Punahou Cliffs
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched for owner-occupancy percentages and descriptive phrases indicating a high owner-occupied ratio. The remarks do not provide any such information, so the percentage cannot be determined from the listings.
I searched the remarks for an explicit elevator count, since this feature relies on direct mention rather than inference. The listings confirm the building has elevators, but none state how many, so the exact count remains unknown.
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.
Central AC is clearly supported by the public remarks, including phrases like "central air conditioning" and "central AC" in multiple listings. The MLS data also supports this pattern, with 9 of 19 listings marked ACCEN, indicating a real building feature.
Cable is directly confirmed in the remarks: one listing states that "tv cable" is included in the maintenance fees. This is also backed by strong MLS history, with 16 of 19 listings showing CABTV, suggesting a consistent building-level inclusion rather than a one-off agent error.
The building appears to include common area electricity/common maintenance based on both the MLS and remarks. While the public remarks do not use the exact phrase "common area electricity," they consistently reference "common area maintenance" and the MLS data is strong, with 16 of 19 listings including OTCOEX.

Hot water is directly confirmed in at least one listing that says "hot water" is included with the maintenance fees. This is reinforced by strong MLS history, where 16 of 19 listings include HOTWAT; there is no compelling evidence here to treat it as a false inclusion.
Internet inclusion is directly mentioned in the remarks, which state "internet service" is included in the maintenance fees. The MLS data supports this as well, with 9 of 19 listings showing INTSER, indicating a consistent amenity.
No analysis available
Sewer is strongly confirmed by the remarks, which explicitly include "sewer" among the fee-covered items. The MLS history is nearly unanimous at 17 of 19 listings with SEWER, making this a high-confidence building feature.
Water inclusion is directly stated in the remarks and is also strongly backed by the MLS history, with 17 of 19 listings showing WATER. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, suggesting this is a stable building-level inclusion.
BBQ is strongly supported across the listing set. At least several remarks explicitly reference "BBQ areas" or "private BBQ areas," and one calls out a "BBQ rec area," which looks consistent across agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error. Current MLS data is nearly unanimous at 18/19 listings.

Meeting room is explicitly confirmed in several remarks, including phrases like "Wine Cellar/meeting room" and "work room." Although only 1/18 current MLS records has MEEROO checked, the direct descriptive remarks provide strong evidence that the building has this space.
The building clearly offers patio/deck-style outdoor space, with 12 of 19 current listings showing the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked. Multiple remarks independently mention lanais and outdoor living areas, including phrases like 'private covered lanai,' 'large lanai,' and 'two private lanais,' which supports this as a building-level feature rather than a one-off unit detail.
Insufficient evidence: Although 4 of 17 MLS checkboxes list a jogging/walking path, none of the public remarks mention a 'jogging path', 'walking path', or 'running trail'. Historical data lacked confidence and current remarks provide no corroboration, so path_jogging is omitted.

Recreation area appears to be a real building amenity. The clearest public mention is "BBQ rec area," and the current MLS data supports this with 15/19 listings including RECARE. The evidence is consistent with a shared amenity rather than an isolated unit feature.

Strong, consistent evidence across the remarks shows Punahou Cliffs offers storage units/lockers or private storage space. Roughly 15+ listings mention it directly, often alongside parking, and the language is specific enough ('storage room,' 'private storage closet,' 'storage unit') to indicate this is a real building feature rather than a copy-paste checkbox artifact.
The public remarks were checked for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or 'bike and surfboard storage' and none were found. In the absence of any explicit reference to such a facility, it is likely the building does not offer dedicated surfboard storage, but this cannot be confirmed with high certainty.
No analysis available
Trash chute is suggested by the MLS data but not confirmed in public remarks. With 11/19 current listings including TRACHU, the amenity likely exists, though the lack of explicit remark mentions keeps confidence moderate. This may reflect MLS checkbox usage more than repeated agent description.

