Key features include ocean, mountain, Diamond Head and sunset views from various units, a swimming pool, a resident manager and a security guard. Units are reported to have split and window air conditioning. The building's common features and staffing are noted in the available records.
Additional details from MLS indicate covered, assigned parking is available with guest parking provided. Pets are not allowed, and short-term rentals are permitted. Management is listed as Hawaiian Properties, Ltd. This description is based on MLS data; buyers should verify all information independently.
Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
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.
Kept the existing owner_occupancy value of 10.00% because public remarks do not provide any quantitative or qualitative owner-occupancy information. I searched the remarks for explicit percentages and descriptors but found no evidence to confirm or change this value.
Kept existing value of 2 elevators due to lack of any explicit numeric statement in the public remarks. I searched remarks for exact counts and synonyms (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators') but found no explicit count; references to 'elevator' were generic.
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.
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.
16 of 20 current MLS listings check CABTV and multiple agent remarks explicitly state 'maintenance fee includes cable' or 'Cable TV' (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes electric, cable, water/sewer'). Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, though somewhat repetitive, indicating a building-level inclusion of cable.
14 of 20 listings have the common-area/other expense checkbox and remarks mention 'common expenses' or 'common areas' included in fees (e.g., 'covering ... common expenses' and 'common expenses' in total monthly fee descriptions). Evidence is broad across listings, suggesting common area electricity/expenses are included building-wide.
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.
19 of 20 current listings indicate electricity included and numerous remarks state 'maintenance fees include electricity' or 'electric' (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes electric, cable, water/sewer'). The evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agents and listings.
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.
15 of 20 listings check HOTWAT and multiple remarks explicitly state 'hot water' or 'hot water included' (e.g., 'Fees include ... hot water' and 'covering ... hot water'). No listings show unit water heaters (WTRHTR=0), reinforcing that hot water is provided and included at the building level.
13 of 20 listings include the internet service checkbox and agent remarks frequently mention 'internet' or 'internet included' (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes electricity, internet, cable, water'). While not universal, the evidence across multiple listings indicates building-level internet is commonly included.
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.
All 20 current listings list SEWER as included and numerous remarks explicitly say 'water/sewer' or 'sewer' is included (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes ... water/sewer'). This consistent, universal evidence across listings and agents makes inclusion of sewer highly certain.
All 20 listings indicate water is included and many agent remarks state 'maintenance fee includes water' or 'water/sewer included'. The consistency and pervasiveness of these mentions across listings provide very strong evidence that water is included in the 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.
Across all the marketing remarks, no one mentions "concierge," "concierge service," or a staffed front desk; security and resident manager are the only staff roles highlighted. With only 1 of 20 MLS entries checking the concierge amenity and no textual support, the weight of evidence is that there is no concierge service at this building. The lone MLS check is best interpreted as an agent mis-click rather than a real feature.
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.
Strong evidence across listings that the building offers patios/decks: at least 18 separate listing remarks explicitly mention lanais/covered lanais/patios (quotes include 'private lanai', 'covered lanai', 'two lanais', and '723 SF wraparound lanai'). This corroborates prior MLS checkbox data (multiple listings showing PATDEC/COVPAT) and appears consistently across different agent remarks rather than a single copy-paste error.
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.
11 of 20 current listings include a restaurant amenity and many remarks explicitly mention on-site dining: phrases include 'two on-site restaurants', 'restaurant right downstairs', and 'Aloha Steak House is in the lobby'. Multiple agents and listings reference restaurants in the building, providing strong, consistent evidence that the building has one or more restaurants.
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.
At least one listing clearly identifies secure surfboard storage as an amenity ('secure surfboard storage ... on the same level as parking'), confirming the presence of surfboard storage facilities.
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.
17 of 20 current listings list a trash chute amenity and remarks explicitly state 'trash chute on each floor' and 'community laundry on each floor w/trash chute'. Multiple listings across different agents mention the chute, yielding strong evidence the building has a trash/garbage 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.
