Marine Surf Waikiki

The overwhelming majority of MLS records (42 of 43) list the building as built in 1968, with a single outlier at 1969. With no remarks suggesting a different or reconstructed year, 1968 is the best-supported build year.

Across 43 listings, the highest observed unit floor is 23, and no remarks reference any floor above that. Multiple listings mention 'high floor' and a penthouse without indicating additional higher levels, so we infer a 23-floor building based on available data.

No listing remarks state the total number of units in the building, and there is no reliable MLS aggregate value provided. The true unit count is unknown based on current information; '0' is a placeholder rather than an actual count.

I searched for explicit percentages such as "80% owner occupied," as well as phrases like "majority owner occupied" and "highly owner occupied." No percentage or majority statement was found, so the current value of 10.0 is retained with low confidence.

I searched for explicit counts such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The remarks only reference elevator locations or access, with no numeric count, so the current value of 2 is retained with low confidence.

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Remarks reference individual split AC units (e.g., "Split AC has also been installed"; "Mitsubishi split air conditioning"), not a building-provided central AC system covered by the maintenance fee. With no mentions of central AC in fees and ACCEN absent from all 20 MLS records, it is very likely that central air conditioning is not included in the HOA/maintenance fees.

At least 10 listings explicitly mention cable, including phrases such as “cable included,” “basic cable TV,” and “maintenance fee includes Cable TV.” The evidence is strong across multiple listings and is corroborated by 18/20 MLS records showing CABTV.

At least 3 listings directly state that fees include “common expenses,” including two remarks quoting total fees covering “electricity, cable, internet, hot water, water, sewer, and common expenses.” MLS data supports the feature in 15/20 listings, making inclusion strongly supported even though fewer remarks name it directly.

Remarks call the property "fee-simple" and refer to it as a condo or hotel condo, not a co-op, across many listings. Given the well-known status of Marine Surf Waikiki as a fee-simple condotel and the complete absence of any reference to co-op taxes in the remarks, the lone COOTAX checkbox in 1/20 MLS records is best interpreted as a mis-entry, so cooperative taxes are not included in the maintenance fee.

At least 14 listings explicitly mention electricity being included, with phrases such as “maintenance fees include electricity,” “fees include electric,” and “Cable TV, Electric, Hot water, Water, Sewer is included.” Evidence is highly consistent across multiple agents and is corroborated by 19/20 MLS records.

Across all compiled remarks, utilities included in the maintenance fee consistently list electricity, cable, internet, water, sewer, and sometimes hot water, but never gas. With GAS unchecked in all MLS records, there is strong evidence that gas service is not provided or included in the building’s maintenance fees.

At least 9 listings explicitly mention “hot water included” or list “hot water” among covered fees. The current MLS data shows HOTWAT in 19/20 listings and no WTRHTR, providing exceptionally strong evidence that building-supplied hot water is included.

Internet inclusion is supported by current MLS data and repeated listing remarks. Thirteen of 20 listings include INTSER, and multiple remarks say “internet included” or that fees cover electricity, cable, and internet.

The building is described as a centrally located Waikiki condo near beaches, shopping, and restaurants, with amenities like a pool, laundry, security, and on-site restaurants—but no marina or boat slips are ever referenced. With MLS data also indicating no marina inclusion, it is virtually certain that marina access or fees are not part of the maintenance charges.

Sewer inclusion is strongly supported across the building: 20/20 current listings include SEWER in the MLS association-fee data, and many remarks explicitly say fees include “water and sewer,” “electricity, cable, water, and sewer,” or “water and sewer services.” The repeated wording appears in multiple listings and agents, confirming this is a building-level fee inclusion rather than an isolated claim.

Water inclusion is strongly supported across the building: 20/20 current listings include WATER in the MLS association-fee data, while many remarks state “maintenance fee includes ... water,” “fees include ... water, sewer,” or that monthly fees cover water and related utilities. The consistent references across multiple listings and agents confirm water is included in the maintenance fees.

