I searched all remarks for explicit percentages and qualitative owner-occupancy statements (keywords: '% owner', 'owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', 'highly owner occupied') and found none. There is no numeric or reliable qualitative evidence in the public remarks to determine owner-occupancy, so the percentage is unknown.
Multiple listings reference elevator access and riding the elevator to the beach/common areas, confirming the building has at least one elevator. No public remark provides an explicit count (e.g., '4 elevators' or 'four elevators'), so the exact number remains unknown. I searched all remarks for numeric or written elevator counts and found none.

Across many listings for this building, agents describe maintenance fees covering items like water, sewer, and common area services, but never mention cable TV being included. With only 1/20 MLS records checking the cable box and zero textual confirmation, cable TV is very likely not part of the association fee.
Strong evidence that common area electricity/services are included: 18/20 MLS listings historically checked OTCOEX and multiple agent remarks explicitly state 'The monthly maintenance fee covers water, sewer, and common area services.' Building-level amenities (elevator, community laundry, BBQ, 24-hour security) are repeatedly described across listings, indicating consistent, building-wide common services coverage.

Multiple listings (many unit descriptions) clearly describe unit-level hot water heaters—phrases include 'tankless water heater', 'on-demand hot water heater', and 'new tankless water heater'—indicating hot water is supplied by in-unit equipment and not covered by the maintenance fee. This consistent unit-level hot water evidence across agents supports excluding hot water from HOA-included services.
Remarks across numerous listings go into detail on what the maintenance fee covers but do not mention internet or Wi-Fi being included. With only a minority of MLS records checking the internet box and consistent historical evidence against it, internet service is very likely not part of the association fee.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that sewer is included: 19/20 MLS listings historically listed SEWER in association_fee_includes, and agent remarks explicitly state 'maintenance fee covers ... sewer.' Multiple agents across listings repeat this inclusion, indicating building-level sewer coverage in the HOA fee.
Very strong evidence water is included: all 20 MLS entries historically showed WATER checked and agent remarks explicitly say 'The monthly maintenance fee covers water.' This consistent, explicit language across multiple listings and agents supports high confidence that water is included in the maintenance fee.
Strong evidence that the building offers BBQ facilities: historical MLS data flagged BBQ in all listings (20/20), and multiple current public remarks explicitly mention a shared "BBQ area" or "BBQ lounge" (e.g., "BBQ area", "bbq lounge also area re done", "BBQ area —ideal"). This appears consistently across listings and is likely a true, building-level amenity rather than isolated copy/paste.

Many of the provided listings (well over half) explicitly mention lanais or balconies, such as “enjoy panoramic ocean views from your private lanai” and “spacious lanai overlooking one of the most gorgeous beaches imaginable.” These repeated references across different floors and towers show that Makaha Beach Cabanas units commonly include lanai/deck-style outdoor spaces. Combined with MLS patio/deck checkboxes on 7 of 20 listings, this strongly supports tagging the building as offering patio/deck amenities.
Across all provided remarks, there are no mentions of an on-site jogging or walking path, only off-site 'nature trails' and hiking in the surrounding area. With just 1/20 MLS entries checking this box and no descriptive support, it is very unlikely the building offers a dedicated jogging path.

Public remarks explicitly confirm surfboard (and kayak) storage is available (noting it can be for an extra cost), indicating dedicated surfboard storage facilities exist in the building.
No analysis available
Evidence supports that the building has a trash chute: historical MLS checkbox data shows 13/20 listings marked "trash chute," and the public remarks explicitly state the building offers a "trash chute" ("...offers community laundry, BBQ area, trash chute, on-site resident manager..."). While fewer remarks mention it than BBQ, the combination of historical checkbox prevalence and an explicit remark yields high confidence.

There are no references to a pool or a saltwater pool in the public remarks. Given the building context indicates no pool, I retain false but note there is no separate remark explicitly denying a pool.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence: 19 of 20 current listings have the COMLAU amenity checked and several agent remarks explicitly state the building “offers community laundry.” The phrasing appears across multiple listings (likely copied by agents), and historical data already rated this feature as High confidence, so the building is very likely to have shared/community laundry facilities.
Public remarks confirm community laundry exists but do not indicate whether it is paid or free. I searched for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card', and 'paid laundry' and found no evidence.
Listings repeatedly mention community laundry in the building but none state that laundry facilities are available on every floor. I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on every floor', 'laundry room on each floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found no such statements.
All 20 current MLS listings indicate parking (parking_features include OPEN/CO/GARAGE/ASSIGN etc.). Public remarks repeatedly reference parking: examples include '1 prkg', 'one open, unassigned parking stall', and '1 deeded parking'. Evidence is consistent across many agent listings and MLS checkbox data, giving strong confidence that the building has parking.

Several public remarks explicitly reference included or deeded parking stalls (both '1 deeded parking' and 'one open, unassigned parking stall is included' appear), supporting that parking is provided with the unit.
No analysis available
Searched for phrases like 'monthly parking fee', 'parking rental', or specific dollar amounts for parking. Found none; many remarks instead reference included or deeded parking.
11 of 20 current MLS listings include the GUEST parking feature and several remarks explicitly state 'guest parking' or 'plenty of guest parking'. Multiple agent listings confirm guest parking availability, supporting a high confidence that the building offers guest parking.
11 of 20 MLS records include a secured-entry parking flag and numerous remarks reference gated or secured property access—phrases include 'gated entrance', 'secure, gated community', and '24-hour security'—providing multiple-agent corroboration that parking access is secured.

