Amenities at Marina Towers include a pool, fitness center, and a BBQ area; the property also lists a resident manager and offers ocean, mountain, and sunset views. Air conditioning is provided via window units. Hawaiiana Management Company, Ltd. is identified as the management company for the building.
Additional details: the building has two elevators and provides covered, assigned parking. Pets are allowed and short-term rentals are not permitted. Based on MLS data, buyers should verify all building features, fees, rules, and availability with the managing agent or official building documents.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
All available MLS records for this building report 1967 as the construction year. The remarks focus on remodeling but never mention a different build or completion date, supporting 1967 as the correct year built.
The highest unit floor reported in the MLS property data is 15 (across 14 listings), establishing that the building has at least 15 floors. With no remarks indicating additional stories or a taller tower, we infer a 15-floor building based on the maximum observed unit floor.
A listing describes Marina Towers as a 'beautifully maintained, 108 unit building,' giving a clear unit total. No other remarks suggest a different number of units, so 108 is adopted as the building-wide total.
Searched all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy language or percentages and found none. Per rules, retained the current owner_occupancy value of 55.00% but with low confidence because the remarks provide no confirmation or contradiction.
Searched all public remarks for terms like 'elevator', 'elevators', 'lift', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators' and found no references. Per rules, retained the current recorded value of 2 elevators but with low confidence due to lack of confirming language in the remarks.
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.
All 14 listings leave the central AC–included checkbox blank, and remarks consistently talk about AC as an optional/unit-level feature that can be installed. There is no mention of a central building AC system or of AC being part of the maintenance fee. This strongly indicates that central air conditioning is not included in the association fees.
MLS checkbox data is very consistent, with 13 of 14 units indicating cable TV is included in the association fee. The public remarks discuss a reasonable/low maintenance fee but never state that cable is excluded, supporting that this is a standard building-wide inclusion. This pattern across many separate listings suggests cable TV service is included in the maintenance fees.
MLS checkboxes indicate common/other common expenses included in the association fee in 11 of 15 current listings. Remarks repeatedly reference a reasonable/low maintenance fee but don’t explicitly list exclusions, and the consistency across multiple agents suggests this is a building-level inclusion rather than an isolated copy/paste error.
Across all 14 MLS listings, the cooperative taxes–included field is never checked. Remarks present the property as a standard fee-simple condo in Waikiki, with no mention of co-op arrangements or co-op tax obligations. This gives very high confidence that cooperative taxes are not part of the maintenance fee.
None of the listings indicate electricity as an included association-fee item in the MLS. Public remarks never say 'electricity included' or similar, which is typically highlighted when present. Given the consistent omission and local norms, unit electricity appears to be separately metered and not included in maintenance fees.
All available MLS records leave the gas-included field unchecked. None of the marketing comments reference gas lines, gas ranges, or gas utilities included in maintenance fees. This strongly indicates that gas, if present at all, is not an HOA-covered utility.
Only 1 of 15 current MLS listings include HOTWAT, whereas 13 of 15 list WTRHTR (unit water heaters), indicating hot water is supplied by unit heaters and not covered by HOA fees. Public remarks do not state 'hot water included'; evidence across listings strongly supports setting hot water inclusion to false.
Internet service is marked as included in 14 of 15 current MLS listings. While public remarks do not consistently say 'internet included', the near-uniform MLS checkbox across multiple agents supports treating internet as an association-fee inclusion for the building.
The listings highlight proximity to 'Marinas' and 'Yacht Clubs' but do not suggest that the building’s fees cover marina access or slip costs. MLS fee-inclusion fields for marina are consistently blank (0 of 14). This combination indicates that any marina use is separate and not part of the maintenance fee.
Sewer is indicated as included in 14 of 15 current MLS listings. Public remarks make no statements contradicting this, and the consistent MLS entries across agents support including sewer as part of the association fee.
