Keola Lai
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.

Searched the public remarks for explicit statements of owner-occupancy percentage or similar descriptors and found none. Owner-occupancy is a numeric field and without explicit evidence the value remains unknown rather than assumed.
Searched the public remarks for explicit counts or mentions of elevators (e.g., '4 elevators', 'multiple elevators', 'four elevators') and found none. Because elevators is a numeric field and there is no explicit evidence in the remarks, the value is left unknown rather than guessed.
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.

Multiple agent remarks (at least 3+ distinct listing remarks) explicitly state common area electricity is billed separately: "Common Area Electricity is now billed separately" and "Electricity for common area is separately billed to each owner, and not included in the maintenance fee." While 10/20 MLS checkboxes indicate OTCOEX, the repeated explicit remarks across listings strongly indicate common-area electric is not included rather than newly added.

Only 1 of 20 current listings shows HOTWAT in association_fee_includes while 15 of 20 list WTRHTR in inclusions. Public remarks repeatedly reference unit water heaters (for example, "A/C and Hot Water Heater were replaced recently!") and no remarks claim building-supplied or HOA-included hot water. Evidence across many listings and agents indicates hot water is provided by unit water heaters, so maintenance likely does not include hot water.

MLS association_fee_includes lists SEWER in 19 of 20 current listings, and public remarks do not contradict this. Given the strong, consistent MLS checkbox presence across listings and absence of remarks saying sewer is billed separately, the building is reported as including sewer in maintenance fees.
MLS association_fee_includes lists WATER in 19 of 20 current listings. Although remarks mention the building's water conservation efforts, none explicitly state that water is billed separately. The consistent MLS checkbox presence across listings supports that water is included in maintenance fees.
Very strong and consistent evidence: all 20 MLS entries list BBQ and multiple remarks specifically call out 'BBQ area', 'BBQ cabanas', or 'outdoor kitchen' (e.g., 'BBQ area', 'BBQ cabanas', 'outdoor kitchen, BBQ and eating area'), showing this is a common, building-level amenity promoted by multiple agents.

Strong evidence across listings: 19 of 20 MLS entries list an exercise room and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'fitness center', 'exercise room', or 'gym' (e.g., 'fitness center', 'fully-equipped gym', 'fitness center with brand new equipment'), indicating a building-level fitness amenity widely advertised by different agents.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Building-level outdoor spaces are consistently mentioned across listings: at least 8+ remarks explicitly reference lanais or outdoor amenity decks (quotes include 'private lanai', 'spacious lanai', and 'largest and most usable 116 sq. ft. lanai'), and several listings note outdoor BBQ areas and amenity decks. MLS checkbox data also shows 7/20 listings with PATDEC/COVPAT, and the evidence comes from multiple agents' remarks rather than a single copy/paste source, supporting inclusion of patio/deck as a building feature.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: 14 of 20 MLS entries list a recreation area and several remarks reference 'rec area', 'recreation deck', or 'amenity/recreation deck' (e.g., 'amenity deck', 'rec area'), indicating a shared recreation space is offered though mentions are fewer and may reflect variable phrasing by agents.

I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and related phrases and found explicit references (e.g., 'bike/surfboard storage', 'bike and surfboard storage') indicating the building provides storage for surfboards.
No analysis available
MLS-wide checkbox support (19/20) indicates a likely trash chute, but there are no explicit mentions in public remarks across listings. Because agents commonly copy/paste checkboxes, confidence is moderate rather than high; further verification (management/owner confirmation or property documentation) is recommended.