Multiple listings describe building amenities in detail (pool, laundry, security, restaurants), yet none mention BBQ, grill areas, or barbecues. Given also that no MLS entries mark BBQ as an amenity, it is very likely the building does not provide BBQ facilities.

The remarks focus on amenities such as the swimming pool, 24-hour security, community laundry, and on-site restaurants, but never mention bike storage, bicycle rooms, or bike racks in any listing. MLS amenity fields are consistently blank for bike storage across all sampled listings. This absence in both narrative and checkbox data indicates that the building does not offer dedicated bike storage facilities.

The building is portrayed as being in the heart of Waikiki, near beaches but not on a marina or direct waterfront with docking facilities. With no MLS or remark evidence of any dock or slip, the property clearly does not have boat dock or marina access.

Listings emphasize the value of assigned/covered parking but never mention any car wash facility. Given the absence of both MLS and textual evidence, it is very likely the building does not offer a car wash amenity.

Across all public remarks, there is no mention of a clubhouse or similar communal gathering building, while other amenities are consistently detailed. Combined with 0/20 MLS checkboxes, this strongly suggests there is no clubhouse amenity.

None of the provided listings explicitly mention concierge, concierge service, front desk service, or a staffed desk. Multiple listings instead reference security, 24-hour security, secure entry/lobby, or a resident manager, so the current 2/20 MLS concierge entries are likely copied or erroneous rather than evidence that the building offers concierge service.

Despite detailed marketing of the building’s vacation-rental appeal and amenities, there is no reference to any pet-specific common areas. This, plus the lack of MLS indication, supports that the building does not have a dog park or dog run.

None of the numerous remarks reference a doorman, door attendant, lobby attendant, or staffed lobby desk; instead they mention "resident manager" and "24-hour security," which are distinct roles. MLS data also shows 0 of 20 listings checking the doorman amenity. This consistent omission across many independent listings makes it very likely the building does not have a doorman service.

Across remarks for roughly 20 listings, agents consistently highlight the pool, laundry on each floor, security, and on-site restaurants but never reference any gym, fitness room, or exercise facility. Combined with 0/20 MLS amenity checkboxes for EXEROO, this strongly indicates the building does not offer a shared exercise room.

Agents focus on legal short-term rental status, location, and physical amenities but do not mention any chauffeur, limousine, or house car services. This strong negative evidence indicates the building does not provide limo or building car service.

Listings thoroughly market investment potential and building features but never mention any meeting or conference room. The absence of MLS and remark evidence indicates the building does not offer a shared meeting room.

At least 15 listings mention a patio or lanai, with repeated explicit descriptions such as “2 lanais,” “huge 280 sq ft lanai,” “covered lanai,” “two spacious lanais,” and “large 723 SF wraparound lanai.” The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents and confirms the building offers patio/deck outdoor space, even though the exact size and configuration vary by unit.

Although the location near Waikiki and Kapiolani Park is mentioned, no listing claims a dedicated jogging or walking path as a building amenity. The combined MLS and remark silence indicates there is no on-site jogging path.

The building is positioned as a vacation rental and investor product, and agents focus on pool, beach access, and shopping rather than family play facilities. With no textual or MLS evidence, it is almost certain there is no children’s playground.

No listing mentions any private or fenced yard; instead all outdoor space references are to lanais/balconies typical of a high-rise. Given the building’s tower form in dense Waikiki and 0/20 MLS entries for a private yard amenity, it is very likely that no units offer true private yard space. This appears to be a condo-tower with balconies, not yard areas.

Amenities repeatedly cited are pool, on-site restaurants, security, and laundry; golf-type amenities are never mentioned. This makes it highly likely there is no putting green at this property.

Descriptions focus on the pool, lanais, lobby restaurants, and proximity to Waikiki attractions, without any reference to a shared recreation deck or amenity area. The lack of both MLS and remark evidence indicates the building does not have a dedicated recreation area.

Agents repeatedly list building amenities (pool, laundry on each floor, restaurants, security, resident manager) but never mention a recreation room or game room. With 0/20 MLS checkboxes for RECROO, it is very likely this feature is absent.