Water is marked included in 14 of 15 current MLS listings. Although public remarks typically say only that there is a 'reasonable maintenance fee' and don’t always list specifics, the consistent MLS checkbox across multiple agents indicates water is included in the association fee.
The vast majority of listings (14/15) include BBQ in the amenity list, and public remarks repeatedly state 'BBQ', 'BBQ area' or 'BBQ/lounge area'. This is consistent across multiple agent remarks and supports that the building offers communal BBQ/grilling facilities.
Public remarks for about 9 of 14 listings repeatedly describe on-site bicycle storage, using phrases like 'Locked Bicycle ... Storage rooms', 'Bike rack/storage', and 'dedicated bicycle and surfboard storage rooms'. The consistency and specificity of these descriptions across multiple agents show that Marina Towers offers common bicycle storage/bike rack facilities accessible to residents, even though agents are not checking the formal MLS bike-storage amenity box.
The building is near marinas and the Ala Wai canal, but amenities are presented as proximity rather than ownership of docks. With no mention of slips or docking and MLS unchecked, the property does not have a boat dock or marina facility.
Eleven of 15 MLS listings mark a car wash amenity and public remarks explicitly include 'car wash' in the building amenities in at least one agent's description. The combination of multiple MLS checks and an explicit remark supports inclusion of a shared car wash.
Agents consistently enumerate the building’s amenities without ever mentioning a clubhouse or community center. This absence, combined with unchecked MLS data, strongly suggests there is no clubhouse.
The building is portrayed as well-managed but not as having hotel-style concierge services. Given the marketing detail and consistent omission of any concierge wording, it is very unlikely a concierge is present.
Pet-related amenities like a dog park are not advertised anywhere in the remarks. Combined with the lack of MLS indication, this supports that the building does not offer a dedicated dog park or dog run.
Staffing is consistently described in terms of management and a resident manager, not a doorman. The repeated, detailed building descriptions with no doorman reference make it highly likely there is no doorman service.
Multiple listings (8/15 in current MLS data) explicitly list building fitness facilities. Public remarks include direct phrases such as 'gym', 'Workout Area', 'fitness area' and 'mini workout area with several exercise equipment', indicating a shared exercise room/fitness center used by residents.
Even in high-detail descriptions of services like the resident manager and security, there is no reference to limousine or car service. The consistent silence and MLS data indicate there is no limo or house car service.
Despite thorough amenity lists, no listing advertises any meeting or conference room. With only a single MLS instance checked and no textual support, it is very unlikely the building offers a shared meeting room.
Strong evidence across multiple listings that the building offers patios/decks: at least 10 separate remark sections mention lanais/porches (phrases include "open porch", "two lanais", "three lanais", "40 foot lanai", and "oversized lanai doors"). Historical confidence was high and the repeated, detailed lanai references in current remarks (across different agent write-ups) indicate this is a real building feature, even though the MLS amenity checkbox is inconsistently set (5/15 listings).
Remarks talk about proximity to parks and the canal but do not describe any on-site jogging or walking path. With MLS also clear, the building does not appear to offer its own jogging path amenity.
Family/kid amenities are not mentioned even in long amenity lists. The consistent omission and MLS data both indicate there is no children’s playground at this property.
Across all 14 remarks there are frequent mentions of lanais and views, but no references to a private or fenced yard or enclosed ground-level outdoor area. Combined with the high-rise context and lack of MLS PRIYAR, this strongly suggests the building does not offer private yard spaces.
Listings highlight many other amenities but never mention a putting green. The absence from both remarks and MLS confirms there is no putting green at this building.
Twelve of 15 listings list a recreation area and the public remarks consistently include phrases like 'Recreation Area', 'rec area', and 'recreation/lounge area'. Multiple agent remarks corroborate a shared recreation amenity in the building.
Agents repeatedly market a 'recreation area' but do not describe an enclosed recreation or game room. Given this consistent phrasing and lack of any 'rec room' mention, the building appears to have only open recreation space, not a distinct recreation room.
