Association_fee_includes contains OTCOEX in 11 of 20 recent listings, suggesting many agents are explicitly marking common-area electricity as included. Multiple remarks note that electricity is sub-metered for units without mentioning separate common-area power charges, implying common electricity is paid through maintenance fees. No remarks contradict this or state that common-area electricity is excluded.

Current MLS data for this building shows HOTWAT checked in 13 of 20 listings, with zero listings indicating individual water heaters (WTRHTR). Remarks discuss building-wide plumbing and repiping but never reference in-unit water heaters, supporting that hot water is centrally supplied and included in maintenance fees.

Sewer is included in the HOA for 18 of 20 listings per association_fee_includes, indicating near-universal agent agreement. One public remark clearly notes "water, and sewer included," and other remarks reference wastewater loan/special assessments, reinforcing that sewer service is paid via the maintenance fee.
Water is marked as included in the HOA in 19 of 20 MLS listings, showing very strong consistency across agents. One remark specifically says "water, and sewer included," and several others highlight low maintenance fees without mentioning separate water billing, all supporting that water is covered by the maintenance fee.

At least 4 listings explicitly mention a shared deck amenity, using phrases like “swimming pool deck” and “pool and large recreational deck on the fourth floor,” indicating a common recreation/pool deck area for residents. Combined with 7/20 MLS entries checking PATDEC/COVPAT, this provides strong, multi-agent evidence that the building offers a deck-style outdoor amenity accessible to residents.

Several remarks reference a shared recreation area, e.g. 'The pool and large recreation deck are located on the 4th floor' and 'a pool and large recreational deck on the fourth floor overlooking Diamond Head Crater.' At least 4 separate listings describe this amenity deck plus the MLS data (11/20 with RECARE) aligns, indicating a common recreation area for residents.

Multiple agents independently highlight surfboard storage as a building amenity, including a dedicated storage cage on the first floor. This strongly confirms that surfboard storage is provided.
No analysis available
Remarks consistently state 'laundry room with trash chute on every floor,' 'efficient coin laundry and trash chute on each floor,' and 'swimming pool and trash chute on property.' This repeated, specific phrasing across many listings and full MLS agreement strongly confirms a building-wide trash chute system.

The building clearly has a shared swimming pool. At least 7–8 separate listings mention it directly, using language such as “sparkling pool,” “swimming pool deck,” and “a pool and large recreational deck on the fourth floor,” which aligns with 20/20 MLS entries showing a pool amenity. These consistent, detailed references across multiple agents indicate a reliable, well-established building feature.
No analysis available
Agents frequently highlight the pool but do not identify it as saltwater, which they typically would if it were a selling point. Given repeated generic pool descriptions and no saltwater references, the pool is likely not saltwater.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that Kapiolani Terrace has shared laundry, often phrased as “laundry room on each floor,” “community laundry for each floor,” or “coin laundry…on each floor.” Combined with 18 out of 20 MLS entries checking the community laundry amenity, this provides strong, consistent evidence from multiple agents that the building offers community laundry facilities. Buyers can reliably expect floor-level shared laundry in this building.
The laundry is repeatedly described as coin or coin-operated, indicating that residents must pay per use. No listing describes it as free or included without payment.
Listings consistently describe laundry facilities on every floor, using nearly identical phrasing across multiple agents. This strongly confirms that community laundry is available on each floor of the building.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state assigned parking, including phrases like “covered, secured, assigned parking stall,” “1 assigned parking stall inside the building garage,” and “One assigned, secured and covered parking stall.” With 17/20 MLS records flagging assigned parking plus repeated, detailed mentions from different agents, there is strong evidence that parking in this building is assigned where available.
Numerous remarks mention covered or garage parking, including “Covered parking on the 1st floor in a secured gated garage,” “includes 1 covered parking stall,” and “1 covered, secure parking space on ground floor level.” Combined with 17/20 MLS entries flagging covered or garage parking, this strongly supports that the building offers covered parking stalls.
Multiple listings mention 'assigned covered parking stall', 'covered, secured, assigned parking stall', and '1 assigned parking stall inside the building garage'. However, none use terms like 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', or 'parking included in the deed'. Due to lack of explicit deeded/ownership language, deeded parking cannot be confirmed from remarks.
No analysis available
Remarks repeatedly state that units include an assigned or covered stall but do not indicate any additional monthly cost specifically for parking. Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional parking cost', and 'parking rental' with no matches. The presence or absence of a separate parking fee cannot be determined from the text.

