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 owner-occupancy percentages and qualitative descriptions of owner concentration. None were found in the remarks, so the current value is retained. This remains a low-confidence figure because the listings do not confirm or deny it.

I looked for explicit elevator counts such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," or phrases like "multiple elevators." The remarks only reference elevator access, not the number of elevators. Per the rules, the current value 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.

Cable inclusion is strongly supported across the building. At least 17 of 20 current listings show CABTV, and multiple remarks say things like "maintenance fee includes cable," "Cable TV," or "basic cable TV."

Good corroboration: 14 of 20 listings list common area/common expenses as included, and agent remarks repeatedly mention 'common expenses' or 'common areas' being covered by the maintenance fee. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.

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 is one of the clearest included fees in this building. Nineteen of 20 current listings include ELECTR, and several remarks explicitly state "electricity included" or list electricity as part of the maintenance fee.

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 appears to be included for the building. Eighteen of 20 current listings show HOTWAT, and several remarks list "hot water" among the covered maintenance items.

Internet is supported by both MLS checkboxes and remarks. Thirteen of 20 current listings include INTSER, and several remarks say "internet included" or list internet alongside electricity and cable.

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 overwhelmingly consistent. All 20 current listings show SEWER, and remarks repeatedly list "water/sewer" or "sewer" as included in the maintenance fee.

Water inclusion is extremely well supported. All 20 current listings show WATER, and many remarks explicitly state that water or "water/sewer" is covered by the maintenance fee.

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.

Multiple listings and remarks reference on-site dining: phrases include 'restaurant on site', 'two on-site restaurants', and 'Aloha Steak House is in the lobby'. Historical MLS checkbox data also showed the restaurant amenity in about 11–12 of 20 current listings, and the repeated explicit mentions across agents indicate this is a genuine building feature rather than a single copy/paste error.

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 listings directly confirm surfboard storage. I searched for surfboard storage, board storage, and surf storage, and found explicit wording describing secure surfboard storage near parking. This is high-confidence 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.

Trash chute is strongly supported for this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention it, including phrases like 'trash chute on each floor' and 'community laundry on each floor w/trash chute,' and the current MLS pattern shows 18/20 listings with the TRACHU amenity. The consistency across multiple remarks and the high historical hit rate make this a high-confidence building 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.

Pool is strongly supported and appears to be a shared building amenity. Many listings explicitly say "pool," "swimming pool," or "refreshing pool," including one that notes "Saltwater Pool." The evidence is consistent across numerous remarks and agents, so this is not just a copy-paste MLS checkbox issue.

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 remarks provide direct evidence that the building pool is salt water. I searched for salt, saltwater, and saline pool language, and found an explicit match. This is strong confirmation.

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.

Strong, repeated evidence across many listings confirms the building has shared/community laundry facilities. At least 15+ remarks mention it explicitly, often with the same wording ('community laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room on every floor,' 'on-site laundry'), which suggests consistent building-level availability rather than isolated copy-paste errors. This feature should remain included with very high confidence.

I looked for any indication that the community laundry requires payment, such as coin laundry, quarters, card access, or laundry fees. The remarks mention laundry facilities repeatedly but never describe them as paid, so there is no evidence supporting a paid-laundry setup.

The public remarks consistently and directly confirm laundry facilities on every floor. I searched for floor-by-floor laundry, same-floor laundry, and laundry room on each floor, and found repeated matches. This is high-confidence evidence for the feature.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings that the building provides parking. Current MLS data indicates parking features on all 20/20 listings and the public remarks repeatedly state phrases like "parking stall", "covered parking stall", and "one assigned parking space" in many agent remarks (appears across virtually every listing), indicating broad agreement rather than isolated copy/paste error.

Very strong evidence that parking is assigned/reserved. Dozens of listings explicitly mention phrases like 'assigned parking stall,' 'one secured, assigned parking stall,' 'deeded parking,' and 'designated/assigned parking space.' This appears consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so the building should be treated as offering assigned parking.

There is overwhelming evidence that the building offers covered parking. Multiple listings explicitly say 'covered parking stall,' 'one covered assigned parking,' 'covered and deeded parking,' and 'one standard covered parking stall at the basement.' The evidence is consistent across many remarks and strongly supports keeping this feature as true.

The remarks repeatedly describe the parking as assigned/deeded, including explicit wording like 'rare deeded parking' and 'covered and deeded parking.' That is strong public-remarks evidence that parking is deeded with the unit.