All restaurant references are to the surrounding Waikiki area rather than in-building dining. Since this would be a strong marketing point and is never claimed, the building does not have its own restaurant.
Given that rooftop decks are typically highlighted in marketing but never appear here, and MLS data does not show a rooftop amenity, the building likely has no shared rooftop deck or rooftop facilities.
Agents repeatedly itemize amenities without ever referring to a sauna or steam facility. This, plus its absence in MLS, shows that the building does not have a sauna.
High confidence that the building offers storage units/lockers: 14 of 15 current MLS listings list storage in amenities and numerous public remarks repeatedly state 'storage', 'storage rooms', 'storage space' (key phrases include 'Locked Bicycle, Surf board and Storage rooms' and 'bike rack/storage, and surfboard storage'). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent listings and matches the MLS checkbox, indicating a shared, building-level storage amenity.
Public remarks consistently state that the building offers surfboard storage (often alongside bicycle storage), providing clear evidence that surfboard storage is available.
Across all detailed amenity descriptions, tennis courts are never mentioned even though other amenities are carefully listed. Combined with all MLS records omitting a tennis court, this strongly indicates there is no tennis court at this building.
Fourteen of 15 MLS records check 'trash chute', but none of the provided public remarks explicitly mention 'trash chute', 'garbage chute', or 'refuse chute'. Because of the strong historical MLS consensus and the commonality of chute systems in such buildings, the feature is included with moderate confidence pending owner/property-manager verification.
Listings repeatedly describe reserved or covered parking stalls and reference an adjacent parking garage but never mention valet or any staffed parking service. The consistent omission of valet combined with MLS data strongly indicates the building does not provide valet service.
A majority of MLS entries indicate some form of gate/wall/fence, and narrative remarks consistently refer to secured entry and a secured building. While not spelled out as 'gated community', the combined MLS data and security-focused descriptions support that the property has perimeter or gated physical security.
Amenity lists repeatedly highlight a heated saltwater pool only, without any separate spa or hot tub. Given that whirlpools are desirable and would be advertised, the building almost certainly lacks a whirlpool or hot tub.
All current MLS records list a pool (15/15) and numerous public remarks across listings explicitly reference a shared swimming pool, using phrases like 'Heated Salt pool', 'heated pool', 'salt water pool', and 'swimming pool'. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agent remarks, supporting that the building offers a common pool amenity.
Numerous listings (e.g., 'Amenities include a Heated Salt Pool', 'Amenities for the building include a heated pool', 'heated saltwater pool') clearly state the building’s pool is heated. This consistent language from multiple agents and units indicates the building offers a heated swimming pool as a core amenity.
Several listings explicitly describe the building's pool as a heated salt/saltwater pool, providing strong evidence that the pool is saltwater.
Strong evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: at least 4 separate remark sections explicitly mention 'Washer/Dryer in the unit' or 'Washer and Dryer are new'. Historical MLS data also indicated 15/15 listings included washer/dryer, and current remarks from multiple listings/agents confirm it, so the building offers in-unit laundry.
None of the many amenity descriptions for this building mention community or shared laundry, even when listing numerous other facilities. Together with 0/14 MLS entries for community laundry and repeated emphasis on in-unit washer/dryers, it is very likely the building does not offer separate community laundry facilities.
Searched for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, card-operated, quarters, 'paid laundry'). Public remarks do not describe any community laundry facilities or payment method; several listings instead note washer/dryer in the unit.
Searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. No listings mention community laundry at all (many units note in-unit washer/dryer), so there is no evidence of laundry facilities on every floor.
Multiple independent remarks describe an included parking stall with each unit (e.g., 'A covered parking stall and storage space is included in the sale', 'This home includes a reserved parking space and storage'). Combined with 14/14 MLS records indicating some form of parking, this strongly supports that the building provides on-site parking for residents.