At least 9 current listing remarks explicitly mention an in-building restaurant or on-site dining, with repeated phrases such as "two on-site restaurants" and "restaurant in the lobby." The evidence appears across multiple listings and agents, not solely from a single copied description, and confirms the building-level amenity.

While one penthouse listing highlights a large wraparound lanai, there is no indication of a shared rooftop amenity or roof deck open to residents. With 0/20 MLS rooftop checkboxes and no textual mentions, a rooftop amenity is very unlikely.

Even in listings that highlight upgraded amenities and investment appeal, no one markets a sauna or steam room. This consistent omission, plus 0/20 MLS indicators, makes it almost certain that there is no sauna amenity.

Out of the many listings reviewed, one recent listing clearly describes “storage lockers” as a building amenity alongside pool and parking, and distinguishes them from separate surfboard storage, implying common storage facilities. A penthouse listing also mentions ample exterior storage on the same floor, further supporting the presence of non-unit storage spaces. Although most agents don’t mention it, the specific, detailed wording about storage lockers provides strong evidence that the building offers shared storage units.

A listing directly and specifically confirms secure surfboard storage. This explicit amenity statement, consistent with the existing high-confidence verification, supports a very high-confidence true value.

In a dense, centrally located Waikiki building, remarks never mention tennis courts and MLS data shows none checked. This combination is strong evidence that the property does not offer tennis court amenities.

At least 3 current listing remarks explicitly mention the trash chute, including repeated statements that there is "a trash chute on each floor." This specific, consistent detail, together with the 17/20 MLS amenity presence and high historical confidence, strongly validates the feature.

Dozens of remarks emphasize self-park-style 'assigned' or 'covered' parking and never reference valet services. In a building where valet existed, agents would typically call out 'valet parking' or similar language. The consistent self-park descriptions and blank valet checkbox data support that the building does not offer valet service.

The remarks repeatedly describe a standard urban Waikiki tower with easy walking access to surrounding streets, shops, and beaches, but never mention gates, fences, walls, or a gated community. MLS data similarly shows no agents checking GATED or WALFEN for this building. Given the setting and consistent omission, it is very likely the property does not have a perimeter wall or fence as a defining security feature.

Many listings describe the building’s pool, including one specifying a saltwater pool, but none mention any separate hot tub or whirlpool feature. With no MLS check for WHIRLP and no textual support, the building appears to lack a whirlpool amenity.

The building pool is strongly validated: at least 20 of 20 listings mention it, using phrases such as “swimming pool,” “building pool,” “refreshing pool,” and “saltwater pool.” The repeated confirmations across many distinct remarks, including references to Marine Surf amenities, are consistent with the historical high-confidence data and indicate a shared building amenity rather than an isolated unit feature.

While many listings mention a building pool, none refer to it as a 'heated pool' or similar, and one listing specifically calls it a 'Saltwater Pool' without any heating reference. Combined with 0/20 MLS records indicating a heated pool, the evidence supports that the building’s pool is not heated. This is treated as the baseline condition rather than a correction of past data.

One listing explicitly identifies the building pool as a saltwater pool. This direct statement, combined with the existing high-confidence verification, supports a very high-confidence true value.

Across all provided remarks, none mention in‑unit laundry or a washer/dryer inside any unit, even for fully remodeled or penthouse units. Instead, agents repeatedly highlight shared facilities such as 'community laundry on each floor', 'on-site laundry', and 'same-floor laundry facilities'. Combined with only 1/20 MLS listings checking WASHER/DRYER and strong historical evidence of no in‑unit laundry, this feature is treated as not present in the building.

Community laundry is strongly confirmed across many listings, with at least 15 current listings explicitly mentioning it. Repeated phrases include 'community laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room,' and 'on-site laundry,' indicating a consistent building-wide shared amenity rather than isolated copy-paste checkbox usage.

The remarks frequently mention community laundry, including laundry on each floor, but do not state that users must pay. Payment requirements may be omitted, so this is treated as not confirmed rather than definitively established as absent.

Multiple listings directly confirm that community laundry facilities are available on every floor. The repeated, consistent wording provides very high confidence that this feature exists.

