Makaha Shores
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.

Remarks describe use as getaways, investments, and permanent residences, and note rental rules (e.g., 30-day minimum), but never quantify or characterize owner-occupancy levels. Without any numeric or qualitative indication, the owner-occupancy percentage is unknown. No estimate is made to avoid guessing.
Remarks consistently reference a single elevator, and there are no indications of multiple elevators. Given the existing value of 1 and the singular wording used, keeping 1 elevator is reasonable and supported. No explicit count is given, but evidence aligns with a single elevator.

Across 15 listings, 13 agents checked the MLS box indicating cable TV is included in the association fees. Although public remarks do not explicitly mention cable, the strong majority of independent MLS entries suggests cable is included as a building-wide service rather than random agent error.
Most listings (23 of 31 across historical and current data) indicate common area electricity is included in the association fee via the OTCOEX flag. Although no remarks explicitly say 'common area electricity included,' the consistency across many listings and agents suggests this is a true building-level inclusion rather than a sporadic error.

Multiple listings explicitly highlight individual tankless water heaters in the units, and 7 of 16 current listings mark WTRHTR in inclusions, indicating unit-supplied hot water. Only 2 of 16 listings check HOTWAT in HOA inclusions and no remarks mention hot water being included in fees, so evidence strongly supports that hot water is not provided by the association.

Every listing in both historical and current data (at least 31/31) shows sewer included in the association fees. Even though remarks don’t spell it out, the consistent SEWER checkbox across all listings and agents indicates sewer is reliably included in the HOA dues.
All listings (past and present, at least 31/31) mark WATER as included in the HOA fees, indicating a well-established building practice. Remarks referencing water shutoff valves at the unit level fit with a building-supplied water system, so water being included in maintenance fees is highly reliable.
At least five separate listings describe a building 'BBQ area', 'BBQ', or 'evening barbeque', e.g., 'Onsite manager, elevator, BBQ area, and heated swimming pool' and 'Makaha Shores is ... with direct beach access, heated pool, BBQ'. Combined with 14 of 15 MLS entries checking BBQ, this strongly supports a shared BBQ/grilling amenity that is consistently marketed across agents.

Multiple listings describe unit lanais—"private lanai," "enclosed front lanai," and "spacious open lanai"—indicating that Makaha Shores offers patio/deck-style outdoor spaces. Combined with 7 of 15 MLS entries checking patio/deck-related amenities, the evidence strongly supports that this building provides lanai/patio areas for its units. Buyers seeking a building with patios/decks would reasonably be interested in this property.

At least one unit is described as having dedicated lockable surfboard storage for long boards. This explicit mention supports marking surfboard storage as available in the building context, even if tied to specific units.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly reference a trash or garbage chute, but 8 of 15 MLS listings check the TRACHU amenity, suggesting a building-wide trash chute system. Because this type of feature is routinely omitted from prose remarks yet appears in a majority of amenity checklists, it is likely present, though with only moderate confidence.

Multiple listings explicitly describe a shared building pool, including phrases like 'heated swimming pool,' 'heated saltwater pool,' 'heated pool,' and 'beautiful pool.' In the current set, 9 of 13 remarks mention the pool as a core amenity, and MLS data shows 16/16 listings with pool checked. Evidence is consistent across agents and time, confirming the building has a shared, heated swimming pool.
Many listings explicitly describe a heated pool, using phrases like 'heated swimming pool', 'heated saltwater pool', and 'Amenities include heated pool'. At least 7 of 13 remark sets use the word 'heated' for the pool, and others mention a pool generally. Consistent, specific 'heated' language from multiple agents indicates the building’s pool is heated.
The pool is specifically described as a heated saltwater pool. This clearly indicates a saltwater swimming pool rather than a standard chlorinated pool.
At least one listing explicitly notes, 'Included is a washer/dryer and dishwasher,' confirming in‑unit laundry exists in some units. Current MLS data (2/15 listings with washer/dryer checked) is consistent with this being a partial‑building feature rather than universal. This is sufficient to treat in‑unit laundry as available in the building for buyers seeking that option.
Multiple listings explicitly mention shared laundry facilities, including phrases like "coin/app laundry," "community laundry," and "Building has common laundry." MLS data shows 15 of 16 current listings with the COMLAU amenity checked, and remarks from different agents consistently describe building-level laundry services rather than in-unit only. This provides strong, multi-agent confirmation that the building offers community laundry facilities.
The building has paid community laundry, described as coin/app-operated. This strongly indicates that laundry use requires payment rather than being free.
Listings consistently confirm shared/community laundry in the building but provide no indication it is available on each floor. Searched for phrases like 'laundry on every floor', 'laundry room on each floor', and found none, so floor-by-floor laundry is unlikely.
Multiple listings explicitly mention building parking, including 'one covered parking stall', 'convenient parking', and 'covered parking'. Current MLS data (16/16 with parking features, 0/16 with NONE) strongly supports that the building provides parking for units. Evidence is consistent across many different listings and agents, indicating this is a stable building feature.
Assigned or reserved stalls are repeatedly confirmed in remarks, with phrases like 'One assigned covered parking stall', 'assigned parking for ease', 'one assigned parking stall', and 'ONE ASSIGNED PARKING SPACE'. Combined with 15/16 current listings flagged as ASSIGN, this provides strong, multi-agent evidence that parking is assigned in this building.
Several remarks explicitly reference covered parking, such as 'One assigned covered parking stall,' '1 covered parking stall,' 'one covered paarking #17,' and 'Building amenities include ... covered parking.' With 7/15 current MLS listings also indicating covered/garage-style parking, there is strong evidence that the building provides covered parking options for some units. Buyers seeking covered parking would reasonably consider this building.
Public remarks consistently describe an assigned (often covered) parking stall that comes with the unit, with no indication of separate rental or third-party ownership. Phrases like 'One assigned covered parking stall' and 'Full kitchen, full bath and one assigned parking stall' suggest the stall is included in the property interest. This strongly supports treating parking as deeded/owned with the unit for this building.