Remarks frequently specify that the stall is not general-use but tied to the unit, using phrases such as 'standard assigned covered parking stall', 'covered reserved parking stall', and 'oversized reserved parking stall'. The consistency of 'assigned/reserved' language across many listings and the ASSIGN checkbox in nearly all MLS entries indicate stalls are individually assigned.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers covered parking: roughly a dozen listings explicitly mention covered/assigned/reserved parking stalls (examples: '1 assigned covered parking stall', 'a covered parking stall and storage space', 'reserved/covered parking stall'). This is corroborated by high historical MLS checkbox presence (12 of 15) and appears across multiple agent remarks rather than being a single typo or isolated copy/paste.
Public remarks repeatedly describe an 'assigned/reserved covered parking stall' that is 'included in the sale', indicating the parking stall is deeded/owned with the unit. Returning true with high confidence.
Across all reviewed remarks, amenities are detailed (pool, BBQ, workout area, storage, etc.) but there is no reference to EV charging or charging stations. Combined with the complete absence of the EVCHRG checkbox in current MLS data, this strongly suggests the building does not offer dedicated EV parking or chargers.
Listings mention additional motorcycle/moped parking may be available 'for a monthly fee' and that adjacent Villa parking garage provides monthly parking (check availability). No specific monthly parking dollar amounts are given in the remarks.
Agents repeatedly list building amenities and nearby conveniences but never mention 'guest parking' or 'visitor parking'. Given that guest parking is usually advertised when present and the GUEST checkbox is unused in all MLS entries, it is very likely the building does not provide dedicated guest parking stalls.
Remarks describe building security (e.g., 'secured building with video monitoring', 'secured access') but do not reference a gated garage, key/card-controlled parking, or 'secured parking'. The consistent lack of the SECENT checkbox and absence of any explicit 'secured parking' language suggest the parking itself does not have a distinct secured entry feature.
Where stalls are described, they are referred to as 'standard assigned covered parking stall', 'reserved parking space', or similar, without any indication they are tandem. The complete lack of tandem terminology in remarks and MLS data supports that tandem parking is not a building feature.
Agents highlight many services and amenities (resident manager, recreation area, pool, storage, etc.) but never reference valet or attended parking. Given that valet is a prominent feature when present and is not reflected in either MLS checkboxes or remarks, it is almost certain the building does not offer valet parking.
Searched remarks for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', or similar phrases and found none; remarks reference assigned/reserved parking and availability on site. Returning false with low confidence due to absence of explicit info.
Agents highlight multiple security elements but never reference a keyed or restricted elevator, which is typically marketed if present. Combined with the absence of any MLS indication, this strongly suggests there is no keyed/fob elevator security system.
Searched for terms such as 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', or 'keycard entry'. While the remarks repeatedly reference 'secured entry', 'secured access', and video monitoring, there is no explicit mention of card/fob system in the public remarks.
Multiple independent remarks detail the building’s security features but only reference a resident manager and secured access, never a security guard or staffed security service. Given the marketing emphasis on security elsewhere, the consistent omission of a guard strongly indicates there is no security-guard service.
Searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', 'patrol service', and similar phrases. Remarks describe an on-site resident manager and secured building with video monitoring but contain no references to a security patrol service.
Video security is clearly confirmed by the phrase 'secured building with video monitoring.' This explicit mention in the remarks outweighs the unchecked MLS amenity box and supports that the building has camera/monitoring systems.
No listing remarks mention central air, HVAC, or a building-wide system, and 0/14 MLS entries check the central AC field. Instead, remarks consistently frame AC as an optional, unit-specific feature, indicating the building relies on individual units rather than central air.
No listings' public remarks (0/15) specifically mention 'split', 'mini-split', or 'ductless' AC. One listing has ACSPL checked in inclusions, but multiple listings only reference generic 'AC' or that 'ACs are new,' which does not confirm split/ductless systems. Given prior absence across listings and lack of explicit remarks, there is strong evidence the building does not offer split/ductless AC.