Good evidence: 14 of 20 MLS entries list whirlpool and numerous listings explicitly mention 'whirlpool', 'spa', 'jacuzzi', or 'pool & spa' (e.g., 'whirlpool spa', 'Jacuzzi', 'pool & spa'), supporting inclusion as a building amenity.
All 20 MLS listings have pool amenities checked and multiple agent remarks describe resort-style amenities including "pool," "swimming pool," "pool & spa," and "resort-style amenities including a swimming pool." Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents (not a single remark contradicts), supporting high confidence that the building has a pool.
At least six MLS entries include HEAPOO and several public remarks explicitly say "heated pool," "large heated pool," and "heated lap-pool," (e.g., "Keola Lai has phenomenal amenities: large heated pool" and "Resort-like amenities include heated lap-pool"). This repeated explicit mention across multiple listings gives moderately strong evidence that the building's pool is heated.
I searched for terms like 'salt water pool' or 'saltwater' and found only references to heated pool, lap pool, and whirlpool/spa. There is no text indicating the pool is salt water.
All 20 current listings list WASHER/DRYER in inclusions and numerous agent remarks explicitly mention in-unit laundry (e.g., 'in-unit washer/dryer', 'washer/dryer in unit', 'Stack Washer & Dryer', 'separate walk-in laundry room'). Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents (some language appears copy-pasted), giving strong confidence that some units in the building have in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
I looked for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'paid laundry', 'card operated', or 'quarters'. None of the public remarks reference shared laundry requiring payment; instead, listings emphasize in-unit laundry or walk-in laundry rooms within units.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Listings consistently mention in-unit washer/dryer or unit laundry facilities (e.g., 'in-unit washer/dryer'), but no text indicates community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
15 of 20 MLS records list assigned parking and many remarks state "includes 2 parking stalls" or explicitly "assigned" (one remark: "two assigned-tandem stalls"). Multiple agents independently list unit parking as belonging to the unit rather than generic guest-only stalls, supporting inclusion of assigned parking at the building level.
17 of 20 MLS records show covered/garage parking and many remarks explicitly say "2 covered parking stalls," "covered end parking stalls in the secured garage," or "covered parking stall," indicating covered/enclosed parking is a building feature across multiple listings.
Listings repeatedly mention assigned, covered, tandem, and two parking stalls, but none explicitly state 'deeded' or 'owned parking' in the deed. Absence of the specific wording means we cannot confirm deeded status from the public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for references to parking fees, monthly parking charges, or rental costs for parking. The remarks describe assigned stalls, guest parking, and EV charging but do not state any monthly parking fee, so the parking fee (if any) is unknown.
17 of 20 MLS entries include guest parking and multiple remarks call out "guest parking," "ample guest parking stalls (23)," and "plenty of guest parking," showing the building provides visitor parking separate from unit stalls.
10 of 20 MLS records list secured-entry parking and many remarks reference "secured building and parking," "24-hour security," and "security on patrol," suggesting parking access is controlled and secure across the property, though specifics (gate/card) are not always detailed.
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 looked for phrases indicating a waitlist or queue for resident parking. The remarks reference guest parking and assigned stalls but do not mention any waitlist system, so there is no evidence a waitlist exists in the public remarks.
No analysis available
I looked for phrases such as 'key card access', 'fob access', or 'card reader'. The building is repeatedly described as secured with 24-hour security and on-site guards, but there is no explicit evidence of card/fob entry systems in the public remarks.
Strong corroborating evidence: MLS amenities checkbox SECGUA is set on 17 of 20 current listings and multiple agent remarks explicitly state '24-hour security', 'on-site security guard', 'security on patrol', and 'secured building'. These phrases appear across many different listings/agents (not limited to a single duplicate), indicating building-level staffed security is a real amenity. Confidence is high given both the checkbox prevalence and repeated explicit mentions in the public remarks.
I searched the remarks for 'security patrol', 'roving security', 'patrol service' and found clear mentions of on-site security staff and patrols. Given the repeated explicit statements (e.g., '24-hour security and on-site security guard', 'security on patrol'), this is assessed true with high confidence.

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.

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.

I searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'STR', '30-day minimum', 'NUC/TVU', and similar terms. The remarks do not address STR policy, so based on the absence of any mention we conclude STRs are not indicated as allowed in the public remarks.
I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or references to hotel-managed rentals. There is no evidence of hotel rental pool participation in the public remarks, and because STRs are not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation is set to false.
I looked for language like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out' but found none. With no evidence of a hotel pool or STR allowance, there is no indication of a mandatory rental pool program in the public remarks.

I searched the remarks for terms like 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'leasehold', and explicit years (e.g., 2050). There is no information about land tenure or a lease expiry year in the provided public remarks, so the expiry year is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly reference an assumable VA loan and give VA loan interest rates, indicating the building/unit participates in VA financing. This is direct evidence in the public remarks that VA financing is available/accepted.
The public remarks explicitly state the building is 'fully insured', indicating walls-in/full building insurance coverage by the HOA. This explicit language yields high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', or 'passed fire inspection' and found no explicit statement. While the building is described as having fire sprinklers, there is no explicit FLSE/inspection pass noted in the public remarks, so set to false with medium confidence due to absence of any statement.

Multiple listings (CURRENT MLS: 7/20) explicitly mention ocean views, with repeated phrases such as "ocean views" and "ocean, city, and mountain views" appearing across agent remarks. Evidence is strong and consistent across different listings/agents, indicating the building offers units with ocean views.
Multiple listings (CURRENT MLS: 7/20) explicitly reference mountain/mauka views with phrases like "mountain views", "Mauka to Makai views", and "Koolau" appearing in agent remarks. The mentions are repeated across listings and support that the building offers mountain-view units.
No analysis available
Several listings (CURRENT MLS: 8/20) explicitly mention city views with phrases such as "city views", "panoramic city views", and "city, Harbor, ocean, mountain & sunset" appearing across multiple agent remarks. The consistent multi-listing evidence indicates the building offers city-view units.

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 searched for explicit phrases like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. The remarks describe ocean, harbor, mountain and sunset views but do not claim fireworks can be viewed from the building or units.
No analysis available
17 of 20 current MLS listings list RESMAN in amenities. Several listings explicitly state "dedicated on-site manager" and "resident manager," and many others reference "24-hour security" or "on-site security guard," indicating consistent agent reporting of on-site management across multiple listings rather than a single copy/paste error.