Strong evidence the building has a shared swimming pool: the MLS checkbox is set on all current listings (20/20) and numerous public remarks explicitly mention a 'swimming pool', 'refreshing pool', or 'saltwater pool' (e.g., 'Marine Surf is a well managed condominium building featuring a refreshing swimming pool', 'Amenities include swimming pool'). Mentions appear across many agents/listings and consistently describe a common building pool, so confidence is high.
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.
Several listings directly identify the building pool as saltwater (e.g., 'Saltwater Pool' / 'Maintenance ... Saltwater Pool'), providing strong evidence the pool is salt water.
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.
At least a dozen listings from different agents mention shared laundry, using phrases like 'community laundry on each floor', 'community laundry rooms on each floor', 'on-site laundry', and 'convenient same-floor laundry facilities'. These references clearly describe building-level shared laundry rooms available on each floor. With consistent confirmation in both historical data and current remarks, community laundry is a well-established amenity for this building.
Listings describe on-site/same-floor/community laundry but never reference coins, card operation, or laundry fees. Absence of any payment detail means no evidence that laundry is paid.
Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state community laundry on each floor (e.g., 'Community laundry is on each floor', 'community laundry rooms on each floor'). This is direct, consistent wording across many listings.
Building-level parking is well-supported: nearly every listing and the MLS checkbox indicate parking is provided. Remarks repeatedly state 'parking stall', 'covered parking', and 'parking' across the majority of listings, and MLS parking_features contain parking values for all current listings, so evidence is strong and consistent across agents.
Assigned parking is affirmed across multiple listings: numerous remarks explicitly say 'assigned parking stall', 'deeded parking', or 'one assigned covered parking stall'. This is repeated by multiple agents and appears in the MLS parking_features, so the evidence that the building offers assigned parking is strong.
Multiple listings specifically highlight covered parking, with language like 'covered and deeded parking', 'one covered assigned parking', 'secured covered parking stall', and '1 assigned and covered parking stall'. MLS checkbox data also shows most units with covered or garage-type parking. This consistent emphasis across many independently written listings indicates that Marine Surf Waikiki offers covered parking stalls.
Several listings explicitly state deeded/assigned/secured covered parking stalls are included with units (quotes: 'covered and deeded parking' and many mentions of 'assigned parking stall'), so parking is deeded with 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.
I searched for 'parking fee', '$/month', 'monthly parking', and 'parking rental' and found no explicit parking charges. Unknown whether there is a separate monthly parking fee.
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.
There is moderate evidence that parking access is secured: several listings mention 'secured covered parking stall', 'secure building', 'secured entry' or 'secure lobby' and there are references to on-site 24-hour security and keyed elevator. However, not all listings mention secured parking, so the evidence is present but not uniformly stated across agents.
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.
I looked for 'parking waitlist', 'parking waiting list', or 'join waitlist' and found none. Listings consistently state assigned/deeded parking, so no evidence of a waitlist (low confidence due to absence of explicit denial).
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.
Building security is highlighted (secured entry/24-hour security/keyed elevator), but there are no explicit references to card or fob access systems in the public remarks.
At least four separate listings describe the building as having "24-hour security" and refer to security as an amenity (e.g., "The building includes a swimming pool, 24-hour security" and "Marine Surf Waikiki features swimming pool, 24 hour security, resident manager"). MLS data also shows SECGUA checked in 5 of 20 listings, supporting the presence of staffed security. This consistent pattern across multiple agents and years strongly supports that the building has security guard coverage.
While multiple remarks note 24-hour security and a resident manager, there is no explicit mention of a security patrol or roving patrol service in the public remarks.
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 four separate listings describe split systems, using phrases like 'split AC', 'Split AC has also been installed', and 'Mitsubishi split air conditioning', often tied to recent renovations. This aligns with MLS data showing ACSPL checked on 4 of 20 listings. The consistency across multiple independently written remarks indicates that some units in the building have split AC.
MLS checkbox history is strong: 16/20 current listings include the ACWIUN (window AC) inclusion. Public remarks explicitly state 'The new window AC is just installed' and several other listings note installed air conditioning (e.g., 'Split AC' and 'Mitsubishi split air conditioning'), so evidence across agents and listings supports that units in the building have window AC units available.