I searched for terms such as 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional cost for parking', or dollar amounts tied specifically to parking and found none. Listings instead present parking as an included, assigned stall. With no explicit references to any recurring parking charge, the monthly parking fee amount is unknown.

The remarks repeatedly highlight 'one assigned parking stall' or similar phrasing and do not reference any waiting list or queue for obtaining parking. Buildings with constrained or waitlisted parking typically mention this limitation. In the absence of such language across many listings, it is likely there is no formal parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for 'key card', 'keycard', 'fob', 'card access', and similar terms but none appear in the remarks. Listings emphasize staffed security and cameras, suggesting traditional, not card/fob-based, access control.
Numerous listings explicitly reference security services, including phrases like "24-hour security (both cameras and on-site personnel)", "24-hour security", and "24-hr. security," as well as "patrolling security" and generic "SECURITY" among building amenities. Combined with MLS data showing 12 out of 15 listings checked for security_guard, this indicates Makaha Shores provides staffed, building-level security coverage.
Security is described as 24-hour with on-site personnel and explicitly as 'patrolling security.' This supports the presence of active security patrol services in the building.

Every available listing (31/31 across historical and current data) shows the construction_materials field as CONCRE, indicating concrete construction. None of the public remarks contradict this, and there are no mentions of alternative structural materials. With consistent MLS checkbox data from multiple agents over time and no conflicting evidence, the building is reliably concrete constructed.
Double-wall construction is inconsistently marked (5/15 listings) and never mentioned in any public remarks, while the building is consistently identified as concrete. The majority of agents omit DOUWAL and the building type strongly suggests it is not double-wall, so this feature is treated as not present.

Multiple remarks specify a 30-day minimum rental term, meaning nightly or very short-term rentals are not permitted. This indicates that STRs in the hotel/TVU sense are not allowed in this building.
Because the building requires 30-day minimum rentals and never references a hotel rental pool, participation in a hotel program is not supported. By rule, with STRs disallowed, a hotel pool cannot apply here.
I searched for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found none. With STRs disallowed and no program mentioned, there is no mandatory rental pool in this building.

I looked for phrases like 'leasehold', 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'ground lease ends', or a 4-digit year tied to a lease ending and found none. The remarks instead focus on views, amenities, and upgrades without any land tenure details. Without explicit information, the lease expiry year cannot be determined.
I searched all remarks for indications that VA loans are accepted or that the building is VA-approved and found none. Marketing comments typically highlight VA approval when available, so the absence of any such reference suggests VA financing is not a key feature here. Marked as false due to lack of evidence in multiple listings.
Public remarks focus on location, upgrades, amenities, security, and rental terms, but do not discuss the scope of HOA or building insurance. Given no explicit evidence and no current value, this is treated as not fully documented as 'walls-in' insured. This could be incorrect if coverage exists but is simply not advertised.
No analysis available
Listings describe many amenities (pool, BBQ, security, on-site manager) but never reference any fire/life safety evaluation or similar certification. Following the rules, the absence of any such mention suggests the building is likely not specifically documented as having passed an FLSE. This remains an inference, as no explicit statements are provided.

Multiple independent listings describe direct oceanfront positioning and explicit ocean views, using phrases like 'the stunning Pacific Ocean', 'Enjoy ocean views', and 'Direct oceanfront apartment with spectacular panoramic vistas.' Current MLS data (6/16 with OCEAN, 0/16 with NONE) aligns with these remarks. Together with prior high-confidence history, this confirms that some units in the building have ocean views.
At least 3–4 remarks describe combined ocean and mountain/valley views, such as 'Breathtaking Ocean and mountain views' and 'gorgeous scenic views of the valley, mountain and ocean.' With 5/15 MLS listings tagged for mountain views and multiple distinct agents highlighting this, the building clearly offers units with mountain views.

Remarks go beyond generic oceanfront wording to emphasize shoreline and beach vistas, including 'panoramic coastline views daily', 'Spectacular views of Surf and Sandy Beach', and multiple references to being directly on the sands of Makaha Beach. Current MLS view data (5/16 with COASTL) supports this. This confirms that some units in the building have coastline/shoreline views.

A renovated unit is marketed with 'Views from your lanai are of ocean, sandy beach, mountains, sunrise and more,' directly confirming sunrise visibility from at least part of the building. Together with 2/15 MLS entries coded for SUNRIS, this supports that some units offer sunrise views that buyers may specifically seek out.
Public remarks repeatedly highlight sunset exposure, with multiple agents mentioning 'majestic sunsets', 'unobstructed sunset views', and 'beautiful sunsets.' The building is directly on Makaha Beach on Oahu’s west side, which is consistent with sunset-facing views, and MLS view data also includes SUNSET in several listings. This indicates that at least some units in the building enjoy sunset views.
No analysis available
I searched for terms such as 'fireworks', 'Friday night fireworks', and 'watch fireworks from lanai/unit' and found no mentions. Given repeated detailed view descriptions with no reference to fireworks, a fireworks view is unlikely.

Multiple listings describe the building as having an 'Onsite manager' or 'on-site manager,' indicating a manager based at the property. This is reinforced by MLS amenities data (RESMAN checked in 9/15 listings) and is consistent across different agents. There is no evidence suggesting this amenity has been removed or is incorrect.