Good evidence: MLS indicates whirlpool on 11 of 17 listings and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'spa', 'hot tub', 'lagoon-style pool and spa', or 'hot tub' across several listings. The repeated, explicit mentions across agents support including whirlpool as a building amenity.
Pool is strongly confirmed for this building. Across many recent listings, agents mention a shared amenity using consistent language such as "pristine pool," "lagoon-style pool," "heated pool," and "overlooking the lagoon-style pool." The repeated references across multiple listings and different agents make this a high-confidence building feature, not just a copy-paste checkbox.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for indications that the pool is salt water, including phrases like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool'. None of the many pool descriptions specified salt water, so there is no evidence to classify the pool as salt water. Based on this absence, the pool is assumed not to be salt water, but with only medium confidence.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported for Punahou Cliffs. Multiple listings explicitly mention "full sized washer & dryer," "new washer/dryer," or "space for a full Washer/dryer," and the historical MLS data shows 17 of 19 listings with washer/dryer included. This looks like consistent building-level copy across multiple agents rather than a one-off claim.
No analysis available
There are no references to coin-op, card-operated, paid, or shared laundry in any of the remarks. I looked for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'laundry fee', 'card operated', and 'coin-op' and found nothing, so paid community laundry is likely not provided.
No listing remarks reference any shared laundry rooms or laundry facilities on each floor; instead they consistently highlight space or hook-ups for full-sized in-unit washer/dryers. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry', 'laundry room on every floor', but found none, so it is likely this feature does not exist.
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listings, with multiple remarks calling out "two designated parking stalls," "dedicated parking," and specific stall/storage placement. This appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste issue.
Covered parking is very strongly supported. The remarks across many listings explicitly reference "two covered parking stalls," "secure garage," and "gated, covered garage," suggesting this is not copy-paste noise but a consistent building amenity. Confidence is very high because the current descriptions match the historical MLS pattern.
I looked for explicit deeded-parking wording such as "deeded parking," "owned stall," or "parking included in deed." The listings consistently mention included, assigned, designated, tandem, and secure/gated stalls, but not that the stalls are deeded.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language such as "monthly parking charge," "parking rental," or any additional parking cost and found none. The remarks only describe parking as included or assigned, not separately priced.
Guest parking is mentioned in several listings, including exact phrases like "guest parking," "ample guest parking," and "guest stalls." The evidence is consistent enough to treat this as a building feature available to buyers.
Secured parking entry is strongly evidenced by repeated references to "secure garage," "gated parking," and keyed/security-controlled access. This aligns with the historically strong MLS pattern and appears consistent across multiple remarks.
Tandem parking is clearly supported by the remarks. Multiple listings explicitly mention "two tandem parking stalls," "2 tandem parking stalls," and "2 parking (tandem)," often alongside garage descriptions, indicating the configuration is a real and recurring building feature. The consistency across many agents makes this highly reliable.
No analysis available
I looked for terms like "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," or instructions to join a list for parking and found no references. The public remarks do not indicate a parking waitlist system.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe card or fob-based access (e.g., key card entry, fob access, electronic/card readers). References to 'keyed elevator' and 'secured parking' suggest controlled access but not specifically a card/fob system, so card access is assumed not present.
9 of 17 current listings include the SECGUA checkbox. Several unit remarks mention 'security', 'resident manager' or 'on-site manager' (quotes: 'peace of mind of security and a resident manager', 'security & ample guest parking'), providing moderate evidence the building offers on-site security service, though no listings explicitly state 'security guard' or 24/7 coverage and some language may be copy-paste.
The listings refer broadly to 'security', 'secured parking', and good building management but never to any roving or patrol-style security service. In the absence of explicit mentions of patrols, a security patrol is assumed not to be provided.
No analysis available
Central air conditioning is strongly supported for this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention "central air conditioning" or "central AC," including unit descriptions and amenity/maintenance notes, and the current remarks are highly consistent across many listings rather than a one-off copy-paste error. The historical MLS data also showed strong agreement, so this feature should remain included.

Concrete construction is strongly supported by the MLS data: 19 out of 19 current listings list CONCRE in construction_materials. No public remarks explicitly mention concrete, but the consistency across all listings indicates this is a reliable building feature rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

I searched for short-term rental indicators such as "STR permitted," "vacation rental allowed," "NUC," "TVU," or minimum-stay language and found none. There is no evidence in the remarks that short-term rentals are allowed.
I looked for hotel-rental-pool wording such as "hotel pool," "hotel program," or branded pool participation and found none. Because there is no evidence STR is allowed, this must remain false as well.
I searched for language like "mandatory pool," "must participate," or "cannot opt out" and found no references. The remarks do not suggest any required hotel rental pool participation.

I searched for leasehold language such as "lease expires [year]," "ground lease ends," or renewal/extension dates and found nothing. The remarks do not provide any lease expiration information.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted" and found none. Based on the available remarks, there is no evidence this building is VA approved.
Multiple remarks directly support full building insurance coverage, including an explicit "100% insured" statement. That is strong evidence of full HOA/walls-in insurance coverage.
Fire sprinklers are explicitly mentioned in 2 current public remarks, and the building-level MLS amenity appears consistently in prior data (11/17 and now 12/18 listings). The repeated phrasing suggests this is not just a copy-paste anomaly, but a genuine building feature that buyers should know about.
I looked for direct references to fire/life safety evaluation status, fire inspection results, or similar certification language. The remarks only mention fire sprinklers and security, which is not the same as a confirmed FLSE pass, so there is no evidence that this feature is true.

Diamond Head views are clearly supported by multiple listings. At least 3 current listings reference them directly, including phrases like “peekaboo view of Diamond Head” and “Diamond Head & beyond.” The evidence is consistent across different remarks and appears to be a real building feature, not copy-paste noise.
City views are supported by both MLS history and remarks. The strongest current evidence is the phrase “panoramic views of Manoa Valley to the City Coastline,” and the historical field shows CITY in 12 of 19 listings, indicating this is not isolated. Overall, the feature appears legitimately available in the building.
No analysis available
Garden views are strongly supported across the current remarks: multiple listings explicitly mention "lush tropical gardens," "serene garden and pool views," "tropical and lush landscaping," and views of "beautifully maintained grounds." Combined with the prior high-confidence MLS history, this is a clear building-level feature available to some units.

The remarks were reviewed for statements about seeing Friday night fireworks or watching fireworks from the unit or lanai. Since no such views were described, a fireworks view is not indicated in the available information.

MLS checkbox shows 14 of 17 listings include RESMAN, and multiple public remarks (at least 3 distinct listings) explicitly mention 'resident manager' or 'on-site manager' (e.g., 'peace of mind of security and a resident manager', 'on-site manager', 'resident manager, BBQ rec area'), indicating consistent reporting by agents and supporting a high-confidence true.
