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.

I searched for owner-occupancy indicators like "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied," but found no such statements. With no explicit occupancy percentage or descriptor in the remarks, this remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator counts or phrases like "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators," but found no references. Since there is no remark-based evidence, the number of elevators remains unknown.

Cable TV inclusion is supported by both MLS data and public remarks. One listing explicitly states "Cable TV & Internet included in Maintenance," and the broader MLS pattern shows CABTV checked in 13 of 20 listings. This looks like a real building-level fee inclusion rather than a one-off agent error.
Common area electricity appears to be included in many, but not all, current listings. The strongest positive remark says the fee covers a portion of shared common area electric, while another listing explicitly says common area electricity is billed separately, suggesting inconsistent reporting or changing billing treatment. Overall the MLS pattern still supports inclusion at the building level with moderate confidence.

There is strong evidence that hot water is not included in the maintenance fee. None of the current MLS entries list HOTWAT, while most show WTRHTR or similar unit-level hot water heater references. Public remarks align with this pattern, including a note that the "A/C and Hot Water Heater were replaced recently," which points to in-unit equipment rather than building-supplied hot water.
Internet inclusion is strongly supported by the MLS and remarks. The MLS shows INTSER in 15 of 20 current listings, and one remark explicitly confirms internet is included in maintenance, with WiFi available in the lobby, mezzanine, and recreation deck. This is consistent with a building amenity rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Sewer is consistently included across the current MLS set. All 20 of 20 listings show SEWER in association fee inclusions, and the public remarks do not contradict that pattern. Confidence is very high that this is a building-level included expense.
Water is included in maintenance fees across the entire current MLS sample. Every listing shows WATER in association fee inclusions, and there are no remarks suggesting otherwise. This is highly consistent and should be treated as a confirmed building-level inclusion.
BBQ facilities are supported by near-universal evidence. Listings repeatedly reference 'BBQ area,' 'BBQ cabanas,' 'BBQ grills,' 'outdoor BBQ areas,' and even 'outdoor kitchen,' indicating a shared building amenity rather than a one-off unit feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash facilities appear to exist despite weaker MLS checkbox support. One or more listings explicitly mention a 'car wash area,' which is enough to include the feature because it is a building-level amenity buyers may search for.

Strong evidence across many listings supports an exercise room/fitness center. Multiple remarks explicitly say 'fitness center,' 'full gym downstairs,' 'exercise room,' and 'gym,' and the wording appears across different agents rather than a single copy-paste source.

Strong evidence across multiple listings that Keola La'i offers building-level outdoor spaces: at least a dozen remarks reference lanais or shared outdoor amenities, e.g., "private lanai," "spacious lanai area," "BBQ areas/BBQ cabanas," and "amenity deck that features a spacious pool, BBQ grills." Historical data already rated this feature High; current remarks from diverse listings/agents consistently confirm it, indicating the building does offer patios/decks.

There is moderate-to-strong support for a recreation area. Several remarks mention 'recreation area,' 'rec area,' and 'amenity deck,' including one that says the amenity deck has the pool, BBQ grills, and gym, which suggests a shared common recreation space.

I searched for surfboard storage and related phrases. Multiple listings directly mention "bike/surfboard storage," which is clear evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported primarily by strong MLS prevalence rather than public remarks. With 19 of 20 listings showing the amenity, this is very likely a standard building feature even though agents did not describe it in the remarks.