Looked for terms such as 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', or instructions to join a waitlist; no references were found, so a waitlist is unlikely based on remarks.
No analysis available
Listings describe upgraded security systems and gated access but include no explicit mention of card/fob/keycard access. I searched for 'key card access', 'fob', 'card reader', and similar terms and found none.
All 20 MLS listings include the security-guard amenity and multiple remarks explicitly reference staffed or round-the-clock security, with quotes like “Makaha Beach Cabanas has 24/7 security” and “New 24 hour security and onsite management.” Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and appears to be strongly confirmed, not just a single copy/paste instance.
Listings consistently describe 24/7 or 24-hour security and onsite management, supporting that the building has active security/patrol presence. I found multiple explicit statements confirming around-the-clock security.

Building offers window/in-room A/C in at least some units: 6 of 20 recent MLS entries have ACWIUN checked and one public remark explicitly notes “an AC unit in bedroom and ceiling fans.” Many other listings mention ceiling fans and ocean breezes but not central A/C, suggesting some units have window/wall units while others rely on fans. Evidence is moderate across multiple listings and agents (likely some units include window/wall A/C).
MLS construction_materials data is strongly in favor of concrete construction, with 15 of 20 active listings explicitly tagged as CONCRE. The numerous public remarks focus on oceanfront location, renovations, and building upgrades but never suggest a different structural type, so the existing conclusion that Makaha Beach Cabanas is a concrete building remains well supported.
No listings' public remarks mention 'double wall' or similar phrasing (0/30 remarks). Current MLS checkbox data shows DOUWAL checked on 9/20 listings, but agent remarks provide no corroboration and may reflect copy-paste checkbox usage rather than an actual building feature. Given the lack of any explicit mention across multiple agent descriptions, the feature is omitted pending owner/site-visit verification.

None of the public remarks reference 'concrete slab', 'slab foundation', or similar (0/30 remarks). Current MLS checkbox counts list SLAB on 7/20 entries, but agent remarks provide no supporting detail and may be the result of checkbox copy-paste. Without explicit mentions or owner/site-visit verification, the building is not being asserted to have a slab foundation.

Six of 20 current MLS listings mark ABOGRO for this building, and the remarks consistently describe a multi-story beachfront condo with floors accessed by elevator and direct beach access at ground level, with no mention of subterranean or earth-sheltered construction. Given typical construction for 1960s Hawaii condo towers and the repeated ABOGRO selections, it is reasonable to classify the building as above-ground construction despite some agents leaving the field blank.

Searched remarks for STR-permitting language and found none. Many listings market the units as vacation-ready or fully furnished, but there is no explicit evidence that STRs are permitted.
Because public remarks contain no references to a hotel-managed rental pool or hotel operations, and STR allowance is not indicated, hotel pool participation is considered false.
No public remarks indicate any mandatory rental-pool participation; in addition, STRs are not indicated, so mandatory pool participation is false.

Multiple listings explicitly describe the property as fee simple, so no land lease expiry applies. Returned null for lease expiry year.
Searched all remarks for explicit VA language (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found none. Owner/ seller financing is mentioned several times, but no VA program references.
I searched the public remarks for explicit insurance coverage language (keywords: 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', 'fully covered insurance', 'comprehensive building insurance') and found no references. With no explicit statement in the remarks and no user verification, this field is set to false with medium-low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit FLSE/fire & life safety certification language (keywords: 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', 'life safety compliant', 'passed fire inspection') and found no references. Because there is no explicit mention and no user verification, the feature is set to false with medium-low confidence.

Strong evidence across the provided remarks: virtually every listing section references ocean or Pacific Ocean views (e.g., "Pacific Ocean are your backyard", "panoramic ocean views", "oceanfront living"). At least 20 listing excerpts in the combined remarks explicitly mention ocean or oceanfront; multiple agents independently describe unobstructed ocean vistas, so the building clearly offers ocean-view units.
Multiple listing excerpts mention mountain views and specific peaks (e.g., "Mount Lahilahi", "Waianae mountain range", "mountain range"). At least 10–15 of the listing sections reference mountain or mauka-facing views, with independent agents noting both ocean and mountain panoramas, supporting that some units offer mountain views.

No analysis available
Numerous listings explicitly reference coastline/shoreline or "forever views of coastline" and emphasize direct access to the white sandy beach (e.g., "forever views of coastline, ocean", "white sandy beach", "direct beach access"). At least 12–20 listing excerpts include coastline or beach/shoreline language, showing multiple units provide coastline views.

Sunset views are repeatedly advertised across the remarks (e.g., "golden sunsets", "soak in the endless turquoise waters, golden sunsets", "unobstructed sunset views"). At least 20 listing excerpts reference sunsets or west-facing/evening views, often alongside ocean-view language, indicating strong and consistent evidence that the building offers sunset-view units.
No analysis available
Remarks describe ocean, sunset, mountain, and wildlife views but contain no statements such as 'watch fireworks from lanai' or 'see fireworks from unit.' I searched for 'fireworks', 'lanai fireworks', and related phrases and found none.

Strong evidence that the building has a resident/on-site manager: MLS checkbox historically set in 16 of 20 listings, and multiple current remarks explicitly state 'on-site resident manager' or 'onsite management' (e.g., 'on-site resident manager', 'new 24 hour security and onsite management'). The mentions are consistent across different listings and agents, supporting a high-confidence true value.
