overlooking the marina, garden, & pool.' The project’s repeated emphasis on lush, landscaped grounds and garden pathways further supports that garden-facing views are a recurring feature available in this building.
No analysis available
Marina orientation is a defining characteristic: listings describe 'marina-front community,' 'marina views from the airy living room,' and 'spectacular views of Hawaii Kai marina and Koko Head.' Multiple different units (including corner, penthouse, and garden homes) mention marina views, confirming that buyers can find marina-view options throughout this project.
No analysis available
Several units highlight sunset orientation, including quotes like “evening sunsets… above the ocean & marina,” “fantastic views of the… sunset,” and “an oasis of relaxation, offering the perfect spot to enjoy spectacular sunsets!” These appear in at least three distinct listings plus 2/20 MLS tags, indicating a consistent west-facing or sunset-capable exposure in parts of the building.
No analysis available
Listings highlight scenic and sunset views but do not reference watching Friday night fireworks from lanais or units. The lack of any fireworks-related view language indicates this is not a promoted feature.

Several current listings explicitly mention an on-site resident manager, using variations like 'on-site resident manager,' 'on-site res mgr,' and 'resident manager,' while others reference an on-site management office and on-site management staff. With 20/20 MLS entries showing RESMAN and consistent wording across many agents, there is very strong evidence the building has an on-site resident manager.