Listings consistently state that units come with an assigned or covered parking stall and also mention nearby street parking, but never mention a waiting list process. Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', and similar phrases without finding any. This suggests no publicly advertised waitlist system in the remarks.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly describe fob-based access for the building and elevator. This clearly establishes the presence of a card/fob access security system.
No analysis available
Security features appear to be cameras, controlled access, and on-site management rather than active patrols. Since no listing mentions patrol or roving security, it is likely that there is no formal security patrol service.

All 20 of 20 current MLS listings tag the building’s construction_materials as CONCRE, with no conflicting descriptions. The property is a high-rise Honolulu condominium that has passed a fire and life safety evaluation, which is typical for reinforced concrete construction, so concrete construction is very likely accurate and consistent across listings.

The building is described as ideal for first-time homebuyers, investors, and city living, but there are no mentions of nightly rentals, 'vacation rental', 'short-term rental', NUC/TVU, or minimum-night requirements. Searched for 'short-term', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', 'NUC', and 'TVU' and found nothing. In the absence of explicit STR language, short-term rental allowance is not supported by the remarks.
The property is consistently described as a condominium with residential amenities (pool, resident manager, laundry) and no references to any hotel management or rental pool program. Searched for 'hotel pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel', 'rental pool', and brand-managed pools with no occurrences. Given the lack of STR indications and hotel language, participation in a hotel rental pool is not supported.
Remarks emphasize owner and investor flexibility but never state that owners must join a rental or hotel pool, nor that participation is mandatory. Searched for 'mandatory pool', 'required to participate', 'must be in rental program', and 'cannot opt out' with no matches. With no evidence of any rental pool at all, mandatory participation can be ruled out based on current remarks.

The remarks do not mention leasehold status, land lease terms, or any lease expiry year (e.g., 'lease expires 2050'). Phrases like 'fee simple', 'leasehold', 'ground lease', or specific years tied to lease expiry are absent. Without explicit evidence, the lease expiry year cannot be determined.
Remarks repeatedly target first-time buyers and investors but never reference VA eligibility or VA loan acceptance. Searched for 'VA', 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and similar phrases and found none. In the absence of explicit statements, VA approval is assumed not indicated in public remarks.
The phrase 'fully insured' strongly indicates comprehensive building insurance provided by the HOA, reinforced by mentions of 100% hurricane coverage. No remarks contradict this, so the building is treated as fully insured by the HOA.
No analysis available
There are repeated, explicit statements that Kapiolani Terrace has passed the FLSE fire and life safety evaluation. This provides definitive evidence that the building has passed its fire/life safety evaluation.

Review of 20 recent listings shows 0/20 with 'SUNSET' in the MLS view description and 1/20 explicitly marked as having no view. Remarks highlight city, Diamond Head, and mauka (mountain) side orientations, but never mention sunset, western exposure, or fireworks. With no textual or structured-data evidence that any units offer notable sunset views, this building is not being marketed as having sunset-view units.
No analysis available
The listings focus on city, mountain, and location convenience but do not reference any fireworks views. In the absence of any such mention, it is likely there is no notable fireworks view from this building.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly mention a resident manager, including phrases like 'on-site resident manager', 'a resident manager', and 'building is secure with a resident manager on site'. Combined with 19 out of 20 current MLS listings checking this amenity, this strongly indicates that Kapiolani Terrace has an on-site resident manager. The consistency across several different agents and listings suggests this is a well-established building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