Window AC is marked in the MLS for the majority (10/14) of recent listings, while no central or split systems are indicated, and remarks describe unit-level AC. This strongly supports that some units in the building have window air conditioners.
Strong evidence: 11 of 15 current MLS listings mark concrete construction and the public remarks explicitly state "Concrete high rise building built in 1967." Multiple agent remarks consistently describe a mid-century concrete high-rise, indicating strong, corroborated evidence across listings rather than a single copy/paste.
A notable portion of listings (6/14) identify double‑wall construction and none explicitly contradict it. This suggests that at least some portions (often interior walls) of the building use double‑wall assemblies.
A minority of listings (3/14) explicitly identify hollow tile, and none contradict it. Given typical local construction practice (concrete with hollow‑tile infill), this is likely accurate even if not consistently checked by all agents.
Moderate evidence: 7 of 15 current MLS listings list masonry/stucco (historical confidence Medium), but none of the public remarks refer to "masonry" or "stucco." The signal comes from multiple MLS entries (possible agent checkbox usage) rather than explicit remark confirmation, so confidence is moderate.
No listings mark steel‑frame construction and many mark concrete instead, suggesting concrete is the primary structure. Given local building norms and the absence of any steel references, steel‑frame construction can be ruled out with high confidence.
Several listings (3/14) explicitly indicate a slab foundation, with none indicating a different foundation type. Combined with standard practice for similar concrete towers, this supports including a concrete slab foundation as a building feature.
No analysis available
None of the 14 MLS listings identify wood‑frame construction, and most explicitly indicate concrete. For a mid‑century high‑rise building of this scale in Waikiki, wood‑frame construction would be highly unlikely.
The above‑ground construction checkbox is never used, whereas data points instead to a slab foundation. Given the building type and MLS patterns, it is very unlikely to be classified as an above‑ground construction building.
There are zero references to brick construction in the MLS data, and this building type/location almost always uses concrete systems. The consistent absence across agents strongly indicates it is not a brick building.
The MLS data never indicates single‑wall construction, and the building’s size and type are inconsistent with that method. It is therefore very unlikely that this building uses single‑wall construction.
Searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'STR', '30-day minimum', 'NUC', and 'TVU' and found no references in the public remarks. Absence of STR language yields false with low confidence.
No public remarks indicate participation in a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed program. Because STR is not indicated, hotel rental pool participation is set to false.
No listings mention a mandatory hotel rental pool or that owners are required to participate. As STR is not indicated, mandatory pool is set to false.
Across all provided listings, agents never describe the property as leasehold or mention lease rent or expiry, which is standard practice when marketing leasehold units in Hawaii. The consistent omission of leasehold language, combined with references only to maintenance fees, indicates that the building has fee simple units.
Despite numerous listings and very detailed remarks, there are zero references to leasehold terms, lease rent, or lease expiration—information that is normally emphasized when present. This consistent absence across many agents and listings indicates that Marina Towers almost certainly does not have leasehold units.
Public remarks explicitly state 'Fee simple ownership', so a lease expiry year is not applicable. Returning null for lease expiry with high confidence because the property is fee simple.
Searched all public remarks for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans' and found none. Absence of mention in listings leaves VA approval unconfirmed; returning false with low confidence.
Several listings explicitly state the building is fully insured (e.g., 'Building is Fully Insured with a reasonable maintenance fee'), directly matching the 'fully insured' definition. This explicit and repeated phrasing supports a high-confidence true value.
Listings repeatedly list amenities like a heated salt pool, BBQ, recreation area, workout area, storage, and security, but never mention fire sprinklers. Combined with the unchecked sprinklers field in all available MLS records, this strongly indicates the building does not have a fire sprinkler system.