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 any parking price language such as 'parking fee,' 'monthly parking charge,' or 'parking rental,' but found nothing. The remarks instead emphasize assigned or deeded parking, so no separate parking fee can be confirmed.

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.

I looked for 'parking waitlist,' 'waiting list,' and similar terms, and found no evidence of a waitlist system. Because the remarks consistently describe assigned/deeded parking instead, this is set to false with low-to-moderate confidence.

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.

I searched for card access indicators such as key card, fob, keycard entry, or card reader. The remarks mention secured entry and keyed elevators, but that is not the same as a card/fob security system, so there is no direct evidence for this feature.

Security guard/service is strongly supported across the listing history. At least several current remarks explicitly mention "24-hour security," "24 hour security," or describe the building as "secure" / having "security" among amenities, confirming the feature at the building level. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and does not look like a one-off or contradicted correction.

I looked for wording that would indicate an active patrol service, such as security patrol or roving security. The remarks consistently mention 24-hour security and a resident manager, but they do not say the building is patrolled.

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.

Multiple current listings (at least 8 separate remarks) explicitly mention split/mini-split systems, with phrases like 'Split AC has also been installed', 'appliances, split AC, and furniture', and 'Mitsubishi split air conditioning'. Historical MLS data also indicated strong presence of ACSPL in several listings. Evidence is consistent across different remarks and listings, not limited to a single agent copy/paste, so inclusion is warranted.

Strong evidence supports window AC availability in this building. Historical MLS checkbox data shows ACWIUN in roughly 14 of 20 listings, and at least one recent public remark explicitly says, 'The new window AC is just installed.' The remarks overall are consistent with the building offering AC in some units, though many listings also mention split AC, so both types may appear across different units.

Strong building-level evidence indicates concrete construction. MLS data shows 19 of 20 current listings and 17 of 20 historical listings marked CONCRE, which is consistent across multiple agents and over time. Public remarks largely omit construction material, so the confidence comes from the repeated MLS pattern rather than copy-pasted remarks.

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.

There is overwhelming public-remarks evidence that short-term rentals are allowed in this building. Multiple listings explicitly describe the units as legal nightly/short-term rentals and mention NUC/grandfathered status.

I searched for hotel rental pool language such as 'hotel pool,' 'managed by hotel,' or branded rental programs, and found none. Since the remarks support STR but do not mention a hotel pool, this remains false.

I looked for evidence that owners must participate in a rental pool, but the remarks instead emphasize owner flexibility and the ability to use the unit personally. That supports optional, not mandatory, 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.

I looked for ground lease or lease expiry language such as 'lease expires,' 'ground lease ends,' or a renewal year. The remarks instead repeatedly describe the property as fee-simple, so there is no lease expiry year to extract.

I searched the public remarks for explicit VA-related language such as 'VA approved,' 'VA financing,' and 'VA loans accepted' and found none. Because there is no direct evidence, this is set to false with low confidence rather than assumed.

The public remarks explicitly state the condo is "fully insured," which matches the feature definition for walls-in/comprehensive building insurance. This is direct evidence from the listings and supports a high-confidence true value.

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.

I searched the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE, fire safety certified, and passed fire inspection. I found only references to fire sprinklers, which indicate safety features but do not confirm a passed evaluation. With no direct evidence, the feature remains false with low confidence.

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

No analysis available

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.

Strong building-level evidence supports city views. Across the remarks, multiple listings explicitly mention "city views," "city," or urban/ Waikiki city life, including units described as having "sweeping ocean, city, and mountain views" and "tropical breezes and city views." The consistency across many listings and agents aligns with the current MLS view data, so this appears to be a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise.

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.

I searched for phrases like fireworks view, watch fireworks from the lanai, or see fireworks from the unit. The remarks discuss ocean, city, mountain, and Waikiki views, but nothing indicates a view of Friday night fireworks 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.

Multiple public remarks explicitly state the building has a 'resident manager' (appearing across several listings; e.g., 'Amenities includes Swimming pool, Resident manager, Community laundry on each floor' and 'Building amenities include: swimming pool, 24 hour security, resident manager, restaurant in the lobby'). Current MLS checkbox data shows RESMAN checked in about 10 of 20 listings and historical MLS data indicated high confidence—evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, supporting 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.