Whirlpool/spa amenities are strongly supported. Multiple listings reference 'whirlpool spa,' 'whirlpool,' 'Jacuzzi,' and 'pool & spa,' showing consistent confirmation across different public remarks.
Pool is strongly supported by both historical MLS data and current remarks. Across many listings, agents describe resort-style amenities with a pool, including explicit phrases like 'swimming pool,' 'sparkling pool & whirlpool spa,' 'heated pool,' and 'heated lap-pool.' The evidence is consistent across multiple listings/agents and does not look like a single copy-paste anomaly.
Multiple listings (at least 6 of 20) and several remarks explicitly reference heating: phrases include "heated pool", "large heated pool", and "heated lap-pool." The heated designation appears in multiple agents' remarks and in MLS HEAPOO checkboxes, supporting inclusion of a heated pool as a building amenity.
I looked for "salt water pool," "saltwater pool," and similar wording. The amenities repeatedly mention a pool, heated pool, and whirlpool/spa, but there is no public evidence that the pool is saltwater.
Strong building-level evidence supports in-unit laundry. The current MLS data shows washer/dryer in the inclusions for 20/20 listings, and numerous agent remarks confirm it with phrases like 'in-unit washer and dryer,' 'in-unit washer/dryer,' and 'Stack Washer & Dryer.' This appears consistent across many listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
No analysis available
I searched for references to coin laundry, paid laundry, card-operated machines, and laundry fees. The remarks instead emphasize in-unit washer/dryer, so there is no public evidence of paid community laundry.
I looked for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar wording. The remarks only mention in-unit washer/dryer or a separate laundry room in a unit, not shared laundry facilities on every floor.
All 20 MLS records include parking features and numerous public remarks repeatedly state unit-level parking (e.g., "2 parking spaces", "Two parking stalls", "2 covered parking stall unit"). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and MLS checkbox data, indicating building parking is available.
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across many listings, with repeated remarks describing "2 side by side parking," "2 parking spaces," "2 individual parking stalls," and "assigned-tandem stalls." This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error, matching the strong MLS history (16/20).
Covered parking is clearly present in the building. Multiple listings explicitly reference covered stalls, a secured garage, or an enclosed garage, and the MLS history is overwhelming (18/20).
I looked for explicit terms like "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed." The listings only describe the number and type of stalls, so deeded parking is not supported by the public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for monthly parking charges, parking rental, additional parking cost, or any numeric parking fee. The remarks only discuss parking availability and stall count, not a separate fee.
Guest parking is a recurring building feature, not just an isolated listing note. Remarks mention "ample guest parking," "lots of guest parking stalls," and even "23" guest stalls, aligning with the strong MLS pattern (17/20).
Secured parking/entry is well supported, though slightly less universal than covered or guest parking. Multiple listings describe the building as secured, reference 24-hour security or security staff, and specifically call out a "secured parking garage" or "protected parking garage," consistent with the MLS data.
4 of 20 MLS records list tandem and remarks include explicit phrases like "two assigned-tandem stalls for the unit," but other listings state "side-by-side" or "non-tandem," so tandem parking exists for some units (not all), supported by multiple agent remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for "parking waitlist," "waiting list," and similar phrasing. The listings mention ample guest parking and assigned stalls, but nothing indicates a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob-access phrases such as "key card access" and "keycard entry." The remarks describe the building as secure with 24-hour security and a protected garage, but they do not indicate a card-based access system.
Security guard service is strongly supported across the listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention '24-hour security,' 'on-site security guard,' 'security team,' and 'security on patrol,' which aligns with the historical MLS SECGUA checkbox appearing in 17 of 20 listings. This looks like a genuine building feature confirmed by several agents, not a one-off copy-paste artifact.
The remarks explicitly state that the building has security on patrol, along with 24-hour security and a security team. This is direct public evidence of patrol service.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported for this building. Multiple current listings explicitly mention 'central AC' or a 'new central AC system,' and the historical MLS data shows it in the majority of listings (12/20 unit features; 18/20 inclusions). This looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off or copy-paste error.
3 of 20 current MLS listings list ACSPL in inclusions, suggesting some units may have split/ductless AC. However, none of the public remarks mention 'split', 'mini-split', or 'ductless', while many ads state 'central A/C' or 'central AC'; evidence is limited to a few MLS checkbox entries across different listings and appears uncertain, so further owner/manager verification is recommended.
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS data: 17 of 20 current listings identify the building with CONCRE. Public remarks across many listings do not explicitly mention concrete, but there is broad, repeated building-level consistency and no signs of a correction or change.
Only 6 of 20 MLS listings have double-wall (DOUWAL) checked and none of the public remarks mention "double wall" or similar. This sparse, inconsistent MLS tagging and lack of textual confirmation suggests double-wall construction is not reliably documented for the building.
No analysis available
5 of 20 current MLS listings include the MASSTU construction code, but zero public remarks reference 'masonry' or 'stucco'. The evidence is weak and inconsistent across listings; include the feature with low confidence because some listings indicate it in MLS checkboxes despite no supporting language in agent remarks.
5 of 20 current MLS listings include the STEFRA construction code, but zero public remarks mention 'steel frame' or similar phrasing. The evidence is weak and appears inconsistent across agents (likely copy/paste); include the feature with low confidence because some listings' checkboxes report it despite lack of supporting remarks.
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings list a concrete slab (SLAB) and public remarks make no reference to a "concrete slab" or similar foundation. The very low occurrence and lack of textual confirmation indicate slab foundation is not reliably supported by available remarks.

