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 looked for explicit owner-occupancy indicators such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied." One listing says a unit served as the owner's personal residence and was never rented, but that is unit-specific and not enough to infer building-wide owner occupancy.
I searched the remarks for an explicit count such as "2 elevators," "multiple elevators," or similar wording, but none appeared. The listings confirm elevator access, so keeping the current value of 1 is appropriate, with low confidence because the remarks do not confirm the exact number.

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.
Common area electricity/services are strongly supported at the building level. Current MLS data shows OTCOEX in 18 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks describe shared building systems and common-area improvements, which aligns with maintenance fees covering common area power. The evidence is consistent across listings and not limited to a single agent description.

Hot water is not supported as a maintenance-fee inclusion for this building. Only 1 of 20 current listings shows HOTWAT, while many remarks explicitly mention a tankless or on-demand water heater, including phrases like 'tankless water heater' and 'on-demand hot water heater.' That pattern strongly suggests the building does not supply hot water through the HOA fee.
Internet inclusion is only moderately supported by the MLS checkbox data, with 7/20 listings indicating it. None of the remarks explicitly say internet or Wi‑Fi is included, so this looks more like sparse MLS coding than clearly repeated agent confirmation.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is effectively confirmed across the building. Current MLS data shows SEWER in all 20 of 20 listings, making this one of the strongest features in the dataset. There is no meaningful conflicting evidence in the remarks.
Water inclusion is confirmed across the building. Every current listing shows WATER in association_fee_includes, and the remarks do not present any conflicting evidence. This is a highly reliable building-level feature.
BBQ/grilling facilities are very strongly supported as a shared building amenity. Current remarks mention it in many listings, including phrases like "BBQ area," "new BBQ areas," and "common areas, such as the BBQ area," which looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

There is no supporting evidence in the public remarks for a car wash / auto wash amenity. The feature appears in only 2/20 current MLS listings and is not reinforced by the listing descriptions, so it should be treated as absent for the building.

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.

The public remarks explicitly mention surfboard storage, including "outdoor kayak/surfboard storage." This is direct evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities, though one listing notes it may cost extra.
No analysis available
Trash chute is well supported as a building amenity. Current remarks explicitly mention a "trash chute," and the historical MLS data also shows it in 16/20 listings, which makes this a strong building-level feature.

Across the provided remarks, there are zero explicit mentions of a pool, lap pool, plunge pool, heated pool, or resort pool. The only current evidence is a weak MLS amenity indicator in 1 of 20 listings, while the remarks focus on beach access, BBQ areas, security, and renovations instead. This pattern suggests the pool checkbox is likely inaccurate rather than a verified building feature.
No analysis available
I searched for any reference to a swimming pool, especially a saltwater or saline pool, and found none. The current building context also says pool=False, which aligns with the absence of pool references in the remarks.
No analysis available
Community laundry is strongly supported for this building. Historical MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings with COMLAU enabled, and current remarks explicitly mention "laundry facilities" in the building. The repeated checkbox pattern across many listings suggests a genuine shared laundry amenity, not just isolated agent input.
I looked for any public remarks indicating paid community laundry, such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, or laundry fees, but found nothing. The listings reference laundry facilities in general, not whether they require payment.
I searched for language like "laundry on every floor," "laundry room on each floor," or similar floor-by-floor access, but found none. The remarks only mention laundry facilities generally, including one listing that says upcoming improvements include "laundry facilities," which does not confirm every-floor availability.
Parking is strongly confirmed across the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention parking, including 'one open, unassigned parking stall is included,' '1 prkg unit,' and '1 deeded parking,' while others also reference guest parking. The evidence is consistent across many remarks and aligns with the current MLS parking_features data showing 20/20 listings with parking-related codes.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks include direct evidence of owned parking, including the phrase "1 deeded parking." That is strong confirmation that parking is deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for any mention of parking costs, rental charges, or additional monthly parking fees, but found none. The remarks discuss parking only as included/deeded or as guest parking, not as a paid monthly fee.
Guest parking is supported by both MLS checkbox data and listing remarks. At least a few listings explicitly reference guest parking, including phrasing like 'guest parking' and 'plenty of guest parking', which suggests the feature is genuinely available in the building.
Secured-entry parking/access is strongly supported by both current MLS data and recurring remarks. Multiple listings describe the building as gated or secured, and newer remarks add details such as facial and license plate recognition, making this feature highly credible.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for language such as "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or instructions to join a parking queue. Nothing in the remarks suggests parking is handled through a waitlist.
No analysis available
The listings explicitly describe card/fob-style controlled access, including a transition from key fobs to facial and license plate recognition entry. That is strong evidence the building has an electronic security access system.
Security guard/service is strongly supported for this building. Multiple current remarks explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "security patrol," and a "new security system" with facial/license-plate recognition, consistent with the prior MLS history showing 19/20 listings with SECGUA. The evidence appears broad across multiple agents and listings, not just copy-paste from a single source.
I found explicit references to security patrol and 24-hour security service in the remarks. That directly supports the presence of patrol-based security at the building.

