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.

The penthouse listing and MLS floor field establish a top residential floor of 23, matching the county's max_floors. The state's 24-floor field is set aside because REB floor values are unreliable.

The state registration lists 232 units and the county records a 232-unit CPR, with one building on the registration and parcel. The county's reconciled figure of 231 conflicts, but the registration total is authoritative for its scope.

Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 100. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.

I searched for explicit counts such as '2 elevators,' '4 elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators.' The remarks only reference elevator locations or access and do not confirm or deny the current count. The current value of 2 is therefore 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.

Cable inclusion is repeatedly confirmed across many listings, including phrases such as "cable included," "basic cable TV," and "maintenance fee includes Cable TV." The evidence is strong across multiple remarks and is consistent with the current MLS data showing 16 of 20 listings.

Common expenses are supported by current MLS data in 14 of 20 listings and by repeated remarks stating that total monthly fees cover common expenses. The explicit $892 fee descriptions listing "common expenses" provide strong confirmation, although this wording appears in fewer remarks than the utility inclusions.

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.

Electricity inclusion is consistently documented across the building, with numerous remarks stating "electricity included," "fees include electric," or "maintenance fee covers electricity." This is supported by 17 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated independent descriptions.

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.

Hot water inclusion is strongly supported by both MLS data and public remarks, including phrases such as "hot water included" and fee descriptions listing electricity, cable, internet, hot water, water, and sewer. The absence of WTRHTR in all 20 listings further supports that hot water is building supplied.

Internet inclusion is confirmed in several detailed remarks, including "MF includes electric, water, sewer, trash, cable & internet" and descriptions of fees covering "internet, hot water, water, sewer, and common expenses." The evidence is consistent with current MLS data showing internet service in 13 of 20 listings.

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 unequivocally supported across the building. All 20 current listings contain SEWER, and many remarks explicitly say "sewer included" or list "water and sewer" among the maintenance-fee services.

Water inclusion is unequivocally supported across the building. All 20 current listings contain WATER, and repeated remarks state that maintenance fees include water or list water together with electricity, cable, sewer, and other covered services.

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 20 current remarks mention a patio, lanai, or covered outdoor space, including repeated descriptions such as "2 lanais," "huge 280 sq ft lanai," "covered lanai," and "two patios." The evidence is strong across numerous listings and agents, and it confirms the historically high-confidence patio/deck feature rather than appearing to be checkbox-only copy-paste.

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 10 current listing remarks explicitly mention an in-building restaurant or dining facility, including repeated references to 'two on-site restaurants,' an 'on-site restaurant,' and a restaurant in the lobby. The feature is supported across multiple listings and agents, consistent with the historically high confidence and not merely an isolated checkbox.

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.

The direct statement specifically confirms secure surfboard storage in the building. This is strong, feature-specific evidence.

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 confirm the feature, including the repeated phrase 'a trash chute on each floor' and a reference to laundry on each floor 'w/trash chute.' Together with 16/20 current MLS amenity entries and prior high confidence, the evidence strongly supports a building-wide trash chute system.

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 pool is confirmed across all 20 of 20 MLS listings, and numerous remarks from multiple listings explicitly describe the building’s swimming pool. References include a “nice pool on the 4th floor,” “refreshing swimming pool,” “building pool,” and “saltwater pool,” making the evidence strong and consistent rather than dependent solely on copied checkbox data.

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.

The direct saltwater-pool statement confirms the pool is salt water. Other listings consistently confirm that the building has a pool.

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 overwhelmingly confirmed across the listings, with well over 15 remarks explicitly mentioning shared facilities. Repeated descriptions include 'community laundry on each floor,' 'laundry machines on every floor,' 'laundry room,' and 'on-site laundry,' indicating a building-wide amenity rather than isolated copy-paste.

The listings frequently mention community laundry, but none state that users must pay to operate the machines. References to paid guest parking do not establish paid laundry.

The remarks repeatedly and consistently confirm floor-by-floor community laundry facilities. This provides overwhelming evidence that the 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 explicitly mentioned across numerous listings from multiple agents, well beyond the threshold needed to confirm the feature. Repeated phrases include "assigned parking stall," "secured, assigned parking," "deeded parking," and "one assigned parking space," so this is strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated checkbox.