I looked for short-term rental terms such as STR, vacation rental, NUC/TVU, 30-day minimum, or owner-occupant restrictions. The public remarks do not address rental policy, so STR allowance is not supported.
I searched for hotel rental pool, managed-by-hotel, Hilton/Trump/Ritz-style pool references, and found none. Because the remarks do not show a short-term rental program, this is set false.
I looked for language indicating mandatory participation, no opt-out, or required rental program enrollment. The remarks contain no such references, so mandatory pool participation is not supported.

I searched for leasehold language such as "lease expires," "ground lease," "leasehold," and any 4-digit expiry year, but found nothing. The remarks do not provide any land tenure or lease expiry information.
Public remarks explicitly mention VA financing and an assumable VA loan, which is strong evidence the building/units support VA-related financing. This is directly stated in multiple listings, so confidence is very high.
The remarks directly state that "The building is fully insured," which is strong evidence of full HOA building insurance / walls-in coverage. This is explicit and repeated in the listing remarks, so confidence is very high.
The evidence supports fire sprinklers as a building feature. Current remarks explicitly mention the property as a "newer property with sprinklers," and the historical MLS data was already high confidence, with several listings checked for FIRSPR and agent remarks referencing sprinklers/fire sprinklers.
I looked for fire/life safety evaluation language such as "FLSE passed," "passed fire inspection," "fire safety certified," or similar wording, but none appeared in the remarks. The only related mention was "fire sprinklers," which does not confirm a passed evaluation.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong building-level evidence supports ocean views. At least 13 of 20 current listings mention ocean in the view descriptions, and multiple remarks use phrases like "sweeping ocean, city, and mountain views," "breathtaking ocean views," and "panoramic ocean, harbor, mountain, and city views." The consistency across many listings suggests this is not just copy-paste error.
Mountain views are well supported at the building level. Current MLS data shows 14 of 20 listings with mountain-related view descriptions, and public remarks repeatedly mention "mountain views," "sweeping ocean to mountain views," and "panoramic Mauka to Makai views." This appears to be a genuine building feature available in multiple units.
No analysis available
City views are strongly confirmed across the building. Current MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings with city-related view descriptions, and remarks frequently mention "city views," "panoramic city views," and "urban living" with downtown Honolulu vistas. The volume and consistency of references indicate this is a real and common building feature.

No listings (CURRENT MLS: 0/20) or public remarks mention cemetery or overlooks cemetery; phrases like "cemetery view" do not appear. Given the complete lack of references across multiple listings, there is high confidence the building does not offer cemetery views.
I looked for language such as "fireworks view," "watch fireworks from lanai," or "see fireworks from unit." The remarks mention ocean, city, harbor, and mountain views, but nothing about fireworks visibility from the building.
No analysis available
Resident manager is clearly supported. The historical MLS data is very strong, with 18/20 current listings showing RESMAN, and a public remark explicitly lists a "resident manager" among the amenities, indicating this is a real building-level feature rather than a copy-paste error.
