Makaha Beach Cabanas
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.

I searched for phrases like '80% owner occupied,' 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied,' but found none. Since there is no explicit percentage or reliable qualitative statement in the remarks, the owner-occupancy rate is unknown.
The public remarks repeatedly reference riding the elevator to access the beach and having elevator access in the building. That is direct evidence the property has an elevator, though the remarks do not state the exact count. Based on the text, at least one elevator is confirmed.

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 this building includes common area electricity/services in the maintenance fee. One current remark explicitly states the fee covers "common area services," which aligns with the historically high MLS pattern (18/20 listings checked OTCOEX). The evidence appears consistent across multiple listings rather than a one-off agent copy.

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
Sewer is included in the maintenance fee with very high confidence. A current listing directly says the fee covers "sewer," matching the historical MLS data where 19 out of 20 listings checked SEWER. This is consistent across the dataset and not dependent on a single remark.
Water is clearly included in the maintenance fee. A current remark explicitly says the fee covers "water," and the historical MLS record shows WATER checked in all 20 of 20 listings. This is extremely strong, consistent evidence across the building's listings.
BBQ is strongly supported across the listing set. Multiple remarks explicitly mention a "BBQ area," "BBQ lounge," and "BBQ evenings," and the historical MLS data shows BBQ checked in all 20/20 listings, which looks consistent rather than copy-paste error.

There is no supporting evidence in the public remarks for a car wash facility, and the feature appears in only 1/20 current MLS listings. With no corroborating description from agents or owners, this looks more like a stray MLS checkbox than a confirmed building feature.

Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported by the public remarks. Well over half of the listings mention a private lanai, balcony, or similar outdoor space, with phrases like "your own lanai," "from your very own beachfront condo," and "morning coffee on your balcony." The repeated references across many listings make this a high-confidence building feature.
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.

I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, and surf storage references. One listing explicitly confirms outdoor kayak/surfboard storage is available, which directly supports this feature.
No analysis available
Trash chute appears to be a real shared building amenity. The current remarks explicitly mention "trash chute," and the historical MLS data shows 13/20 listings checked for it, which is solid supporting evidence even if not every listing mentions it.

I searched for any mention of a swimming pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, or saline pool. There are no such references in the public remarks, and the building context indicates the property does not have 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.
I looked for public remarks indicating coin laundry, paid laundry, laundry fees, or card-operated machines. The listings confirm community laundry exists in the building, but they do not say whether it is paid or free.
I searched the remarks for phrases like "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and similar floor-by-floor references. The listings only mention community laundry in general, not that it exists on every floor, so this remains unconfirmed and treated as not evidenced.
Parking is strongly confirmed across the building. The current MLS data shows 20/20 listings with a parking feature, and remarks in multiple listings explicitly mention parking types such as '1 prkg unit,' 'one open, unassigned parking stall,' and '1 deeded parking' plus guest parking. This looks consistent across many agents and is not just copy-paste noise.

The public remarks clearly indicate included/owned parking. Multiple listings reference parking being included, including one specifically saying "1 deeded parking."
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language such as monthly parking charges, rental costs, or additional parking fees. The remarks mention included parking and guest parking, but no separate parking fee was stated.
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.
Secured-entry parking/access is supported by the current MLS data in 11 of 20 listings and by recurring remarks describing the building as 'gated,' 'secure, gated community,' 'gated property,' and '24/7 security.' The remarks do not always specify the parking stall itself, but the repeated secured-access language across multiple listings supports the feature with good confidence.

No analysis available
I looked for phrases like "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or instructions to join a parking list. No such references appeared in the remarks, so a waitlist is not supported by the public text.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob-based access terms such as keycard entry, electronic access, or card reader. The remarks mention gated access and security systems, but they do not explicitly confirm card-based security.
Security guard service is strongly supported across the listing set: the MLS amenity is present in 20/20 listings, and current remarks repeatedly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 security," and on-site security measures. The wording appears in multiple listings and looks consistent rather than a one-off copy-paste error, so this is very strong building-level evidence.
The listings consistently reference active security presence, including 24/7 or 24-hour security. While the word "patrol" is not always used, these remarks strongly support a security patrol/service presence in the building.

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 strongly supports concrete construction: 15 of 20 listings are explicitly tagged CONCRE. Public remarks across many agents focus on finishes, views, and renovations, and do not contradict the material classification, so the historical MLS signal remains the best evidence. This appears consistent across the dataset rather than a one-off agent copy-paste issue.
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.

I searched for STR-permitting language such as "short-term rental allowed," "STR permitted," "NUC," or similar terms, but found none. References to a vacation home or investment opportunity do not establish that short-term rentals are allowed.
I looked for hotel pool references such as hotel-managed rental programs, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool language, or comparable operations. None were found, and because STR is not supported in the remarks, hotel-pool participation is also false.
I searched for language indicating required participation, no opt-out, or mandatory rental pool enrollment. The remarks contain none of that, so there is no evidence of a mandatory pool program.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for any ground-lease or leasehold expiration language such as a lease end year, extension, or renewal date. The remarks instead repeatedly identify the property as fee simple, so there is no lease expiry year to extract.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted," but found none. The remarks do mention owner financing in multiple places, which is separate from VA financing.
I looked for wording that would indicate the HOA or building has full walls-in insurance coverage, but the remarks do not mention it. There is no public remark evidence to confirm the building is fully insured, so this remains unverified.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life safety evaluation or inspection-pass language such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, or life safety compliant. Nothing in the public remarks confirms this feature, so it cannot be marked true from the available text.

Ocean views are extremely well supported across the building, with virtually every listing referencing them. Examples include "panoramic ocean views," "the Pacific Ocean are your backyard," and "unobstructed ocean views." The MLS data is fully consistent with the remarks, so this is a very strong building-level feature.
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
No analysis available
Coastline/shoreline views appear consistently in the remarks, with explicit wording such as "expansive coastline" and broader references to "coastal living." The MLS data also shows strong support, so this building should be treated as offering coastline views in some units.

Sunset views are repeatedly advertised across multiple listings, with phrases like "golden sunsets," "endless turquoise waters, golden sunsets," and "watch sunsets every night of the year." The frequency across many agents plus the MLS checkbox data makes this a high-confidence feature for the building.
No analysis available
I searched for direct references like "watch fireworks from the lanai" or "see fireworks from the unit." The remarks discuss ocean, sunset, mountain, beach, and wildlife views, but do not mention fireworks views.

There is strong evidence the building has a resident/on-site manager. Historical MLS data shows RESMAN in 16 of 20 listings, and one current remark explicitly says the building has an "on-site resident manager," confirming the feature. This appears to be a consistent building-level amenity rather than a one-off agent error.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