Covered parking is strongly supported across numerous listings from multiple agents, not merely by copied MLS checkboxes. Many remarks explicitly identify assigned or secured covered stalls, including basement parking and covered/deeded parking, confirming that the building offers covered parking.

Multiple listings explicitly describe parking as deeded, including "rare deeded parking" and "covered and deeded parking." Other remarks consistently describe assigned, covered, or included parking, supporting that deeded parking is available for at least some units.

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 repeatedly discuss assigned, covered, and deeded parking, but do not provide a separate parking fee. Maintenance fees are mentioned, including a total monthly fee of $892 in some listings, but no amount is identified as a parking charge.

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 describe assigned, covered, and deeded parking but do not mention a building parking waitlist. Based on the public remarks, there is no evidence of a waitlist system.

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 controls, but no qualifying card- or fob-based access language was found. Keyed access alone does not establish a security-card system.

At least 7 listing remarks explicitly mention building security, including repeated phrases such as "24-hour security," "security during the evening hours," and "Marine Surf Waikiki features ... 24 hour security." The evidence appears across multiple listing descriptions and agents, and is consistent with the previously high-confidence determination despite limited current MLS checkbox usage.

The remarks support the presence of general security personnel or measures. However, no specific patrol-service language was found.

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 listings explicitly mention split AC, including units where it was newly installed and remodeled units featuring Mitsubishi split air conditioning. The repeated, specific descriptions across multiple listings, together with 6/20 ACSPL inclusions and previously high confidence, strongly support that split AC is available in some building units.

Window AC is strongly supported across the listing history and remains present in current MLS data, with 13 of 20 current listings reporting ACWIUN. At least two current remarks explicitly reference window air conditioning, including a unit with "window A/C" and another stating, "The new window AC is just installed."

Concrete construction is supported by 19 of 20 current MLS listings and the previously high-confidence building record. No listings explicitly state "concrete construction" or "reinforced concrete," although one mentions "polished concrete floors," which concerns interior finishes rather than the structural system; the consistent MLS data across many listings is strong evidence.

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.

There is overwhelming repeated evidence that Marine Surf permits legal short-term rentals. Listings reference legal vacation rentals, nightly rentals, Airbnb-approved use, resort zoning, and rentals of less than 30 days.

Although the remarks repeatedly describe resort zoning, legal short-term rentals, restaurants, and vacation-rental activity, they do not state that units participate in a hotel rental pool. The building amenities and rental references do not by themselves establish hotel-pool participation.

The listings do not identify any requirement that owners participate in a hotel rental pool. Multiple remarks describe flexible use as a residence, second home, owner retreat, or independently managed rental, providing evidence against mandatory pool participation.

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.

Multiple remarks explicitly identify Marine Surf units as fee simple. No land lease, ground lease, lease renewal, or lease expiration year was mentioned, so no 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 loan approved.

The remarks contain a direct statement that the condo is 'fully insured,' matching the definition of full building or walls-in insurance. This confirms the feature with high confidence.

At least 3 current listings explicitly mention in-unit fire sprinklers, including "fire sprinkler in unit," "fire sprinklers within the unit," and "Fire sprinklers in the unit." This confirms the previously high-confidence feature across multiple listings and is not merely supported by an MLS checkbox.

I searched for statements about a passed fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE approval, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, or a passed fire inspection. Remarks mention fire sprinklers within units, but that does not establish that the building passed an FLSE. No qualifying evidence was found.

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 across the building, with 17 of 20 current listings marking CITY in the view descriptions and multiple remarks explicitly confirming them. Examples include "ocean & city views," "stunning views of Ocean, Diamond Head, City and mountains," and "lovely city, mountain, sunset and ocean views," indicating this is not limited to a single copied remark.

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 remarks mention ocean, city, mountain, lanai, and beach views, but no qualifying fireworks-view language was found. Nearby Waikiki attractions and beach access do not establish a fireworks view from the building.

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.