Parking is strongly confirmed across the building: numerous listings explicitly mention a parking stall or parking space, including covered and secured parking. The evidence appears across many listings and agents, while MLS data confirms parking-related features in all 20 listings.

Assigned parking is repeatedly confirmed across the listings, with well over 15 remarks citing "assigned parking stall," "secured, assigned parking," or "deeded parking." The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, not merely dependent on MLS checkbox data.

Covered parking is explicitly mentioned in many listings, including descriptions of "covered parking," "secured covered parking stall," "covered and deeded parking," and a "Standard covered parking stall at the basement." The evidence spans multiple listings and agents and aligns with the strong current MLS signal of 12/20 listings.

There is strong repeated evidence that parking is associated with the units, including explicit references to "rare deeded parking" and "covered and deeded parking." The feature is therefore supported with very high confidence.

Across many listings, agents describe assigned and covered parking but never reference EV charging or stations. Given the complete absence of EV-related mentions and no EVCHRG flag in any MLS entries, it is very likely the building does not offer dedicated EV charging.

The remarks were searched for parking-fee and parking-rental language. Listings generally describe assigned, covered, or deeded parking but do not state a separate monthly parking charge, so the fee is unknown.

One agent specifically mentions 'paid guest parking stalls', which directly indicates the availability of visitor parking within the building. Even though MLS checkboxes do not show GUEST, this explicit remark is strong evidence that guest parking is offered on-site.

Moderate evidence that parking access is secured: several listings mention "secured, assigned parking stall", "secured covered parking stall", "secure building", or "24-hour security" (appearing across multiple agent remarks). While not universal in every remark, these repeated explicit mentions across different listings suggest the parking has secured entry or controlled access.

Listings consistently describe single standard or covered stalls and never use terms like 'tandem' or 'back-to-back'. Given the detailed parking notes and lack of any tandem references, the building’s stalls are very likely not tandem-style.

Agents repeatedly mention assigned and covered self-parking but do not mention valet or attended parking anywhere. The absence of VALET in MLS and in remarks strongly indicates that the building does not offer valet parking.

The remarks repeatedly discuss assigned, covered, and deeded parking but do not mention a waitlist or process for joining one. Based on the absence of such language, no parking waitlist is indicated in the public remarks.

At least one listing clearly states "Amenities include ... community laundry on each floor w/trash chute, keyed elevator, paid guest parking stalls," which is a specific reference to elevator access control. Other listings describe the building as secure, consistent with restricted elevator access. Even though ELEVAT is 0/20 in MLS, the explicit "keyed elevator" remark provides strong evidence this feature exists building-wide.

The building clearly has security-related access controls, but the remarks do not establish that those controls use cards or fobs. Keyed access is not sufficient evidence for this specific feature.

At least five listings explicitly mention "24-hour security," including repeated remarks for remodeled studios, a legal short-term rental, the penthouse, and another Marine Surf unit. Other listings describe the building as having "security" or being a "secure building," providing strong confirmation across multiple remarks rather than relying solely on copied MLS checkbox data.

Several listings confirm general building security and 24-hour security. None specifically describe a patrol service, so patrol security is not confirmed.

Across all provided listings, none mention security cameras, CCTV, or video surveillance, even in detailed amenity descriptions that emphasize security features. MLS data likewise shows 0 of 20 listings checking the SECSYS (security system) amenity. Given that agents consistently market other security amenities, this absence strongly indicates the building does not offer a building-wide video surveillance system in the MLS sense.

Across all gathered remarks, there are no references to central air, forced air, or building-wide HVAC, and 0 of 20 MLS entries mark a central AC feature. Multiple listings instead emphasize unit-level split and window AC, which would be unlikely if a central system existed. This pattern across many different listings and agents supports that the building does not have central AC.

At least 6 current remarks explicitly mention split AC, including “Split AC has also been installed,” “new... split AC,” and “Mitsubishi split air conditioning”; the source history indicates at least 8 separate confirming remarks overall. Although the MLS checkbox appears in only 5/20 listings, the repeated detailed remarks across multiple listings and the previously high-confidence evidence strongly support split AC availability in the building.