Across the building’s MLS history 17/20 listings list CONCRE as a construction material, indicating reinforced concrete construction. Public remarks include a reference to “polished concrete floors,” and the CONCRE checkbox appears consistently across multiple agent listings rather than isolated copy/paste corrections, so evidence remains strong that the building is concrete.
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.
A small subset of agents (2 of 20) explicitly mark slab construction, and none contradict it. Combined with the consistent concrete classification and typical local building practice, this supports inferring a concrete slab foundation despite underreporting.
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.
Public remarks consistently and repeatedly state short-term/nightly rentals are allowed (multiple listings call it a 'legal short-term vacation rental' and 'Airbnb approved'), so STR allowed with very high confidence.
Although the building is sometimes referred to as a 'hotel condo' in other contexts, current public remarks contain no mention of a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program, so set false with moderate confidence.
Listings explicitly describe owner flexibility and self-management and do not state any mandatory participation in a hotel/rental pool. Because STR is allowed but no mandatory program is referenced, mandatory pool is false with high confidence.
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 call the units 'fee simple', indicating no land lease applies. Therefore there is no lease expiry year to report.
Public remarks contain no indication the building is VA-approved. I searched listings for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found none, so set to false with low-medium confidence.
Multiple listings include direct language indicating the condo/building is fully insured (walls-in/HOA coverage). I located at least one explicit quote confirming 'fully insured', so marking as true with high confidence.
Several independent remarks specifically state that Marine Surf Waikiki has 'fire sprinkler in unit' or 'features fire sprinklers within the unit', including a penthouse listing. Combined with 11 of 20 MLS entries checking the fire-sprinkler amenity, this provides strong building-wide evidence of a fire sprinkler system.
No public remarks indicate the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation (FLSE). I searched for terms like 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no such statements; only references to in-unit fire sprinklers.
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 9 listings explicitly market ocean-related views, using phrases such as 'High-Floor Studio with Ocean & City Views', 'great corner unit on a high floor with ocean view', 'partial ocean views', 'sweeping ocean, city, and mountain views', and 'Beautiful views of Waikiki beach from your lanai'. These references span various unit types (studios, a rare 1-bedroom, and a penthouse), indicating that multiple units, not just a single penthouse, enjoy ocean/waikiki beach vistas. Combined with prior high-confidence historical data and the absence of any 'no view' remarks, this strongly supports view_ocean for the building.
Multiple current listings explicitly mention mountain or Diamond Head views (at least ~6 listings: e.g., 'sweeping ocean, city, and mountain views', 'stunning ocean and mountain views', 'Mountain and ocean views'). Historical data had High confidence for mountain views and the recent remarks from multiple agents corroborate that some units offer mountain views.
One penthouse listing explicitly advertises 'stunning views of Ocean, Diamond Head, City and mountains', and other listings reference being on the 'Diamond Head side'. This shows that certain higher‑oriented units enjoy Diamond Head views.
City views are referenced across many current public remarks (at least ~10 listings: e.g., 'High-Floor Studio with Ocean & City Views', 'relaxing on your private lanai with ... city views', 'tropical breezes and city views'). Given prior High historical confidence and repeated confirmation in current remarks, some units in the building clearly offer city views.
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.
At least one unit is marketed with 'lovely city, mountain, sunset and ocean views', clearly indicating a sunset exposure. This supports that select units in the building offer sunset views.
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.
Remarks emphasize ocean, city, mountain, and beach views but contain no statements about fireworks being visible from the building or units. Searched for terms like 'fireworks' and 'watch fireworks from'.
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.
Historical MLS data indicated RESMAN checked in roughly 10 of 20 listings. Current public remarks explicitly mention 'resident manager' in multiple listings (e.g., "swimming pool, 24 hour security, resident manager, laundry"; "Amenities includes Swimming pool, Resident manager, Community laundry on each floor"), showing consistent confirmation across agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error, so evidence is strong that the building has an on-site resident manager.
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.
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.