Searched remarks for explicit FLSE/fire-life-safety language (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'fire/life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection') and found no mentions. Because there is no current recorded true value and no remarks indicating it passed, returned false with medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
At least 6 of 15 current listings mention ocean/water views, with phrases like 'ocean', 'Pacific Ocean beyond', and 'peek-a-boo ocean and canal views'. Multiple listings from different agents consistently advertise ocean outlooks, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.
Mountain views are cited in at least 7 of 15 listings, including phrases such as 'Panoramic Mountain, Valley, and Water Views' and 'Mountain, Valley and Canal Views'. Multiple agent remarks consistently list mountain outlooks, supporting that the building offers mountain-view units.
Across all provided listings, agents describe a wide range of views but never reference Diamond Head or its crater. Combined with 0/14 MLS entries including Diamond Head, this strongly indicates that Diamond Head views are not a notable feature of this building.
City or skyline views are mentioned in roughly 8 of 15 listings, with quotes like 'city skyline' and 'views of the OCEAN & CITY!'. Multiple independent listings advertise city views, indicating the building provides units with city-facing exposures.
A subset of MLS listings mark coastline views, and remarks describe broad ocean vistas like 'Pacific Ocean beyond' from higher-floor units. Together, this supports that certain units likely enjoy coastline-style views even if the term 'coastline' is not consistently used in remarks.
Listing remarks focus on ocean, canal, marina, mountain, city, and sunset views, with no agent marketing garden or courtyard vistas as a feature. Combined with 0/14 MLS entries for garden views, this suggests garden views are not a significant or distinct building view feature.
Across 14 listings, agents never mention golf course or fairway views, even though they consistently detail other views like ocean, canal, mountains, city, and sunset. Together with 0/14 MLS entries for golf course view, this strongly indicates the building does not offer golf course views.
Marina/canal/harbor views are noted in at least 6 of 15 listings, with phrases like 'Ala Wai Canal', 'calming canal views', and 'marina'. Multiple listings emphasize views of the canal/marina area, confirming the building offers units with marina/canal outlooks.
Agents consistently highlight 'sunset' views and western exposures but never reference sunrise or morning sun in any listing. With no MLS entries marking sunrise views, it is unlikely that sunrise views are a notable selling point for this building.
Sunset views are called out in multiple listings (at least 2 of 15), including direct quotes like 'spectacular sunset views' and 'sunset & canal views'. While fewer listings mention sunsets than other view types, the explicit language across different listings indicates some units provide sunset-facing exposures.
Agents describe many view types—ocean, canal, marina, city, mountains, and sunset—but never refer to any cemetery outlook. This, plus the absence of cemetery in all MLS view fields, strongly indicates the building does not have notable cemetery views.
Searched remarks for explicit statements like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. Listings emphasize ocean, canal, marina, sunset, city and mountain views but do not state fireworks visibility from the building.

There are no explicit references to pets, dogs, or cats in the remarks, but there are also no statements of 'no pets' and the MLS shows 0/14 units marked with NOPET. Given the policy that only explicit 'no pets' makes this feature false, the building is treated as allowing pets with moderate confidence.
All 15 current listings and prior MLS data indicate a resident/on-site manager for Marina Towers. Remarks include explicit phrases such as 'beloved Resident Manager', 'attentive resident manager', and 'full-time resident manager', repeated across multiple agent remarks (likely consistent copy/paste but corroborating the MLS checkbox). Evidence is strong and consistent across listings, so the building is reported to have a resident manager.
Remarks focus on long-term residential living, views, amenities, and location, with no mention of hotel-style services or a rental pool. The complete absence of condotel-related language across many agents and 0/14 MLS CONDOT flags strongly supports that this is not a condotel building.
All listings speak of the property as a conventional condo unit and never mention cooperative ownership structures or share-based ownership. The absence of any co-op terminology and 0/14 COOTAX flags indicate the building is a condominium, not a cooperative.
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.