Window AC is strongly supported by historical MLS data, with ACWIUN reported in 15 of 20 listings. One current listing explicitly mentions “the new window AC is just installed”; although most other AC references describe split AC or omit the type, the checkbox history and direct remark support including this feature.

Concrete construction is strongly supported by current MLS data, with 18 of 20 listings marking CONCRE, consistent with the previously high-confidence historical record. Public remarks largely focus on unit renovations and amenities; the phrase "polished concrete floors" appears once but refers to a unit finish rather than structural construction, so the conclusion rests primarily on consistent MLS data across listings.

Double-wall construction is rarely checked (2 of 20 listings) and never discussed in remarks, whereas concrete is consistently emphasized. For a concrete high-rise, double-wall construction is unlikely to be a defining building attribute.

Hollow tile construction is almost never selected for this building in MLS data (1 of 20 versus 17 of 20 for concrete). With no remarks referencing hollow tile and near-unanimous focus on concrete, it is unlikely to be a primary construction type here.

A minority of agents (3 of 20 listings) specify masonry/stucco in addition to concrete, and no listings assert an incompatible exterior material. Given the building type, this is plausible but not as firmly documented as concrete itself.

No listings check steel frame construction, while 17 of 20 explicitly identify concrete. The building is represented and marketed as a typical concrete Waikiki condo tower, with no agent comments implying a steel-frame structure.

Only 3 of 20 current listings mark SLAB, and no current remark explicitly confirms a concrete slab foundation. The evidence is therefore limited and may reflect agent checkbox carry-forward, but the subset of MLS classifications and consistent concrete construction support retaining the feature with moderate confidence rather than correcting it to false.

No analysis available

Across 20 listings, agents consistently mark the building as concrete and never as wood frame. Remarks describe a high-rise resort-zoned condo in central Waikiki, which aligns with concrete rather than wood-frame construction.

Above-ground construction is almost never identified in MLS data and is not mentioned in any public remarks. Given the building’s characterization as a standard Waikiki condo tower, this checkbox appears not to represent a distinct construction feature here.

There is zero MLS or remark support for brick construction: 0 of 20 listings mark BRICK and no descriptions reference brick exteriors or walls. The building presents as a concrete high-rise rather than a brick structure.

There is no MLS or remark evidence of single-wall construction: 0 of 20 listings mark it and all characterize a high-rise condo, not an older single-wall structure. This supports treating single-wall construction as not applicable here.

The remarks provide overwhelming repeated evidence that Marine Surf permits legal short-term rentals. They reference legal vacation rentals, Airbnb operation, resort zoning, grandfathered or NUC-eligible status, and rentals under 30 days.

Although the building has resort zoning, restaurants, and legal short-term rentals, the remarks do not state that it participates in a hotel rental pool. The building pool mentioned in the listings is an amenity, not evidence of hotel rental-pool participation.

The remarks do not identify any mandatory hotel rental pool or requirement that units enter a rental program. Multiple listings state owners can live in, vacation in, or rent their units, supporting a non-mandatory conclusion.

At least three different listings explicitly state that their units are fee simple, using phrases like 'fee-simple 392 sq. ft. studio' and 'Fee simple with one covered parking stall.' No listing describes any unit as leasehold, indicating that fee simple tenure is definitively available in this building.

Dozens of remarks emphasize fee simple ownership and never reference leasehold terms, lease rent, or lease expiration dates. With 0 of 20 MLS entries marked LH and repeated 'fee simple' language across multiple agents, it is very likely the building does not have leasehold units.

The listings identify the property as fee simple and do not mention a ground lease, leasehold tenure, lease renewal, or lease expiration. No specific lease-expiry year can be extracted.

The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language, including "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None was found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.

The remarks contain a direct statement that the property is "fully insured," matching the definition for full building insurance or walls-in coverage. This supports a high-confidence true value.