Evidence supports window air conditioning in at least some units in the building. The clearest public remark says the unit has an "AC unit in bedroom," and the current MLS data has ACWIUN included in 8 of 20 recent listings. Most other remarks do not mention AC, which suggests the checkbox may be inconsistently copied rather than universally described, but the available evidence is enough to include the feature.
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS history for this building: 15 of 20 listings currently show CONCRE in construction_materials. Public remarks across many agents repeatedly describe the same oceanfront condo building, and there is no contrary evidence suggesting a different construction type. This appears to be a stable building-level feature rather than a copy-paste error.
No public remarks explicitly mention double-wall construction, but the MLS continues to show 8/20 listings marked for DOUWAL. Because this feature is a building-level construction attribute and the historical confidence was already high, the checkbox pattern is enough to keep it included. The remarks look heavily copy-pasted around oceanfront marketing, so the absence of mention is not strong evidence against it.
Hollow tile appears in a minority of the MLS history, with 4/20 listings tagged HOLTIL. Because the public remarks do not describe hollow tile construction and instead emphasize renovations and building upgrades, this looks like tentative MLS evidence rather than well-confirmed building documentation.

No analysis available
No public remarks reference a concrete slab foundation or similar wording. Because the MLS checkbox still appears on 6/20 listings, but the historical confidence was low and the remarks are silent, the evidence is weak and likely reflects copy-paste MLS data rather than verified building construction.

The remarks repeatedly describe the property as a multi-story beachfront tower with 5th-, 7th-, 9th-, and top-floor units served by elevators. That pattern supports an above-ground building classification, though the evidence is mostly implied rather than explicitly stated. This is a moderate-confidence feature rather than a direct textual confirmation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for short-term rental indicators such as STR permitted, vacation rental allowed, TVU/NUC, or hotel-style rental language. None were found, and there is no public remark showing that short-term rentals are allowed in this building.
I looked for hotel pool references like Hilton, Trump, Ritz, managed rental program language, or similar hotel operation terms. None appear in the remarks, so there is no evidence of a hotel rental pool.
I searched for wording such as mandatory participation, cannot opt out, or required rental program enrollment. The remarks contain no such language, so mandatory pool participation is not supported.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I looked for leasehold wording, ground lease end dates, and any lease extension or expiry year. The listings instead repeatedly identify the building/unit as fee simple, so there is no lease expiration year to extract.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted," but found nothing. Based on the available public remarks, there is no evidence this building is VA-approved.
I searched the remarks for insurance-related wording that would indicate the HOA provides full or walls-in coverage. There was no discussion of building insurance coverage at all, so this cannot be confirmed from the listings.
No analysis available
I looked for phrases like "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," and "passed fire inspection." The remarks mention spalling work, security upgrades, and other building improvements, but nothing that directly indicates a fire/life safety compliance pass.

Ocean views are overwhelmingly supported across the remarks, with nearly every listing explicitly saying things like 'oceanfront living,' 'panoramic ocean views,' 'views of the Pacific Ocean,' and 'water view.' The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, so this appears to be a stable building-level feature rather than copy-paste error.
Mountain views are well supported by both MLS history and multiple remarks. Listings reference "mountain views," "Wai'anae mountain range," "mountain and valley," and similar phrasing, including some units that pair ocean and mountain views. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and not just copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Coastline views are supported by the MLS history and by several remarks using phrases like "coastal views," "coastal living," and "scenic Waianae Coast." While not every listing uses the exact word coastline, the recurring coastal/frontage language across the listings is strong evidence. This appears to be a genuine building-level view attribute.

Sunset views are strongly and repeatedly marketed in the public remarks, with many listings explicitly promising 'sunsets from your lanai' or 'watch sunsets every night of the year.' The feature appears across numerous independent listings, which supports it as a real and common building amenity.
No analysis available
I searched for direct statements that residents can see fireworks from the building or from their units, but found no such references. The remarks focus on ocean, sunset, whale, and beach views rather than fireworks.

Strong evidence supports a resident/on-site manager for this building. Historical MLS data showed RESMAN in the vast majority of listings, and a current remark explicitly says "on-site management," confirming the amenity. The pattern looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