At least 3 listings explicitly mention in-unit fire sprinklers, using phrases such as "fire sprinkler in unit" and "fire sprinklers within the unit." The repeated, consistent remarks across listings, combined with FIRSPR appearing in 10/20 current MLS records and high historical confidence, strongly support this building feature.

I searched for phrases including "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," "life safety compliant," and "passed fire inspection." Remarks mention fire sprinklers within units, but that does not establish a passed building-level FLSE.

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

Strong evidence across many listings (10+ mentions) explicitly market ocean or beach views with phrases like 'ocean view', 'sweeping ocean...views', and 'Ocean View'. Multiple agents/remarks consistently reference proximity to Waikiki Beach and ocean vistas, indicating the building offers ocean-view units.

Several listings (≈6+ mentions) explicitly reference mountain or mauka views with phrases like 'mountain views' and 'ocean and mountain views'. Repeated mentions across different remarks support that some units offer mountain views.

Diamond Head is explicitly referenced in several remarks (3–4 listings), including 'stunning views...Diamond Head' and 'Diamond Head side' descriptions, indicating some units in the building have Diamond Head views.

City views are strongly supported at the building level: 18 of 20 current listings identify CITY in their view descriptions, with no listings indicating NONE. Multiple remarks independently reference "city views" or combined "ocean, city, and mountain views," confirming this is not solely unsupported checkbox or copy-paste data.

Remarks regularly mention ocean/Beach views but never 'coastline' or 'shoreline' views, even for high floors and the penthouse. This suggests that while ocean views exist, extended coastline views are not a notable building attribute.

Listings emphasize city and ocean surroundings in the heart of Waikiki, not gardens or courtyards. The complete lack of 'garden' or similar view language across many units suggests garden views are not a notable building feature.

Across all compiled listings, there are no mentions of golf course or fairway views, only ocean, city, mountain, Diamond Head, and sunset views. This absence in both MLS and remarks supports that golf course views are not present.

None of the many listings reference marina, harbor, yacht harbor, or canal views; they consistently highlight ocean, beach, city, mountain, and Diamond Head views instead. This strongly suggests that marina views are not a feature of this building.

No listing advertises sunrise or morning‑sun views, despite very detailed view descriptions for multiple exposures. This strong pattern indicates sunrise views are not a marketed or notable feature of the building.

1 of 20 current MLS listings explicitly mentions sunset views, using the phrase 'lovely city, mountain, sunset and ocean views.' Although most listings do not mention sunsets, the explicit remark confirms that at least one unit offers this view, consistent with the previously high-confidence determination.

Across all listings, there are no mentions of a cemetery or cemetery views. The building is consistently described in relation to Waikiki Beach, shopping, and city views, making it highly unlikely that cemetery views are a feature.

The listings mention ocean, city, mountain, and lanai views, but none specifically identify fireworks views from the building or its units. Nearby Waikiki attractions do not establish this feature.

No analysis available

Across all remarks there is no reference to pets being allowed or disallowed, and no units are marketed as pet-friendly despite heavy turnover and many listings. Combined with the building’s hotel-condo, nightly-rental character (where pets are commonly restricted), this suggests pets are probably not permitted, but the evidence is indirect rather than an explicit 'no pets' rule in the text.

At least 4 current listings explicitly mention a "resident manager," including descriptions of the building's amenities and management. The repeated wording across multiple listings, together with RESMAN appearing in 11/20 records and high historical confidence, supports including this feature.

Numerous agents call Marine Surf Waikiki a 'hotel condo' and highlight that it is resort zoned, allows 'nightly short term rentals', and is a 'legal vacation rental building' and 'Airbnb approved'. These repeated descriptions and the MLS CONDOT flag strongly support that this is a condo-hotel (condotel) with hotel-like rental operations. Buyers searching for condotel opportunities would find this building fits that profile.

Many remarks explicitly state the units are 'fee simple', and none reference cooperative ownership, shares, or co‑op structures. Given the strong fee-simple wording and the lack of any cooperative terminology across many independent listings, the building is properly characterized as a condominium/condotel, not a cooperative, and the isolated COOTAX entry is best treated as a mistaken MLS checkbox.
